Laps 400 (all 4 stages: 100 each)

 

 

Toyota was dominant last two years but who basically owns the place

If the first was 60y ago and there was one each year, this year's is the 61st

I would also like to say that I watched Talladega Nights yesterday evening and I really enjoyed it.

Looking at the forecast, the chance of rain has lessened since the red flag. 

 

DW's vortex is working!.

Rather spectacular exit for Bowyer to end stage 1...

[John B]

Any chance they can set up the roval for Wed.? Or the second half tonight?

[StraightEdge]

Brad Keselowski wins with Jimmie Johnson second

[MarceltheVirginian]

I was so rooting for Jimmie to win, but P2 ain't bad. At least he didn't ROVAL himself to a worse finish.

[Branislav]

OMG Keselowski took it. Can you believe Keselowski took it. And I didn't watch

[Branislav]

JJ is DSQ. Fails inspection.

[jonpollak]

Nice gift for Roger. At least he got something out of Memorial Day.

Oh my.

 

A good-ol' fashon DSQ in the world of NASCAR is rare enough, but a 7-time champion Getting It is unheard of...

[John B]

Tough week for Elliott, but back at it Wed....

[MarceltheVirginian]

JJ is DSQ. Fails inspection.

Drat! 

[MarceltheVirginian]

Maybe it's a good thing Jimmie didn't win. Being the first Cup winner to be DQed under this new ruleset would have been an ignominious distinction.

what's the difference with Hamlin DSQ last year?

[MarceltheVirginian]

what's the difference with Hamlin DSQ last year?

Hamlin was DQed for an Xfinity win. So far no Cup winner has been DQed since the implementation of these rules in 2019.

[jonpollak]

Are we still in Charlotte?
I’m awake for a few mins.

Jp

[MarceltheVirginian]

Yup. Race looks like it's gonna start in 5-10 mins. From 7 to 9 PM the precip % is just under 50, once 10 PM hits, it's over 50. Let's hope we get the full thing in.

[MarceltheVirginian]

Lap 1 crash. Don't see that too often. Lack of practice?

[teejay]

This has not been overly exciting

[John B]

At 208 laps it's roughly half the distance of the 600 miler. Stage 1 finally winding down after delay. Inverted starts are fine for exhibition, superspeedway, and possibly full length races, but not sure if it's a great idea when short stages and points are involved.

Kyle Busch is driving an anti-tire weapon right now. I love weird moments like that.

Chase finally won (still gotta pass tech). Bubba was having a decent night, running in the top 10-15 for much of the night, but he had a mechanical failure late, which was really disappointing.

Edited by MarceltheVirginian, 29 May 2020 - 03:21.

[Branislav]

Looks like Busch got a competition (Elliott). And Reddick will be next big thing.

[MarceltheVirginian]

I enjoyed the race because there were a lot of names you don't normally see in the top-5, 10, 15, high in the running order. Bubba and Nemechek were battling for 9th at one point. Last year, a battle between the 38 and the 43 would have been for 25th, 2 laps down. Nemechek is getting so much more out of the 38 than his predecessor. The RCR cars had a good day, somehow Stenhouse didn't wreck himself and brought home a 4th place finish (he looked loose the whole race, every time he got near one of my favorites, I got nervous).

[Branislav]

I thought Stenhouse quit Nascar

[MarceltheVirginian]

Nah, someone wanted to hire him apparently. [Shrugs].
