Omg it should be a great race next week, I will for sure watch it and no work that day.... I don't know with harvick but seems like he is dogging it. I know he is safe to get in but nice to stay ahead especially Kyle lol was a good race and lots of changes through out the field.

ESPN reporting AJ Allmendinger will not be returning to the 47 car next year. Lots of unfilled seats in Cup next year.

Practice 1 at the Roval in Charlotte was a wild one. Multiple cars were involved in crashes during that practice as drivers struggled to race the tricky new road course. Here were the top 10 survivors in first practice: 18-20-22-8-14-42-48-9-1-6

Here is how qualifying panned out later today at Charlotte: 41-47-88-9-42-48-14-1-12-37

A couple of pretty solid Xfinity drivers made it to the big time today> Ryan Preece will drive the recently vacated 47 car next year and Daniel Hemric, a Childress driver with a lot of talent will take over the 31 car next year as Silly Season carries on.

2nd practice this morning wrecked 2 more cars as Bubba Wallace and Eric Jones hit hard and will go to back ups. Heres the practice results: 48-8-78-2-18-9-42-22-12-24

 

[snopro]

Final practice is in the books and although Keselowski was the fastest in that session he will start in the back with other notables as a late practice crash will force him to a backup car. Heres your 10 fastest cars: 2-42-78-9-34-18-88-47-6-17. This race is going to be must watch TV as it is almost as much of a wildcard race as Talledega IMO.

Safer to start in the rear.

Road coarse, if it rains they still race.

One of the best races to watch in a while, lots of action, story lines and plain old fun. I like the roval!

ps. I dont think Jimmie does.

 

[Stompin Tom]

Watching Kyle Larson finish that last lap was a hoot! Just shows you cant give up.

 

[snopro]

Yep she was one for the ages. Some calling it the best Nascar race ever. Congrats to Ryan Blaney sneaking out the win as Jimmie and Martin got caught racing to hard. Heres the top 10: 12-1-14-88-41-9-47-48-4-22

 

[snopro]

Heres your Chase standings after the cutoff. Jimmie Johnson. Hamlin. Jones and Dillon are out. Jimmies brain cramp in the final chicaine killed his chances of moving on. 18-4-78-2-14-22-41-12-9-42-10-88. Congrats to Bowman for getting that last transfer spot.

That was a great race, loved the last 10 laps, lol

New rule changes announced for 2019 today by Nascar. Although a lot of them most people would find insignificant the really big ones that caught my eye was in regards to the restrictor plate races. The 2019 Daytona 500 will stay the same it always has been however the spring Talledega race will showcase the new rule changes for those type of tracks. First off the restrictor plates will be replaced by a smaller tapered spacer that will change engine horsepower from 410hp to roughly 550hp and way more throttle response. To offset the increased speeds that the extra hp will give drivers Nascar has mandated a larger splitter and rear spoiler effectively taking away most of that hp and giving the drivers far more downforce. Drivers seem happy with the changes but we won't know how or if the racing will improve or stay the same. It will be fun to see.
