I'm pretty sure they did which is why I was questioning whether they could do much more than 11 laps

That's only 44 miles. I was thinking this should have been three 15-lap stages, 60 miles each.

 

[Brentford]

Yeah, I don’t know what the pit window is, but with NASCAR not having live pit stops, I’d wonder if NASCAR would consider bringing them down for non-competitive pit stops if fuel was an issue due to too many GWC’rs.

Mayer….at least take a chance on the front row.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ballsy move by Sage

 

[FLRacingFan]

Holy cow!!

 

[racer8]

Well crap

 

[donthaveanickname]

Gator's got this

Nope

 

[FLRacingFan]

Holy **** this is 2012 Glen 2.0!

 

[Tony_K]

What the ....?

 

[StandOnIt]

Austin Hill who they have ignored the whole race will probably pass Nemechek for the lead in the series.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Congratulations to Sam Mayer.

Bonehead post!!!

What a finish!!!

 

[Kiante]

Sam needed this.

Great win for him.

 

[FLRacingFan]

What a finish! The track had no grip on the restart with all the quick dry. Crazy.

 

[hmmm298]

Man the sound of those tires I keep thinking there’s a wreck.
A great job by the audio department capturing that sound imo

 

[antman12]

Phew. That was fun.

 

[FLRacingFan]

The Xfinity platform is so good. Such a versatile and racy car.

 

[StandOnIt]

That was incredible. Nobody saw that coming. Gerbil Jeff's head exploded...again.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And he tears it up on the cool-down!

 

[Spotter22]

Karam let the pressure get to him, thought he was gonna take it, Congrats Sam!

 

[donthaveanickname]

I really wanted Karam to win this but a great finish nonetheless.

Quite a messy race. Honestly I don't see a lot of future Cup winners in this Xfinity field. Maybe Chandler Smith but not many more.
It still sucks this track got taken off the Cup schedule.

 

[Hotrod]

What a win by the local kid, and was that his first xfinity win?
I have his dads autograph from a 2013 GrandAm race.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Great move by Sam to take advantage of mistakes.

 

[Blaze]

Happy for Mayer.

As long as PK drives for a**hole Scott Borchetta I don’t want him to win.

 

[StandOnIt]

Sam needed this.

Great win for him.

Yeah he did need it. He might settle down a bit and get better results now with his first win.

I never put together until today that he’s Scott Mayer’s kid. Wow, that’s pretty dang cool.

 

[hmmm298]

Kyle Larson DID lift. The SMT data showed it.

Probably shouldn’t have. Just take Denny with you next time.

Karam had said earlier that his car wasn't as fast as the 7 and the 00. He hung in there though.

 

[FLRacingFan]

P4 and P7 for SHR, that has to be their best day ever nonetheless.

Looking to have more Top 10s than the other SHR next year.

I’d put Nemechek and Hill up there. But otherwise yeah. A bunch of Xfinity lifers

I think Herbst will finally breakthrough. Great recovery drives from himself and Cole.

Oh yeah, he drove the shat out of it! Sam kept his head, great job! Lorin Ranier is a friend of mine and he spotted for Sam some in his early career and told me this kid was gonna be good.

I don't have a problem of lifers in any of the series. It's insane to think everybody is good enough to race in the top tier.

 

[donthaveanickname]

a**hole Scott Borchetta.

What did he do?

 

[Blaze]

What did he do?

He ****** over Taylor Swift. Sold her music to someone he knew she didn’t like, without giving her a chance to buy it. So now she has to re-record all her music, that keep in mind SHE WROTE or co wrote every single song. His record label wouldn’t have been **** without Taylor, and he stabbed her in the back. So I have no respect for him.

Plus berry. But maybe you guys left him out intentionally since you said future “winners” instead of future “champions”?

Blaze I didnt know you were a Swifty!

Maybe that’s why those cars tend to run in the mid-back and sometimes aren’t very “swift” then?
