per Jayski .... Spire Sports + Entertainment, an agency that has worked with sponsors and drivers, confirms it has bought the Furniture Row Racing charter. It will operate a race team with the number 77. Driver and alliance details TBD.

Well, I know Furniture Row was going to switch to Toyota, I wonder if that is still happening?
I wonder what happened there, just got tired of the grind or something else?

 

[JEBar]

by introducing a system where race-winning teams found in violation of the rule book would be disqualified

Wow, they finally got away from Stage 1 & 2 being the same, about time.
Maybe this year they'll see an improvement.

second red flag for rain ....what we've seen so far is this year's cars = ho-hum single file racing .... Hendrick's cars sure look better this year with the 24 on the inside pole and 88 on the outside pole .... 48 in third and 9 in 4th .... only the first two are locked in

 

[Coss]

After stopping twice for rain, 25 to go and the 21 is leading, the 48 is 2nd.
And rain is on the way again.

 

[Coss]

Well the 48 got tired of following, took out the 21, and a bunch of others
