Cup RACE thread --- Indy

Stoked about the outcome. Dog**** race though, aero aero aero.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Larson would have won even if they threw the caution. No one was getting pass him

[TheJester]

They couldn’t have made it any more obvious

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Yellow should have been thrown way earlier. It was clear the 41 was stuck and couldn't go.

And NASCAR will wonder why everyone accuses them of playing favorites.

Maybe so. Doesn’t mean it’s kinda BS not to throw the yellow. Like, it’s a little ridiculous.

I mean, if people want to bitch, bitch about the restart the same way we bitched about Hamlin's Richmond restart.

Throwing the yellow after Larson takes the white? The leader hasn't been passed on the restart all race long. We could restart 30x today and Larson would be fine. Blaney had the best outside lane front row restart of the entire race and it wasn't enough. If JHN could clear Reddick and check out, well, there ya go.

 

[JBone88]

Once again. The rules go out the window when you have the Hendrick name on your racecar.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson with plenty of gas left.

 

[BobbyFord]

Finally, Larson is fast at Indy.

 

[FLRacingFan]

No caution for a stalled car BEFORE they even took the white flag. Love the consistency!

That’s the thing. Just be consistent. They’re soooo quick to call so much less consequential incidents, like a guy getting loose into the marbles and scraping the wall.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Kiss those bricks baby!

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A nice 5th place finish for Todd Gilliland. Meanwhile, tough day for William Byron, finishes 38th.

Your man drove from 19th to 4th in 20 laps.

Car gets loose and saves it, or a tire rolls across pit road, or there's balloons in the infield, CAUTION! "PUT IT OUT!"

Car is stopped on the track for a solid minute? Keep it green!

Typical NASCAR, although Larson would have won regardless

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

They don’t love him here on RacingForums.com but they sure do at Indianapolis. Bad ass.

Meh. NASCAR does this 8x per year lol

We can't let this overshadow the fact that no one passed today. All day. Larson did at the end.. but apparently 4 tires vs fuel saving was enough.

 

[JBone88]

Sorry but I know if this was someone else winning like this people would be throwing fits and calling him the golden goose or whatever the ****

GREATEST DRIVER IN THE WORLD. Give me a break.

And we bitch about it every time they do.

Somebody hand Mrs.Larson a beer !

I'm just going to sit and watch this unfold.

Larson should have been put to the back of the longest line on the second last restart. Same thing that Majewski did at IRP on Friday and was sent to the back, why not Larson? Different rules? Bogus win... like a NYC courtroom.

For every circlejerk, there’s an equal but opposite counterjerk.

[acmerocket]

wow,what a great job my Kyle and his crew,to cool

 

[Spotter22]

The 41 was still trying to go after they crossed the line on the white flag, legit win. If he was stuffed and not moving I can see the anger but thats not what happened.

And we bitch about it every time they do.

And it's great. Could be worse. Could be the NBA. Digesting how incompetent the NBA sanctioning body is part of the fun of being a basketball fan.

If fans aren't pissed off, then they aren't interested..same goes for NASCAR. It's just part of it.

 

[Mike Crayne]

Oh Oh Its Crying time......Time to get you off my mind

 

[antman12]

Yeeeaaa Larson probably would’ve still won with another restart. But that was a really bad non call to throw the yellow by NASCAR.

The problem is the lack of consistency. Sometimes NASCAR is trigger happy and throws a yellow if a car gets sideways and other times, they do what they did there.

He was stopped by then, he settled on the track while Larson was coming out of 4.

Besides, they called a yellow when Bush hit the wall and kept going. So why does one justify it but the other not?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I love that this scheme won a race, it’s too nice of one to be put on a shelf and forgotten because of what happened in May
