What did Shannon Spake do wrong that she’s stuck with Larry McReynolds and Michael Waltrip on the desk. I was looking forward to watching – and listening – to her work, but I can’t deal with blathering buffoon one and two. Sigh. Oh well, poor Shannon! At least it’s sunny.

KyBu is leading at the competition caution on lap 25.

Big save by Kyle Busch as Jamie Mc gave him a shove that got him very loose and resulted in some awesome driving as he saved the car and didn’t wreck anyone else though he lost momentum and his place in the field.

Corey LaJoie, Brendan Gaughan and Reed Sorenson are battling as unchartered teams trying to make it into the show. Only one of them will gain a position in the field. Continue reading “2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Race B Daytona”
