Was able to catch up to live I guess on the finish lol. Sucks JJ won it like that with the segment stuff but I'm sure they'll change it up again next year. It was cool seeing Rick hitch a ride on the door though.

If i was dale jr i would be pissed as hell, race hard all race and finally win the last segment to get one of the top spots at the end, but wait I have to let 3 drivers with fresh tires by that were sandbagging. pathetic they should have thought this one through some more, but I'm sure it will change again next year so I can complain about something else.

Race totally fucking ruined because of the segment winner thingy, why the hell is the Segment 1 winner getting to pit first? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
that's the way it should be, the guys that win the earlier segments would still have something to race for, maybe just a spot or two, but when you win early there's nothing to gain

Or they could just have the order of the segment winners based on the running order of the final segment. So Segment 4 winner would be 1st, and then they wouldn't have as much sand bagging.

Wow...2nd place just tried to waiting for the leader to lap him to end the race, and lock him into 2nd, and he got plowed hard by a Renault Clio. He won't finish the 24 hour race.

Now the 3rd place car is on the wrong circuit on the last lap, he has to take the Nordschleife.
EDIT: Now he's figured it out.

3 of the top contenders for the Whelen All-American Series Title had problems Friday and Saturday night
1. Nate Monteith's win at Kinsport Speedway Friday night is under protest and Nascar has taken the engine to be tested. Official word on situation will be given monday.
2. Lee Pulliam tried to make it 3 wins in 3 starts at Motor Mile last night but cut a tire on a restart and fell to and finished 8th. Josh Berry was your winner
3. C.E Falk doubled down at Langley but at post race inspection his car was disqualified for an "illegal control arm brushing." Many people calling bs by officials but Greg Edwards was given both wins. This is going to really hurt him for the track championship at Langley but is still looking decently good in points for the WAAS National Title

Im still holding out a little hope that some team will pull a fast one and come out with a new car, but maybe not cause that would kick out Alesi. Alesi has an older Lotus engine than Simona. Simona's engine has about 30 more HP. Alesi only got the updated Lotus engine about 2 hours ago.

So glad it was a Nationwide regular and not Kurt Busch winning at Iowa today! I still don't get the point of having Kurt race there, would had been a perfect day to give a younger driver a chance.
Speaking of younger drivers, great job today by Darrell Wallace Jr.! I know he's gonna be in this sport for a long, long time! He did everything he needed to do and that was learn and complete all the laps.

KBM had Drew Herring practice and qualify the car and did aa great job at JGR last season in his few races, did pretty well at Iowa last season. Should've let him run it the whole race here, or Brian Ickler, who Kyle liked a couple of seasons ago in Trucks

I agree bud! Plus with Ickler, he's raced quite a bit for Kyle Busch (along with many races under the N'wide/trucks level) and Herring was solid and consistent for his Nationwide races last season. I don't know, maybe I'm just not a fan of having these Cup drivers come into the lower series especially when they don't need to.

The ARCA race was great all-around. I fucking loved it. My hometown boy Jared Marks led a few dozen laps. I got to see Milka wreck a few times. Lol.
