2016 Dover - AAA 400 Drive for Autism - Pre Race Thread

[Clutch]

We've always got the decline in television ratings. That seems to be a popular topic. I just hope that it's no longer about lug nuts.

We could rehash Talladega.....

 

[LouieLouie]

I have high hopes for Dover this weekend. I think the low df package is right on the money for this place. The track has some big bumps/dips which help get the cars a little squirrely.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Trick question?

If they don't get qualifying in they start by points.

Uh, I believe it's ...

If they don't get qualifying in, they start by practice speeds.

If they don't get practice in, they start by points.

I think.

Todd Berrier will be crew chief for Kyle Busch this weekend at Dover.

That guy has worked everywhere.

What is NASCAR's procedure for setting the starting line up if qualifying is rained out?

Next, I'll take loose lug nuts for $40.

Alas, 'tis as gone as Tony's title chances.

You just don't see Dover filled like this anymore.....

You don't see many tracks filled like that anymore.

do u draw the sticky notes or save the pictures from the cup garages?

Those are from the NASCAR Weatherman, Brain Neudorff. He's usually pretty good with his predictions.
If I were to draw those things, Miles would be a stick figure. That wouldn't look so good.

 

[R Clarence]

"Brain" Neudorff?

Hey, I typed it at 5:19am. It don't get much closer than that.

If there are heats in sprint next year this will be my last hometown race

 

[Greg]

I have always liked Dover. Unique and the track has character.
Hope it always has two Cup dates.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Make sure that you take plenty of pics while you're there then. You'll want to cherish those fond memories.

 

[4tires17gals]

No, no relation. I do have an Uncle Frank though.

grid set by practice.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

 

[aunty dive]

Gloomy Friday.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Gloomy Friday.

the 13th at that.

from @nascarasm

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, the forecast sucks but that's one of the better 'Stickies'.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

grid set by practice.

Grid set by points; practice ain't gonna happen.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Xfinity on the track now for practice..... FS1

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Bubba Wallace tests out the safer barrier just 3 laps into practice. The good news is..... The wall held up just fine. Bad news is..... Bubba Wallace to the backup car.

 

[R Clarence]

Ahhh... Set by points.

Will Harvick take the inside or outside? Will Busch lead the first lap? More importantly, will Harvick refuse to drive a ford (lower case intended) next year? Will the moderator leave this post up?

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Jeb Burton also decides to test out the inside safer barrier. Similar results to Bubba Wallace. Miles the Monster is smiling.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Looks like some of the Xfinity regulars are hell bent on bending the hell out of their race cars today. Not a good idea with the pending weather.

 

[aunty dive]

Gloomy Friday.

the 13th at that.

I was completely unaware. Thanks so much for reminding me.

If I can't find my bicycle helmet, I'll be staying indoors all day.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Cup regular Paul Menard joins the Safer Barrier Reality Tour along with Jeb Burton and Bubba Wallace.

What do Paul Menard, Jeb Burton and Bubba Wallace's primary cars all have in common with overheated bread.....?

They're all toast!

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Never thought of it but it is interesting none the less.....

@bobpockrass

For those asking about Xfinity format tomorrow if weather comes in, NASCAR must run heat races to completion & half main for official race.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

 

[dpkimmel2001]

They really need to flatten that banking so this doesn't happen anymore.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Cup practice on now..... FS1
