I am not a fan of restrictor plate races either although I think they are only at Daytona and Talladega?
It is more of a crap shoot with some really good cars getting wiped out through no fault of their own....... it is just pure luck sometimes the way some drivers make it throught the melee and others get caught up in them.
Appears, thankfully, that Newman is going to be OK although I doubt he will be driving for a while. This morning they said his condition was serious but not life threatening.

I updated Mike's pick -- Keslowski for Martin Truex and updated his points.
OK - Now we begin the 3 trade limit for the 2020 Season

Hope everyone noticed that - it is the first time and almost certain to be the last! It had to be dumb luck!

UGH !!! My three drivers were last, next to last, and next to next to last. I bet no one has accomplished that little feat lately. A quick way to fall from the lead.

This is going to be interesting. Four races in 10 days. I imagine the shop boys will go crazy especially if the drivers start wrecking cars.
Great to be back racing.
I hope everyone is healthy!!!
