2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Nine Richmond

Caution on lap 157 for debris.

Caution on lap 195 for debris. Mike Joy mentioned that Reed Sorenson cut down a tire several laps ago and it is apparently the source of the debris. As we’ve now been told, on lap 197, there’s a brake duct on the track that is the source of the debris.

Unfortunately he joins Adam Alexander and Michael Waltrip. FS1 desperately needs to hire quality NASCAR broadcasters. Race Day featured Danielle Trotta wearing an outfit that left her looking like she would be the center of attention and business on any street corner. Next to her was Larry McReynolds who has to be an embarrassment to Alabama, which is saying a lot considering some of the many embarrassments in Alabama, current and historic. When Kenny Wallace is the best the show has to offer – Kenny is fun, but no professional broadcaster/sportscaster – the show is in desperate need of some actual talent to frame Kenny’s fun. Dale Jr is in the field this evening. Continue reading “2016 NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Six Texas”
