Cup RACE thread --- Kentucky

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's keep the discussion about the race --- keep the commercial hatred to a minimum, please.
I know the myriad commercials were a pain in the butt last week, but it also was a distraction in the
race thread. If you must complain, start a thread about the commercials --- same goes for the talking heads in the booth.

Here's hoping for a good race with plenty of passing.

As usual, will open at the green.

Go Carl!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Saw a bolt fall off the car in front? Oh, come on, Jimmie. LOL

Sure hope we get the first lap done without any mayhem.

 

[DanicaFreak]

[jws926]

Nobody likes a tattletale Jimmie. Except of course me.

 

[DanicaFreak]

single file

Since Jimmie had to go to a backup car why didn't he have to start at the back of the field? Is that because qualifying got rained out?

 

[Michfan]

This is going to be a yawner, I think

Kurt Busch goes to rear for backup car -- he wrecked primary after lineup was set. Johnson keeps spot b/c wrecked primary b4 lineup set

 

[jws926]

And Ricky brings out the first yellow

 

[R Clarence]

[DanicaFreak]

Thanks, I just saw your post in the pre-race thread after I posted that.

 

[Bob]

Some drivers pitting but can't take fuel before competition caution

I used him successfully a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Buesher up 14 spots.

 

[Acs]

looks like Kevin might have the car to back up his starting position this week. Oh well his pit crew will find a way to blow it.

 

[jws926]

And the flag man brings out the caution

And the flag man brings out the caution

Peanut shells in the flag stand; counts as debris.

 

[Kiante]

JJ has some bodywork flared out at least it looks like it.

 

[Pat]

@jeff_gluck @bobpockrass is it just me or does Carl Edwards side fender look really flared..
Bob Pockrass ‏@bobpockrass · 10m10 minutes ago
see many left sides flared. assume NASCAR OK w/it at Ky b/c turns have different banking. Will see if make any1 fix

 

[Acs]

Well looks like I was wrong, ****** pit stop of the night so far goes to the 78 team. Hope it was worth it to make no adjustments and still lose 8 spots.

 

[jws926]

Oh yeah, come on Kurt, drive away from the field

 

[racefan41]

ah nuts

 

[Michfan]

Ole Jimbo sucks with this package

 

[jws926]

And the 48 night just got worse

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Oh no, Stenhouse in the wall! There goes my fantasy week....

Said no one, ever.

Oh no, Johnson in the wall! There goes my fantasy week...

I said for real, just now...

 

[TexasRaceLady]

JJ just lost it all by himself.

 

[Blaze]

Well Jimmie, what was you thinking.

 

[racer8]

Did JJ hit that bolt?

 

[jws926]

I am guessing JJ isnt going to like the new track or the LDP after tonight

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well Jimmie, what was you thinking.

He was thinking, "Charlie Spencer has me on his team. Watch me screw him over!"

 

[DSquad48]

Just tuned in...wtf

 

[racefan41]

41 strategy seemed way too easy

 

[Michfan]

Man this package would be awesome with soft tires and old track

 

[Acs]

I dunno, still seems like a case of running the bottom or slightly off the bottom. No top groove
