Always a favorite weekend of the schedule- hope rain isn't an issue tomorrow.
Dual poles for Gibbs with Kenseth and Jones. Interesting short and long term decisions as they have to sort out if Jones gets some cup races, while Regan is solidly in the Chase, and what happens when Kyle is ready to return.

I know it's Napcar but it's also Bristol. Busch race is in half an hour.

Sliced Bread and Happy dominating the Xfinity regulars as usual. Jones down to 9th.

Wire to wire for Logano. Forecast does not look good for tomorrow or Monday.

Good..I'm working and traveling until Tuesday.

Me so selfish.

Maybe they'll luck into a primetime weekday race where something memorable happens to give the ratings a needed kick....

From Jayski:

 

 

• Rain at Bristol: It's raining at Bristol Motor Speedway and the start of the race is in a holding pattern. The National Weather Service forecast calls for showers, with thunderstorms. Chance of precipitation is 100%. There is also a 60% chance of rain in the forecast for Monday. However, the track obviously has lights, Air Titan is on site, and the track is small, so any periods of dry weather could allow for NASCAR to get the track dry and to race. See more detailed weather information at SB Nation and check out more weather links on the Bristol Race page - weather section.(4-19-2015)

I think I just heard you yell for joy on the other side of the world.

 

Brad and Logano wrecking each other... the only way this race would have had a better start is if Nicole Briscoe was doing the grid walk in a white shirt.

and it's raining...again.

Did they say when the rain will end? The MotoGP race was hella brutal.

[John B]

Fox coverage just ended but based on the radar it could be OK by evening unless of course something pops up. Fox sports 1 has coverage if it happens tonight. Obviously penske wishes they had been less efficient drying it the first time.....

[Red17]

Back at home base, what did I miss?

Back at home base, what did I miss?

 

Rain, and more rain.

[Red17]

Amazing! They are actually still trying to dry the track! Seems like im due to some overtime after Long Beach.

 

(yes, yes, I know, I jinxed the weather so I could watch the end, but at least they are not lapping behind the SC)

About to restart- another year with two Bristol night races. Jones is in for Hamlin.

I really wanted to see a race at Bristol but I am completely falling asleep. I'll see how much I'll manage. At most 100 laps.

[John B]

Harvick piles on more laps led but involved in Johnson-Burton fracas, Not a good night for the dominant teams of 2015.

[Andrew Hope]

Does no one gaf about Napcar here anymore? I know the rain is a bit of a curveball but this race has been pretty good so far.

[Seth]

Well, that was interesting.  511 laps, with major changes in fortune, and a happy ending for most.

For all their Mercedes like advantage at times , Stewart Haas has to be rueing several missed opportunities this year.
Andrew- think Nascar admin must be wondering same with overall ratings and interest recently, a big picture subject with several likely causes.

[Bloggsworth]

Is it my imagination, or is Patrick getting better at this NASCAR business?

[LuckyStrike1]

She's having a slightly better year this year so far. And it is a contract year ...
