Cup RACE thread --- Kansas

[TexasRaceLady]

Ready for some racing.
Open at the green.

Competition caution at Lap 30 --- rained this morning and washed all the rubber off the track.

Please, please --- let's concentrate on the race on the track tonight.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Green!

On a green track.

 

[jws926]

Yay, Saturday night racing.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Stands look pretty healthy

 

[DewChaser988]

This is the most fitting sponsor for a race in recent memory, I mean a race in Kansas City being sponsored by a barbecue sauce.

 

[Blaze]

Let's go Harvick!

 

[aunty dive]

Kenseth down 1 on lap 27.

 

[racer8]

Confirmed, the 6 car sucks

 

[jws926]

[StandOnIt]

Got the kid out front.

PENALTY: William Byron, outside tire violation.

 

[Johali]

Chase Elliott's pit stop 16.2 seconds. The rest 13.6 to 14 .6. Same old crap every week. Oh well.

 

[JBone88]

How was that a penalty? These pit road rules are ridiculous sometimes.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Tire violation on a two-tire stop. 24 crew inventing new ways of being bad.

 

[StandOnIt]

more tire B.S. IMO.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

I'm tuned in. This track races like a smaller Michigan imo...

 

[*WEAVER*]

The tire guy just dropped the tire, how in the hell is that a penalty?

 

[Kiante]

Confirmed, the 6 car sucks

Its only his first race in months, but it just goes to show how much work is needed.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Dropping the tire wasn't the problem, it was WHERE the tire was when the car left. It has to be on the inside 1/2 of the box.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Is Kenseth in the 6 at Pocono? That could be a better barometer...

Ok, I've got the sound turned down watching a race online so wasn't for sure what they were saying about it.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Still find it incredible how good the Fords are with an old body

 

[Bowman The Showman]

Just dropping in, is Kenseth in the lead yet?

 

[DIDIT]

Stop the uncontrolled tires NOW!
GO BLANEY GO!

 

[ReturnTrip]

Blaney won a race already DW

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Just dropping in, is Kenseth in the lead yet?

He is almost in the lead for being the last car on the lead lap if that counts.

 

[racer8]

Its only his first race in months, but it just goes to show how much work is needed.

That was my point

 

[DIDIT]

Just dropping in, is Kenseth in the lead yet?

Almost

 

[StandOnIt]

guy drops a tire with his hand on it the whole time. uncontrolled tire.

 

[Bowman The Showman]

Almost

Trevor could do this...

 

[Kiante]

I remember when Almirola could have won in 2012, he had mad fast car that day. I think it was the spring race as well.

 

[Kiante]

MTJ lost his horseshoe?

Nah, I think the Fords have improved that much.

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah Almirola had a good finish also

 

[sdj]

I have stayed neutral on a lot of the penalties of late, but, Nastycar needs to loosen the belt a little bit, this is racing not a choreographed Las Vegas Show, stuff happens.

 

[Bowman The Showman]

I hear Kevin lepage is available for the 17 car...

 

[StandOnIt]

Harvick said he was worried about lap 15 on with the car. He has lost a second to Blaney so far.

 

[sdj]

I miss my DVR the commercials SUCK! (on road traveling in California on business, hotels do not have DVR's)

Yeah, but that rule has been in effect for quite a while --- helps prevent tires from being hit by exiting cars.

bring the tire changer back or loosen up, this is really affecting the racing.

That is the race that made me an Almirola fan
