All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of The Tear Down. My name is Jeff Gluck,

and I'm along with my co-worker Jordan Bianchi,

we are most sports writers for the athletic. And today we're here to talk about the Gateway

Marathon that started in terms of like a lapse time from green flag, I guess, to checkered flag.

It was longer than the Coke 600 not you know if you're

counting the red flags of course the Coke 600 was delayed entire day so the Coke 600 though you're

counting the red flag yeah yeah so and then also I had an Xfinity race after it too by the way yeah so

not not quite as long of a day but it's been two long weekends for for NASCAR.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The thing was though, like the Coke 600 made it worthwhile.

Like that was a race worth of investing your time.

And you said, well, this was really good and entertaining.

And you walked away from that going, that was great.

That didn't feel like we talked about that last week. That didn't feel like, we talked about that last week.

It didn't feel like, was it three and a half hours or whatever it was or four hours.

Or, you know, it was like, this is good.

Almost five hours, yeah.

Was it five hours last week?

Didn't feel like it.

Yeah.
