NASCAR 2018 Race 2: Atlanta QuikTrip 500 Schedule, Starting Order and Picks

[4me2c]

From the World Wide Web :

"HAMPTON, Ga. – Atlanta Motor Speedway, a track that has dealt with weather issues often, faces another sour forecast for Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race.

Sunday’s forecast calls for an 80% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms. The possibility of rain increases to 90% in the evening hours.

The rain is predicted to start mid-morning.

NASCAR is considering moving the race’s scheduled start time from 2 p.m. (ET) to 1 p.m., a decision that would have to be made no more than 24 hours in advance because of television considerations.

If the race is postponed Sunday, it would be rescheduled Monday. Monday’s forecast calls for morning showers, but sunshine is predicted for the afternoon."...! and Not So ...!

Xfinity race we gots a strategy call that did not work out so well for one guy

With only a few laps to end stage 1, a caution comes out due to a tire skin on the track.
These tires these guys are on were also used during Qualifying. One guy lost a tire already.
Joey 'Roo' Lagano elected to stay out.
Harvick pitted and with 1 lap to go, came from 10th to 1st to blow by Lagano !!

Harvick wins the Xfinity race in the #98 Mustang, dominating from the end of Stage 1 all the way to the Checker.
