Xfinity Race is live right now at Kentucky
The drivers have started their engines.

FS1 and TSN channels.

They raced here last night too.
Cindric took the checkered flag in that race

Gagson and Cindric are out front again tonight but I have Harrison Burton as my favorite to win this thing :)

BTW, after Jimmie Johnson tested positive for Covid and missed last week's race at Indy, he will be in the #48 come this Sunday at Kentucky.
He tested negative twice this week – on Monday and Tuesday – and was cleared by his physician Tuesday evening in accordance with NASCAR guidelines. The driver never experienced symptoms.
All crew members were tested and all came back negative.

His positive test from last week, does sound like a case of a false positive :eek:

cool, thnx 4me, I missed that one :eek:

The Xfinity race ended with Cendric again taking the Checker Flag at Kentucky.
Two in a row at Kentucky for Cendric.
he never got to do a burn out last night after winning because he had to use that same car tonight, but he sure did his burnout tonight :)
Cendric does this thing he does too when he wins.. the Flag Plant ... he 'plants' the flag into the ground, into the grass.

Then after the race in the pits there was a riot.. Fists were flying, bodies were dropping.
Nascar ain't gonna like that.
There is physical distancing in place, but not much distancing when the guys are street fighting :eek:

Remember the Last Time #19 Started at the Back of the Pack...?!? and of course #42 had been driven by Larson when He had to Start at the Back...! Can Matt pull it out from back there...?!?
