Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

[BobbyFord]

Wish they’d retire these dinosaur tracks.

 

[AdoubleU24]

24 and 5 choosing opposite lanes is odd

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Here we go!

 

[KTMLew01]

Nascar is going to pass out 6" lift kits for the next plate race.

Car probably still won't move on these aluminum wheels with flats? Or be able to steer. What Logano said. Jacked back up with magic inflator. couldn't go anywhere.

 

[StandOnIt]

Who survived here we go.

 

[BobbyFord]

Go 8 FFS

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

 

[BobbyFord]

8 just had sex with himself

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

8 is done.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Wrecky takes checkers!

 

[BobbyFord]

Non playoff guy wins.

 

[jaqua19]

Larson's spotter told Larson to "stay off of him" of the of the 6.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Larson finishing this one feels like checkers to me. Onto the Roval.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Good, a non-playoff driver.

 

[nascarwoman]

Made it to the finish.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Brad didn’t get the push from Larson in time

 

[Naitch]

At least people can’t complain about a “lottery winner.” Stenhouse was up there all day.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Another non-playoff driver wins. I love it.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Ah yes, the guy the 9 was pushing when he got junked. Fun times

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

The bottom lane wasn't organized, congrats to Stenhouse!

 

[Efisher131]

The guy is great at these tracks

 

[FLRacingFan]

Good for Ricky and JTGD, another dub from a non-playoff squad.

Lots of playoff guys seemed content to consolidate their finishes there. Busch was left out in the cold.

 

[BobbyFord]

Ricky has always been a good plate driver.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

As a UNC alum, I’m happy for Brad Daughtery.

 

[StandOnIt]

Another non-playoff driver wins. I love it.

Second place also lol.

 

[jaqua19]

The only way to make this worse is a 5 win. . Sorry @jaqua19

That's exactly what happened!

Well. P4. But... Same thing.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Byron made the move a second too late.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

24 and 5 choosing opposite lanes is odd

Kyle isn’t the greatest team player, but Willy is worse.

 

[Blaze]

Yeah, Ricky is one of the best drivers at this type of thing. Good for him.

 

[jaqua19]

24 and 5 choosing opposite lanes is odd

Nah. They were comfortable protecting each lane for the points.

Larson was told to "not" push the 6 coming to the checkers. They basically gifted Chevy the win and protected their points.

That makes sense.

 

[Brentford]

Byron advances! YAY!!!

 

[KTMLew01]

Wonder if Busch was running out of gas?

 

[SeventyGTX]

Larson finishing this one feels like checkers to me. Onto the Roval.

Only his 2nd top five here out of 19 tries.

 

[jaqua19]

Kyle isn’t the greatest team player, but Willy is worse.

At superspeedways Kyle sure is because he doesn't know what the hell he's doing otherwise lolol

Larson and Byron each protected their lane from the second row with a Chevy and Ford on front row. Larson being told to "not" push the 6 on the front stretch...

I think Larson and Willy restarting side side WAS playing the team card.

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Gotta go get the Roval.

 

[jaqua19]

That makes sense.

And it's why Talladega shouldn't be such an important race in the playoffs.

 

[BobbyFord]

28 car crash today. We look forward to this.
