Negative.
Looks like a rain delay, liked the thunder during the anthem. F1 will be starting at the same time not that far away.

The driver I rooted for in the 1990's was Ernie Irvan. Who remembers his wreck in turn two at Michigan that nearly killed him?
I do vaguely remember it. We always pulled for him since my uncle worked, and still does work, at Kidak in Rochester as a chemist.

I'm rooting for one of the Camrys to win!
At least it doesn't look as weird as the Chevy SS body with a Toyota emblem like in the Whelen Euro series.
Drivers report to their cars.
Last time Bowyer won there was an off week after, Bowyer knows how to party, coincidence?

Well Bower held off Kevin Harvick and 37 other drivers that raced today with the same set of circumstances and they did not win so I think he has plenty reason to be "happy".
TOTO.

Them SHR Fords are hard to beat!! Wonder how long its gonna take NASCAR and Toyota to "Find" something wrong with them or penalize them again to slow them down?
I was driving down I-75 from northern Ohio on the way home and (4) team trucks/trailers (different teams) were in a convoy running about 85 mph. Are most teams still based in the Carolinas ? I presume that's where they were headed and not to the next race, wherever that may be (and when).
Yes, most of the teams are based around the Charolette, Kanapolis, Mooresville, Welcome, North Carolina area. Furniture Row Racing is based in Denver, CO. There is an off week this weekend for Father's Day. The next Cup race is in Sonoma.
They usually don't have the haulers go directly from race to race. They go back to home base and reload the hauler and put in the primary and backup cars. On the West Coast swing for Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Fontana the haulers usually stay out West and the teams use transfer trucks to haul the primary and backup cars plus any additional supplies to the West Coast. The teams will work on cars in hotel parking lots or rent out shops during the week to work on the cars.
One cool this is Furniture Row keeps open spots on their company semis for the race team. Since all the parts come from Gibbs in North Carolina or TRD in Costa Mesa, CA they use the space on the trucks for the race team. Barney Visser is kind of a genius that way.
