That was before the penalty.Hamlin is now the leader of the rear.

Denny Hamlin (22[SUP]nd[/SUP]) will have to move to the rear of the field after making unapproved adjustments on his car.

I don't care that the odds say no... I say Ross Chastain ... again !

She did look real cute though. Nothing more exciting in autosports (other than finishes) than an F1 launch. Looks like a great track. Larson already has a big lead at Darlington...but way too early.

F1 race is almost half done, and Verstappen has a good lead, on the medium tires, but has to come in to switch soon. What bugs me about F1 is that there isn't much suspense. Verstappen just came in, and has a good lead over the Pole qualifier LeClerc, who had just changed before.

 

[dara]

Joey Logano wins stage 1. Followed by Chastain and Bell. In F1, a single car crash in the back of the field. caused by an open tire bump, 14 laps to go.

 

[dara]

Max Verstappen wins the F1 race over LeClerc, and Sainz. Lewis Hamilton finishes behind his teammate George Russell in 6th.

 

[dara]

Larson out at lap 112. He spun earlier, car must have broke.

 

[dara]

Drivers after Miami GP look absolutely spent... it wasn't just a ride, lol.

 

[dara]

Kyle Busch looks upset after crashing.

 

[dara]

Ross Chastain wins stage 2, followed by Martin Truex and Joey Logano. Might see that watermelon drop again.

 

[dara]

D'oh, jinxed Chastain, spun on his own in the front. This is why I love Darlington... its such a hard track to drive.

 

[dara]

Joey Logano wins followed by Tyler Reddick, and Justin Haley. Logano goes pole to win, and bumped William Byron out of the way.

 

[4me2c]

Congratz to #22 Logano on that Win... To Bad Both Kyle's didn't even Finish, Tuff Breaks @Darlington as Always...!!!
