Cup RACE thread --- Chicago

[DUN24]

Chase sounds less suicidal this week. Silver lining if you ask me!

 

[Michfan]

Good interview by Chase. Glad he doesn't take after many of his fans

 

[lisa]

That's the implication of every mention of Sherry by NBC

Dude, have some respect. She's been through hell.

 

[jws926]

Hmm, Chase wasnt so hard on himself, nice to see that.

 

[DSquad48]

Good interview from Chase

 

[DSquad48]

Dude, have some respect. She's been through hell.

I'm sure she has and I'm happy for her health. Doesn't mean we need to hear about it all the time. IMO.

 

[DUN24]

Chase w the subtle slam to NASCAR for soda can caution

There was a fender sitting in the racing groove at the end of this one. What occurrence you talkin bout?

 

[JBone88]

Chase will win one. It's coming soon.

 

[Kiante]

That's the implication of every mention of Sherry by NBC

I get it, but beating cancer in itself is pretty huge.

I mean its not a matter of life or death.

 

[Michfan]

Dude, have some respect. She's been through hell.

Amen

 

[jws926]

Chase w the subtle slam to NASCAR for soda can caution & blasting #5 team for staying out

Yeah, that was good.

 

[DSquad48]

I get it, but beating cancer in itself is pretty huge.

I mean its not a matter of life or death.

Not contending that. Apologies that my comment sounds harsh. Not downplaying the illness at all. Just don't want to hear about it every time Truex wins. YMMV.

First Career Top-10 for Alex Bowman

 

[Magicmiler]

Let me get at that thesaurus when you're done

No thesaurus. It's the result of Higher education, and the retention factor of said schooling.
Suprised thesaurus was spelled without the aid of Google.

 

[lisa]

I'm sure she has and I'm happy for her health. Doesn't mean we need to hear about it all the time. IMO.

It's their story. If you don't like it, turn off the tv.

 

[Acs]

I mean, when the caution came out and everyone came down pit road, did anyone really expect the 24 crew to keep the spot? The rainbow warriors these guys are not.

This is a team sport, guys, never forget that.

Surprised you can tell whether or not Google was used

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Dont kill the messenger

Take the emotion to NBC who uses her story to fuel headlines for ratings.

Effective? Damn right
Ethical? Debatable

 

[DSquad48]

It's their story. If you don't like it, turn off the tv.

I will keep the TV tuned and claim my right to complain

 

[NasNYG567]

Think Jimmie and Chase switched places given their interviews

 

[Johnny G]

Great Job by Alex Bowman too. Nice to see the 88 up in top 10. He could easily have 3 top 10 in that car by now.

Soooooo cancer helps ratings? Gotcha.

 

[JBone88]

Good interview by Chase. Glad he doesn't take after many of his fans

I like Chase a lot. He has a lot of Dale Jr. in him personality wise. He's gonna break through really soon.

His fans on the other hand are already becoming insufferable.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Higher in 'higher education' does not need to be capitalized.

Irony

It's the downside of him inheriting many of Gordon's fans.

Example?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

No.

Capturing her story & twisting it into NBC's own creates headlines for more clicks. Opinions may vary.

 

[Magicmiler]

Higher in 'higher education' does not need to be capitalized.

Irony

Effective enough to elicit a pithy respone.

 

[lisa]

I'm sure TRL will dislike where this thread went so I'll shut up but I have certainly lost respect for certain posters.

I'm out.

 

[JBone88]

Example?

Not anyone here really. But a lot of Elliott fans on reddit are the biggest bunch of babies.

 

[DUN24]

I'm sure TRL will dislike where this thread went so I'll shut up but I have certainly lost respect for certain posters.

I'm out.

It's a race, not a inspirational talk show. The Sherry Pollex story has been beaten to death.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Effective enough to elicit a pithy respone.

A pithy what? Lol

You're a gold mine.

 

[Kiante]

Great Job by Alex Bowman too. Nice to see the 88 up in top 10. He could easily have 3 top 10 in that car by now.

He does very well on the long runs. He may not be the fastest in terms of One lap, but he can string 10 to 20+ laps together very well. He's extremely consistent, I like that about him. He races clean and brings the car home in one piece.

If HMS does not sign him, I'm certain another team will sign him. Bowman has been doing very well in Cup and Xfinity for Hendrick. Hopes he continues this form in his next races.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Time to quit picking nits, friends.

 

[DaBiff1618]

Hell yeah Truex! Bummed for Chase but it's coming soon. Martin has got to be the favorite for the title at this point, overcame a lot of adversity today.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I was happy for Bowman, also. Gave the car a good run.

 

[DUN24]

Time to quit picking nits, friends.

There you are! Lmao

 

[Magicmiler]

I made a boo boo. Guess I shafted myself. Gold mine, shafted.... See what I did there ? I made fun of myself.for spelling something wrong. Thanks for helping me to be a better person
!
And now, Loudon beckons...

Agreed. Been very impressed with him. Nothing against Gordon at all but I wish he was driving all the races until the end of the season.

 

[Magicmiler]

It will be interesting to see how Bowman fares in his quest for a Win in Loudon.
