2019 Clash RACE thread

Well,

Raintona International Speedway. If I had a dollar for every hour of rain delay I've sat thru here I could buy us all a Martinsville hot dog.

Well that's Florida for you

Looks like the rest of the rain will be to the north and south of the track.

Got an email last week, 1 ticket, 2 dogs, 2 pepsis and 1 fanvision for the March Race for $96. I wonder what the group rate is?

Wow, that's a heck of a deal. Very tempting to get in the car for 8 hours and check that one off the bucket list.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Restart lap 13.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Penske affiliated and Penske cars are 1-2-3-4.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I love the sound of the pack going by

Mustangs looking good

Teams are able to work on the cars under a red flag. #nascar

All those empty seats look sad

Paul Menard is absolutely thrilled to be leading this race. Ecstatic.

 

[DewChaser988]

I hope the Gen 7 car and engine are designed to deter freight training like this

The Ferds are fast. No problems with the new body for them anyway.

82,000 people at the 2012 Bud Shootout. Maybe 5,000 there today?

This race could use a shot in the arm of tandem racing or any racing for that matter. Please let them be able to pass here again. There is a certain lack of entertainment when nobody is able to do anything.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Almost everyone hits pit road.

 

[FLRacingFan]

25 laps into 2019 and we already have "single file, boring" and "sad attendance is sad" covered.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Oh no! Almirolyyyy!!

they have pretty much eliminated any form of pushing, they put another strip down low so the car behind can't get any air when they are pushing...last race with the plate.

 

[Brentford]

No stages and no points means there is no reason to run hard up till the caution. Things should start to look up once we go back green.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I think they're just taking it easy.. to finish first, first you must finish.

I spit up my coffee. Sterling is funny as hell on twitter.

Not sure about the empty seats. They never bother me. I mean I'm sitting at home so I'm part of that problem but yeah, single file racing is not very entertaining to me. I'd like to see these driver's be able to mix it up on the track a bit. That's not a lot to ask.

Don't forget the Paul Menard excited meme, first one of 2019.

Really? This is nothing new.

It cracked me up.

 

[AdoubleU24]

LOL at this lineup. It's so screwed.

 

[DewChaser988]

Really? This is nothing new.

It rarely ever used to be the entire field though

 

[Spotter22]

Are people here really sursprised that they are running single file? Everyone here thats been a fan for more then 10 years should know this can happen and we all know whats gonna happen when it gets down to the crunch, its gonna fan out.

 

[Spotter22]

its 20 cars and Ive seen it many times.

I just flipped it on a minute ago so I don’t know how it’s been, but it was just a crack at the usual R-F race thread bingo items. I’d expect things to pick up in the second half as @Brentford said.

 

[DewChaser988]

You know what would spice up the Clash, running it on Daytona's Infield Road Course

 

[HoneyBadger]

This looks like a southern short track trying to figure out a restart order.

probably so.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Trouble sorting out the line up. Nothing new here.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Announcers: "Hey NASCAR.. what happened?"

NASCAR: ""

figure 8

 

[FLRacingFan]

Race Control already in midseason form.

 

[Flyer22]

They have wasted 7 laps just trying to figure who should be where on the track...only NASCAR.

 

[sdj]

What we need is some more damn caution laps!
