Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

[jaqua19]

Um…I’ve been up since 4am.
No time for sleep. Just didn’t look like the 5 pushed the 48.

He didn't. I watched it happen from on board the 5 in real team.

If Larson is close to an incident, certain fans will blame him.

Dont take it seriously. Reality is what it is

 

[jaqua19]

Nah.

You bonehead. Im agreeing with you.

 

[nascarwoman]

Good thing I don't have to work tonight. This race is exhausting. I keep trying to drive the car. LOL

 

[StandOnIt]

Dinger up front driving the wheels off of it.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I think there are drivers that would like more and could benefit from more practice.

On the other tracks they probably would. It was around the time they stopped doing practive that so many races turned into late-race ****shows, especially im trucks and Xfinity.

And of course those camping at the track would get to see the cars more often.

 

[jaqua19]

Oh, my --- didn't realize this is Blaney's 7th DNF.

23% of races

 

[BobbyFord]

You bonehead. Im agreeing with you.

But I wasn’t sleeping

 

[StandOnIt]

the 11 in 27th is exactly where he needs to be.

 

[jaqua19]

Are we prepared for "regular season champ" (lolololol) Reddick to not make it out of this round?

And would anyone really be surprised?

 

[BobbyFord]

Jeff Burton begging for 4-wide

 

[jaqua19]

But I wasn’t sleeping

Well it appears that we're talking about 30 different things here. Lololol

 

[SeventyGTX]

NO......not 4 wide again.

 

[BobbyFord]

Gonna be a scrap metal yard sale, very soon.

 

[jaqua19]

The geniuses of NASCAR have found a way to build cars that have to save fuel at Talladega in order to manufacture 4 wide racing.

It's a secret conspiracy

I got dibs on Larsons hood, he always gets wrapped up in them.

“Beef Roo.” What izzat?? Sounds like an Australian crossbred meat source.

Don't you dare. We have 8 stage points today and are currently hovering around p2-4. This could be the best points race of Larson's HMS career at Talladega.

Don't put that prediction out there!

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Do they have to pit again or is everyone good to go to the end?

 

[BobbyFord]

Hopin’ for the wad wreck.

Longer side skirt on the right side and a taller right top rail. It seems to stabilize them more If I had to guess.

The racing looks completely different. They used to rely on a push to get a run and they were constantly bumping into each other.
That's gone thankfully

 

[jaqua19]

Bobby.

 

[StandOnIt]

The gerbils obviously missed the changes they made for the speedway cars this week.

 

[BobbyFord]

Bobby.

There's not a single conspiracy theory I believe in. Apparently my sarcasm didn't land


I DO think the 4 wide racing was only a result of ruel savings though.

It's an even-numbered year, Logano for the championship

Larson is the worst of all time at Talladega. At this point, I'm willing to blame anyone.

Once more.

Don’t miss pit road this time, Todd.

He's the best overall in the business, stats aside. So I wouldn't be surprised.

It’s my fault, man…

 

[jaqua19]

It’s my fault, man…

It hasn't happened yet!

Need a spotter?

 

[nascarwoman]

Getting close to "hold your breath" time --- pit stops.

 

[StandOnIt]

Charlie wake up! it's green flag pit time.

 

[BobbyFord]

It hasn't happened yet!

 

[nascarwoman]

Might help my blood pressure and pulse rate. LOL

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Charlie wake up! it's green flag pit time.

I'm not asleep; that's Bobby. Although I'm not giving this my full attention. Reading about how to enjoy whiskey, wondering if it's worth the effort and expense.

 

[Spotter22]

Once more.

Don’t miss pit road this time, Todd.

Since it will be so crowded, he should come down by himself.

 

[BobbyFord]

I'm not asleep; that's Bobby.

I still ain’t slept

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Here we go. Lets see who screws up this time.
