    Tracks for Speedweeks have been junk so far.

        East Bay was black in hot laps, pi$$ poor track prep. Usually the early week races are the best because of the moisture. Supposed to rain tomorrow, look for Wed and Thur to be the best racing.

          Overton was going to win tonight, on the outside. That’s what I love most about his driving style. He gave the lead away by trying something no one else thought was possible, and then was going to win the race by seeing what no one else could see. I’ve seen him do this exact same thing on several different one lane tracks down here. He’s awesome. Not all tracks are as bad as they appear. Most of the racing has been pretty good so far, IMO.

            Wanna bet.. It just rained from Saturday night through Sunday morning. Look at the track the next day.

              What was it ? 5 DNFs ? That don't seem much of nothing compared to what you might get in the North in their early season races where the cars are knocking the nose pieces off and breaking suspension parts off at the rate where half the fields cant even finish a 25 lapper. Normally frost break up is the determining factor there.

                  They did a lot of work, but didn't get much results for their efforts. They didn't get enough cut on the bottom to do much.

                    I was surprised to see the track the way it was early on. On to the next night, they'll get it figured out I'm sure.

                      They ran the crate feature and Lucas practice on Sunday afternoon and evening. Anybody with half a brain could tell they did very little track prep for Monday night.

                        Nick Hoffman has a Twitter video from Volusia yesterday, really soft from the rain the ocean side has gotten.

                          I think they were counting on the high tide to help them out, and it didn't. The track has looked really good for the crate and mod races.

                            Volusia got hammered, Tampa got next to nothing. Volusia has also been a mess for a good month now. That video isn't encouraging.

                              Seeing what no one else could see? I seen him push it to hard and stuffed it into the wall but then again, I wear contacts.
