Xfinity RACE thread -- Mid-Ohio

[blanston]

this is the best xfinity race all year

If that's the case, it's a sad commentary on the quality of the previous races this year.

Maybe NASCAR should establish an own rallycross series in 2017.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

21 cars on the lead lap, 34 still running. Whodathunk?

Or proof that race fans want to see wrecking.

Like I said earlier, I wouldn't want it every weekend, but it sure is entertaining.

Whoever wins this will definitely have earned it. I just hope they can pull this off in less than 4 OTs.

 

[dirtguru]

This will be an interesting restart.

 

[kkfan91]

What shape do you think the race tracks in?
Bad

 

[Brent]

May be pouring down rain once we get the restart. Marks appears to be the best in the rain, so he should be able to pull it off but who knows what will happen behind him.

I was exaggerating but truthfully this race has been really interesting to me and is keeping me watching, still no clue on who can win.

To be fair, the XFINITY Series does suck. Worst professional racing series in the world.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Lights are off!

Yep. I agree.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I'm blind right now --- heavy rain has knocked out my satellite.
But let it rain --- first in 2 months.

 

[Bucky Badger]

Marks did a great job

 

[blanston]

First time winner. Woohoo!

 

[*WEAVER*]

Nice job of driving by Marks, or Rain Man.

 

[slash14]

that was some race....my goodness

 

[Bowtie3]

That was fun for me, can't speak for everyone.

Ty Dillon ran a great race. Congrats to Marks.

It's the Xfinity Series. I'd imagine most races are pretty terrible.

 

[Michfan]

Marks was so smooth

 

[donthaveanickname]

Did anything important happen in the last 2 laps?
My livestream broke down.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Marks kicked ass today. Definitely earned it.

 

[kk5fan]

I like it.

Marks held on to win. Dillon had a lousy restart and Hornish got by for 2nd.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Marks held on to win.

Thank you.
So, congratulations to Marks. It seems, Ty won't win an Xfinity Series race in this year.
And even though Day wasn't able to win, that should have been the best result for Dodge this year.

 

[DUN24]

This was the best. No, not because of the wrecking.... Because of the car control, or hilarious lack thereof.

 

[blanston]

You could tell that meant everything to him.

 

[Ashstrodamus]

This race was awesome. 10/10 and Marks seems like a really likable guy. Damn that interview about choked me up.

 

[BobbyFord]

That was the worst Xfin race that I ever fast-forwarded through.
I hope NASCAR learned a lesson about "racing" in the rain.

 

[Revman]

Pisses me off when Xfinity drivers steal wins from the Cup drivers in the Xfinity Series.

Nothing is ever good enough.lol

Okay, what other series' drivers would have done better in these cars and today's conditions?

 

[BobbyFord]

Nothing is ever good enough.lol

Did you notice the lap times during the rain?
A Prius could've challenged for the lead.
Racing in the rain is a joke.
JMO, of course.

It's an element hardly ever involved, hardly anyone in the field is acustomed to racing in the rain. They tip-toed through it and it turned out to be one of the most fun races because of it.

Unpredictably makes it all the more fun, but I get where you're coming from. Rain makes it fun and guess what? We have a first time winner, it breaks up the monotonous nature of 1.5 mile tracks.

It was fun for me to watch, but damn that was probably a pain to all of the drivers out there.

 

[Bowtie3]

Again, I can only speak for myself, and I may get blasted for this, but it reminded me of the first Eldora Truck race. Drivers out of their element, just trying to hang on. I really enjoyed it, but I would tire of it quickly(not that I've gotten tired of Eldora). The long cautions were a little nerve racking.

 

[racer8]

That was fun and almost comical at times.

 

[BobbyFord]

Just wasn't my cup of tea. I know now not to watch if rain tires are being considered.

 

[racer8]

Bobby is probably right, an underpowered Prius could have won that race.
