lap 1 at the Brickyard [Music] [Music] [Applause] Tyler reic in the 45 surging ahead of the 11 of Denny Hamlin [Music] the draft will be important we see some getting out of line some getting in line terrific look at Chris gabart as he's Green flag stops start at Indy watching his driver calling him into the pit St with any hin who said his car just got way too tight the longer they ran and a moment ago Billy Scott told Tyler reick his driver who's LED every lap to this point we're about 15 laps in hitting that would be eight laps from now see what do you think about this call by Chris gabart well I think it's going to bring a lot of guys in because at this point right now you've burned the exact amount of fuel that matches the amount of time for four tires so as we see Chase Elliot lson when the tires are done the Jack drops the car leaves you don't have to wait on gas if you ran longer you would have longer pit stops Marty because the fuel required to fill your car up Chase Elliot penalty on Pit Chase Elliott penalty 1 Road yeah blend lined infraction Steve tell us what was going on there why he got that infraction so it's interesting because you have to use the warm-up Lanes to turn one and turn two which I think Chase Elliot did the argument might be that he actually entered the racetrack itself once you get to that second white line if we back that up one more time between the two corners there's two white lines on the racetrack one is kind of the top of the access road the other one is the apron of the racetrack Marty well Steve this team has been Flawless on Pit Road for a long time they got a speeding penalty for the first time in 90 plus races last week and this is what Alan gusterson wants clarification on Steve right here he wants to know was it when we came up in the center of the corner and right now they're telling him it was in turn two that's where your blend line penalty came from but Allen gson still wants to talk to officials to understand why that happened we see the 11 on this the final Denny Hamlin wins Stage 1 at Indy lap of stage one and the Gap has closed now here comes lson in the five a playoff point on the line if you win the stage and great entry through the turn four turn for Denny Hamlin and he'll come to the green and white Checkered Flag Denny Hamlin is going to win stage one at the Brickyard Denny's first stage win here at Indie and his six stage win already of 2024 2 1 going to be green green Start of Stage 2- lap 56 Green here all two by two still all two by two down there 84 middle middle of three middle of three clear up one inside still lined up inside with a nine he's at your quarter push the 10 if you can there's a gap on the front Lin up bottom two by two here just watch this three wide ahead inside still cover Yellow flag flies for Cody Ware- Bubba Wallace blocks Joey Logano and the caution has come out we saw the 15 and it looked as though Cody wear had a tire going down sure enough the carcass is now off of that car another flat left rear we've heard the 17 has had a couple of these this is another Ford and then the actual tread of the tire finally comes off putting debris everywhere this is something we've seen IND before we've seen wear issues here but we've also seen left side Tires Lower air gains more speed but you can get too low and we seen blocking at this RAC trck in every former racing and right here Joey Lano got blocked big time by Bubba Wallace and that almost got big right along with Joey well it's good thing he lifted yeah but good thing he came out of the gas it was going to get [Music] ugly bet Joey had some words that's the only chance he gets that bull right there copy that back in your Rhythm as they come back to the green Restart- Lap 74- massive wreck in the back of the field flag and we're back underway see Chase Elliot got out of line there in that third line as Kyle bus Steve you said the goal was to get out in front and go as hard as you can until you have to come to Pit Road we heard Danny Hamlin no I'm sorry Chase ell in his interview said well you just want to be the front of your strategy oh man big wreck oh and hit again oh that's a 24 of William Byron AJ aldinger and the 16 involved as well Replay of the William Byron wreck here's how it happened oh somebody got into the right rear of looked like the 22 potentially of legano behind him it looked like there was two cars side or two cars or three cars three wi let's take a look right here you see oh you're going to see it right here the 21 41 and 24 so the 41 if we back that up and watch that one more time the 41 is trying to get three wide between the 21 and the 24 trying to make it three wide I don't believe Harrison Burton or William Byron knew that they were three wide this will be a great look right here oh they're hitting each other there so he's in his right rear quarter panel you're right it was just every yeah all three cars here you go here's a great shot of it Steve so right stop it right there stop it right there so the four the 14 car he's they're touching those two cars the 24 and the 14 they're hitting each other there and still contact and here comes the 41 and they make he makes contact it's just those three cars trying to go in the same spot but it started with the 14 of Brisco and and Byron making Restart lap 78 cont bubble Wallace in the 23 on the inside and it's the nine of Chase Elliot that's actually on that outside of Row one and back up through the gears they go as they go two by two down the front stretch and into turn one good run by the nine of Elliot as he goes into turn two but Wallace surging back on that narrower line now a drag race down the backstretch as they get ready for turn three big run out of the 11 of Denny [Music] Bubba Wallace wins Stage 2 Hamlin at the end of this regular season it's going to be gloves off it's going to be fun for all of us it's not going to be for these guys it's going to be pressure fi and again Bubba Wallace will get a playoff point for winning the stage but more more importantly if he doesn't go on to win the race he gets 10 stage points and with him being in the position he was in below that cut line those are very important Bubba Wallace is going to win stage two here at Indianapolis two by two and the final Start of Stage 3, lap 105. Truex Jr. and Berry wreck stage is underway of the Brickyard 400 great restart for Denny Hamlin and here comes the 47 Ricky stouse Jr and if Denny's worried about fuel when does he start saving right now well I think you need to run a couple laps and let everything get strung out and see who you're racing with because you're concerned about these guys in the back you see the seven the 77 teammates from Spire side by side at the bottom Joey Lano pops down there I think as well as blay that's the idea so if you're good on fuel all saw Smoke on the 19 the 19 into the wall it looked like the left rear tire went down contact with lson oh and another wreck behind him the four Josh Barry gets into the wall yeah see watch down the back straightway it's they're all contesting this spot lson trying to make a move here contact and then right here that puts him three wide Chastain tries to roll behind them and the contact's there with Larson I don't know I think the one car all the way back that hit him on the straightaway I believe the 19 now has a tire going down unless that's the contact with the five I don't know cuz there was contact with the one earlier yeah I I don't I don't I think that this wreck is because of the contact with the five it's never good when we have to dissect which contact caused the wreck yeah see he's in there and he's got good Pace he's able to keep keep pace and then there's contact here right there is contact and that gets him up the racetrack yep and now he's along for the ride I'm not sure tires down yeah so he said the one car so I was I was looking at Chastain but I'm with you Jeff right that contact we saw is with the five then the four kind of gets turned around Chase Brisco making up row Restart lap 110- Denny Hamlin leads -
