"Fox Sports earned a 3.7 rating and 6.3 million viewers for Sunday’s The Real Heroes 400 at Darlington Raceway.

The race was the most-watched non-Daytona race since March 2017."

People are bored, they want to watch something more then past races, past sports, basically anything new is good.
I wonder if Wednesday's race is going to fair as well.

NASCAR officials have moved up the start time for Tuesday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway to 6 p.m. ET because of the potential for inclement weather.

Originally slated for 8 p.m. ET, the Toyota 200 (FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) is scheduled to be the first Xfinity Series race since March after a two-month pause in action due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

6 teams fined for at least one lug nut loose after the race. Is there a pattern there for some reason?

 

[JEBar]

my best guess is a lack of practice .... it will be interesting to see if they have the same issue after tomorrow night's race

We should find out tonight. Infinity 200 miler.

Infinity race rained out, rescheduled for Thur. noon.

Willie, different crews, so your argument doesn't stand up, sorry.
The crews don't usually carry over unless it's a low bucks operation, and there are very few of those any more.
The driver might run the two races, but doubt that crews do.

Rainy weather led to the postponement of Tuesday night’s race in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Darlington Raceway.

The Toyota 200 was scheduled for a 6 p.m. ET start, a time moved up Monday by two hours because of the threat of inclement weather. Persistent rain forced the 147-lap event to move to Thursday at noon ET (FS1, MRN, SiriusXM).
