Another gorgeous, sunny day here in Texas. Warm sunshine and light breezes.
Ready to settle for the race.

Salut Tex, bonjour à tous, profitez de la course

 

[Jypyone (La Rochelle)]

i've just finished watching the formula one race at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami... just changing my clothes put other helmet... let’s go...

Sweet.

Are those Trex decking boards ?

 

[DanicaFreak]

Michael can’t sing

Too sweet.

Are those Trex composite decking boards ?

 

[2 Sweet]

Sweet.

Are those Trex decking boards ?

Yes indeed!

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

I feel like the drivers internally cringe when they hear Michael call their name and approach them.

 

[Clutch]

Love it man!

[DaleJrFan2003]

Honestly, he did a better job at 101 than I could probably do at 23 lol

I've heard much worse anthems than that.

 

[Greg]

That was a worthy national anthem. Those WW2 vets are ten feet tall, and it is good to celebrate them while they are still here with us.

 

[StandOnIt]

Treachery will be the theme today and the wall wins every time.

Where's the one dude who always reminds us that Fort Worth is as big as Dallas or whatever

@PeopleAreStrange you out there?

 

[Greg]

He doesn't post that often anymore. He is a good guy I just love messing with him. He loves his hometown, good for him.

 

[StandOnIt]

Amigo has lost the handle

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I know, it's only lap 20, but is Kyle for real?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

These 'Team meeting' segments are interchangeable. Rah-rah pep talk with no significant content, not that I'd expect a crew chief to give anything away in front if a camera.

 

[jaqua19]

Man the 5 team has some serious issues.

Same thing every week. No rear grip. Gets worse as race goes on.

Agreed. 100% pointless, but some out of touch clown calling shots at the network thinks fans will actually enjoy it

 

[DIDIT]

Blaney is making good progress…but wait, here come pit stops.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

The Spire cars fell off a cliff on the long run, oof.

 

[2 Sweet]

Also while we're at it, the booth needs to quit bugging drivers on the radio under yellow. That's another gimmick that provides zero value

What the hell was the 77 CC doing?

 

[Jypyone (La Rochelle)]

I know that many people don't like Logano, personally I've never understood why... but this year doesn't seem to be going well for him... is there a problem between him and Penske Racing or is he no longer motivated?

Its the combination of the engineers. They have gotten "off track"

 

[StandOnIt]

What the hell was the 77 CC doing?

Losing 6 seconds off the lead.

 

[jaqua19]

5 is junk. Again. Can't even run top 12 pace at Texas... Texas. Lol. Cliff man... figure this out.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What the hell was the 77 CC doing?

Throwing away a stage.

 

[Greg]

What the hell was the 77 CC doing?

I like short pitting but I think they will be okay if they run the entire stage under green. Some of the short pitters will have to run 45 or more laps before getting another set.

 

[Spotter22]

Losing 6 seconds off the lead.

Agreed, when you see the first top 10 car pit you better get on the wall unless we are in the latter part of the last stage.

 

[2 Sweet]

I know that many people don't like Logano, personally I've never understood why...

Because Logano doesn't understand "an eye for an eye"....if Joey doesn't like something another driver does, even if it's an accident, he'll intentionally get "payback" that's 10x more severe than the initial infraction.

Although it's hard to blame him considering all the BS he dealt with from Hamlin earlier in his career. I think Joey has PTSD from that, and the Kenseth deal

Bell is setup for the long run. Its gonna be a tall task for the 77

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Sh!t. Bell is hosed.

 

[Blaze]

Wow

I hope so. He's my pick'em pick@
