RaceFanX posted: 08.11.2020 - 2:03 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The NASCAR Xfinity Series makes unexpected debut on the Daytona International Speedway road course after the roval was drafted in as a replacement for Watkins Glen amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Like all other races right now this one will be run without practice or qualifying even though this is somewhat of a new track. This will be the series' second-straight road course race after racing at Road America last week where Austin Cindric took the win. The Mustangs have been good when the going gets twisty, Chase Briscoe won the series' inaugural race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway roval in July. 4. QFH posted: 08.11.2020 - 2:25 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Briscoe is going for 3 for 3 on his career on debut road course wins. He won the Roval the debut in 2018 and the Indy GP debut in 2020. 5.

This would hurt teams that change drivers frequently like the #8. 6. UnderdogFan89 posted: 08.12.2020 - 2:47 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Alex Labbe's penalty has been overturned. 7.

This update either reflects that fact or means that he wasn't approved, there's been no statement yet either way that I'm aware of. 12.

This swapped more than just the 36, though that was the most significant change (Pardus will now start 12th instead of 15th). 13.

RaceFanX posted: 08.15.2020 - 3:54 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @18 It appears it was called the NASCAR Cannonball Compact Division but it looks like it might have been just a special race for Speedweeks during the run up to the 500. They ran a big road course race in 1961, running the track clockwise in the opposite of the usual fashion, with a road course race and one on the oval a year earlier in 1960. 20. RaceFanX posted: 08.15.2020 - 3:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) This will be the first true NASCAR race on the Daytona road course since the old Modified series ran here on it in 1976. Bobby Allison won that race in a Camaro. The Modifieds continued running at Daytona on the oval for a few years after its 1974 to 1976 tenure on the road course. 21. Z posted: 08.15.2020 - 4:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) They've pulled off pit road as we're set to start this one. NASCAR has declared this a wet race, so the field will start on rains. 22. Z posted: 08.15.2020 - 5:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Actually NASCAR changed their minds after much of the field had already pitted, it's a damp race. Meaning cars that hadn't taken wets (many did under the impression they had to, as needed during "wet race") will be at an early advantage. 23.

Just my opinion. L9 Haley ride around on-board. Allmendinger's gained ~1.5 sec, -3.5 L9. Pardus smacked T3 turtles pretty good, he drove it hard but kept it from locking up. 35.

Haley L13 spins through the grass. #16 pitted before YF. Burton wheelhopped under the 11, Haley TORE through the grass and his day's done. The damage was like he smacked a curb, it was bad.

Though w/ the # of problems early, who knows ATP. Lally's running a strong 5th. Allmendinger given a full lap penalty (he was servicing outside the box - NOT removing equipment, 2 SEPERATE penalties; in this case, a difference of a whole lap) 41.

Little lockup inside bottles up Allgaier & others. 92 off, slams into the GO BOWLING sign and doing some improptu donuts trying to get it around, like he's slidinh on ice. Caution debris T11 (not anything else that happened, just debris). Josh Williams should take up Formula Drift after that one, though he missed the 3rd sign so maybe a little parctice for his bowling skills. 63.

So a 1 lap caution is really closer to 3. Note that on the roval they don't run a whole "one to go lap", instead the pace car turns out the lights at the backstretch chicane. 173. Maverick20 posted: 08.17.2020 - 9:32 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) NASCAR's scoring for cautions is that the lap a caution comes out is classified as under green. Every lap after that is then ?under caution.? The last caution lap before a restart is still under caution, then the laps after a restart are scored as under green. 174.
