radioactive Atlanta - Byron wins the spring race in 2022

Looks like weather could play a part this week end. Lightning and thunderstorms predicted for both Sat. and Sun. during track time.

Hope they get qualifying in! ——-not that it means a lot at superspeedway,but it’s all we have! Wish they did not change to this type of racing. Why change the tracks that worked?( Bristol to dirt —Atl to a drafting track— not racing IMO
That said — I’ll continue to watch and root for my favs!

Plus they repave the track change the track and they get no practice really That's a bad call on NASCAR's part they should have at least a 1 hour practice session before they go to qualifying.!

9 start league:
11 - 12, 3 - 20 - 45 - 47, 43 - 99

8 start league:
11 - 12, 3 - 20 - 45 - 47, 43 - 34

I'm thinking that a score of 300 in just about any league will be by accident. If it's like the last race at Atlanta it will be a race with someone like Ty Dillon winning. OK I got that out of my system. (Hope I'm wrong.)

 

[Sleestak]

The pack got broken up a lot in the XFINITY race today. More so than in the spring X race.

 

[Sleestak]

Ryan Blaney is second in overall points and with 8 regular season races to go, is at risk of 3 new winners bumping him out of the playoffs.

 

[Sleestak]

Hopefully the bottom lane is effective with good drafting for at least a few cars. Stenhouse was a beast pushing on the bottom in the spring.

I can definitely see that happening. Best to use expendable drivers here... ones you won't miss later on. These races are fantasy nightmares.

so the sponsor on the winning #8 car last week was 3Chi.
I didn't know the hemp and cannabis industry has come to nascar.
seems crazy that winston got chased away as a sponsor because of cigarettes and now cannabis is ok.

If I remember right the tobacco was eliminated because of the advertisement laws that were passed where no tobacco could be advertised in magazines, newspapers, or on TV. I always liked Harry Gant's Skoal Bandit.
Times are a changing.

 

[Juneau4]

Race start time has been moved up to 3:03 ET.--24 minutes earlier.

 

[Sleestak]

We're picking blind with no practice or qualifying.

Goin' 11 - 3 - 45 - 43 ... Couldn't pull the trigger on Stenhouse without a look.

hamlin / kurt busch / bell / suarez
i'm kinda in "save mode" already

ooops.... forgot i put bell on the bench and used briscoe because i had 3 bell starts and 8 briscoes

 

[Sleestak]

Hamlin is waiting for the right dancin' partner on the bottom.

 

[crashthe24]

nascar results will change a little after the race.
the finish was not to the line, but at the time of caution. a few drivers in the wreck are scored towards the back of the lead lap.
at the time of caution, they may have been top 10 or so.
