Love that they’re racing at COTA, but their rain racing protocols need a LOT of work.

NASCAR should keep COTA in their calendar next year. I can see this track beeing compatible to next gens

Man McDowell was awesome in this race. Even got another top ten with a damaged car.

Great race in the rain finally a nice road circuit where the continuous change of direction and braking sensitivity makes the difference this is driving .... Beautiful thank you

[matthewturner]

These 'extended' highlights need to be at least twice as long🙄

[starskiwi]

Surely they should have rain/brake/headlights if y'all gonna race in the rain like this.

Words describing Truex Jr. And Custers wreck. "OH MY GOD."

Hendrick is killing it this year! Absolutely loving it

[Vulcan]

I like how the highlights don't show how bad it was raining when they threw the caution flag at the very end to stop for the weather. They just hide that altogether lol.

Early in the race: I’m fine I’m holding the water nascar don’t call the caution Later in the race: call the caution and dry me

You guys need to do something more for these guys out there in that rain. I don't care if the red light is supposed to be blinking bright enough. Clearly if they are rear ending each other that quickly, it's not. Put some real wipers on that windshield and give us some mud flaps on the back to keep some of the back spray and "rooster tail" at a minimum

This was a really exciting race along with the trucks and Xfinity series. I look forward for the rest of the this season.

[danielclark]

awesome race, but the rain protocols obviously need some serious work

[azapro]

Thought NASCAR should go to COTA, wasn't disappointed.

[thehunterstruck]

I enjoy COTA and was excited as hell for this race but I hope the next race doesn’t have rain.

[iraqilemonade]

Awesome unique race. Wish it could have continued later

Rain Racing = Good
NASCAR rain racing = needs some work

I think with some fixes in places (I.e. a brighter rain light(s?) moved to the exterior of the car somewhere, F1 style caution light panels, extreme wet tyres and a mud flap like thing (idk lol) and others) NASCAR could have hit the jackpot with this 😁

This looks like me, when I drive around in Liberty city in the rain. 🗽 🏙️ 🌆

That’s Austin for you rains at the most inconvenient times. Saw the usgp in 2015 and it rained all day the day before and most of the morning, so they ran the wets and intermediate tyres until late race where most took soft or medium compound tyres.

Chase gets a phantom caution at the Daytona road course ftl, social media loses it.
Chase gets a rain caution at the COTA ftw, social media loses it.
