Menard headed the wrong way; Truex goes side-by-side through the esses and gets by in the inner loop.

Vickers up to 15th.

Turn 1 fun with Jarrett, Said, Barrett, someone else. We're still green; check that, yellow.

[WestCoastGal]

Few more taillights out there now too lol

[steveegg]

Carlos Contreras goes into the sand.

Mikey got a big piece of Said, who ran over Jarrett in 1.

[steveegg]

Looks like something broke on Barrett's car well before the crashing started.

Crash headed in for 4 and fuel even though he's not in his fuel window.

[steveegg]

Pit strategery...Northurn Burton first one to stay out.

Biffle sent back to his pit stall for a loose lugnut. Race off...55 6 83

[WestCoastGal]

Crash get into the back of someone there when they held up the stop paddle???

My high speed connection keeps crashing on me...... havin trouble posting. Just reset my modem. Hope I can stay and really hope it works tomorrow.

Kinda hard to be a wise-a$$ when you can't stay around for replies.

[steveegg]

Ouch. Cable or DSL?

[umgud]

Odd that it would be going out. I've barely had a hiccup with my cable.

[steveegg]

Ready...ready...

Grenn flag

[WestCoastGal]

Spenser=Spencer

Newman & Tony going at it..losing fuel?

[steveegg]

Smoke dives under Rocket in 1. They touch, and Rocket either just lost some gas or picked up a tire rub. They both get by Bowyer in the inner loop.

[AGreatPer]

I heard someone say earlier today during rain delay that they do have rain tires with them and wiper motors. Sure would love to see that. Wondering if they would have them ready for tomorows race? I bring that up because of this weather forecast for tomorrow:

Sunday: Showers and thundershowers likely. High around 80F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Chance of rain 60%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inc

[steveegg]

They brought them down to Mexico, but I didn't think they had them available at the Glen.

I know they scrapped the Cup rain program a year or so ago.

[umgud]

Newman splashing a lot of gas.

[WestCoastGal]

Rocket has turned on the afterburners!
