Brad says addressing a safety issue??? Why would they not bring that up to NASCAR? That explanation sounds a little sketchy to me.

Story of my life too. I had all 4 drivers in the top 10 before all the chaos at the end. Then had 2 of those drivers DNF.

Sounds like we were all in the same boat!

I keep wondering what picks I haven’t made! What am I forgetting?
BTW - Does anyone else miss slingshot? Does anyone know of another game with that format?

Ank: I was wondering the same thing.

Several cars still need to go through tech but notable that front row cars of Larson and Bowman are good.

Chase Briscoe and Daniel Hemric will lose a crew member and have to start in the rear after failing prerace tech twice. Still a handful of cars that need to go through on second time.

Hemric car has failed for a third time. That would be a pass-through at start of race. First time was body and second time was toe. Haven’t heard what third time was.

Briscoe car was good on third time so he drops to rear. Hemric car good on fourth time. Expecting Hemric to have to drop to rear and do pass through at start of race but waiting on confirmation. All cars now through tech.

Danica Patrick to be in the FOX booth for Vegas and Phoenix.

Danica Patrick is taking her tires (and talent) to the sunny state of Florida for the Daytona 500 ... but not before channeling her inner-yogi.

Dang it ... had the 47 and 17.

Anyone know if they're still running inner liners in the tires? It sure looked like when those tires went flat they were truly flat. So flat that the cars got hung up on those diffusers that are underneath the rear of the cars.

I heard them say earlier— no inner liners

Seems like Nascar should rethink both the tires and the single-lug wheels.
