I saw one report, just one, from an idiot on the local sports football radio, that said Willy is hurt worse than is being let on and likely won’t return in round one. So, grain of salt and what not until it’s confirmed elsewhere.
There was a time when nothing interrupted viewing a nascar race, except draining and getting a refill. Sadly, those days are long gone and at this juncture I don’t see the hierarchy of nascar fixing that.
