Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street

[FLRacingFan]

Stewart-Haas masterclass today. Wow.

 

[Efisher131]

Berry hasn’t stopped wrecking since he got announced to the 21 next year.

Getting prepared

 

[REBS31]

And with the 41 mishap, Gragson is somehow the only SHR driver to not spin in the last three minutes

 

[StandOnIt]

Nothing says street race like the shot with the cars coming over the hill with the city traffic in the background.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Joey Hand into the top 10

 

[Hotrod]

Haas drivers doing the best they can to get rid of excess inventory.

 

[Blaze]

I wouldn't mind seeing the first 54 Cup win...

I’ll pass

 

[FLRacingFan]

They sure seem to be pushing the gambling angles a lot today.

 

[Magicmiler]

Starting a race at 3 PM on a “track” with no lights and no way to resume tomorrow has to be the stupidest ****** decision I have ever seen from an event management perspective.

Just mind blowing how stupid NASCAR and/or NBC are here.

When was the last time you went to a Modified race @ Loudon on a Saturday???

 

[StandOnIt]

Hmm this might be interesting

 

[Greg]

Doing a stage change in the race with the issues is idiotic

 

[FLRacingFan]

Zero margin for error for these guys taking slicks. Looks like some decent puddles off line in a lot of sections.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

What I’m saying… I don’t think it’s a blind squirrel. I think his equipment sucks and he over drives it 99.9% of the time but put him in a position where equipment doesn’t matter much and he shines

20 has no drive off with those slicks

 

[Biggreen695]

Joey Hand gonna win a stage!!!

 

[JBone88]

Huge playoff point for Joey Hand. Somebody tell Burton!

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

So it’s gonna be a 15 minute shootout because of this stupid stage break BS.

 

[Brentford]

Will Joey Hand get a waiver if he wins??

Nemechek has 23 wins in the lower divisions. Folks on here act like he’s Hailie Deegan.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

With how little time is left I would stay on the wets. Might as well take a gamble

 

[Mispeedway15]

It looks way too wet to be on slicks

Matt Kenseth did in 2020

Too soon, man!

5 or 6 of those in garbage family equipment (no offense to Joe)

Will be worth it for some guys I think. It looked so treacherous on the out lap for guys who just got onto slicks. Get an immediate caution or two and the race might end under yellow without having to do anything anyways.

 

[Efisher131]

I’d love to see Joey Hand win this.

Two ringers in a row.

I could see some guys in the back who took slicks come back in for wet tires. Doesn’t seem like enough time for the track to dry up. Bell could hardly drive after that stop.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

We could just put the time remaining in the pylon NBC.

Yep it's cool, plenty of off line wet to run thru. I think track position is worth the gamble.

Two ringers in a row.

He drove Gen 6 Rick Ware cars and was running top 20 a few times on road courses. He’s no joke.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

**** stage breaks.

 

[JBone88]

Timed race. And we are riding around under yellow.

 

[jaqua19]

Can we vote the 54/20 bonehead of the race?

You understand Elliott, KB etc trying it.

But the leaders?

 

[aunty dive]

Bowman for the win.

 

[JBone88]

I could see Alex Bowman stealing this.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Again, why is this taking so long

I'm familiar with him.
