I'm at work, so I agree.

I'm getting up early for a birding outing Saturday morning in SC bottomlands, so I'll appreciate the opportunity to go to bed early tonight.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I don't get why they don't even try to find a window for qualifying.

 

[StandOnIt]

The two amigos on the front row

 

[AdoubleU24]

I hope Chase chooses the outside lane, again

Too soon, man.

Please don't let this get bumped to the end of the season and wind up as the championship race.

"Mr. Phelps, Phoenix Raceway, Line 1."

Was listening to Stacking Pennies and it doesn't sound like Corey Lajoie will be turned loose this time. Guess since even with a win they can't make 30th in pts and therefore the playoffs it not worth the risk

Do you mean the #7 won't run at Daytona at all, or it will but with someone else driving?

Meaning he won’t be going for the win, riding around in the back and not risk destroying a 300k car.

And collect a check for finishing in the low 20s or high teens anyway?

Spire has totalled a lot of cars this season, I would tell him to chill out as well.

2023 Not so Bold Prediction - jet driers will be pulled by electric or hybrid trucks.

 

[Spotter22]

I have a 9 hour drive tomorrow to make the race. Think its gonna rain? Everything is screaming at me to not waste the entire day driving only to have to turn around lol

They are gonna run it if it takes until 1 am

If there's enough chaos in the front he'll still have a chance to get a Top 5 with that strategy.

But will they get rid of the jet dryers and just use the Air Titans?

Can't see that happening. The jet dryers are like weed eaters to a yard crew, they get the hard to reach stuff.

I recall there are some tracks where the Titans can't be used due to track configuration. Although I've already been wrong several times today, so what's one more?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Any guesstimates when they'll start tonight? 9?

 

[hmmm298]

I would guess noon.

Nissan Titans would've been a marketing coup...

 

[StandOnIt]

Looks like they were up to something

10:45

How about large turbine hairdryers, like Noah uses?

 

[acmerocket]

larson to the back, i think i saw chase with some clear tape near the 5

 

[Spotter22]

10:45

Update 10:15 provided that cell to the west dissipates

 

[DIDIT]

Please, please, please don't turn into a sh^t show like the Xfinity race. If anyone heard AJ's comments after the race, its exactly my thoughts.

Bubba Time tonight. Don't think I have ever wanted a guy to win so badly. Let's go!

Quit making sense and talking reality. Go full gerbil..This driver came out of nowhere, think Cinderella team, can they go all they way...points matter.

I’m going full gerbil myself. I truly think we see a wildcard winner like Keselowski or Bubba.

 

[aunty dive]

I think he sent himself to the back.

Still feeling guilty.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

"Should have scheduled the starts for 1:00p before the rain starts. At least they'd get to halfway."

There, we have that out of the way now. Y'all are welcome.

Well, they used to start at 11:00 am. Drivers and there families could still hit the beach afterwards.

Again?

 

[StandOnIt]

I wonder if Floridians have gills?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Again?

I have a standard to uphold.

Why would the drivers and families want to hit the beach in the rain?

If I've been at the track the last thing I want to do is go to the beach
