That was more chase having a horrible lap. Tomac was great, but chase fell of his own pace by 4 seconds and then rebounded.
Eli did a 2:01.3 on lap 15

Yeah, and Chase did a 2:05 when he was running 2:02s and ran a 2:01 on the last lap. It was a great ride by Eli no doubt but the difference was chases 2:05.
You're right. Chase had a bad lap which made more of a difference than Eli having a good lap.

Chase posted the fastest lap of the race on Lap 13 (2:01.1) then on lap 15 dropped off to 2:05, then last lap was back to a 2:01 again.

It’s like Tomac only lets his 2015 self out when it’s absolutely needed.

Scary going that fast😂 you could tell he wasn’t comfortable at all the pace he was pushing the way he was looking back.

Chase posted the fastest lap of the race on Lap 13 (2:01.1) then on lap 15 dropped off to 2:05, then last lap was back to a 2:01 again.
Eli had his burner, got by Chase on a smart exchange coming into that right hander and then for whatever reason Chase had his worst lap. Almost like Chase deflated for a few seconds and then reached back down.

My internet went out while Weege was talking about “two.” Who got penalized? I think it was Cooper and Hunter.

They didn’t penalize Craig when he cut 50 ft off a turn and jumped back in front of Dungey so I doubt it.

He needs to push the "beast mode" button at the 15:00 mark instead of 5:00 to go in moto 2

A lot of people who would know said Tomac was going faster than anyone they’d ever seen on the US Nats tracks in 2015. Lap after lap. And then Lakewood happened. It’s like he still can uncork 2015 speed.

It's just crazy that he can still get that fast. Unbeatable when on.
