Cup RACE thread --- Sonoma

[LJ7201]

I think the Glen is a little better track for the Cup car. With that said, Sonoma is great! If nothing else this race should be in late October as a Chase event.

I've always preferred Sonoma but WGI is nice too. I'm not sure if road courses would lose their charm/novelty if they took up more dates but I doubt it.

Do any of you think I (a middle aged accountant) would look cool in those Carolina Blue shoes they keep advertising?

I've seen the commercial 20+ times and am beginning to fall in love with the product

Even Elvis wouldn't look cool in those shoes.

Early 2000s I think. I remember FOX doing segments on it. Gilligan’s Island.

If I recall, FOX sent Larry Big Mac to the island

Okay, can I admit giving Kentucky a Cup date was a mistake, especially after the 2011 fiasco

Brad trying to see how close he could get to hitting that wall.

Sure. SMI would be happy for someone to take the blame.

Life is short, get you a pair and enjoy

Thanks ...of course I am being a little bit optimistic about being "middle aged" - unless of course I live to be 120.

But as TRL would say...back to the race

As an almost-middle aged accountant myself, I would say, no, I would not.

I am the only guy in my fantasy league that does NOT have Dinger!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Yes, please.

AJ putting it into 1.5th gear.

 

[FLRacingFan]

AJ at road courses, such a tease.

Wish they kept it flat

 

[DewChaser988]

Great, Allmendinger's car turned into a hand grenade. Lovely it will be another Truex/Harvick show, *bleh*

Nice call.

I'll be there in 3 weeks. This will be my 3rd year attending the Kentucky race. It's in the middle of the summer which makes for a great little 3-4 day weekend gettaway for myself. Plus it's a night race which gives it a little bit of uniqueness. It's a nice track with reasonable ticket prices. Plus, traffic is never and issue! I combine the trip with 2-3 rounds of golf. With that said, if Kentucky didn't have a race I'd just travel somewhere elsel. I'll be at Pocono 2 weeks later.

Instant karma - I do have McMurray...

[Hotrod]

Dang Dinger, Snake bit once again. Oh well......

 

[Racer1930]

'Dinger is done!...booo

Find em or grind em

 

[jws926]

Well nice to see Kurt found the front half of the field .

 

[DewChaser988]

I think Chevy's issues are a power problem due to them using an 11 year old engine design

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Penskes are blocking traffic.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Thanks Brad, one less pointless camera shot to utilize.

 

[ToyYoda]

Highest Chevy in the field is Chase in 10th. I guess they don't just suck on ovals.

We made it to the Custer State Park Game Lodge Campground SD just in time to get the satellite dish set up for the race. Yahooo.

LOL - "Dad! there is a Bear in the camp ! "

Dad: "Hold on, I'll take care of it in a minute...DAMN Dinger blew u...."

 

[ChexOrWrex]

FOX misses lead change while at commercial

The Ford FR9 engine is 9 years old, so I dont think age is all that much of an issue.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Well at least FOX are going out the way they’ve performed all year. Here’s to consistency.

LOL
Their new sales tagline

"Chevy, We Just Don't Suck On Ovals"

Wow, that's a long way to drive to pick up good reception on that dish...lol.

Props to Dinger for owning it.
