🏁 Welcome to Bristol Motor Speedway

Welcome to Bristol Motor Speedway. Today we got C.J. McCocklin and Ryan Ellis. Going at it, going to battle. It’s gonna be a fun day. We got practice qualifying and the race coming up.

We got 15 second, five times, 16 seconds, 15 seconds, five times. Fourth gear coming across the start finish line. There’s a weather guard sign that’s like my marker. I dive the car into the corner, let off the gas, flip the throttle, and aim for the yellow line. Bristol recap with Ryan Ellis and CJ McLaughlin is coming to you with all the NASCAR highlights.

Then I crank in a bunch of wheel to stay tight through the turn. It’s fighting all of G-forces. Right in the center of the corner, there’s on the outside, there’s a great call scene that’s like dead center of the corner, right? I’m like working my way back to the gas. I’m also keeping my left front right on the yellow line. The P.J.1 is right down there on the yellow line. So that’s where the traction is. Then I start aiming as we’re coming off the corner. I start aiming, trying to get the car straight and pointed, right? I don’t want to be
pointed up towards the wall.

Mastering Bristol: What 16 Seconds Feels Like Behind the Wheel

I don’t want to point towards the infield. So I’m pointing again towards
the start finish line, go across the start finish line, move down to the next corner. So it’s
straight away for a half a second, corner for three seconds straight away for a half second.
That’s what it feels like anyways, right? It’s 16 seconds, but it feels like you’re on this
way for, and you’re on the gas for like maybe two seconds, but yeah, you’re in the corner,
just digging the whole time.

Garage Talk: Paint Schemes, Pranks, and Personality

Really good. 90% sure it goes with a dark e-letter, it’s just such a fluorescent degree. Maybe we should find out what looks like it, but my daughter is terrified of this guy here.

Laughter, Memories, and Chaos: Behind the Scenes with the Drivers at Bristol Motor Speedway

I pin y’all against each other. What’s happening? I just think it’s funny that you believe it was me trying to smile. It’s also funny that you knew I’d assume it was you. Honestly, I don’t really like you. It’s a bit tricky to explain—I smiled because I found it funny, that’s all. Why do you smile? I don’t know.
I just thought like, did I have allergies? Yeah. It’s like the warmest day of the tree. It’s been about 40 degrees. Actually, warm around home. Yeah, pretty much. It’s still really dry here. Josh, I was a bend in a cup car this week. We miss you. I haven’t been in the cup car yet, so I don’t know.

Qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway Lap Times and Team Updates

We’ve seen the first lap be faster for some. We’ve seen the second lap be faster for some. And so that gets a little confusing when you go to qualify in your laps. I’m thinking, wait a second, it’s not a clear cut decision. What’s going to be the best lap? It means you kind of just have to go with what you feel on that out lap, of what the car has, what is capability, what is it?

It’s going to be a great time to win you and try to react as quick as you can because you’re starting to see that it is possible to go fastest on your first lap. C.J. the slowest of those that have taken time. 14th is where he slots in on the board. And that opening lap is going to be as quick as Kim. DGM. Ryan Ellis jumps from 14th to 11th.
