Ready for some racing. Weather looks good --- so far. *fingers crossed*

Open at the green.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

GREEN!

Good battle for the lead --- early, though.

 

[Kiante]

Good stuff.

Here's a letter Erik tweeted a bit ago.

Pre-race, Larry mac saying Paul Menard"s expression is like a dial tone, it never changes.
Dale Jr. great job in the both, suit and tie and all.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Congrats to Brendan Gaughan on being the 2016 sit in a hot race car champion.

did anyone else see that smoke inside the 20 car earlier?

 

[AdoubleU24]

Bowman must have the 24 cup crew today

 

[AdoubleU24]

did anyone else see that smoke inside the 20 car earlier?

JR said it was likely just tire smoke

 

[racefan41]

JR said it was likely just tire smoke

ah thanks, I was wondering if that was it. I had just turned it on and saw it but didn't hear anything

 

[AdoubleU24]

ah thanks, I was wondering if that was it. I had just turned it on and saw it but didn't hear anything

Yeah if I remember right he said it was probably from more lateral movement in the corners since Erik was running faster lap times after taking the lead.

 

[DanicaFreak]

hows JR doing?

 

[AdoubleU24]

I think he's doing a great job.

Sidenote: There is so much rubber on this track right now. Basically pitch black in the corners. Forgot what that looked like with all this recent rain

 

[Kiante]

Once again, I've been real happy with Bowman's performace.

Dude really is a solid shoe and Justin Marks has done a darn good job with very limited experience. Good job by those two so far and once again...

Why is Ryan Sieg with RCR full-time in the 2 car? Dude really needs some sponsors.

 

[Matthew2470]

Algier whining because he was passed by a faster car. Ironic.

 

[racefan41]

new leader 18

 

[AdoubleU24]

Come on Suarez!!

 

[aunty dive]

He's there.

 

[racefan41]

Nice!

 

[AdoubleU24]

YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

[Michfan]

Kyle choked lost to the JV squad

 

[ToyYoda]

Way to go Daniel!!!

 

[AdoubleU24]

So happy for that guy. Always a winning attitude, and now a winner.

 

[Pat]

Far freaking out!!!!! Had me on my feet.

 

[Blaze]

Niccccce!!!

 

[aunty dive]

That right there is why these guys like to race the Cup drivers.

Awesome.

 

[harkin]

Kyle choked lost to the JV squad

It was over as soon as he pushed him waaaaaay up.

 

[ToyYoda]

That car looks so much like Carl's, I was expecting Suarez to do a backflip.

 

[Michfan]

"to beat a guy like me" humble SOB

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Congratulations to Daniel. Good stuff.

Dale did well in the booth.

I love that Victory Lane out front.

 

[Flyer22]

Sweet!!!!

 

[AdoubleU24]

"to beat a guy like me" humble SOB

Always has to give back handed compliments. Ego out of the stratosphere.

 

[kkfan91]

No better words in racing then Kyle Busch passed late for the lead

 

[AdoubleU24]

"I don't think I can speak English or Spanish right now." Haha

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I love a first time winner. Just pure, unadulterated joy.

 

[DaBiff1618]

Hell yes! Suarez finally gets it done! Bad luck is really gonna have to reassess things after Truex, Larson, and Suarez have won the past 3 weeks.

 

[BobbyFord]

Really awesome! So happy for Suarez.
