Xfinity RACE thread --- Atlanta

[TexasRaceLady]

Short break and back to racing. Sure hope the Xfinity race is as good as the truck race.

Also hope the rain out the West holds off.
Wish it would come my way -- but no such luck.

I think this is the first road course I've seen with no right turns. How odd.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

First race I've sat down to watch in a couple years.

 

[bigspud]

lol, only about 100 people in the seats,

flat foot follies = zzzzz

First race I've sat down to watch in a couple years.

Then let's hope it's a good one.

That poor crowd is exactly why Xfinity needs more standalone dates.

Imagine if this race was at Lanier or Road Atlanta

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Then let's hope it's a good one.

I agree. Looks pretty good so far.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Lots of off-throttle time in the corners.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Would someone hose down the Gerbils?

 

[Kiante]

That was wild, even for an 8 car breakaway.

 

[StandOnIt]

wiggle = sideways

I’ve been critical of Atlanta and the Superspeedway racing, but it’s been alright so far today. Off throttle time helps.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Lots of screw-ups in the pits. Dang.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

AJ in trouble

 

[jws926]

Dinger dings the wall

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Good job by the 16 car for not causing an unholy mess.

I don’t get the hate for NBC/USA. This is decent stuff on USA.

They do much better and more professional than Fox Sports.

I don't either, the actual production is miles ahead of FOX Sports.

 

[jws926]

Defiantly a much different race than the spring race.

Defiantly a much different race than the spring race.

Much better to me.

 

[jws926]

Much better to me.

Thus far I am inclined to agree.

 

[racingfan7]

Thus far I am inclined to agree.

I was very critical of the spring weekend at Atlanta and so far the racing has been miles better once they get a bit of seperation and handling.

 

[bigspud]

maybe next year they can throw some dirt on the track,
zzzzz

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This feels like a old superspeedway race with how spread out it is

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Oh boy, gettin a bit dicey out there.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

That was good.

 

[jws926]

Nice cross over move

 

[carolinabuff]

Pretty good racing so far

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The guys in the booth get overexcited. Otherwise its a superior product.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Does that yellow help AJ?

 

[jws926]

That could of been the big one

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Great driving by Hemric

Yeah I see what you mean

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Da heck? 18 -> 98 -> 54?

 

[Kiante]

Monster on Monster violence.

The Haters are gratifying themselves right about now...
