[crazed 9.6]

I like Christopher Bell for this too :)
Only cause he is my best choice as someone who's done it in the dirt before !
So has Larson, but he ain't holding that pole all the way thru in the dirt, just no way on that !!!

Damn, its a tough call for this.

Go Go Bell !!

NASCAR postpones Cup, Truck Series races to Monday due to wet weather

With heavy rain in the area and safety concerns with Sullivan County (Tenn.) under a flood warning, NASCAR officials made the call to postpone the inaugural Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway just before noon ET on Sunday, pushing the race a day back to Monday, March 29.

The 250-lap feature, initially slated for a 3:30 p.m. ET start on Sunday afternoon will now move to Monday at 4 p.m. ET on FOX.

Larson was awarded the top spot based on performance metrics, using the formula that has set the starting lineups in other races where practice and qualifying were not held. His No. 5 Chevrolet, however, is expected to drop to the rear of the 39-car field after his Hendrick Motorsports crew changed engines after Friday’s final practice.

Bummer on the delay... scheduled for my 2nd Covid shot for that time slot.

[4me2c]

That puts a New Spin on "Getting Gassed Up and Going"...!!!

[crazed 9.6]

Truck race in the dirt and in the books.

Truex Jr sweeps Bristol with both stage wins and the checker flag.
This is his very first dirt track win !

There goes my theory concerning you can't stay out front the whole race :eek:

Kyle Larson took a hard hit and DNF

[crazed 9.6]

Cup Cars are racing at Bristol !
Truex Jr takes the early lead :)

[crazed 9.6]

A big crash with the cars at the rear of the pack..
Truex was coming and barely made it thru the wreckage unscathed !

[4me2c]

#10 is Out and #6 made it thru another Almost Bad Crash...!!!

#10 is Out and #6 made it thru another Almost Bad Crash...!!!

Yea, Byron spun Newman around and Newman managed to miss a bunch of cars speeding by , wow :)

[crazed 9.6]

ooohhhh oh, here we go again !!! .... this time Christopher Bell spins around gathering up Larson with him.

[crazed 9.6]

Truex Jr is on it !!!

[crazed 9.6]

Truex gets his first stage win for 2021 ... and his 44th stage win in total, which is a record for Cup drivers

[dara]

Finally... get to watch the last 50 laps

[crazed 9.6]

.......

[4me2c]

Getting Crowded again, get ready to "look out"...!!!

[dara]

4 laps to go, Caution.... wow.

[crazed 9.6]

Truex lost his chance with a bad tire or something :(

[dara]

Congrats Joey Logano, followed by Ricky Stenhouse and Denny Hamlin

7th different driver wins.

[crazed 9.6]

Joey is pumped !!!

[dara]

Next Week... Easter Bunny 500 at Wonderland! Results later.

That was fun to watch, the little I saw.

[4me2c]

Over-all, Good Race... Newman managed to end in 5th and I Think it's Time to start on One...!!! Lol...!!!

[crazed 9.6]

there were a few surprises today. Truex with his first real experience out front on dirt track (he also won the truck race this morning).
Then seems all the experienced dirt track drivers and previous dirt track winners, dropped back or wrecked or got enough damage to hold them up.
And guys like Saurez having one of his best days ever in a Cup car.
Newman spinning out early and getting a top 5 at the end of the day :)
And Hamlin held off and did not try the bump and run on Lagona on them last couple laps... that was unexpected, thought for sure he'd be on that :eek:
