#48 Alex Bowman

[Oakster]

Hamlin has a dark cloud that follows him......
Reddick said this track doesn't fit his style of charging into the corner too hard......besides, doesn't he start from the rear? gearbox change?

I'm going with Truex Jr. Smooth all day.

[4me2c]

Possible "Rain Delay" l8r...!!!

[dara]

We'll see if they get this race in today. They cut the previous race short due to standing water.

[crazed 9.6]

This track is gonna be a test on skill, that's an indeed for sure.
Might be much better of a track then I thought of it a few days ago :)

[Oakster]

[dara]

Nice finish to Stage 1, Blaney, Larson, Truex, Logano. I love this track now, pack racing like Daytona and Dega, but in less space.


Looks like Larson went below the line, so he'll probably drop back a place or two.

Edit... I guess not.

Race Red Flag 75 to go for Rain. Will see if this gets completed, but its late.

Martin Truex Jr. won the first stage of the FireKeepers Casino 400 ahead of Bubba Wallace and Ty Gibbs.

Truex took the lead on a restart on lap 19, breezing around Gibbs on the outside following the first caution flag of the day. Kyle Busch spun in turns 1 and 2 while attempting a pass of Ryan Blaney on lap 14. Richard Childress Racing was forced to retire the car.

Chase Elliott suffered right-rear tire failure on lap 34, resulting in a spin and hard smack against the wall, bringing out the second caution of the day. Truex, Wallace, Gibbs and three others stayed out, opting for track position and stage points.

Heads up... we will do a second Diecast contest for those who participated in the NASCAR pool previously. I'll post the rules in the contest thread, but the big change is to guess the total points over 3 of 4 of the next races (Watkins Glen, Daytona 2, Darlington 2 and Kansas 2). After the Kansas race, I will figure out what total of the 4 races will get you closest to your target, and the winner will be the closest guess from the entrants, and the earliest guess if there is a tie. So anyone from the pool participants who enters late or misses Watkins Glen will guess on the final 3 races. I'll open the contest later tonight.

Looking at the standings, Truex with that 1 pt race is below the line behind Harvick by 7 pts. Bristol Night Race is somewhat unpredictable, I do think that Truex should advance, but may be at the expense of a former champion, either Harvick or Logano. It wouldn't surprise me if Hamlin may want to get Bubba into the top 12 some how.

Yeah He bee MAD :


Busch, who started seventh in the 36-car field, spun out through Turns 1 and 2 in the 74th of a scheduled 267 laps in the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. His No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet backed into the outside retaining wall, sustaining heavy rear damage at the 1.5-mile track.

Busch guided his wrecked car back to pit road in reverse to the attention of his crew, but he drove to the garage with insurmountable damage. Busch will be credited with a 34th-place finish, just ahead of the race’s first two retirees — Todd Gilliland and Busch’s RCR teammate, Austin Dillon.

Busch was evaluated and released from the track’s infield care center. He had radioed his crew before the crash that he felt that his car had a right-front tire going flat but pressed on when the issue seemed to improve.

“I had no idea,” Busch told NBC Sports. “It felt really good when we came off of pit road after that green-flag stop. The car had good grip in it, and then we had those couple of yellows back to back, and I restarted on the outside, and I felt like I had a flat right-front. Was gonna come to pit road, and I second-guessed it and said, ‘I don’t think so, man. It’s just something’s wrong. Something’s not right, but it’s not a flat,’ and just all on its own, just turned into the bottom of the race track in Turn 1, it just swapped ends on me.”

The finish is Busch’s worst of the Cup Series Playoffs so far, and while he was steady in navigating through the postseason’s opening round, the result will mark his fourth finish outside the top 30 in the last 11 races.

“I felt like our car was, for sure, a top-five, top-10 car today,” Busch said. “Seems like every time I try, something happens. I crash or whatever. Right there, I just said it two laps before that, that I got up in the high side, and I was like, ‘You know what, I just need to just stop and just run the bottom, just make laps here, finish this stage,’ and it swaps ends on me. So I don’t know what to do. Somebody wants to tell me what to do, I’m all ears.”

"The car driven by Harvick finished 0.012 seconds behind race winner Ryan Blaney but was found to be in violation of Sections 14.5.6.2.F and 14.1.E and P; the former states that “windshield fasteners must remain secure for the entire Event,” and the latter section pertains to “Overall Assembled Vehicle Rules.”" That Sucks... windshield fasterners... :eek:
