After watching all the slipping and sliding yesterday, today could be interesting.

Love this course, it's fast and treacherous. Always a good race.

Cut Mom's grass and repaired her oven door. Time for RA

They didn't try to take her gas stove did they lol.

She passed around some Bud Lights and it was all cool.

Love this course, it's fast and treacherous. Always a good race.

I was bummed they took this off the schedule for Cup (specifically July 4th weekend) and hope to see it added back in leu of one of the rovals. Highly doubtful but I can hope lol.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Dinger moved over for faster Custer. Classy.

 

[StandOnIt]

Oh man those two are racing hard and clean

 

[Brentford]

Dinger moved over for faster Custer. Classy.

Classy? Or smart?

 

[Blaze]

Really good racing for the lead!

 

[Blaze]

Oh man those two are racing hard and clean

Yeah, I’m loving it. This is the type of racing I love. When two people can race hard, but keep it clean

 

[Hotrod]

Well dang, listening to Legges radio. Car died.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Darn it, was hoping for better for Legge.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Classy? Or smart?

Yes.

 

[Daytripper]

What am I missing? How the first stage 22 laps if the race is only 45?

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[antman12]

Didn’t he just have the exact same problem with his dash like 2 weeks ago?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good restart. Fun racing.

 

[Tony_K]

Too bad for Legge.

 

[Hotrod]

Too bad for Legge.

Crew chief said the water pump probably puked.
Trying now to see if it will hold water at all.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Too bad for Legge.

Water pump.

I guess it's because there are no green flag stops.

 

[Hotrod]

I guess it's because there are no green flag stops.

They were going to have a competion caution but threw
it early with Legges caution. It wasnt the end of stage 1 .

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The Hell?

 

[Blaze]

Damn. Hard hit.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Damn, Smith just hit HARD.

 

[Brentford]

Wow! That has to be a scary feeling. Glad he appears to be okay.

 

[Tony_K]

I just don't know how he could do that! Glad he's alright.

 

[DewChaser988]

Why was there no SAFER Barrier or Tire Barrier there?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I just don't know how he could do that! Glad he's alright.

Heads up move!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Why was there no SAFER Barrier or Tire Barrier there?

There's foam. He hit it on purpose.

 

[Hotrod]

Kudos to Chandler Smith for running it into the wall to scrub off speed
after the break failure. Pretty sure I would of wasted time looking on the
dash for a parachute button.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Why was there no SAFER Barrier or Tire Barrier there?

I went back and looked. Not sure what that wall is, but it did give. A tire barrier could throw the car back out on the track.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I remember an IMSA Camaro hitting tires at the turn 1 wall and getting catapulted OVER the fence and down the hill.

 

[Musrat#2]

I just don't know how he could do that! Glad he's alright.

Very simple, he turned the steering wheel left.

 

[antman12]

Terrifying

 

[StandOnIt]

Well lets see. I am going to hit the wall head on at over 100 miles an hour OR I can hang a left and hit that wall, decisions decisions.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Just saw the crash. Going for the wall was the smartest thing Chandler could go.

 

[StandOnIt]

Allgaier is driving like he is on fire today. I hope he can keep it going. He's had some bad luck this year.

Looked like concrete.
Most road courses have concrete barriers alongside straightaways
