2021-1 NASCAR Cup Series - Round 2: Daytona Road Course

 Live Stream: https://youtu.be/OPdqYlPoVuk

A very unique challenge to the Cup Series, running the Daytona Road Course.  Everyone managed to hang on for the most part, despite the cars handling like buses.

Race 1:

Jamie led the first sprint with pressure from behind but seemed to have things in hand until the last lap when he locked it coming out of the infield and sending it into the tires.

He recovered but couldn't maintain enough speed to stay ahead of Zack who would steal the lead at the last stretch.

Race 2:

A tight battle in the top positions was raging for the second sprint.  With a couple laps left, The Egg took a fearless pass up the inside through turn 1.  Zolecki gave room and came charging right back.  Then, coming out of the West Horseshoe, Egg touched the grass, having to pull up a little to keep control.  But the slowed him just a bit too much with Jamie right there, getting a slight boop and sending him off to the grass.

Tnadz wasn't able to capitalize on the slowup from both, only sneaking past The Egg while Jamie took the win he should have had in Race 1.

Race 3:

The race was filled with excitement as drivers fought each other and their cars to hold on.  Tnadz was knocked around twice in turn 1 by other humans.  First by Zack Webster who redressed and the two carried on, only sacrificing time.  The second came from Mad Max who didn't exactly give the spot back and was merely surprised he could go in as deep to the corner and hit Tnadz.

Smith made up positions as Webster suffered the same issues as his former teammate, nailing the barrier and falling back.

The Egg would also yield a spot, fighting worn tires and damage.


But Tnadz couldn't catch up to Zolecki who was well up the track and slicing through traffic.

On to the 3rd venue and sticking in Florida at Homestead.
