2019 Clash RACE thread

[DSquad48]

I’m ready for Jimmie’s black hat season

 

[FLRacingFan]

Jimmie "Austin Dillon" Johnson

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

That's a wrap. Not really noteworthy outside the rain and the big one. Hopefully the Duels are better and cleaner.

 

[Efisher131]

What a fantastic "race" can't wait for the extended version next Sunday

 

[JBone88]

If the 48 puts a bulldozer plow on the front of that Camero he might end his winless streak this year.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I really wanted to see those final laps

 

[SeventyGTX]

What a completely lame day of racing....dude wrecks the whole field, literally and will win under rain delay.

As usual for him, does not own up to a mistake.

 

[machinistman3]

Menard didn't come down, I'm sorry.

I’m just repeating what he said.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Race sucked but great to have NASCAR back

 

[mack]

What's the difference in how JJ won this, and how Dillon won the 500 last year?

 

[Turtle84]

My bold prediction is shot if this is over

Lol 1 exhibition race in.

 

[StandOnIt]

I’m ready for Jimmie’s black hat season

yeah, he kinda has a black one..never too late for a run at the intimidator role

There isnt one lol

 

[Flyer22]

I mean, can you imagine paying for that event??

 

[be9ak7ts16]

3/20th's of the cars made it through unscathed.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Sorry but this is exactly why no other sport has announcers with a vested interest in a participant calling events. Watching Gordon (and the other two) tapdance around Jimmie's move is embarrassing - from a lifelong Gordon homer.

Fan allegiances. As usual

 

[DIDIT]

21 came down too.

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Of course after he was hit by Jimmie he came down.

 

[Ashstrodamus]

Total garbage.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Johnson knows he got away with one....in his post race interview to Vince Welch, "don't let this car run you over".

My one criticism of Jeff as a broadcaster. Total HMS ballwasher.

 

[REBS31]

Would be really entertaining if this spawned a Menard vs JJ feud

I agree, I like Jeff in the booth, but he showed clearly today that he has no business being in the booth as he is way to biased towards anything HMS

Move it back to Saturday so you get a day's worth of action with 500 practice and ARCA. Not sure why this needs to be by itself on Sunday, unless you like watching 500 qualifying for some reason.

 

[Hotrod]

Its official - I am growing weary of the big ones. Decades ago they were amazing
that many cars could be involved in one wreck, now it just ruins a good finish.
Is it possible these drivers are not capable of avoiding the big one? They are the ones
with the steering wheels.

I don't think JJ did it on purpose, I think Dillon did same result though. Dillon admits to wrecking Almirola. Johnson made a mis

 

[FearThe4]

good to see Jimmie back in victory lane.

I'd move it closer to 500 weekend.....with the costs of being down there, really no reason to be down there for 2 separate weekends anymore.

Not to mention Gordon's somewhat cringeworthy voice.

Not with that forecast. The days of having to buy tickets in advance are gone, unless you want a specific seat. Wait until a week out before making a commitment.

DW said plainly Johnson made a mistake. Gordon explained about the larger splitter and tried to blame it on that. ah yeah but kinda weak.IMO.

I would love to the Clash ran Saturday night after the Xfinity race, make that a double header.

$$$$$

 

[DIDIT]

This may be one of the most disappointing NASCAR races from a fan perspective I have ever watched.

 

[Spotter22]

Really? How would you know what was gonna happen?Its racing lol

 

[JJ_14]

JJ probably didn't do it on purpose, but it would've been cool to see Menard & the Wood Brothers in victory lane. Johnson will get some backlash from this. At least it was a non points paying race, but still.

Yeah, Jeff started to defend JJ after that.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I can see the headlines now..

"JIMMIE JOHNSON VS PAUL MENARD.
Most boring NASCAR feud of all time?"

 

[mack]

My one criticism of Jeff as a broadcaster. Total HMS ballwasher.

Yep, seems to have a bit of a struggle telling the truth about what happened.

 

[2 Sweet]

Go Jimmie!
