Cup RACE thread --- Roval

[SeventyGTX]

Who knows where he would be had he started his Cup career with Hendrick.

Pretty good race, Larson deserved the win. I was skeptical when they made the roval but it has produced some good racing. The Reddick story in this race was exciting - I was cheering for him.

True, but Larson was just walking around asking teams if they needed a driver. If Chip didn't give him a shot?

All 4 HMS cars... or half the field in the bottom 8 in the Championship Playoffs.

Will Bowman clean his locker out now or wait till they get back from Phoenix?

HMS x 4, JGR x 2, 2311 x 1, Penske x 1

I'm just glad Rick Hendrick doesn't let fans influence his decision making about who drives his race cars or Larson or Bowman wouldn't be in his cars going into another round of eliminations .

I realize all that, just saying if he had started his career there like Johnson or Gordon who knows how many Cups or wins he would have in a top ride from the start of his career instead of a few years into it.

That’s perfect karma for Hamlin letting him by. He advances but not in the standings Hamlin gets paid for.

Also yes I do realize he would have made it anyway.

HMS x 4, JGR x 2, 2311 x 1, Penske x 1

Which means 4 Chevy's--3 Toyota's--1 Ford.

Straight points in the last 3 races.

Larson been the only car keeping pace with SVG so far.

Similar to Sonoma...except SVG. If Cliff can get him out front of SVG with strategy in stage 3, pace seems to be there.

That had an excellent shelf life!

If you throw enough unga at the wall some of it will stick.

You have no idea how badly I want Bowman to steal a spot in the Final Four.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Dang MTJ.

He smoked the tires going into the hairpin far more often than not. He never got a handle on it. Running out the season.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

NASCAR is going to start calling yellows on these spins they’ve let go until now.

Didn’t happen.

 

[jaqua19]

Yeah it sucks, if it wasn't him having to approach today this way it would've been someone else like Larson or Byron tho, was just his turn.

Definitely gonna have to win Martinsville. I don't see any other path aside from a lot of other guys having issues.

You can count Reddick out for sure though.

Bowman is DQed

It's not hard to read trends and look at laptimes

Well ****

 

[rd45usa]

Do the stage points get adjusted now too if he was awarded any today?

 

[jaqua19]

Wowwwww

 

[AdoubleU24]

Sooo did they not weigh the car before the race? Lol. How does this even happen

 

[JJ_14]

 

[AdoubleU24]

I vote for the 48's playoff points to be transferred to the 9 team for no other reason than...because.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

You may have to take a rain check on that one.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Interesting item to fail. At least weight is pretty clear-cut.

 

[aunty dive]

It passed minimum weight in prerace inspection.

Did they lose some ballast? Purposefully removing weight makes no sense.

 

[Brentford]

Wow! That’s huge!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bowman launched it pretty good over the frontstretch chicane curbing early in the race, but it didn’t look like anything came off the car as a result. Weird.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Well I'll say this assuming it sticks. You let Logano sneak thru to Phoenix you can engrave the trophy early. Unless Blaney also makes it.
