Thank you, Prime, for have a black man on your crew doing interviews with the drivers. First time I think I’ve seen that and I’ve been watching since I was kid watching Cale Yarborough races with my Dad 🥹

Elliot’s second lap put him in 3rd slot so that’s good.

Fascinated that Ford is now racing Mustangs. I am by no means an expert on cars, but always thought they were a heavier car, if that makes any sense.

Elliott had to abort his first lap. Boo 👻 He should have time to do a second.

Reddick and Wallace are 1 and 2 now. Track is getting hotter in Austin 🔥

Never heard of Hocevar, but he just knocked Suarez off the pole. Still quite a few cars out there - including Chase Elliott.

Group 1 done. Group 2 coming up. I know most of the drivers on this list.

So far I’m only recognizing about half the names on the screen 😬 But I knew when Suarez hit the road track he was going to school everyone. And I was right 😆 His 99 was the only one who really knew how to take the corners.

Haven’t watched @nascar.com in a hot minute, but @dalejr.bsky.social has a car in the cup series and that’s brought me back. So hello to my Bluesky account that I’ve never really used 👋🏻 Let’s watch some qualifying at Austin’s COTA track that I’ve never heard of!

Porch sittin’ under the new awning/sail-type thingy Brady put up to save us from the blistering Georgia sun ☀️ so we can enjoy coffee ☕️ outside in the morning a little longer before the humidity makes it insufferable 🥵

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3…
