Xfinity 500 at Martinsville

[aspeck]

It is half mile racing (.526 miles) on the shortest track of the series! Martinsville Speedway at Ridgeway, Virginia is where tempers will fly and there will be bumping and pushing for the lead as the series comes one step closer to crowning a champion. This race will determine the Championship 4! The race is scheduled to start at 2PM on Sunday and will be broadcast on NBC. The race is 500 laps (263 miles) in length and was first run in 1949! That is older than some of y'all!

NASCAR qualifying is Saturday at 12:45. Xfinity's Dead On Tools 250 will run at 3PM on Saturday with the Xfinity 500 happening at 2PM on Sunday.

Only 2 Sundays left! Make your picks wisely. Jip won last week so the league standings sit as follows:
1 Smokin' 6446
2 Jip 6402
3 FlaCowboy 6325
4 justkiddin 5 6269
5 Vega Kid 6095
6 P10 Select 22 5890
7 Da Rowdy Gambler 5647
8 osby1 5519

I liked the video of Chastain and his crew walking the track after the race and looking at where he was rubbing the wall ...

Chastain had the fastest lap of the day with that move. Was listening to MRN, the announcers spent more time talking about Chastain than the race winner.

Great move, he had nothing to loose. Hamlin has to be so peeved.

Bad Brad was moved to 34th place after post race inspection deemed him too light.

I moved from 3rd to 7th. Don't know how the rest of the league fared.

Smokin’ dropped from 1st to 5th … rough inspection for a lot of people!

Chastain’s new prototype:

I used to install rollout bleachers, like the HS gyms have. Once did a project where the walls were not at right angles and the bleachers would hit one wall and hang up. I ended up installing a wheel much like the picture above which cured the opening issues. That was about 25 years ago.
