@Kennedy01 this is my favorite race of the year!
Best combination of speed, skill, and guts of all the tracks.
I'll be glued to the tube this weekend!
Let's roll!

I’m watching practice now , several fast cars Chastain is looking good today. Along with Reddick , Logano , and Cindric. The throwback paint schemes aren’t as good as usually but the racing should be good.

Cool paint scheme. I haven't seen any of the cup throwbacks yet.
I like that one , and Bowman’s Mark Martin Valvoline scheme. We used to go to the races every year when I was a kid in the 90s and that car takes me back when I see it.
Kind of annoying that this race and the Miami GP have the same start times.

Lights out and away we go in Miami for the F1 GP.
Caution Lap 2, 6 car spins on the back stretch
Caution Lap 30, Competition Caution. The 78 is the beneficiary.
