2018 Talladega -- 1000BULBS.COM 500 - Pre-Race Thread

[Kiante]

Kurt is two in a half tenths faster.

Roush-Yates engines at its finest.

I knew somebody was going to break up that foursome.

Round 1 - SHR top 4, HMS next 4... when the last time that happened.

Ludicrous speed

I think they left a plug wire or two off Larson's car............34th.

That team falls apart at this time every single year.

All NASCAR Cup cars except Corey LaJoie passed postqualifying technical inspection at Talladega. LaJoie, who was set to start 39th, will have an official starting spot of 40th. https://es.pn/2NFFDVQ

LaJoie car has passed on the second time through. Tech complete.

Parity....Am I right @StandOnIt? No worries, next year's rule package should take care of that, shouldn't it?

In all honesty, I love the Ford dominance. Doug Yates is an awesome part of this sport (as was his Dad), and I love a dominant manufacturer. Ford's race to lose, and I like the role of the underdog. Let's go!

Fords have gone way over kill on skew.

Not in the eyes of the inspectors.

I didn't say they broke any rules.

Dega is never anyone’s race to lose.

Yep.

Well said. I agree.

You think they will suffer in the pack?

No changes to restrictor plate. Apparently nascar ok with the closing rate.

Boyer said they drive like crap.

Maybe the truth or BS.

You'd think 1000bulbs.com would sponsor a race under the lights but, hey, what do I know . . . .

Bowyer isn't a very good driver so I wouldn't really trust his assessment.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I think besides when they did group qualifying this is the fastest they've qualified at Talladega this century? Crazy how quick they've gotten these cars.

Interesting. Penskes have definitely set up for handling. Gonna be fun. Toyotas are draggy, but they qualified better than usual. Chevys are in the mix for sure. Love this.

Engines fired. Stages 55-55-78. NBC MRN. Larson, LaJoie, Cassill to the rear for unapproved adjustments.

I believe that's against the law in several states . . . .
