Hopefully it's not the usual boring MIS race.

MIS is not the only boring track, seems to be normal in NASCAR nowadays 🤨🤨🤨☹ï¸

Thanks bdcardinal...
Let's get this dude started!

 

[bdcardinal]

Excellent anthem.

 

[bdcardinal]

The 3 and 8 cars had their qualifying times excluded for violating this rule. They had disabled the alternators somehow to reduce drag and free up some horsepower.

Lap 15, car 48 into the wall off of turn 2. Tire is flat coming around the next lap. Spotters are reporting the track is clear. No caution and Jimmie is pitting. Right rear 1/4 panel is destroyed.

 

[bdcardinal]

Fortunately for everyone else, but not for Jimmie, the tire came apart and wrapped around the axle and not onto the track. Makes me wonder what else is damaged.

 

[bdcardinal]

Jimmie is 2 laps down in 38th place, close to going a 3rd lap down.

Good, hopefully that takes him out of the Chase!
