SportsTranscript
00:00 >> The coca-cola 600 is underway.
00:22 So all of them are back on the lead lap now.
00:24 Larry?
00:25 >> Yeah, I think this track is going through a transition.
00:28 You heard regan's report on denny hamlin.
00:30 I'm hearing the same thing out of william byron, ryan blaney.
00:33 Everybody is getting on the free side.
00:36 Remember with this gen 7 car, when the track gains grip, the cars get freer because the
00:40 front gains more grip than the rear tires.
00:43 >> William byron, 24, the new leader over ty gibbs.
00:46 >> All that was taking place and ty gibbs just kind of got out of sequence right there.
00:51 His car doesn't look to be as good as william byron's or justin allgaier's for that fact.
00:56 >> He caught that traffic running side by side.
00:59 He got tight.
01:00 We got one spinning around off turn four.
01:04 >> That car gets straightened out and down to the apron.
01:06 But caution waves for b.j.
01:09 McCloud.
01:12 Driving for carl long.
01:15 Last year mccloud had one of the nascar charters, but he's got a right front down.
01:21 And sold that charter at the end of the season.
01:23 So he is running a limited part-time schedule.
01:26 >> I think he's going to get it.
01:28 >> What fixed him up was that qualifying lap.
01:30 That's 16 feet for the first pit stall.
01:33 The timing light pays off every time you're on pit road.
01:37 Ty gibbs took advantage.
01:40 >> Ty gibbs back to the lead under caution.
01:43 11 to go in stage one.
01:45 Gibbs and byron on the front row as we're back to green.
01:48 >> Good jump on that outside.
01:50 But the teammates, look at the push coming from the outside.
01:54 Good block by reddick.
01:56 >> This is -- it gets really tense from the driver's standpoint.
02:01 Everybody wants to get as many stage points as possible.
02:02 And you've got a really short run.
02:04 So a lot of risk taken right here.
02:08 >> Truex to the bottom.
02:12 In fifth place.
02:13 Three wide.
02:15 Great push off of his teammate bowman.
02:23 >> Back to the point.
02:24 Good teamwork.
02:25 >> William byron has three cup victories this season but no stage win.
02:32 Hendrick gibbs, hendrick at the back of the top ten.
02:36 Here comes byron for his first stage win of the season.
02:40 Ty gibbs, alex bowman, christopher bell, martin truex, the top five ready for the restart.
02:47 The first four cars have about eight green flag laps on their tires.
02:51 The ones behind them are on new rubber.
02:53 Here we go.
03:01 Only three drivers this season rank better than ty gibbs on restarts.
03:05 But how will he do on those older tires?
03:07 >> He's going to have to fend off chastain on that outside.
03:10 You know he's going to be a great pick.
03:12 >> The guy in that ream car, the ream 20 car, christopher bell, you see him shoot down into
03:18 third place.
03:19 He's the guy that made the best ground right off the bat.
03:21 You see denny hamlin in the middle.
03:24 >> Three wide, two rows deep.
03:27 123 laps complete.
03:30 Christopher bell is the new leader.
03:35 On fresher tires.
03:36 He takes advantage of ross chastain here who had led a total of ten laps.
03:42 >> That's what it is.
03:46 Just fresher tires.
03:48 Chastain basically let him go.
03:50 >> Josh, what happened to ryan blaney?
03:51 >> It's been a frustrating day for ryan blaney.
03:52 Never able to get that car where they needed it to be.
03:53 You saw it come in with that heavy damage.
03:54 Just came over the radio and said, yeah, guys, we're done.
03:55 They try and work on the right front of that car.
03:56 >> And here's martin truex.
03:57 >> He's going to be the one to get the lead.
03:58 >> He's going to be the one to get the lead.
03:59 >> He's going to be the one to get the lead.
04:00 >> He's going to be the one to get the lead.
04:01 >> He's going to be the one to get the lead.

10:18 >> Thank you.
10:19 Please remember to fly our flag proudly tomorrow.
10:22 >> Race car is in.
10:25 We're back to green.
10:31 >> Oh, man, you see chase Elliott have a bad corner right there stuck in the middle.
10:48 Here comes that 45 car, Tyler Reddick.
10:52 >> Denny Ty Gibbs lose a couple spots to Denny Hamlin and chase Elliott there.
10:58 You saw it earlier in the race, Clint, when he got in that traffic, he started to lose
11:01 those positions.
11:02 We're seeing the same thing right here.
11:04 He started to lose those positions.
11:06 And hearing that he got into the wall as well.
11:08 >> This might be the reason why.
11:09 You see him out of the gas a long ways.
11:13 I think he's -- yep.
11:15 Just tight in traffic.
11:16 He was way out of the gas and that thing continued to head north all the way into the wall.
11:20 >> Turn two, car in the wall.
11:23 Corey Lajoie.
11:24 And that will put us under caution for the sixth time tonight.
11:40 Harrison Burton will get back on the lead lap.
11:47 As Lajoie, it appeared to be a single car spin.
11:50 Let's have a look here.
11:51 >> I think it came out from underneath of him, Kevin.
11:54 >> When you get into turn one, the car goes over.
11:57 There's a whole bunch of bumps getting in the corner.
11:58 It gets light.
11:59 If you get too much speed or hit those bumps wrong, it will knock the back out from underneath
12:04 the car.
12:05 That's what happened.
12:06 >> Corey did a great job keeping it out of the wall.
12:08 As a matter of fact.
12:10 >> Car is going to be able to put tires on it.
12:14 Survived to see another lap.
12:15 Larry, another set of tires, though.
12:18 >> This could be crazy because they're telling the drivers possible weather about 15 minutes
12:23 out.
12:24 That's going to ramp it up.
12:25 Both hands and feet on the steering wheel.
12:28 >> Both feet now we're putting on the wheel.
12:30 That's a first for me.
12:34 >> Lights are out on the pace car.
12:35 We'll try it again.
12:37 Bell and keselowski.
12:39 Toyota and ford on the front row.
12:44 >> Bell has new people to hold off here.
12:46 Green flag.
12:47 Keselowski, reddick up there in third.
12:59 >> Reddick blocked up on the outside.
13:00 Ty gibbs on the bottom.
13:05 Help all dispersed on that outside.
13:08 Big time deteriorated.
13:10 >> Penny hamlin alone on the bottom.
13:14 Now gibbs down there as well.
13:17 In third.
13:18 >> You see contact right there.
13:27 Gibbs into the fence.
13:28 >> Here comes the crossover into the grass.
13:31 >> Passing the grass, baby.
13:33 How about that?
13:34 >> That was awesome.
13:40 >> See the two monster cars get into one another.
13:43 Reddick come up.
13:44 Got loose.
13:45 Come up into him.
13:46 Look at that.
13:47 >> As he shot through that grass, the dust come flying up.
13:51 Big move for william byron taking advantage of those two getting together.
13:56 >> You get excited up here a lot, but it's rare I hear you flabbergasted like that.
14:02 >> That was awesome.
14:06 >> Look at that.
14:10 >> Not since the days of dale earnhardt have we seen a pass in the grass at charlotte like
14:14 that.
14:15 >> I believe that is kyle larson's golf cart.
14:19 >> I recognize that driving suit.
14:21 There he is.
14:25 Get in position.
14:26 Boy, you couldn't have timed this any better with weather, a caution.
14:33 >> There is kyle and here's the radio from car number five.
14:35 >> The timing of a couple of minutes would have been perfect for kyle to get in right
14:40 here.
14:41 >> I know.
14:42 >> We can't sacrifice the spots of the car by just putting him in if this is just a little
14:48 delay right here.
14:49 If the rain is going to come, which we all think it is, I think we've got to keep you
14:54 out even for a restart right now.
14:55 So we'll have to make that call.
15:03 >> Thank you, jess and allgaier.
15:04 Did a great job.
15:05 Right now we are under a lightning delay for lightning in the area at 249 laps complete
15:14 in the coca-cola 600.
15:16 Our charlotte studio will update you on the other side of this commercial break.
15:21 We're under caution with christopher bell leading brad keselowski and william byron.
15:26 Welcome back to charlotte motor speedway where the track drying efforts, well, they're trying.
15:32 But goodness, we had rain sideways.
15:35 We had thunder and lightning earlier.
15:38 And then that storm system moved through.
15:41 However, what remained was really heavy humidity.
15:47 NASCAR's had jet dryers, they've had their track drying system, the air tightens out
15:50 there and have made little progress.
15:55 So what we're looking at is the possibility of it taking well into the early morning hours
16:00 to get this track dry, get rid of the standing water and make it raceable again.
16:06 So the coca-cola 600 is official.
16:10 Christopher bell is the winner.
16:13 His eighth career win.
16:16 And the thing that really impressed me about his drive was how he would come off turn two
16:21 in that high lane and he would just yard whoever he exited the corner with and on to victory.
