2017 Richmond - Toyota Owners 400 - Pre Race Thread

Damn...........

Buescher 19th after the first round in that bad JTG ride.

Go ahead, dude.

Who said that?

JTG has more sponsorship than most teams. Hell they are supposed to be adding Dell as a sponsor as well.

 

[R Clarence]

Works for me.

 

[R Clarence]

Good on ya, Spencer.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Guys having fun in the booth. I enjoy it. Don't care what the DW haters say.

I enjoy DW during practice, Q, rain delays, etc. He seems more relaxed, less inclined to jump to conclusions. It's that period between the command and the checkers that I can't stand him.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Austin Dillon rolls out for Q and deliberately posts a lap in the low 80mph range, apparently with the goal of saving his tires for the race. I've been waiting all year for someone to try it.

I too enjoy DW during everything but the race, he is just different during the race.

Ryan Blaney is goin' somewhere!

MATT GOT THE POLE!

What a great way to introduce a new sponsor!

Keep in mind, he was going to start last no matter what speed he posted.

Austin's team had been penalized for failing inspection like 5 times at Bristol, and part of that penalty was starting from the back and losing pit stall choice regardless of qualifying, so it didn't make any sense to waste tires on qualifying.

However I don't understand why he even went out and did the slow lap. Couldn't he have just elected to not qualify. Johnson didn't attempt to qualify at Fontana. So unless they changed a rule since Fontana not sure why he did the one slow lap unless it was some kind of protest statement over the penalty.

Low 90s this weekend, high 60s next weekend.

As long as it's clear I guess.

I missed that somehow. Thanks.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Happy Birthday Dale

At the end of Xfinity qualifying Adam Alexander called Shannon Spake Shannon Spank and kept trying to correct it. Idiot. Calling @Greg

Labor Day weekend

 

[Mispeedway15]

I shoulda went to the race this weekend. Socked in with rain and fog, temps in the low 50s here in Toledo, I'll take some summer warmth and short track racing gladly

Uh, April 29, 1951…………………………………...

Someone may wanna recalculate. Take it from someone else from that magic year.

I'm not one on specific dates....... as they usually mean nothing..... unless the cops pull you over and you find your license just expired by 1 day....... then...... Dates DO mean something......

I think Kyle Busch rubbed off on Suarez.

 

[aunty dive]

I certainly hope so.

The Waltrip grid walk is dreadful

 

[RacerrecaR]

I gotta admit...I enjoy the gridwalk.

Wow. Daniel with the direct hit.

 

[Racer1930]

Outstanding Anthem...

 

[S.C.]

Come on, Trevor Bayne!!

 

[Johali]

I gotta admit...I enjoy the gridwalk.

 

[RacerrecaR]

It's hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Kind of like watching amateur stand-up at a small comedy club...but the comedian only has an I.Q. of 70...and everyone in the audience is stoned out of their minds. THAT kind of hilarious.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

@TexasRaceLady, would you mind opening the race discussion? Thanks!

 

[Greg]

Maybe a tough day for Dale Juniors. They said he he is running a Nationwide car. They went to Xfinty a few years ago. That makes the car at least 3 or 4 years old

Sponsor, not series.

 

[Efisher131]
