+1 on the weather. Who is going to win ? Thats a good question. I just hope they race clean and safe. No big crashes.

14 laps in. Big crash. I wish they would eliminate the oval races at Datona and run all the rraces on the road course.

Wreckers or checkers.

Watching now at almost 9pm CST, still in stage 1. Going to be a late finish that's for sure.

28 cars left, I think.

Denny Hamlin is going for a 3-peat, no one has ever done it. He has already won 2 of 3 stages. He is currently leading as of 10:34pm CST.

27 to go and he is still out front. Id like to see the 4 win. Last year he had 9 wins and should have gotten the championship cup.

Well, no 3pete for the 11. Nasty crash at the end, good to see everybody get out of the cars. 18 and the 2 took some hard hits.

HobieMarty · 08:38 PM

Yep, and watching it in real time it looked like the winner is the one who actually caused all of that mayhem at the end. Yellow caution lights were blinking and they were still running full on. Hmmm, sucky end of the race but, oh well, that's NASCAR for ya. Glad everyone is okay.

Even with the rain delay, it was far better than a F1 race.

Yup, pretty clear that McDowell caused that wreck.

Any one of those drivers in that wreck could have been killed.

What a douche. I hope his sponsors are proud.

They need to bring the boxing back to nascar...

^^^ Yep. 34 got into the back of the 2 at least twice. Free showers at Loves travel stop for 1 month.

Joey coming down across Brads nose definitely didn't help things. I think you guys are being a bit hard on McDowell and not hard enough on Logano for coming down to block the run Keslowski had.

mattdavis11 · 02-15-2021, 03:04 AM

I think you have a great point. I had not seen that angle of replay. Lasagna tried to block Quesolowski and paid the price.

I agree. Not a lot different from the lap 14 crash. 18 bumped the 20 and the 20 bumped the 10. I watch the Daytona 500 every year but it is not the sort of racing I like. The Daytona road course rocks. Same for Charlotte.
