Can’t wait to see how many the Festival Chicane claims.

Awesome to have another standalone race on the schedule

This will be a classic, "If gap, car" type of race.

Ryan Preece and short tracks
His whole NASCAR career he either runs circles around the field or runs out of talent and boneheads himself out of the running.
I don't care for him, personally. Drives like he's half his age more often than the road course master he is

Really surprised they haven't had to toss a yellow yet.
Hope I'm not cursing this by mentioning it.

Sumbich...
That one's entirely on me. I hate it for the team; they put together a great deal and I ran out of talent. We'll have to move on and get 'em next week.

Looking at the radar the rain may stop before halfway....

It looks like a good crowd especially with such crummy weather.

It's easy to make the "Rain. Go or don't go?" decision when you know they're going to run anyway.

It's Oregon, they are used to it

Really cool to see NASCAR here today, along with the general resurgence of PIR. There was so much talk for so long about NASCAR getting into the PNW market, and it never happened. This track is five minutes from where I used to live. At that time I would have been able to hear the race even if I wasn't in attendance. Hoping I'll be back in town for business in an upcoming year and can attend.
The light rain is very fitting. Would be weird if it were sunny this time of year.

They can only refuel during stage breaks? Nice job of taking all the strategy out of a road course race, NASCAR.

That stop and go in T1 is not a big enough punishment.

Yeah, they're going to have to get a handle on that "penalty" for missing the turn. Nice joker lane option.

Dinger restarted 28th. Now 19th with two laps left in the stage

Chuck, could you give us something about Ty Gibbs real quick?

Ty must have watched Senna footage from Donnington in 93 before racing or something.
Dude is crushing the field today.

"Boy, that #54 is a rocket ship! Ty's gonna have this locked up if they just give him a decent pit stop!"

Random ARCA/Trans-Am ride buyer is also in 3rd, so I think the JGR cars simply are better than everything else. Not to say Ty isn’t more talented than pretty much everyone else out there still, he is.

Aaaaaaaand we get stuck with non-competitive cautions.

It make financial sense for teams though, this is supposedly the lowest paying race of the season. Traveling out west for a one-off like this has to be costly.Aaaaaaaand we get stuck with non-competitive cautions.

Then give them a 2-minute minimum, 3 max. If you're ready in 2, go.

I fear this restart will set the tone for the rest of the race.
I would totally be fine with the rules we have today if it meant a couple more standalone races.
Iowa Speedway, IRP instead of IMS, and maybe Canadian Tire or Lime Rock Park should be on the Xfinity schedule.

I was thinking the same thing. The home boy ringer helped with the setups
