Note to self: Lapped traffic is scary and the tires don't like the track tonight.

Stage 2 opens! Sarah Kazuno and Shiki Wakana lead the restart!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Well that got crazy.

Now damaged, Umi Sonoda takes Stage 1 at Bristol!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

For most people, the Regional Series is the race before the Grand Festival Series. But after this Friday, things'll never be the same.

It's Bristol, baby! Things are gonna get wild tonight, and it's Shiki Wakana and Hanayo Koizumi on point to start!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

And that's three for three on rain cancelling qualifying. We'll TRY to get practice in, at least.

You Watanabe will start on pole position tomorrow night, per the metric. Natsumi Onitsuka joins her on the front row.

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

SO!!! We've got some time before the race. Grandfes will (hopefully) be out there before Regional is again, provided the weather plays nice.

Do whatever's needed to prepare, because tonight is gonna be tough!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

We're two-for-two on weather being mean to our qualifying sessions. Again, at least we were able to practice!

By the metric, Shiki Wakana will start on pole position tonight. Hanayo Koizumi will start beside her.

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

...It's about to rain as hell. We may not get this whole thing in.

Practice times!!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Kohane is tonight's winner! She and VividM4id Racing are finally victors after a year and a half of work.

What a weird top 5... McQueen electrifies on debut, Ran shows out, Hime earns RAM their first top 5, and Scarlet gets a T5 after only 3 starts!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Maybe she should've been in the Chase after all!

Kohane Azusawa spoils the postseason party, scoring her first Idol Racing League victory!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

I would not have expected this in the slightest at the beginning of the night.

31 laps remain! Kohane Azusawa and Mejiro McQueen lead the restart!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #ProjectSekai #Umamusume #NASCAR

The yellow flag has been lifted, and the green flag is out again! Good luck, Kohane.

She restarts next to LAYER, who really, REALLY wants to win after the woes of her championship rivals!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #BanGDream #ProjectSekai #NASCAR

A couple non-Chasers are here to spoil the party!

Kohane Azusawa and Ran Mitake lead the restart to open the final stage!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #BanGDream #ProjectSekai #NASCAR

Just as soon as the stage begins, it ends! It's almost like I forgot to post the restart tweet.

Anyway, Chisato Arashi wins Stage 2 at Bristol!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Strategy is all over the place entering the second stage!

Chisato Arashi and LAYER lead the restart on old treads!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #BanGDream #NASCAR

Well, that was fast.

Chisato Arashi wins Stage 1 at Bristol!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Better late than never, yeah?

The Preliminary Series is back, and their Postseason Chase is about to begin! Bristol is tonight's stage... and Kozushima teammates Chisato Arashi and Ren Hazuki will lead the start!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Lineup all set! We at least got practice in before our parade got rained on.

You've got 3 hours to prepare yourself. Once 8 hits, it's time to begin the Preliminary Series Chase!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Well, we tried.

Preliminary Series qualifying has been cancelled due to rain. Chisato Arashi will lead the start tonight.

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Thunder Valley is about to rumble again. It's a full house this weekend for a Thursday-Friday-Saturday special!

Our return trip to Bristol is next!

#LL_IRL #lovelive #NASCAR

Grand Festival Series points after Gateway!

Margarete's lead is cut down even more as You puts herself in the conversation! ...At least on the Chase side, because she still looks fairly untouchable in the full-season standings.

Next up... Thunder Valley!
