I hope they don't come back to Gateway next year.

On a separate note, only one more race with the Fox Crew before we finally get a better product with NBC.

I really dig that FOX does the Crank It Up! You just turn the volume up to eleven, the commentators shut up so there's nothing but the sounds of the cars, and you get turned up for what!
NBC doesn't do that…

Excited to watch the GWC of a 2 car battle in 7 hours once all the other cars take themselves out

Headed to the race today for our first Nascar race. Taking my wife and son. Attending the Fan Walk before the race also. Hopefully the weather predictions hold off.

Fan-****ing-tactic. The one Optimum channel that doesn't work is the one the race is one. **** those *******s.

The NBC boys are still dusting off the rust so you're not missing an amazing broadcast... Though I do already enjoy it more than Fox.

I've enjoyed this race. The top guys have stayed close together and made passes in between short and long runs. Night time seems to have given Chastain the edge

JUST IN: NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson's mother-in-law Terry shoots her husband and grandson, 11, dead before turning gun on herselfhttps://t.co/vMHBc4nR0A

Devastating news for Jimmie and his family.

I CANNOT imagine a scenario (outside of mental illness), that would possess a Grandparent to take the life of her grandson. I'm sick to my stomach.
Prayers going up for the family.

Apparently she has survived so far. They lost a son 9 years ago in a sky diving accident, so I'm sure there was a lot of mental health red flags, but what a sad tragedy.

Made it to the Xfinity race yesterday for a bit before the stoppage. Here with the family on the way to our Michigan vacation next week.
Incredible setup here just feel so sorry for the staff and planners, and the thousands of young people who came here just for the Chainsmokers concert last night.
Talked to a NASCAR staffer at the hotel bar last night. The postponement was all city of Chicago and not NASCAR. Some weird rule with lightning and city parks.
Either way, was pretty cool to attend.

Still raining. NASCAR still working on standing water in areas of the track.

—Xfinity race needs two laps to be official. Would they run those under yellow and call it? I don’t know.
—No update on concert schedule
—Cup green scheduled for 5:05p ET.
—can race Mon but not Tue pic.twitter.com/TCAnrPUkU5

Absolute disaster for NASCAR and Chicago. Watching practice and qualifying yesterday showed so much promise for a successful weekend, feel bad for everyone that worked so hard to get this set up.
4:08p, 7/2/23
They can race Monday! NWS issued a flash flood warning so I doubt they'll stay in "holding pattern" for long. They'll call it soon.
4:27p, 7/2/23
Yeah not racing today
There has been a steady stream of drivers walking back to their haulers. They obviously are saying they can’t race in these conditions.
