After travelling to Florida hoping for warmer weather at the beach – it is warmer than Atlanta, but extremely windy and the wind is chilly. That said – I’m at the Beach, Hooray!!! Tuned in to the race once we were in the hotel room. It was 17 laps from the end of the first stage and appeared to be a typical Texas/typical 2018 race. We went and grabbed a bit to eat. Between traveling and the time change we’re a bit off schedule. Back in the room with 14 laps to go and it’s still looking like a typical 2018/typical Texas race. It doesn’t appear we’ve missed much. You know its tough trying to find NASCAR on the radio while traveling.
Bunny hasn’t gotten Sirius/XM running in her new ride, so we were scanning stations for a while. Eventually we settled on some classic rock and gave up the hunt.
Caution on lap 331 of 334 for an incident between Joey Gase (51) and Daniel Suarez (19) so we’re going into overtime. The stages were 85-85-164.
Harvick (4) and Blaney (12) will restart up front with Kyle Larson (42) and Joey Logano (22) behind them.
Harvick went around Blaney like he was standing still and takes the white flag.
Kevin Harvick runs away from the field to see the checkered flag first.
Maybe this was a race at some point, but everything I saw looked like a parade behind Kevin Harvick. It’s that – and the lack of beach – that convinced me to not take my birthday trip to the Texas race.
