Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street

All Sunday chores done. Snacks/beverages at hand. Recliner fluffed and ready.

Hope today is as exciting as yesterday's. I want another barn-burner.

If they all run the same strategy it could be a blowout if SVG gets control of the race. I hope some of the teams run different strategies like yesterday.

Oooops, a rare misstep by HRM, Hooters is still on Chase’s fire suit.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Mostly cloudy and a bit hot for the green flag today, 87 degrees.

Maybe a personal services contract that they already paid for?

It'll be interesting to see how quickly William Byron can rally from his 27th starting spot, and how long Michael McDowell can keep it in the top 5.

More like it’ll be interesting to see how long Byron will stay in the top 27. The team has been off lately and it hasn’t been pretty.

Lightning hold

 

[BobbyFord]

Looks moist out there

Lightning hold

OK, its a rain hold, trying to figure out what to start on. My guy at the track misspoke. I guess its both

 

[Efisher131]

This race is cursed

 

[Brentford]

“Very shortly”…as they begin covering the cars.

 

[Spotter22]

Unfortunately this is what hurts our sport the most. the Incredible buildup and then it falls flat on its face because of weather.

 

[Tony_K]

<sigh>

 

[BobbyFord]

The race in the rain was crap. I hope they leave the rain tires in the truck and wait for sunshine

 

[Efisher131]

Why are we starting at 5:00 anyway? That leaves 3.5 hours of light. Any delay and the race is in jeopardy

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Can’t abuse track limits today

Our man in Illinois can always find something of interest in every race. Kudos.

 

[Spotter22]

They are gonna give the teams the option of wets or slicks

 

[Efisher131]

That radar looks eerily similar to last year it’s just 20 miles north

 

[Brentford]

That’s ridiculous!

Glad we sat here with our thumb up our asses until 5:00 for it to start raining. Smh

I don’t want to watch the laps tick by under yellow

 

[Spotter22]

Life is about choices

Hey look, it’s raining at a NASCAR race.

We really need their services in North Carolina.

Glad you knew it wouldn't rain at noon.

 

[pjmolo]

Seems like they didn't learn from the late start last year.

Another shortened race perhaps ?

Pocono next week. Another rainy place. I’ve been to Pocono several times where the only little thunderstorm in the state hits the track

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

If there’s lightning at any point, that’s at least a half hour of stoppage.

 

[Spotter22]

"raining champion" yuk yuk yuk

Don't confuse them, they think they are the center of the universe.

 

[StandOnIt]

Interesting wrench in the works, wets or drys.

 

[pjmolo]

Maybe this time it'll work . . .

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Teams have no idea about the weather

 

[Brentford]

This is gonna be a mess.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

If I'm in the back, I put on slicks and let the leaders dry it out for me.

 

[StandOnIt]

Poor Jeff, his mind is blown and they haven't even started yet.

 

[FLRacingFan]

If they unleash them and the rain stays at a light sprinkle, they should have a dry line formed within a few laps anyways. Let them race.

 

[Biggreen695]

Pre race has been on since 4 and it ain’t rained a drop until now
