RACE thread --- Duels 1 & 2

[2 Sweet]

I love this top 5

It’s interesting to see the gaps in the draft. Cars being symmetrical is causing them to run similar to plates in the 90s IMO

 

[kkfan91]

If it stays green and Grala doesn't lose draft I think he should be fine ti beat out Yeley

 

[Hotrod]

How can you tell?

Nice straight lines, movement at the rear does not seem to unsettle the car in front.
Just an early observation.

Dont see as much sparks like in the past.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

It's quite clear, lack of backups has made drivers ride in line. I get it, I'd do this too given the situation.

Special thanks to Jardiance (empagliflozin) tablets for promoting our sport so generously.

LOL

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Spotter talk led me to believe there were team orders for HMS. Shocking I know...

 

[StandOnIt]

I doubt there will be much if any, but I want to see how they can push each other. Rounded fronts and new rounded rear ends this year.

 

[kkfan91]

And Grala lost the draft

Kurt trying to make a move.

The duels used to be the best races in Speedweeks until the charters.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Side by side move and were showing tail of field…

I posted several weeks ago that this was how it was gonna be due to parts shortages and they all scoffed.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I can’t recall it ever being this difficult to stay in the draft

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

i should add that, though I criticize, I get Fox showing the “race in” battle. God knows the lead pack is a snoozer.

 

[HoneyBadger]

It’s time to retire the duels.

Common sense always said this would be so.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

It’s time to retire the duels.

It’s been time honestly. There isn’t enough of a car count to make it worth it anymore

 

[cheesepuffs]

I'm feeling the same way. This feels totally pointless and is actually less interesting imo that just single car qual itself

IROC says hi

some of us are still scoffing

 

[HoneyBadger]

You don’t want to be the last car in the draft.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Gustafson: “good on gas here, just go.”
Chase: “Copy.”
ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

No one makes you watch

Yeah, because they've never run single file in a Duel before...

 

[cheesepuffs]

Arrogance takes the place of common sense for a handful of people here unfortunately

 

[2 Sweet]

Yep. When we had 60 cars showing up, the qualifying races made sense. That isn't the case nowadays

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Fair point

$$$$$

Some of you still have your heads in the sand

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I still enjoy it it just isn’t the same as it was when I was younger. It’s still a race at the end of day and I’ll watch

 

[Pat]

I just hope they all make it without wrecking any cars

 

[kkfan91]

They make plenty of sense, it's like a heat race there is zero reason to get rid of them other then a handful of fans who have nothing better to do then start stupid ****.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Tinfoil hat post: Mr. H will have Larson lay over to let Chase win

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Amen. This is the first time I’m praying for no cautions.

 

[Kiante]

Just enjoying watching NASCAR again.
