Atlanta RACE thread

[DUN24]

Gordon is not going to get a lap back as long as he keeps pitting under caution instead of taking the wave around.

The next time Alan Gustafson makes a gutsy call in the pits will be the first....

The way these green flag runs have been going, he would be pitting 10 laps after the restart under green.

Wouldn't help. When he pits for tires, he'll lose that lap anyway. They needed to get off sequence and pray for lucky yellows.

 

[*WEAVER*]

It's about time for Harvick to have some bad luck. Like hitting a squirrel or something.

It's one of those bonehead Alan nights. He brings great cars to the track but ****s the bed when he feels pressure.

Us fans can see what it takes to make up time and track position, but he is oblivious.

Not me. I'm happy to be watching the race live. Been busy the past couple of days, I wasn't sure I was going to get to see the race today. Plus tomorrow is a holiday, so it's time to relax for me.

If its a holiday up there....I'm taking a day off too!

Hell yes!

 

[FenderBumper]

Wow, Edwards goes fast then drops like a rock.

 

[Clutch]

Patrick having a good day!

Gordon's running the fastest damn laps on the track...such a joke.

Well his strategy hasnt worked for the past 300 miles. Try something ****** different

Danica runs well at this 1.5 tracks, good for her

Dear ESPN: Please show lap times on the scoring loop.

 

[JEB]

Fastest car on the track can't make up 2 laps.

Grow some balls alan.

Seems to me Alan didn't have a strategy. Too late now.

If we had real restarts like 10 years ago we could have RACED back onto the lead lap...

 

[Turn5ive]

Late pit strategy is going to make this interesting. Tires mean a lot but track position means more. Who risks what, who doesn't.

 

[Gordon_Fan24]

Man.....this has been a snoozer

Long green runs kills it for you if you're a lap or more down with a fast car.

 

[Turn5ive]

But to "race back" you'd need the old spec packages. No front splitters, low or adjustable spoilers. Less downforce to make drivers matter.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Someone will take 2 tires

 

[DaBiff1618]

Hopefully there's some strategy at the end

That doesn't make a difference, I'm saying instead of restarting 23rd on the track two laps down, he would have been restarting 5th on the racetrack with the cars 1 lap down directly in front of him... For example.

Lol If he did, 24 woulda won 10 races this year. So competitive but only 3 wins. Coulda been a 1998 season.

Hopefully there's some GWCs at the end

If only NASCAR was like it was 10 years ago...

 

[PushRodV8]

The meteor hits in 3.....2.....1......

 

[JEB]

Brad...

 

[beantownkid10]

Again, another caution that ***** over the 24.....

 

[Kiante]

Beswick on queue.

 

[BobbyFord]

Deuce is used

 

[JEB]

**** that, 20years ago

 

[FenderBumper]

Wow, Hammy jammed the whole track up.

 

[DUN24]

We could legit take a wave around here........

 

[BobbyFord]

Cole "not ready for Cup" Whitt

 

[KevinWI]

Could be a fun finish if Harv has to go through the field for the final stint on fresh tires.

 

[Jeffrey00]

Never mind. The 22 pitted again.

 

[DUN24]

**** that, 20years ago

True. Just realized 04' was 10 years ago .

 

[JEB]

Bonehead of the race...Alan Gustafson

He's back to form I see
