2019 Charlotte – All Star Race-- Pre-Race Thread

[StandOnIt]

If it doesn't rain, the track is going to have some grip alright.

Bold prediction: Chris Buescher will win one of the all star open stages. All of his fans (me) will go bonkers

You and @2 Sweet lol

Buescher has probably been the best driver nobody has talked about this year. He's been carrying his portion of the Chevy banner just fine.

 

[StandOnIt]

Buescher is getting a bit of time under his belt and he is starting to get salty. I hope he keeps it up.

I didn't think that they released this info until after the open.

That's what I thought too. I'm surprised to see this.

I think I'll skip this one but looking forward to the 600.
I remember back when crews were worried about blowing a mill during a 600 mile race.

Come on man, it's worth watching for the Qualifying alone. It's curazy!

Not my cup of tea

I only remember them unveiling the top few early in the week in alphabetical order or something the last few years. Definitely not in actual order like this.

Am I the only one who thinks the MRN/PRN video stream with the leaderboard on NASCAR.com is better than watching a Fox Sports practice?

Nostrils are going to be sponsor nightmares cutting off letters on the hood...lol

Bowman was on Sirius this morning and asked the fans to quit voting for him. Said if he cant win his way in he doesnt wanna race.

 

[Spotter22]

Kinda surprised we didnt see any multi car drafting in 2 full practices today. Very strange.

I'm guessing this refers to abbreviated sponsor names on the entry list. If that's not it, I'd like to buy a clue, Pat.

Hood vents took up sponsor space, nothing major though

Real question. Are they racing for 1 million dollars? And, do they actually get the 1 million dollars or are they on a contract?

Always wondered that as well. Gotta take care of the crew.

As I herd on a cheesy garage shows I hate myself for watching -- "when the train comes in, everybody rides"...

 

[Pat]

2 hours for qualifying???

 

[Kiante]

2 hours for qualifying???

One hour for the open and all-star race.

 

[AdoubleU24]

 

[Johali]

Yeah Riiight. Excuses excuses.

 

[StandOnIt]

Hemric on the pole for the open race, RCR cars are fast this week. Dillion was fastest in the final practice.

Its tinker time !!!! More rear down force will require more front down force which will require more rear down force which will require more front down force which will require more rear down force which will require more front down force which will be fine if there is no traffic then we need more rear down force which will require more front down force etc. etc Teeter totter tinkering


NASCAR shills will respond shortly

 

[Kiante]

McDowell looks fast, but I wonder just how much downforce was trimmed off of Hemric? Or if he had a bit more downforce because he made 3 and 4 look effortless.

 

[Kiante]

Man they botched Chase's pit-stop badly.

I think he already did.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Smh his tire changers are terrible

 

[kyle18fan]

I think he already did.

I missed it working lots of hours lately

 

[AdoubleU24]

Oh dear lord. Come on NASCAR.

 

[Kiante]

How is that a penalty? That's a horrible call by the officials. They called it off, I was about to say.

 

[HoneyBadger]

All-Star Qualifying is so awesome. Watching them wide open on pit road, and seeing how consequential pit stops are.

I just wish Fox would list all the crew members names when they come down pit road.

 

[Turtle84]

Uncontrolled tire when you take it off, it's uncontrolled, therefore uncontrolled, is uncontrolled, uncontrolled.

 

[Pat]

I like this format for qualifying.

 

[Turtle84]

Now this is what you would call...COMING IN HOT!

Denny has been practicing all season for tonight's ASR qualifying
