Xfinity Series race at Dover going on now.

 

[Stellar]

Sam Mayer won stage one, went to pits and the pit crew it looks like didn't put a tire on well considering he lost it quickly after going back on track. Luckily it was under caution. That sucks for Mayer though.

Looks like Berry got this unless a caution comes out.

Josh Berry wins the Xfinity Race at Dover!!!

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Nice!! Hell yeah

Awesome possum on the Berry win. When I think of Dover I think of Carl Edwards. For awhile he had the nickname of "Concrete Carl" because he was consistently good on that surface. That was earlier in his NASCAR career though. I wish that he would be in the booth to commentate on a race in the cup series this year.

I hate to say it, but Hamlin's looking good out there in today's race.

 

[Doom]

Damn.

Still a rain delay at Dover.

 

[Stellar]

So, based on the radar it is looking like the rain could go on until about an hour before it gets dark there. They are probably hopeful that the rain will somehow end sooner to get the race at least halfway done today. Dover doesn't have lights. So it is possible that this race will get moved to tomorrow.

 

[Stellar]

Postponed until 11am central Tomorrow.

Postponed until 11am central Tomorrow.

Well that sucks.

 

[Swerve]

That sucks in a way but I'll have something to watch.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

CHASE!!!!!

Amazing throwbacks from Trackhouse

NASCAR issues penalties to JGR No. 11, Kaulig No. 16 teams for lost wheels at Dover​

NASCAR

NASCAR officials penalized two Cup Series teams Tuesday for lost wheels during last weekend’s event at Dover Motor Speedway.

The No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team for driver Denny Hamlin and the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet team of AJ Allmendinger were each issued penalties for violating Section 10.5.2.6 of the NASCAR Rule Book, which specifies the separation of an improperly installed wheel. Because of the safety violations during the DuraMAX Drydene 400, four-race suspensions were issued to each of the following crew members:

• No. 11 team: Crew chief Chris Gabehart, jackman Derrell Edwards, front-tire changer Blake Houston
• No. 16 team: Crew chief Matt Swiderski, front-tire changer Keiston France, jackman Jonathan Willard

In the Xfinity Series, two wheel-related penalties were handed out after Dover. The JR Motorsports No. 1 Chevrolet team for driver Sam Mayer was hit with four-race suspensions to three crew members for the loss of a wheel during Saturday’s 200-miler. Crew chief Taylor Moyer and crew members Orane Ossowski (rear changer) and Markus Pierce-Brewster (jack) were suspended for the next four events.

Additionally, the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet team on the Xfinity side was fined for having one unsecured lug nut in a post-race check. Crew chief Bruce Schlicker was fined $5,000.

NASCAR officials also announced an indefinite suspension to Jason Houghtaling, the result of a behavioral penalty under Sections 4.4.e of the Rule Book (NASCAR Member Code of Conduct). Houghtaling had been listed as the crew chief of Jesse Iwuji Motorsports’ No. 34 entry on team rosters for the first eight races of the season.
