Penske young gun Austin Cindric, the usual driver of the #60 this year, gets a shot in the Captain's #22 Mustang this week with backing from race sponsor Fitzgerald Glider Kits. 5.

JR-TV posted: 04.12.2018 - 3:29 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) ^Because the #45 has solid sponsorship and the #55 does not. And the higher the owner-points, the more likely to qualify. 11.

A glider is a new semi-tractor (Kenworth, etc) that's sold without an engine or transmission. A glider kit is a remanufactured engine, transmission, and all the other bits you need to make a complete truck. They're popular because you can use an engine from before the current set of emissions regulations, which will get better fuel economy. 28.

Tyson posted: 04.14.2018 - 10:53 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Morgan Shepherd slapped the wall only 25 seconds into round one of qualifying. The damage was pretty heavy, but Shepherd was able to complete a few laps in the session regardless. The damage seemed to slow him down, making him the lone DNQ for the day. Ryan Sieg crashed his car pretty hard in round two of qualifying. He was okay, but has to go to a backup for the race. Said in an interview with FS1 that his backup is his car from Texas. It has no brakes in it and no seat, so that team will have a quick turn around before the race this afternoon. Tony Mrakovich is no longer in the 28. NASCAR didn't clear him to race after two practice crashes and simply being slow on Friday... Dylan Lupton got his first laps of the weekend in qualifying and slotted the No. 28 car in the 33rd spot. Much faster than Mrakovich was yesterday. Cody Ware qualifies 39th, driving for Mike Harmon. He attempted the Daytona Truck race for Harmon, but this will be his first NASCAR start of the year. He's been racing on two wheels instead of four lately, driving motorcycles. This will also be his first XFINITY oval start since May of 2016. 30.

Looked like one of those old school Bristol wrecks. Bell got his car fixed and rocketed to the front using the outside lane, and after picking up more spots when others pitted on the lap 45 competition caution, took the lead by lap 55. 36. joey2448 posted: 04.14.2018 - 1:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Allgaier turned the No. 2 of Matt Tifft off turn 2 and spun him down the backstretch, a crash that also collected Elliott Sadler and John Hunter Nemechek. Sadler wasn't happy with Nemechek for hitting him, and showed his displeasure by sideswiping him under caution. 37.

The only thing that matters now is the playoffs and the consistency. That thing can also get you in and you don't even have to win. And by the way - a driver that scores points in Xfinity won, so those Cup driver limits work. Those Cup teams just won't miss those races where their Cup drivers can't be... They'll ask some other drivers that aren't in Cup to drive for them. 101. Ed posted: 04.16.2018 - 8:50 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Did the caution actually even come out for Cindric's crash?
