No practice no qualifying, but there will a grid. He starting order is defined by the results of an online pub quiz, or something.

Pit stops will allow you extra time to thank all your sponsors without losing a place.

I was really hoping they would ditch the segment racing and use Covid as an excuse. But I think part of their allowance to race was changes to slow pit stops, keep team members at a safe distance during the race (not sure how that works outside of the race) and meet required ideas of the state board of health.
I'd be more interested in full tank sprint races with grid reversal or other insanity between them. The draw starting grid and extended pit stops just feel weird. Just run 3 heats instead.

Darlington is one of the few tracks I'm still interested in watching racing so I'll be in front of the TV on Sunday for a bit. Looks like MRN has this one, so maybe a cigar, beer and the old FM on the deck, if it's nice. And if you haven't, try to check them (MRN) out (I know the IMSA experiment was a shatshow, but they cover NASCAR better than anyone covers their sport). If you're fancy, you could potential sync it up with a stream.
And props to broadrun. He called NASCAR being the first back early on. You a win a cookie. Talk to the wife for me and tell her I said bake you your fav cookie.

Its warm today. Deck is shaded and feels okay but the neighbor is running wood through a planer 30 yards from me. Not quite as pleasant as I hoped. I wish i had reasons to plane some wood....

It was too easy, they don't have to travel far, can make the races day trips and well the SE was always going to be leading the way in letting people do whatever. It's just the natural policy of southern states.

This morning on Fox, before the first Bundasliga match back that my son insisted on watching was the 96 Truck series race at Bristol (stumbled into finding the footie game). I forgot how great Bristol was and it made me look forward to tomorrow even more! I'm sure I'll get mad at Kyle and Joey before it's all over and remind myself of why I don't....

Don't know. Doesn't seem to be a whole else out there about it.

Starting line up: https://www.mrn.com/2020/05/14/the-r...ngton-raceway/
Keselowski Starts at the front. Apparently we could have watched him get pole on TV live on FS1!
