Cup RACE thread --- Darlington

[Dr_B_UNC]

Willy B laying it on them. Is this luck???

This is a flat out ass whipping. More of a referendum on how awful this car is. They’ve managed to make Darlington unwatchable.

 

[LibertyU24]

Gonna be pretty crazy if we see the 24 lead every lap today.

Id love to see it, but its gonna take some luck. Green flag pit stops will kill it.

Yeah need yellows most likely.. but they haven't been rare

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bowman with toe jam.

 

[Blaze]

Can't believe Byron has been so lucky today

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Can't believe Byron has been so lucky today

I'd put that car in bubble wrap until Labor Day.

 

[Blaze]

Imagine a caution comes out late, and then William gets passed on the last lap so he leads all but the last lap..

 

[kkfan91]

Well Hamlin led that one

 

[Blaze]

Nvm he pitted so now he ain't led them all.

 

[nascarwoman]

Byron must have really hit the setup today.

 

[TheJester]

Well damn the 24 has a lot of work to do now

 

[SlicedBread22]

I swear Mike Joy pays attention to nothing at the entire track other than what is showing on the TV.. He is often wrong about where cars are running. He'll say a car is making a pass when they are the car being passed. These guys just completely forgot the 45 and 22 were ahead of the 20 because they didn't pit on the same lap. There was something else earlier in the race that was basically the same. He needs to just stop mentioning driver positions or something.

 

[DIDIT]

Fingers crossed for green to the checker to watch this play out.

This. I was sure they were ahead of Byron but the booth said otherwise.

SVG in 22nd. Good run for him here.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Damn the 24 really dropped the ball here.. no way he catches up 6 seconds he's not even gaining at all right now.

 

[AdoubleU24]

This situation here perfectly sums up this pathetic nextgen car

 

[Greg]

What happened to Bubba Wallace? He was faster early in the race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What happened to Bubba Wallace? He was faster early in the race.

Got caught in the pit cycle yellow and then lost more ground staying out late on the last stop. Must not be worth much in traffic.

 

[Brentford]

Cars seem fast until they catch the guy in front of them.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I don't know why these guys act like someone is about to gain 5 seconds in 16 laps.. I don't see it.. they hyped up Byron too lol

Edit nevermind lol

 

[Charlie Spencer]

15 laps, 5.5 seconds, and we're wearing sunglasses.

 

[Efisher131]

It might be close at the finish? Someone irrelevant is crashing for sure.

 

[SlicedBread22]

1.8 second gain in 3 laps damn

 

[SlicedBread22]

Reddick taps the wall and they don't even mention it lol

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m shocked Willy B can’t get back up there to challenge

 

[SlicedBread22]

I’m shocked Willy B can’t get back up there to challenge

Yeah I'm surprised too I thought it was a given

 

[2 Sweet]

Go Blaney!

 

[Greg]

It is a great thing seeing a long late green run with a 2nd place car chasing down the leader.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Oh boy

 

[BobbyFord]

Maybe Larson should go home now

 

[kkfan91]

And that's why the DVP was a thing

 

[SlicedBread22]

Looked like a replay of lap 4

 

[Blaze]

Larson wrecks at the start and end wow

 

[Efisher131]

Yeah and it’s Larson who has been irrelevant all day

 

[AdoubleU24]

Somebody get this guy off the track lol

 

[antman12]

F*** off Larson. 150 laps down.

 

[Brentford]

Larson's like "I was the first to crash...might as well be the last as well."

 

[Charlie Spencer]

DAMN!

 

[DIDIT]

Dang nab it

 

[TexasRaceLady]

"This changes everything"!!! LOL
