I just hope that this race isn't like last year's where 5 cars pulled away and Repko threw it away at the end even though he had a massive run on Dollar. Moreover, I just hope this race runs on schedule, but those hopes look bleak when you look at the weather forecast for Saturday (95% chance of rain all day). 3.

They will be returning to Daytona in February. 5.

On the other hand, hopefully the Huffs are able to make the grid this time around. Also good to see the 35 & 69 back in action even after crashing out at Daytona, that concern always lurks when it comes to the smaller/parttime teams. Toni Breidinger has picked up a lot of attention from larger media outlets outside of those that would usually cover motorsports, much less a series like ARCA. For her sake I sure hope she finishes well, the midpack run at Daytona followed by the ugly lap 1 crash at Phoenix haven't really done her any favors so far. 7. rm posted: 04.22.2021 - 10:45 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) For what it's worth, Ryan Huff entered (and then quickly withdrew) very late at Daytona with that same car info, save for Land & Coates being the sponsor rather than Huff Racing. 8.

Greg Van Alst spins in third place and sets off a multi-car incident that ends with fifth-place Ty Gibbs going right into the inside wall. Gibbs had a great run going but it's over now. 18.

NASCAREnthusiast posted: 04.24.2021 - 2:30 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Listening on MRN, and heard that Sanchez got into Van Alst, who collected Gibbs, and Ferrier was also involved. The 2 will continue, but the 18, 35, and 44 are out. Any others? 21.

The FS1 broadcast is using the break in the action to pay a brief tribute to Charlie Glotzbach after the popular racer passed away yesterday. R.I.P. Charlie Glotzbach 1938-2021 23.

She having a great run today so far, she's up in the top-15 as we get ready for the closing laps. 26.

The front end is smashed and the #29 Toyota has burst into flames! Lancaster gets it stopped and gets out. That was scary. 34. Danish_Pie posted: 04.24.2021 - 2:50 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Haven't seen a car grenade like that in a long time. Really vicious flames on the 29. Glad to see him out of the car, laying on the grass at turn 3. 35. RaceFanX posted: 04.24.2021 - 2:52 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Dollar and Heim got together and Heim bumped Lancaster as a result, sending Derrick into the wall hard. Lancaster walked away but he laid down in the grass as he worked with the medical crew afterward. 36. TeamDCRfan posted: 04.24.2021 - 2:53 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Heim and Lancaster were bumping ane it ultimate sent the 20 into the 29. Looks like Lancaster is hurting. He's on the stretcher. Haven't heard seen a hit like that in a couple years. The two most recent I can think of are Brad Smith in 2015 and Tommy Vigh Jr. in 2019. 37. RaceFanX posted: 04.24.2021 - 2:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Red flag is back out with four to go. The top-10 is Holmes, Snachez, Heim, Dollar, Mader (!), Wood, Moffitt, Sieg, Kitzmiller, and Caudell with America's fastest pizza delivery guy Andy Jankowiak in 11th. 38.

The last Top 5 he had was, coincidentally, a 2nd place finish at Talladega 44.

Canadianfan posted: 04.24.2021 - 3:11 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) @38 I'm not surprised. Xfinity green flag is less than an hour. They moved it up because of potential weather. It does take awhile to do all the setup stuff. 46. DI9_ForLife posted: 04.24.2021 - 3:12 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Well that was actually good. A good race and a good finish for once in an ARCA superspeedway race! 47. RaceFanX posted: 04.24.2021 - 3:12 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) Jankowiak came home seventh, nice run for #73. 48. Timothy_Eklund posted: 04.24.2021 - 3:14 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yeah I knew when the venturini cars got locked up there was no stopping them. Only way the 23 was beating them was with the 18s help. 49.

Come on now. Dave Mader III: 65 years old Rest of the top five combined: 80 years old Atta boy Dave! Also awesome to see Eric Caudell get a top ten, he was hanging around the top ten for a lot of the race and almost made it into the top five at one point. Great step forward for him. 55.

Canadianfan posted: 04.24.2021 - 7:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @57 According to Pockrass there's two in the car one near the driver which must be activated by the driver and the second is in the fuel-cell area that is heat sensitive. Obviously he got his bell rung that was quite a sudden hit on the backstretch he took. No time to really dissipate in energy except that SAFER barrier. 62.

Tarheel posted: 04.25.2021 - 8:37 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Dave Maders 2nd place finish has got to be a record for length of time between too five finishes in any major racing series. Twenty nine years and nine months. Six of the top ten in this race weren't even born yet the last time Dave scored a top five. 68.
