Talladega RACE thread

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's keep this about the RACE. I agree that q'ing sucked, but that was yesterday and is
old news. The drivers didn't like and we didn't like it --- enough said.

Let's keep this thread reasonably civilized. If you want to call someone an idiot, moron, stupid,
or worse, do it in a private conversation -- or in The Podium thread. I have better things to do than clean up crap -- like watch
the race and pace the floor til it's over.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

LET'S GO 88 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the board goes down today, enjoy the race everyone

Green

Chad and Jimmie much more amicable on the radio this weekend. I assume some pressure has been lifted, knowing that there's not much they can do but give it their all with this race.

 

[#17D500winner]

I hope Blaney kicks the floor boards out of that #12

[racer8]

88 on the move already.

It really was the only option...

All these drivers dropping to the back for saftey towards the eliminator round. Promoting winning huh?

 

[The Nature Boy]

With all of these drivers dropping back, Dale Jr. isn't THAT far from getting in on points right now.

Wait until about 50 left. The cream will rise on the occasion.

 

[The Nature Boy]

It's going to be kind of difficult to speak out against this strategy when you have the king of it (Dale Jarrett) in the booth.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wait until about 50 left. The cream (who are at risk of not advancing to the eliminator round) will rise on the occasion.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Some of Dale Jr.'s moves are making me incredibly nervous.

McMurray needs to get to pit road to take care of his oil leak before he causes a wreck.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Get used to pack racing. This is what every race will look like next year

 

[#17D500winner]

Some of those in the back said they'd hang out there through the first fuel run.

I'm already pacing the floor.

Saints 10-3 at the half.

 

[Joniki]

Jr walls JJ...

Epic.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Someone is spraying fluids everywhere...

 

[The Nature Boy]

This race desperately needs side by side. These commercials are getting in the way of my racing.

 

[ToyYoda]

Good to see JJ up front.

 

[The Nature Boy]

There's going to be a wreck soon. Everyone is racing like it's the end.

 

[#17D500winner]

Johnson does not want #88 to lead a lap lol

 

[Kiante]

I think Jimmie is pissing Dale off now.

 

[DanicaFreak]

wow look at jr race!

 

[Matthew2470]

The 24 and those guys are ok with remaining 4 secs behind leader but no further back than that.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Keselowsi back in the outside lane towards the lead. Remember last time he was in that position

 

[#17D500winner]

There's going to be a wreck soon. Everyone is racing like it's the end.

I don't know about everyone but a few look ready to start something

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Jimmie and Junior are gonna cause a wreck if they aren't careful!

 

[#17D500winner]

#1 has #4 covered in oil

 

[StandOnIt]

the 2 and the 22 have a plan, the 48 and 88 don't

 

[Matthew2470]

Sad deal that Mike Wallace is in the race yet the 17 is parked.

 

[The Nature Boy]

That oil is going to cause some trouble.

 

[Matthew2470]

the 2 and the 22 have a plan, the 48 and 88 don't

The 22 doesn't need to win. Makes it a lot easier to have a plan, don't you think?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Dale is gonna win this race. He wants it the most.

There's going to be a wreck soon. Everyone is racing like it's the end.

Did somebody say "wreck"?
