Underdogfan posted: 07.13.2020 - 11:07 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) My prediction for the ones who are most likely to move on Austin Dillon, Aric Almirola, Clint Bowyer, Matt DiBenedetto, William Byron, Christopher Bell, and some dark horses are JHN, McDowell, and Stenhouse. Bubba will likely get in by fan vote 3. BOBO83329521 posted: 07.13.2020 - 1:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) With regards to the fan vote I think the most likely contenders to make it in via the fans are: Bubba Wallace Aric Almirola Matt D LaJoie? Reddick? Bowyer? Byron? And at least 2 maybe 3 of those will get in via the open stages (most probable Byron, Almirola with either Reddick, Bowyer, or Matt D winning the entire event, although we did see Bubba win the stage last year) 4.

"We are all disappointed, but it is strictly a business decision that we had to make." 10.

DiBenedetto and Reddick are both very good at Bristol as well so they could also win segments. 11. Mile501 posted: 07.13.2020 - 6:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Given their history at Bristol, Dibenedetto and Stenhouse seem like they have to be favorites. But there are at least 10 guys who have a realistic shot at the win. And since we're at Bristol instead of an intermediate track, even someone like McDowell, Nemechek, or LaJoie could pull off an upset. 12.

John Hunter Nemechek, in particular, came out poorly in the qualifying draw. 17.

The #43 is totaled BUT could Wallace, if he won the Fan Vote, get back into the All-Star with someone else's car? Say Austin Dillon or Quin Houff doesn't make it tonight, could he borrow the #3 or the #00 and race it instead? Or is that against the rules? 38.

But I think the stages are a stupid idea in all respects. @42 - obviously it's to stop the drivers from playing games on the choice. No waffling along down into the corner trying to pick a lane, you do it by the cone or go to the back. @17 - don't really care. I look at the roof number to identify the car. As someone said, it does make the cars look kinda like pavement late models. 58. Jason24 posted: 07.15.2020 - 7:39 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Ty Dillon makes a big save on the restart.

I think the stage 1 winner should be listed as finishing 1st, the stage 2 winner listed as finishing 2nd, and the stage 3 winner listed as finishing 3rd, with everyone else listed from 4th on back. The way they've been doing it in recent years makes no sense. I thought I had seen a race on RR that did show the results in that manner, but I can't find it now. Either that, or they could break it into multiple races like they did from 2000-2002 and publish the results from each of the 3 open stages. 108. danny posted: 07.15.2020 - 8:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Thats pretty mean of some of you to go after Michael McDowell like that. he is not a racist why bring that up. 109.

That being said, Bubba did go a bit far by going after McDowell's religion (Though I can kinda understand why, since McDowell does talk about his religion a lot) And people are still claiming that Bubba Wallace is a Black Nationalist Terrorist, and comparing him to Smollet (Very different situations, and if anybody should be compared to that idiot Smollet it should be Steve Phelps, as he was the idiot who blew the noose incident into a hate crime) 122.

Front Row and McDowell auctioned off the bumper to raise money for Motor Racing Outreach. CarParts.com ended up being the winning bidder, with a bid of $20,034. They then matched that amount with a separate donation of $20,043 to Victory Junction. (Notice the last two digits of each amount.) What a neat and positive way to end this story! 123.

He scored his first career Cup win later in the season at Daytona. 124. Rich posted: 12.25.2020 - 6:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Mike Joy and Jeff Gordon were the commentators.
