2018 Darlington -- Bojangles Southern 500 - Pre-Race Thread

[TexasRaceLady]

Is that a Bull embroidered on that sign?

Looks like something on the other side --- but can't tell what. It could just be a repair, too.

 

[carolinabuff]

Did Jr just say this is the longest race of the season?

 

[Spotter22]

We good yall. Dont worry about the rain.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Green flag 6:15....

 

[StandOnIt]

What's so ridiculous is with the new points system with the win and your in supposedly taking the points out of the equation, points are all they talk about now all race long.

Greetings from Pearson Tower, section L, row 33!

Enjoy the race my friend

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Green flag 6:15....

Lightning delay. Aiming for 6:30.


Which means 7:15

 

[Blaze]

Guess they went all in with throwback weekend having Hanson there lol.

 

[Spotter22]

More lightning. But we will be good. Its just South Carolina

 

[Blaze]

Are they going by to have to black flag Burton like they did Petty last year?

That's all they will talk about until the last lap at Homestead. It's going to drive me.....

They have grown up a bit since the last time we seen them lol

I'm hoping the last car to make the cut off isn't close this year, I don't want to watch half the race like last year watching to see if Stenhouse makes it it. Ugh.

Why does NASCUR allow and obviously encourage a singer to massacre our National Anthem ????

Tracks sign the singer. But I do agree -- most massacre the anthem.

If they're worried so much about lightning that theres a delay then shouldn't they get the fans and spotters to go lower??

 

[19USMC69]

Does the Darlington track have any individual seats or is it all bench seating?

 

[Spotter22]

They did. You cant make people move. As for the spotters, that grain elevator takes us back to the ground and some wont go lol

College girls have been wearing jean shorts for years. Thats not an intentional throwback, its current fashion trends.

Making NASCAR sound like your old stepdad that says “I found it on the googles”.

Last year the Coke 600 took almost an hour longer to run, just and FYI to Pockrass

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Command to start engines at 7pm.

With weather in area Im not sure why competition doesnt dispense with the pleasantries.

Just get the green flag out. Thats why everyone watches.

 

[DSquad48]

Drivers to their cars!

 

[FenderBumper]

Hopefull that really is a clear area the rain is moving out

Radar is all green. That means they're good to go.

he said often rivals, and that can be taken any way.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

we need a weather report from our Racing Forum at track reporter Charlie Spenser

scattered around the track but no rain here. Ran us out of the stands but I think we’ll get it all in. Wasn’t that long ago they didn’t start until 7 anyway.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Does the Darlington track have any individual seats or is it all bench seating?

individual except Corbin on the back.

 

[Gangrene Hockey #43]

This race weekend looks so much fun. I think i got to go next year. I might have to breakdown and get the airstream my girlfriend keeps requesting. I want to see a Rousch or Petty car in playoffs. Come on Bubba or Kenseth!

 

[Kiante]

That 69 Camaro though.

Man, I'd love to have one.

Logano's car is gorgeous and I really dig the love for Steve Park. Very underrated driver, just what he could have been without the injuries.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I dont care who is in the car but seeing that rainbow warrior on track is just awesome.
