Charlotte's version of the pitcrew challenge was much more entertaining.

The first race with Cup cars at North Wilkesboro since 1996, and NASCAR has declared a wet weather start for the first of the two heat races tonight.

[Dylan]

Josh Berry and Ty Gibbs finish 1-2 in the All-Star Open and Noah Gragson wins the fan vote. All 3 transfer into the All-Star race.

 

[Blitz24]

Barring a last lap caution, this All Star Race has been pretty bad.

 

[NotThePrez]

Kyle Larson wins the All-Star Race, 23XI takes 2nd and 3rd.

That was...a bit boring, if I'm honest.

 

[Dylan]

Larson stomped the field. No one had anything for him.

Straight-up gave me Max Verstappen vibes for almost the entire race. Objectively impressive, but not super entertaining, unfortunately.

 

[Dolph Drago]

The one race they have always used stages to spice up the race in the past, they don't this year. And we get a snoozer for it. Go figure.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Hopefully the other teams start catching the 5/24 teams soon, because it's getting pretty boring.

 

[yellosnake]

Catching the 24 team? LMAO. He has backed into 3 wins this year. He led only the final 2 laps in each of those cheap wins

 

[Veinz]

So, go back to Alabama? Seems like NASCAR will never shed the red neck image.

That was a pretty boring race, no one was using the apron like Larson was. Can't wait to see him at the Indy 500 next year though.

I'd rather be lucky than fast.

Yeah, about that. Here is the top 10 in laps led this year. And 3 wins still leads the series, no matter how he's grabbed them. I would say @ICEYOU3's sentiments are pretty fair.

And they'll forever have a hard time attracting younger fans if they don't stay on top of this kind of thing.

That was a pretty boring race, no one was using the apron like Larson was. Can't wait to see him at the Indy 500 next year though.

I was actually wondering why the majority of the field wasn't also running on the apron. Seemed like the fastest way around based on Larson's performance.

Good pick up for Haas, who knows maybe he'll be a legend someday.

Weather update for tonight’s Coca Cola 600:

 

[ICEYOU3]

We shall see.

 

[Dylan]

 

[Blood Eagle]

I’m glad they called it early instead of waiting for hours and hours to try to get half the race in.

 

[Veinz]

That sucks, I wanted to finish today off with this one after watching F2, F1 and Indy already. That would have been a personal record!

 

[ICEYOU3]

What's the weather like over the track?

 

[Dylan]

What's the weather like over the track?

Xfinity race starting soon.

 

[Blitz24]

Xfinity race starting soon.

NASCAR yesterday: we won't race in the rain, it's too dangerous.
NASCAR today: Rain? What rain? We're racing!

 

[Dolph Drago]

Rain postponed the Xfinity race after 48 laps. Meanwhile, Carson Hocevar was going around giving impromptu driver interviews for FS1 during the delay. As annoying as weather delays are, it can be fun to see the drivers being themselves and not so serious.

 

[Blitz24]

Legacy Racing with the rare 1-2-3 on the bottom of the pylon.

Legacy Racing with the rare 1-2-3 on the bottom of the pylon.

The 42 and 43 hit debris around the same time and both busted their radiators.

 

[Dylan]

And now rain.
