hemrick take the outside lane it's time to get 2022 going don't pass until you can cross the finish line yes and the cards that are going to come to the front here they are those who are more organized. It's all about numbers. This is the distance between the front and rear bumpers of the car and the one behind its front bumper. What a beautiful sound. Adam loves it and it takes these guys almost a full turn. Really catch up, yeah, it's going to take a little while for momentum to build and you can already see some cars saying, "I really don't want to be a part of this too soon, so there's going to be a lot." of different strategies that we will see really play out in the first five laps who wants to stay out front and be aggressive who wants to attack, lean in the middle back to keep the car around at the end, It will be interesting to see how much the lead car can control both lanes with this type of car.

We've seen in the past that you can actually get stuck in one lane, let the other lane lift up and come in or on the outside. Be curious to see how that plays out throughout the day. Yes, what so many people don't understand is that the draft really comes from behind. It is not about you. You would think someone was stopping in front of you. Oh, wow, that's going to hit you. the car is an advantage because the air doesn't come in through the front of the car, it's all about the back of the car, whoever can get someone close to the rear bumper is like pushing the nitrous button, well we know you've had a history de He's an aggressive driver, but he's also a very good driver, so I wouldn't doubt that he's going to be someone we're going to talk about, and as you can see here, he knows that the cars below are starting to get tough. vulnerable and you're seeing them, oh, there goes the first accident of the day, the 18th is real bucks, we were talking about a break about how the candy was starting to wear on the tires and these guys were going to start moving and what what.

What we saw there is that the cars below are starting to be vulnerable coming out of the corner, so there are side drafts and then some cars go sideways after that, they closed pit road last time, yeah, so 16 has a couple of options here. on how you can build a run, you can back off the throttle slightly, you can use the brake to go back 11 or what you can do is shadow a little bit to the left or a little bit to the right and create a bigger air pocket for that third place. The car is now approaching his rear bumper and that creates the big race, that's where it starts when Justin falls, that breaks the leaders, that starts to change that momentum, that's when it's going to start going crazy. 16, it was simply too late.

We're trying to lock in that

final

lap here in a second here comes the top you have to go back to the initial stage of the last lap that's brett griffin talking to his driver about what's going to happen here coming out of turn four daniel hamrick out front but they're closing in behind all clear all clear all clear that 16 get a toe there the guy down there isn't going to catch you there's no chance he's going to catch you on the line outside the lane daniel hamrick beats his teammate , that's three consecutive stage

wins

for fellow races, they swept the stages, they won the race here in August, the second yellow flag of the day comes at the end of stage one, where Daniel Hamrick makes it.

Each of these pilots are gaining knowledge of what they can do and, um, they're constantly. Learning and listening, a lot of these guys don't have a lot of experience, so they're learning every lap that they're there and you'll notice that they start to feel, oh, this pocket happens when I'm on This side of the car or that side of the car, all those Things create energy, so we'll do it in the back, here, get some momentum, yeah, so the 11 will back up here, but look, here comes the 39. orion saved by noah gregson hamrick driving is getting a boost from the seed three right in front wow wow all the help at the bottom you're clear the average grade 39 is a good pusher, I think eh, look at Gregson, he's going to fall out of the top 10. he's slipping away, he's not worth the one or two points that he'll get by finishing, you know, ninth or tenth, so he's running away from here, uh, just to save his race car towards the end, it was interesting because you'd even heard that.

Dana Hammock's spotter said, "We're going to do it on the backstretch," but I think what happened is the nine started slowing down trying to keep them from creating that run and the eleven saw a hole that went through. immediate. noah gregson and there's a spinner coming into pit lane i think it's sam mayer's he lost the bumper cover we're green he can pick it up if he does it enthusiastically and he comes to the box here he stops with 45 to go and now he'll have to put tires on that chad do you think this is a little early?

I mean, there have been so many green and white chips at the end of these xfinity races. I mean, they're right about the number. green, but what happens when we have a yellow flag with a couple of laps to go? More green and white chips, then guys will really start looking at that fuel to see if they can make it. They returned after leaders Brett Moffett involved Tommy Joe Martens and several others. He was looking for 11, I think he managed to get through there. That's the bad part about having a problem in the middle of the race or towards the end and I said.

For you, is he going to avoid the accident? No, the tail is torn off the back of the 11. Joey Shane Lee, the flutter, Jeffrey Earnhardt I wouldn't say this is the biggest, but we lost a handful of pretty good cars, including our defending champion, who won stage one in stage two we haven't lost him he'll probably be able to continue but he's banged up and probably won't be able to pull off the win tonight oh man cj mclaughlin just got undrafted there and when he came back up all bets were off , yes, it got loose and when he corrected it it just went in another direction.

That's the thing about mistakes at this track, if it happens early you can usually overcome it because the course isn't really intense. They're not really pushing so that's when you make your moves and can get back to the front but at this point in the race everyone is trying to work towards the front, no one is sitting at the moment riding so that's when accidents tend to happen. occur, is when the intensity increases for everyone towards the end of the race. You know the grass can catch you, but it hasn't rained much here recently. I'm surprised he was so soft and that's what destroyed the front of Brett Moffatt's car.

But I think Tommy Joe Martin in '44 caught it well. Watch him spin out of control but he slides pretty cleanly across the grass and I don't know how bad he did, but he seems to be pretty decent for tommy joe. I see him going to that 44. That's Earnhardt in the 24. And we knew it was going to happen in the later stages of the race, warnings, green warnings, those drivers coming down pit road are doing a very good job starting Control your speed early, stay safe. on pit road everyone, great job once again by the amr safety team and the rhymes on the scene, take care, all the drivers, all the window nets are down and these guys are going to have to take the ride obligatory to the Advent healthcare center. center and that's going to split up that outside group and that's going to give the lead and the advantage to the guys on the inside and watch the guys in the fourth and fifth lane of this two-by-two start shooting down the middle, they're going to go. to try to force there is that outside line, that third lane that you're talking about, still there, they know they can't win seven threes, so they're going to try to get to the middle, the inside line guys have to protect that. the right rear quarter panel from the bottom of three wide, which is no man's land, reaches the bottom of almonds, comes back to the front, slides facing northwest and there the inside lane broke going down the backstretch coming out of a turn four through the tri-oval. and back to the white flag one lap to go sponsored by credit a bank the next flag will end the race the cost of the corrector aj has to manage his gap here he is doing a good job yes, he has to get to the top the top is going to have the biggest energy here 21 is going to come with a big push there are two and three behind him cross that's

21. big crash up and over caution is out that's maya snyder looks like she's moving gaining that down that's a good signal, i think austin hill has this and the leader austin hill, but keep this in mind, we will freeze the field when the yellow flag comes out on the last lap, so nascar will have to review to determine who was leading when the yellow flag came out and We'll do everything we can, every video we have available to make sure who was leading was in 21 or 16.

And it's great to see Maya Snyder getting out of that race car again. These race cars are so safe that you just have to try hard. To Nascar once again for the safety provisions they have just consistently imposed on these race cars. It's good to see him walk away from you.
