    I wonder will it get back running. You would normally expect it to be called but with the wet weather tyres there they might decide to finish it if the rain ends soon.

    Thats what I was saying, this wait is going on a long time. It's like they want to finish it.

    They are going back racing by the looks of things. I just knew it when it went past half an hour without being called.

    It suits all the guys that took the gamble on staying out because I believe these tyre changes are untimed so you don't lose position.

    So basically not taking tyres earlier doesn't hurt you.

    During the prayer or invocation tonight I was remembering one years ago, the best Nascar prayer ever. Well worth a watch. 😁

    a nashville marathon . Dinny looses it a few times with cautions . then Logano holds on after multiple overtimes .

    Bell was very unlucky. I don't understand why all those leaders took four tyres towards the end.

    It's great watching SVG race on these street tracks.

    I remember Bell was very unlucky in this race last year. He could be dangerous tonight

    Yeah, I have a feeling Bell will play dirty with SVG. Wet at the end of Stage 1. The restart should be good.

    Ah Briscoe, you ruined the race that was on. Disappointing for SVG to be punted into the wall (not by Bell).

    Yeah, Briscoe went hot down the straight, locked up and clipped SVG punting him into the wall. Undriveable, so out.

    The dinger could be a danger man in these conditions. It's kinda like he has x-ray vision or something, he can pass a lot of cars quickly in weather like this.

    It was great to see somebody outside if the usual suspects win. I was shouting for Hand though. He'd have been a bigger shock that SVG last year.

    Questionable decision by Nascar ,not throwing the yellow until the white flag was waved.....

    With many cars running on empty Nascar didn't want a repeat of multiple green/white chequers.

    Good to see Nascar back on the Indy oval

    Yeah, I don't get how the yellow took so long. It was terrible when it wasn't on the oval, not the same race at all.

    its was as if they were wanting to finish the race after the red flag earlier . and out to try and avoid another yelllow flag as it would lead to more . any other time a red would have went up earlier

    it was also good for them that Larrson won at Indy !

    Gabeheart went a bit off course late on to try and win for Dinny , after doing great stuff early ,

    THat was an hideous finish to a race,

    Austin Dillon on the last lap wrecking Logano and then wrecking Hamlin in the next corner has made the 'sport' a joke.

    Elton Sawyer has said that the last lap will be reviewed but i wouldn't hold my breath

    That the #3 team were telling Dillon to wreck Hamlin may lead to a fine but in any other sport outside of WWE this would be a DQ

    Bumper cars is what it was , Hamlins Podcast today will be interesting - Logano and Hamlin are not 2 that you want looking to get you back.

    I missed it last night but just watched the finish now.

    Logano had a slight wobble just before Dillon hit him. I've no problem with that move. The Hamlin one is different, he moves down the track but Hamlin moves up the track as he's going by. Dillon would have had to jam on his brakes to avoid that.

    I don't see any way the result gets changed. I do t really have a problem with it either based on things I've seen even this year.
