Congrats to Aric, the first first-time winner since Marcos Ambrose at Watkins Glen in August 2011.

Homestead is a better race to go to, and cheaper.

Yeah, saw this one coming and I don't mean the weather. Next time it rains at the july race, just throw on wets and open up the road course FFS.

Wonder how it feels to take the checkers when you're parked?

Does anyone really think Almirola has a snowballs chance in hell come chase time? Going to be a shame if he takes a slot that a team with much higher numbers but without a win doesn't get in. Right now Vickers, Dillon and Hambone have outscored him.
have outscored him.

And on the second day, the Lord proclaimed "the race is an embarrassment." And the race endeth.

Get over it people. Nascar officials did all they could for 2 days to run this race. Just celebrate of good guy getting his first win.
16 cars in the first wreck, 26 in the second.

Pretty crazy! That second wreck has to be a record for the total number of cars involved?

Then if it doesn't stop by 5? Then what, wait till 7 and start at 9? 11? Monday? At some point, it's time to call it.

There were hardly any fans in the stands anymore. NASCAR aint gonna run a cup race for 100 people
Maybe NASCAR will let RPM sell the Chase spot for cash....like they do at Indy....Tony might buy it.

Eh, TV is more important for NASCAR now than in-person attendance is anyway.
Can't wait to see the TV ratings for this race.
And the texts

Those 100 people ARE the TV audience.

With this spectacular event NASCAR ratings ought fly right through the toilet without hitting porcelain.

Nothing wrong with waiting a little longer when you still have 5+ hours of daylight, plus lights. Not asking to wait all night, but 3pm eastern little early to me.

Fox and NBC experiencing a little buyer's remorse...

There was a green flag, 2 big ones & a good run for Danica. Nascar got everything they wanted. Throw the flag.

Nah, because Nascar ratings are great for FS1 and NBCSN.

But how much longer? 7? 8? 11? Seems no matter what call they made some people wouldn't be happy. Lots of other considerations to make besides the place having lights.
Look at weather radar for Daytona, it wasn't gonna happen.

Yeah, it's almost impossible to dry the track after the sun goes down.
Let's be honest --- no matter what decision NASCAR made they were going to be condemned by somebody.
They had to draw the line. They had hundreds of support people they had to consider --- police, fire, emergency workers, track workers, etc.

17 cars finished on the lead lap. Only 7 cars weren't torn up from the Big one or the Huge one. Considering a lot of good cars from teams who normally run up front were torn up or out this was a big fluke.

True, but they had to give a king's ransom for the TV rights. I think they're gonna have a tough time recouping their investment, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
