Cannot believe how close the cars are in qualifying. Round 3, coming up.

Brandon Jones on the pole.

Top 10 Qualifiers

and this bunch starts in the back

 

[TexasRaceLady]

From what I gathered listening to the booth, a number of those starting in the back had lots of trouble getting through inspection.

 

[kkfan91]

So I want credit if this happens

Appears to be Conor Daly if you check out their follow-up hints.

 

[StandOnIt]

If it is Connor Daly, that is disappointing, he is going to get his ass handed to him IMO.

 

[kkfan91]

I mean there are only a couple drivers with diabetes and I dont think anyone wants to put Charlie Kimball in something with fenders

 

[StandOnIt]

I have a sneaking suspicion Connor Daly has Diabetes.

Yeah the 3 I know of are Reed, Kimball, and Daly.

He shouldn't even be out of IndyCar, he nor Munoz, his teammate, both got raw dogged by Foyt.

Hopefully, Lilly's can get a sponsorship package for Conor.

If guys like James Davison, Austin Cindric, Alex Tagliani, Michael McDowell, Sam Hornish Jr., etc. can cover the field in these races I don't see why Conor couldn't do well.

Unfortunate.

Kaz needed another year in trucks though tbh, he was not quite ready for the jump just yet...

yeah I agree, I think he will find a spot further down the food chain.

Allen Bestwick said James Davison told him he'll be back in Xfinity Series road races later this summer.

 

[StandOnIt]

That didn't take long. A new team in the series also



Fury Race Cars announced on Friday that it would field the No. 61 Ford for Grala in the next four races, beginning with next weekend’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Shane Wilson will serve as his crew chief.

This will mark the first time Fury Race Cars, which has won several races and championships in local Late Model and Modified divisions of NASCAR, will field an entry in one of the three national series.

[Johali]

Good. He needs the seat time and also another ride, even if it's the X series, to compare to his Cup ride.

 

[Taco]

Mike Beam connection.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Joy...Chase gets seat time with an underfunded team so we'll now get to hear everyone's BS about how he's "underperforming" against the lesser talent, can't get a top 5, can't win, etc.

I wouldn't say underfunded just not a cup team, Spencer was too 10 in points before everything.

 

[kkfan91]

How long is road to recovery? I feel like I've seen guys come back through it pretty fast, but they are plan ing on his being out through at least August with this.

Why are you always so salty?

 

[StandOnIt]

Spencer Gallagher has a win and 5 top 10's in that car in 9 races.

Not necessarily salty as the amount of bull**** thrown Chase fans direction. It gets old and I can understand why.

Its essentially a JRM car, I think Chase will be fine. GMS spared no expense on these cars, Maurice wants his son in the best equipment possible.
