I'm trying not to say much about it.

What a race Duel #1 was. Now it's time for Duel #2.

 

[Stellar]

I've been watching the duels... just been keeping quiet here.

 

[Stellar]

Seeing SVG in the 88 after that used to be Dale Jrs number really is cool.

I wonder if it feels weird for Custer. Back in the 41 in the cup series but no teammates.

 

[Wolverine]

Oh wow. What a crazy duel #2 was at the end.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Ugh. I'll share my thoughts when everyone has seen it.

 

[Stellar]

Best moment was Dale Jr. jumping in the 40 and winning the first duel!

I joke.. would have been cool if he was in this though.

Both duels were interesting. Interesting of the different strategies. Especially from a certain couple of drivers. One very competitive, the other not.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

I keep hoping eventually Dale will take JRM full time in the Cup Series....every year I tell myself why it'll happen....and then I let myself be disappointed lol

 

[OsBlaze]

So happy Bubba won his duel!!!

Erik should’ve won his, dumb to throw that yellow. Good thing it doesn’t change much cause he still 4th either way Sunday. But still dumb to throw it lol.

Yeah I feel bad for Erik. Was cool to see 2 LMC cars up at the front during that second duel and then Erik nearly winning... Come on NASCAR. Not a good way to start the season regardless of what impact it has.

Happy for Bubba. It's at least a good booster when winning a duel.

Surprised at how competitive Cindric was. It didn't take Briscoe long to fall to the back and ride around before parking but Cindric stayed at it and then winning... We basically got two opposite strategies from the 2 drivers who were already locked in on 1 and 2 for Daytona.

I just think that the caution coming out was our first example of NASCAR manipulating races. They were 150 feet from the line, so I don't buy Harvick's "It was for the drivers' safety" thing. Those guys were going 188+ and were that close to the line. None of the guys behind the crash had time to slow down enough to make it any safer for anyone.

Truck qualifying just started for anyone interested.

The funny thing is, Harvick has his one and only Daytona 500 win, because of NASCAR not throwing the caution. So I bet in that case he’s glad they didn’t, because if they did Mark Martin would have one, and Harvick wouldn’t.

Like it’s at least good this happened in the duels where all Jones misses out on is the trophy and bragging rights, as he’s 4th either way on Sunday but like still, they were RIGHT THERE coming to the finish. No need to throw it.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Dude, can you imagine if Harvick had been in Jones' seat as a driver? He'd have went after everyone associated with NASCAR lol. He took the company line because he's in the booth now.
