I've been flipping between it an the PS4. What happened to the #20? Just saw he was two laps down and we're only 30 laps in. Was hoping for a better run from Erik.

Someone at the front of the field slowed down and the chain reaction happened when Chase Elliott bumped Labonte. Erik Jones got knocked into the outside wall because of it.
 
I'm spending more time watching the live stream of Lights Out 7 (major drag racing event) and only looking at the tv when I hear a keyword for an incident.

That's what caused them to change the rule on racing back to the line. That's also why the top lapped car gets a lap back, to make things even. TBH, a lapped car should only have the opportunity to get it's lap back if the car is within 2-3 seconds of the leader at the time of caution.

That's also why I brought it up. People seem to forget why it was implemented in the first place. Jarrett's incident could have been an absolute disaster if someone spun racing back (never mind the fact he could have been pile driven multiple times prior).

Go figure. :grumpy:

Isn't he slatted for a few Cup races this year or something? Thought I heard they were doing something with JGR to get him some seat time with another team, kinda like Chase did last year?

As @GTPorsche said regarding the issue, "All or nothing". I remember that moment as well, and it's a clear reason why racing back to the flag is dangerous, therefore, the nothing choice is right (especially with stupid drivers).

They'd have to put him in a car through another team. With the new charter system, teams can no longer run a 5th car for rookie drivers.

Well, they do have a new partner team this year that is looking to expand.💡

I wonder how Erik likes Colorado.:lol:
 
So how's the race? Since I'm not watching any of races as I promised, what is happening?

It was really good in the beginning, now it's a typical kill the clock until the end kind of Daytona race

The start was intense, three cautions for:

1. Bobby Gerhart, Ryan Preece and Joey Gase getting together.
2. Bobby Labonte and Erik Jones made contact, Brandon Jones, Jeb Burton and Brennan Poole involved.
3. Martin Roy hit the wall in turn 1.

It's single fie so far with Kasey Kahne in the lead.

Holy crap Fox.. please stop cutting to camera views that are obscured by everything in the middle of the track. :banghead:

I remember the days when fox used to have a good directing team... but that was a long time ago. Now we have mid accident camera switches, distracted camera operators, etc.
 
Sorry another question? Whens Daytona 500 green in GMT? Out tomorrow so may miss start.

Fox pre-race starts at 12 EST, then add about 15 to 30 minutes after that for opening ceremonies, so from about 1:15 to 1:45 EST or 06:15 to 06:45.

Edit: ninja'd.
