Radioactive Richmond 2021...
Bowman gets past Hamlin in the spring.

Truex under the lights in the fall.

I noticed that Allmendinger is on the entry list for Richmond! —any chance he might retaliate on Chastain?

Well one way to be sure of it would be for me to start both of them and they'd both finish 36th & 37th.

I really miss having a practice before we have to make our picks! Of course I realize that it’s been 3 seasons since that was the norm. We probably won’t see that again on a regular basis.— 2 days at the track saves the teams $$$$.——-Hopefully we will get fantasy figured out . I find it hard to believe that teams like Gibbs won’t get it figured out in the next month or two. For now our past notes and research don’t seem to mean a lot!

I think what we are seeing is that young drivers adapt to change much faster than the gray beards. It seems to me when the next generation car first comes out the older cup drivers struggle, some then adapt to it and the others walk away.

does anyone remember if NBC and USA are going to carry practice and qualifying or are they going to put that on the Peacock streaming network?
Peacock has a $38 / year special running because of Wrestlemania 38 this weekend. that seems like a good deal.

It bothers me when drivers qualify well,but don’t have any 10 lap averages to show for it—- also sometimes no 5 lap averages! Any thoughts?

Cindric will be going to the rear today for unapproved adjustment. He was starting 20th.

Yep, one of those things that make you go huh, do they really like their car or do they just not want to wreck it........

this is the day where prayers for lucky dogs skyrocket for your drivers.
in 2021 the spring race had 14 cars on the lead lap / fall race only 9 cars.
good luck to all.
