I feel like they threw the yellow because Ky. Busch, Keselowski and Cindric caught fire

I wasn't putting the full blame on BK. I know Joey tried to block him. But those 2 tend to wreck each other a lot. They act more like enemies than teammates. If they would stop being so self-centered, they'd both win a lot more races. Thinking only about yourself instead of the entire team creates friction b/t teammates. And they create a habit of racing each other harder than they should by trying to always one-up the other one. You don't see Blaney racing them like that. He's always trying to help them when he's behind them, not trying to find his chance to get in front of them just because he can.
I was fine with the single-file racing to get the laps in quicker due to the time of night. Plus, it's exciting to keep wondering who jumps out of line first and who follows them. I miss the tandem racing. NASCAR hated it, but I thought it led to the best racing. It also showed great skill by the drivers to be able to lock their bumper to the car in front of them and stay there for a while. It also led to some great finishes of 3-4 pairs of cars trying to cross the line first.
I can't wait to see the road course race this weekend. With practice and qualifying there this year, it should be a pretty good race.

No practise or qualifing this week, cause they were there last year. Just at new track and superspeedways. I hope Truex has dame car cause he was loghts out fast at clash and if he didnt get into the mud I don't think anyone eould have caught him.

You are right about practice and qualifying for this weekend. I was thinking it was all road courses this year. They didn't get much of that last year at the Daytona OR Indy RC's even though it was the 1st time the Cup Series was on them. They will have practice for the Dirt Race in Bristol and the season-ender at Phoenix though! Unless NASCAR is just changing crap on the fly, I thought ALL road courses were getting at least a practice session. "New Tracks" does not include Watkins Glen or Sonoma but I heard they would get practice on those as well.

I thought the race was pretty good, definitely better than the truck race to me
And Christopher Bell won his cup first race which was pretty exciting, same for Ty Gibbs in Xfinity

A Yellow for Rain, ridiculous.....
Only slightly less than all those drivers that pitted with just a dozen laps to go.....

I thought race was great as well, And I don't remember 2 drivers winning the first 2 races in my lifetime. Just before the rain Caution I had all 8 of my drivers in the top 15, Then all hell broke loose and I think I had a few in the late 20's. Oh well that's racing. On to Homestead

They didn't have much of a choice on th rain caution, They had to give teams the option. But with 12 to go . You have to pit. Can't believe Joey stayed up as far as he did. Well everyone else overdriving helped allot.

Every team had the option to stop, if they wanted to put on wet tires....
Caution wasn't needed....
Late cautions have become a staple the last couple decades,
many not needed at all....
