Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

[nascarwoman]

TRL sent me a message asking me to start the race thread. She has some family obligations.
I hope it's not wishful thinking that we see the kind of race Martinsville is famous for.

Practice was pretty fun...let's see

I'm just excited for a "king sized" race length today. Nice to have one that hasn't been shortened over the years.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Love this race.. I hope its a good one. Love me some good ol fashioned manufactured excitement!

Running on a gallon of coffee ️ let's go 500 laps

 

[Conover]

Love this race being the last one ahead of the championship. Yes I’m pulling for Hamcrap to get walled early. Yes I will always pull for Ross to win any race he in. But today, I really want to see Elliot win his way into the finale.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Always look forward to the races here! I predict we're gonna get plenty of action and drama today.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Lap 10 and Hamlin is still P35... interesting

 

[Turtle84]

22 is giving me cornflakes scheme vibes

 

[Speedbowl14]

Glad to see great weather and a big crowd. Especially after this track now having quite a few snoozers in recent years.

He has all kinds of problems. Loose, tight, etc.

The guy wants to win races, I don't think he's as hung up on championships as some of his fans are. There is still a lot of this race left, but again you are already throwing in the towel.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Will the broadcast notice Reddick pitted???

 

[HoneyBadger]

Why doesn’t NBC have the playoff standings as they run on the pylon?

 

[AdoubleU24]

Elliott is leading and looks awesome and I don't feel confident at all lol. Point is it's only lap 60, anything and everything can happen

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Truex on pit road

 

[SeventyGTX]

With this lame format, you wouldn't even know Briscoe and Preece are in the race while running 3rd and 4th. It's nothing but PLAYOFFS!!!

edit:, well that is until Preece roughed up the 19........lol

 

[SlicedBread22]

Hamlin driving for his life lol

Why doesn’t NBC have the playoff standings as they run on the pylon?

They have had it here and there.. I assume as the race nears the end it will be there more.

 

[Reck]

Hamlin could be a threat in fact. He’s chewing through the field.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Truex on pit road

And he got busted for speeding. There goes his day.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Hamlin could be a threat in fact. He’s chewing through the field.

He's ALWAYS a threat here........unfortunately.

Lol still looks like Martini to me, nice catch

 

[Speedbowl14]

Truex is comical his final season. Legendary fall apart by this team.

 

[Reck]

Larson passes one car in 80 laps. Progress.

 

[StandOnIt]

Bell and LaJoie tangled. Caution.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Stars were gonna align for Larson somehow. lol

 

[Turtle84]

oof at that song choice

 

[AdoubleU24]

Stars were gonna align for Larson somehow. lol

Nope he's done and should give up, haven't you read?!

Every. Single. Commercial. Here. Is. A. Trump. Ad.

Every. One.

I might turn this race off just to get away from the ads.

 

[Mike Crayne]

At least next week we wont have to put up with political adds.

[nascarwoman]

Good race so far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Did anyone else expect more from SVG in the second half of the season?

 

[Brentford]

I really went into this one thinking HMS will manage to get one into the final 4. Didn’t really think Byron would overtake him in points.
