a "weeper?" In all my years as a race fan, I have never heard that term.

Damn weepers.

And Jr had a flat tire and then the crew left a wheel loose when they changed it.

These little girls. NASCAR throws a caution because of a little bit of water that seeped out between the safer barrier.

Remember what happened at the All Star race several years ago because of a little bit of water? Gordon, Harvick, Michael Waltrip and a few others crashed in turn 1. NASCAR let them all go to their backup cars.

Yeah, that 5 minute caution for water in the racing groove was the end of the world wasn't it?

Not watching. Are they talking about water seeping out of cracks and onto the track? If so, that's a fairly common term. But you normally don't see it at Cup specific tracks. It's more common on smaller local circuit tracks that A)Might not be kept up well and are old as shit and/or B)Were once dirt tracks and were paved over.

Proud of Almirola's run. He's come from 30th to 11th.

They said it was water that was trapped between the SAFER barrier and the outside wall and it's seeping out from under the SAFER barrier.

Hendrick might have some crew members to chew out. Gordon and Jr both have to pit with loose wheels.

Never seen that before but when you think about it, I'm surprised that hasn't happened more often at places that get heavy rain.
