DRC - Fantasy NASCAR Xfinity - 2020
No practice
Wet track (some took rain tires)
Cindric and Briscoe on front row - both overdrive turn 1 ► Gragson to the lead
- Cindric takes the lead on the exit of 6 (back onto the oval)
Briscoe misses chicane - stop on track - drops to 14th
Sieg huge lock up on turn 1 chicane - pits for tires = drops to 26th
Lap 2 - Haley an Chastain miss chicane at the same time
Briscoe pits and puts the slicks back on
Haley misses turn 1 on lap 4 (guy once won a road course in a truck series)
Gragson makes a stop and go
AJ - the setup is really far off
Field spread out...8 laps = 10th place car is 30 seconds back!!!
Lap 9… lap turning
Andy Lally in the top 5 - 02 Our Motorsports (Moffitt Car)
Chastain - gears broken (4 to go)
Haley wrecks
AJ pit before the yellow = huge advantage….Car/Truck servicing out of the assigned pit box (1 lap hold)
Week before at Road America - AJ was leading, but he did not pit before the caution, and it cost him the race, this time he pit, but they did not detach the fuel can as he pulled away
Daniel Hemric wrecks on the restart - bug surprise
Stage 2
Cindric pits = restarts 18
Earl Bamford (RCR #21) turns Herbst (was in 2nd)
Noah gragson gets tires on grass, and spins in infield, slides into tire barrier, not a lot of damage = briscoe to the lead
AJ = free pass
Restarts are ugly… when drivers spread out… they take it easy
When they’re close together, they can’t and driving anywhere close to the edge results in spins, wrecks, and overdriving turns. Ugly, this is hardly racing
Burton having wheel hop issues
Bilicki in top 10 spins
4 laps to go, Cindric on Briscoe’s bumper
Cindric crew chief Brian Wilson - “going with a conservative setup because we don’t know this track”
Cindric not pushing it…. Takes the lead clean… then in the chicane Briscoe moves Cindric
Cindric on the radio, “I wasn’t going to beat on him, but if he blocks under brakes again, then I will put him in the tires. That’s the end of it. I talked to him during lunch, and after indy, you do not block under brakes.”
Stage 3
Poor pit stop for Bamber
Cindric and Briscoe restart in traffic
Briscoe inside = space… cindric on outside = not a good spot
AJ - “car just doesn’t have the speed”
AJ saving fuel
Herbst spins ...who hasn't?
Cindric saving his stuff (2nd)
Big damage for Bamber (RCR #21) .. the curbs will destroy your race car
Nearly everyone pits
Front Row = Mike Harmon Mafia, and Snider stays out as well = 3rd on the inside
Brisoe now restarts lane 2 on the outside ...that’s where Cindric had issues at the beginning of the stage, but smarty got through by conceding spots, Briscoe does not play it smart, and crashes
Five cars miss the corner… Don’t blame harmon… the drivers on the outside have overdriven turn 1 every time… the only time it didn’t happen was when Cindric played it safe… remember Roval Cup 18
Pardus turned
Briscoe wrecks
AJ pushed 47 ...he overdrives because he is being pushed, and briscoe follows the 47 off the cliff...AJ and 93 overdrive too
Then Briscoe tries to drive through Herbst, but ends up wrecking himself
Jones inherits the lead
Big wreck on restart = no caution ...mainly nobodies involved
Buford turned by jesse little ...allows AJ to gain back a lot of spots, and harrison burton (both pitted after briscoe wreck)
Cindric easily takes the lead
AJ tries to pass lally and allgaier, but wheel hops and takes allgaier out, AJ keeps it moving, allgaier drops from 3rd to 9th
Cindric wins
Allgaier wants to fight AJ, but AJ doesn't care
