Shame for blaney and truex, I don't think either have back ups.

Glad everyone's ok, but that was the most entertaining practice I've ever seen.

 

[Furinkazen]

Better link.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Is the next practice still pack racing? Or are they going to do single car runs again?

 

[BKGlover]

Don't be surprised if they do single car runs.

Just read that Ganassi is gonna have two main schemes this season. The red one we've seen, the other is an inverted white scheme, something I'm fond of for some bizarre reason.

There were rumors over the winter that they might put him in the road course races in Cup and/or Nationwide this season, depending on how the IndyCar schedule matched up.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Decent pack.

85min left of practice,

So glad Kligerman's flip was so mild compared what it could have been. Especially after he got so close to the fence, reminiscent of Geoff Bodine's truck crash in 2000 and Kyle Larson's crash last year. It took about half the length of the tri-oval for him to go over though, but better than a much bigger flip.

He was probably scared out of his mind.

In other news:
According to FS1, Blaney is "scrambling" for a car? He's not out yet? You don't think a big name team would give them a backup?

Blaney needs to be in the Daytona 500. After all, he led the damn thing for two hours two years ago while an explosion was being put out!

 

[Furinkazen]

He's also pretty competent at plate racing.

 

[Johnny1996]

Before with him, I was "meh" but after seeing him and brother Dale race at my local dirt oval in a sprint car race, I'm a huge fan.

 

[nascarfan1400]

And he's one of the nicest guys you'll find in the garage.

Blaney deserves a ride, and a win this year.

What do you guys predict for the Duels?

 

[Jahgee]

What do you guys predict for the Duels?

Junior wins Duel 1
Hamlin wins Duel 2

 

[Johnny1996]

What do you guys predict for the Duels?

First taste of the new group quals format, some airborne crash at the least, the big one, and among all that, preferably a photo finish or a win by Dale Jr. I actually have a diecast Dale Jr. car from 2008 when he won the one duel, complete with a car cover.

Bob Pockrass tweeted that the 77 team has already packed up the car hauler, and that they have no car for the Duels tomorrow or the 500 on Sunday.

 

[Ganon83]

77- Blaney has officially pulled out, hauling the car on home
Edit: darn it, beaten by Ryan

 

[nascarfan1400]

Shame.

 

[Ganon83]

wtg Kenseth.
Also, Flappy Gordan would be the most realistic NASCAR game put out in the last 10 years if instead of two cups on the 5th gate, a giant 48 blocks the screen and makes sure you never get past 4.

 

[Jahgee]

Just like real life

Talking of 2001, I have actually watched every race of that season, and would gladly recommend that to any other old NASCAR fans as well. 👍 It gets better when you don't know anything too specific about the outcomes of the races.
