So they’re inverting the heats from qualifying and inverting the feature from the heat finishes based on qualifying times again. Somebody tell eldora that it doesn’t need to be this complicated, it’s adding 0 excitement and a ton of confusion

[Dirt Clod]

Nice job Shiny. I don't know how you watch, type, recap and send. Your updates are spot on. You rock......THANKS!

[WisWildManFan]

Between erb and McDowell being penalized and Bobby/Hudson not being penalized I give up trying to understand it.

[Kryptonite17]

https://twitter.com/FloRacing/status/1435762469243441152?s=20Pause at :02 Bobby is clearly leading the bottom line. Joiner has drifted up far enough to lead the outside line. Not to mention he’s spinning the tires off the car. If Pierce were to stay in line behind Joiner he would’ve needed to go door Gustin to do so and wouldn’t all of 4m have loved that. As far as Terbo, he clearly moved out of line, but he was back in before it ever mattered so that was kind of dumb to penalize him IMO.

[CIRF]

The inconsistent rules enforcement and complexity of the format do no favors for the overall entertainment quality. That said there was some very good racing throughout the two A-main's.

[raburke23]

Points after Wednesday?

[dirtcrazy4u]

Well night 1. Johnny Scott has definitely found a chassis to his liking. 2. Never ever count t-mac out when a crown jewel is on the card, from 9th, impressive. 3. Bloomer timed fast and it seemingly went downhill from there, almost got lapped.

[50Dixon50]

Wow great racing man mccreadie is the man this yr can we say championship
