Realized I never posted this last night. The last lap from the pits. I was down at the south end so I could grab the non winners for quotes and everyone’s pits outside of Dixon was this direction. The roar of the crowd gives me chills.

Really not understanding why we don’t just try the Cup race at Noon since everything is already set up, then run the NXS race after. Cup stuff already set up. Now they’ll have to tear pix boxes and equipment down only for NXS stuff to be set back up again

Well, schedule change for me. My wife is being induced this morning with our 3rd child so I’ll have to trade the Bricks for the hospital today. Can’t wait to meet the baby (we don’t know whether boy or girl) and if everyone is healthy I’ll be back tomorrow. Enjoy today y’all

Johnson said if he continued INDYCAR in 2023 the plan was always to come back to run some NASCAR races this year too. He says he talked to Jeff Gordon, Hendrick and Justin Marks about it. Once INDYCAR season ended, it allowed this to really take off
