600 RACE thread --- Charlotte

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Daniel drove his ass off those last couple restarts. Good for him

2 comments, I was having fun, it's my birthday today and am disappointed by a rain shortened race. I'm over it. Don't be like that Mich

2?

 

[JJ_14]

That was epic. Suarez is such a likeable dude. Congrats.

 

[nascarwoman]

Oh, well, Mother Nature needed her beauty sleep.
Congratulations, Daniel and the 7 team.

 

[StandOnIt]

Kyle’s last win was in the Spire #7, the Spire #7 wins tonight.

Spire was Kyle's KBM team. Many worked at KBM too.

 

[BobbyFord]

Still cannot believe Kyle is gone.
Really hurts. Congrats Suarez.

2 actual comments complaining over about a 1 minute period. Drop it.

 

[HoneyBadger]

By the way it's still raining. Soonest this would have restarted is 2 am

There's more rain behind this too. And even if it wasn't, restarting a race at 1am or later is just not acceptable.

That's unbelievable. Kyle would have been proud.

Big points day for SVG.

 

[LJ7201]

Nice that a KBM alum wins, but no surprise there - with how much of a powerhouse farm team it was just about every other driver in cup today raced in one of Kyle's trucks. What a legend in so many ways.

Yeah it's still raining at the moment. 2 am is the absolute best case. No brainer

Yes, it was the right call.

Suarez did a great job on those restarts, stayed focused and fended off the Yota cabal…congrats! Very happy for him.

Top 4 points for Larson. SVG with 33, 8th best on the night!

 

[LJ7201]

Also with how much of a troll Kyle was, a few of his old on track competitors who had routinely fought with him for wins getting hit with Suarez taking 2 tires + bad weather every time one of them got in striking distance would be something he would've gotten a kick out of.

Denny and Bell are both pissed.

Love that Carl is back. Saw some God interview with Carl and said that he tried to hide his son from racing but they can't, so Carl Edwards kid is taking the racing journey too.

Need more Carl in the sport. His driving career is done, but he belongs in the sport.

 

[jaqua19]

Ty is really coming along.

Carl should be in the booth

Still on the air. Prime is the best!

Larson 3rd most stage points, 6th most points on the season. Some results on the table.

Katherine Legge looks like she just got off of work and wants to hit the sack. Looks like she's about to fall asleep.

I have no idea what the 1’s strategy is but it’s fascinating

I'm just now catching up. It's Ross. Probably blocking practice I guess.

 

[StandOnIt]

Amigo up 4 spots.

 

[FLRacingFan]

If this was indycar you'd all be applauding the strategy and saying its amazing.

Some of the worst 500s on record were rain-shortened. 1973 and 2007 come to mind, although not all down to the weather. ‘73 was a disaster all around. Dario got his first win in ‘07 in pretty similar circumstances to tonight.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

Ultimately I think calling it was the right call and I'm happy that we got most of the distance in AND it was actual racing and not constant cautions. But man, the weather officiating was terrible. Would've been better to just keep it red flagged during that lightning caution instead of jerking us around like they did.

Can’t believe I’m still watching post race coverage. Give them the whole season

They need the full season. They actually treat nascar like it's a big deal.

 

[Naitch]

Suarez is proving so many people wrong this year. Trackhouse is so far off.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Suarez had to hold off Hamlin and Bell for two restarts and got it done. He earned this one.

If only they worked together to clear him. They battled each other too hard there

 

[Turtle84]

Amigo & Kyle , he's right there with you, an inspired special drive.

 

[Clutch]

Just watched the race hilights on YouTube as I was working during the race.
Just heartbreaking watching the family before the race.

RIP Kyle. I thank you for all the enjoyment you gave me watching you race.
