@alejandroga07.bsky.social, @spinoex.bsky.social and @oshillex.bsky.social take 2 tires while @troxell.bsky.social, @kensethology.bsky.social and @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social take 4. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on what the correct decision is.

Back racing at The Glen and they're THREE-WIDE OUT OF TURN 1! @spinoex.bsky.social bumps @joogiewatkins.bsky.social out of the groove and into Dmos!

@spinoex.bsky.social has never been afraid of racing rough. @joogiewatkins.bsky.social raced him in Trucks and was his teammate in Cup once, so he knows this and is prepared for it. That's why everyone got out unscathed.

Despite the calamity, that was a great save from @caba06.bsky.social; although not one that @spinoex.bsky.social will appreciate.

GREEN WITH TWO TO GO AND @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social SEIZES HIS SECOND CHANCE! SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH @kensethology.bsky.social FOR THE LEAD AS @spinoex.bsky.social LOSES A TON OF GROUND!

"Everyone's staying out, Avery. Let's do the same."

"Are you sure about this? Can we make it?"

"We are checking."

@spinoex.bsky.social and the rest of the field stay out, not wanting to lose vital track position coming up to the restart.

Yellow and black seems to be the colour scheme for success on tracks like this. @spinoex.bsky.social and @kensethology.bsky.social lead the way nearing halfway, setting times far clear of the rest of the field.

Another driver who's had success here before is the #1 of @oshillex.bsky.social. They won the first ever race here back in S1 of Trucks, and then fought current race leader @spinoex.bsky.social for the win here in S2 (although that attempt didn't go quite so well).

The incredibly long straightaway leading up to the final few corners is a defining part of this venue, but unlike Tormula One, there's no DRS or ERS to make it interesting. @spinoex.bsky.social leads @kensethology.bsky.social and Daniel Mosteller to end lap 1.

It wasn't the start that polesitter @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social wanted, having traded places with former teammate @spinoex.bsky.social in terms of positions gained and lost. Furthermore, he has two very proficient road racers right on his bumper; but this time, he has the car to compete.

What a power play by @spinoex.bsky.social! The S3 Champ has gone from 4th to 1st in just a few corners, and with nothing but clean air ahead, he'll be lethal to bring down now. He's raced and won at this track before, unlike most of the drivers in this field. Could this be the #9' s day?

We're racing at Riverside and @spinoex.bsky.social IMMEDIATELY BRINGS THE FIGHT TO @kensethology.bsky.social AND @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social AS THEY GO THREE-WIDE OUT OF TURN 1!

CARS OUT OF FUEL! @spinoex.bsky.social, @marinerr.bsky.social AND THE #13 ARE OUT OF FUEL AND @spademann.bsky.social AND @talhadev.bsky.social DRIVE STRAIGHT INTO THEM, SCATTERING DEBRIS ALL AROUND!

BUT JUST AS HE'S GAINED IT, HE'S LOST IT! HERE COMES @spinoex.bsky.social's FORMER TEAMMATE @kolbebrown32.bsky.social FOR THE RACE LEAD! THE #22 PUTS THE POWER DOWN AROUND THE OUTSIDE!

Finally, @spinoex.bsky.social leads @noahknight.bsky.social and the rest of the field down pit road. Only @caba06.bsky.social and @inf6701.bsky.social choose to run an extra lap longer. Team Penske's @kolbebrown32.bsky.social is first off pit road, followed by @itsawesome.bsky.social.
