Quicken Loans 400 Weekend Discussion

[SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

I'm not sure the Gateway will start because there is this cell nearby that I think could postpone the event to Sunday. Now I just realized that rain could play a big factor in Michigan with the percentage ranging from 45% to 75% for the schedule start.

After a 2 hour delay Gateway is GREEN

As much as I like Matt Crafton, I want a win for Jones badly.

Why am I even surprised? Erik wrecked again!!!

They just played his radio on TV and he is pist and the battery is dead/out.

 

[Darren Ingram]

For whatever reason, I've just never liked Crafton.

Go Nemechek, or, heck, anyone else to be honest.

As an Erik Jones fan, this season is so frustrating.

 

[4WideRacing]

It's tough seeing things go wrong for Erik towards the end of these races lately. Once he can get it to stop he will be winning like crazy

 

[SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

It feels like what happened to Erik Jones seemed avoidable but I still feel bad. With him out of contention I think Matt Crafton doesn't have too much to worry about when it comes to losing.

Edit: Spoke too soon, I think John Hunter got loose and hit Crafton.

 

[KyleBuschFan18]

Wow, that was unexpected but nice to know Crafton won't win tonight.

 

[The_Dolfan]

What. The. Hell.

 

[Elio Lugaru]

Well. That happened.

 

[jordanvile]

So Custer wins! For whatever reason, because of the whole Jones/Crafton mess, I 100% forgot about him. Congrats to Custer on his 2nd career win. Also, congrats to Spencer Gallagher on what (I believe) was his best career finish.

 

[SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

Congrats to Cole Custer winning a very, "Hard to comprehend what just happened" race (In my opinion) but also seeing Spencer Gallagher finish 2nd was very cool to see.

 

[MillsLayne]

Definitely a mistake on John Hunter's part, but he's still learning and he was running so well, going for the win and went a little too hard into the turn.

Vortex theory save us

 

[AMLNet49]

Good racing early, this is the first time in 6 MIS races that there was not a caution in the first 6 laps. But now we are being red flagged for rain.

 

[SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

So far this race is reminding of the 2006 June race which was shortened because of rain.

Also the last time Fox covered this event before today. Something about DW, Larry and Mike brings rain to the Irish Hills

 

[FloridaFan88]

Why is there a curb on pit road? I've never seen that before.
