james hey what's up guys wanderlust estate made it down from uh the northwest doing my
first nascar thing so we're gonna go back to the rv later and uh be nice
hanging out with the race with a friend get back to you when we get over the pits
all right we're in the long line over to the pit and garage area i love the uh busch light
slide there if you can see on the other side like a little bushlight beer garden with a slide that's
a really good idea i like that also i'm going to be uploading this video with some nomad internet
there's a link below in the video description you want to check it out try to get this video
uploaded tomorrow monday the 28th all right we're in the we're in the pits now guys inside
look here's some used tires uh-huh and they're inflating some tires and checking everything out
in here and getting them all ready i don't know how many sets of tires they get for today's race
they're getting them prepared in here that's awesome and all the wheels
wow normal tire not a normal tire not good wow
that's weird all right we're heading out to the uh front stretch pit area out here so here we
are at one of the pits guys your crew chief sits up here with a little bit of a sun shade and then
uh there's there's the wall where the pit crew jumps over to change out the tires and everything
all right here's uh harvick's pit they haven't uh started undoing anything just yet he's gonna be
running the uh subway car today not his bushlight car here his backup car actually i think actually
i don't know for sure if he went to the backup car they may have fixed the one that happened during
the qualifying wreck there i'm not sure yet what to find out later oh wow so there's the one of the
arms that holds the number 24 that's how they hold it out in the fit and the car knows where to stop
at the pits i didn't know it was that big though that thing's near as tall as i am over there
all right we're up here on the second level of uh behind the pits right now
what we got over here is the garages james and i realized they actually keep their main trucks
out here they don't go to the pits so the trucks stay out here there's autograph alley
a couple one two three indoor garages and pretty soon here they should be rolling those
cars through they're getting their inspections and everything done and i think they're gonna be
rolling them right through here all right well they just opened the fence here for people who
have special backstage garage tickets they don't let the public back into the garage
and uh they're starting to bring the cars out now we got blainey's number 12 there
they're just pushing them and then still bringing in more tires all right sporting my number four
busch light harvick stuff for this race harvick's going with his uh subway car here which is also a
beautiful rig remember he uh crashed and had some issues um he's not in a backup car though they did
repair his car from yesterday and he's gonna start 32nd go harvick oh yeah oh he's got his
cooler full of bush bushlight beer too nice all right well we got a little police escort here
yeah they're waving to us who is it i don't know
here's a denny hamlin coming in right now i'm gonna say he wrecks halfway through
on the other side of where the garage is at this is the front stretch you can you can sit right
here and if you're in one of the suites i don't know how much the suites cost but look at this
view of the front stretch and down in the pits it's awesome something going on over at the finish
line over there let's go see if it's open all right actually get to a walk on the front stretch
a little bit of a grade here uphill that's awesome
oh man that's a patch there in the track let's go head over there's a stage let's go over to the
finish line look at this guys this is the finish line up close and people have signed it is awesome
all right i got a pen go ahead and sign it right here
you know almost five seasons whenever you're leaving you're comfortable
nomadic i think it's fair to say that's a bit of a beginning fanatic number four
gotta lay down on the track we got nomadic fanatic wanderlust sustained all right my bike is late and
went in good night all right we are moments away from firing up those engines james and
i are up here on the roof again uh turn two they made a point to tell all of us to take our flags
down for this race they didn't seem to care for the xfinity last night but no flags because uh
cameraman fox wants a clear shot of the track here like i actually got a better view than you dude
all right let's do it fontana and i also hinted at my last video i won i needed to make sure that i
heard everything right they are once again putting off the remodel of this track it will not happen
this year they want to rethink the whole short track idea which would get rid of all of the
rvs here so we are safe at least another year rv infield campaign that's a good thing i feel like
nascar finally started listening to rvers camping out here within the track but let's get this going
all right guys here we go pace cars out in front
they just started on the front stretch
about to hit turn one right now come our way it's getting louder
oh geez here we go
me
yesterday
kyle bush had drifted back from third to fire
that was the number 18 kyle bush spinning out right here at turn two you couldn't
see my rv in the shot but that was up close and personal first caution lap 15.
i caught the tail end of that spin out by chase elliot that happened
right here he was the race leader here at lap what lapper we had
yeah i'm sure he's got a little damage from the first two times he hit the wall there car messed
up just a little bit trying to make it as long as he could until the caution and unfortunately
became a caution at lap 39 there is 27 to go in the stage and we are at lap 39 of 200 to go both
of those spin outs happen right here on turn two a little different than yesterday everything all
the actions right here on turn two all right uh chase elliot's back out we're gonna go green on
the next time around remember harvick started 32nd harvick is in 21st place right now all he needs is
for everybody to keep doing stupid stuff in front of him and he'll just keep inching up i love it
the question is how is it not because of these three cars big hit by martin truax
but another huge shot by the two and then the five as well i think the two might have missed them
i believe you're right but i think the five hit the two in the left front really hard
that's uh josh bolicki's car that spun out right there right at the end of turn two that was lap
57 of 200 and we are eight laps to go in stage one
all right stage one is complete tyler reddick took stage one and we are at lab 68 of 200.
you know chase elliot got a pass
he did harvick's doing a little better than kyle busch oh yeah this guy
we've been having a friendly little fight here with uh kyle bush and kevin harvick
so kyle butch is going to be out of this one he's at least a couple laps down now that was painful
that was christopher bell everybody takes it
evasive action denny hamlin had already come on to pit road before the caution flag flew that was
christopher bell and denny hamlin involved in that one there slap 92 of 200. a lot of action today
my left retire the other three were up so you say blue and tire and entry i know a lot of
people are trying to get low on air pressure to have good grip at the end of the run
and i possibly got a flat left or a tire and that's what caused him to spin josh belicky will
get one of his three laps that was kyle buscher right here at turn two a lot of action in turn
two he's gonna be able to drive back to the pits and make his repairs he had a rear flat tire
if he can make it
is up to 16th place now at the halfway point of the race not bad
he only got two laps in after that restart brad kuzlowski
ouch but i do know he was in front of kevin harvick so kevin harvick moves up once again
his team getting up on the wall trouble for our later years oh william byron is involved
and now caution waves ninth caution of the day oh no that's the ninth caution reddick has the
has already had the best car out here well yeah the fastest fastest car he's he's a hundred laps
led i bet he just had a blowout they didn't put the caution on and that caused a wreck for william
byron who also has the second fastest car but that's two more top spots getting laid harvick
oh and more oh harvick's through harvey's okay that's the tenth caution we're going
for the record here that was uh kozlowski and harvick just snuck right through
yeah in 10th place that's as high as he's ever been with with 33 laps to go come on kyle's back
in the main lap he's in there he's on there we need the big one to happen nine cars in front
down to the inside everybody it looks like it's going to get through chastain
and but finally having a great day working his way up to sixth place that was uh chastain with
29 to go another caution chase elliot after going a lap down turns it around
and caution waves that was chase elliott with nine to go builds everything a little closer
for the last seven or eight laps harvick's in eighth place now come on hermit so after all
that with what eight to go uh kyle busch just got back on the lead lap he got that free pass
and it'll be five to go when we restart are we going to be able to do this without another
oh chase elliot's back
back out
last lap kyle larson in the lead
on
way to go kyle larson we've got some kyle larson fans over here harvick finished seventh and uh
uh kyle busch amazing comeback made the comeback that's the king right there 14th yeah 14th from uh
four laps back that's not bad really good race a lot of cautions a lot of wrecks lots of spin-outs
good times here what a blast what a great weekend in california special treat heaven uh james stop
by you and check him out on youtube if you haven't already wanderlust estate i'll put a card up top
