Almost forgot this was an early race. this track!

 

[nascarwoman]

Hoping to see all of this race before going to work. Can't wait for tomorrow.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

First casualty. Too early to be disrespectful.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Tires may be an issue today.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

So much for Crafton's 'sperience

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I wonder how many people saw that Humpy tribute and thought he was driving those stunt vehicles?

Good early run for Gio.

Two stages and no cautions for cause. They pulled their heads out.

Here? Nah!

Pretty strong for Riggs to get 4 spots back and the lead.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Nobody in the booth yelling at me, then they reminded me Mikey isn't here.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Can't believe how fast they've run this race. Must have hot dates later tonight. LOL

Dang it, Gio.

Heim playoff time.

I said earlier I was hoping to see all of this race before going to work. They heard and obeyed. ROTFL

 

[StandOnIt]

Day got 9 places back to finish 9th.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Excellent start to a holiday weekend.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Dang it, Gio.

Heim playoff time.

That truck has been the fastest thing at just about every single track they have been to and he could have easily had 10 wins by now except for dumb luck in a couple of them. Reminds me of the 54 in Xfinity when no matter who got in it, it was the fastest thing at nearly every track.

Not bad for the rookie, pit stops got him a bit.

Anyone know the record for the most races won in a season in each of the top three touring series? Can Corey break it? For Cup, we'd have to start with the Winston era.

$50 he’s first out at Phoenix.

Pretty much what happened to Heim last year.

Cup is untouchable the King won 27 in a year, including 10 in a row.

 

[Daytripper]

Yeah but the ran like 60 races in a year back then.

Xfinity is 13 by Kyle Busch
Trucks is 9 by Biffle.

Biff will be easy, Kyle is possible.

I agree they ran a lot of races in those days including a lot of smaller 200 lap type of events on the short tracks.

But 49 was the total number of races for 1967 with Richard Petty winning 55% of them.
