2019 Xfinity Series Thread

[FLRacingFan]

Mid-Ohio entry list. Can Cendric make it two in a row?

Will Rodgers has had a lot of road course success in K&N Pro, impressed Harvick at Sonoma a couple of years ago.

Chris Dyson will be in a DGM car. The ringer is alive and well in Xfinity.

 

[JBone88]

That whole iK9/Earnhardt thing has been bizarre ever since that XCI car he was driving withdrew at Daytona.

I’m putting my money on JGR poaching the sponsor and dumping Jeffery. Which would suck.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Jeffrey got screwed big time.

On the other hand, the road course ringer is not dead. 7 ringers in this race with Hawksworth now in the 18 and Chris Dyson in the 90.
Still no Andy Lally, Katherine Legge or Alon Day, unfortunately.

Lally referred Dyson to DGM. He would've needed an already-funded ride like the Gibbs seat.

 

[StandOnIt]

These cars drive like dump trucks compared to what most of the wringers drive. Will Rogers should do ok coming from the ARCA and K&N side, he came in 2nd at the Glenn and he won at Sonoma in 2018

 

[racingfan7]

Will Rodgers could get a top 10 in that 86 given it's a top 15-20 car in the series with Brandon Brown.

 

[Mike Crayne]

Ik9 has stated that Jeffery cancelled his contract with them.

 

[StandOnIt]

now it's Ford's turn

 

[StandOnIt]

tough start for the ringers, 13th and 14th wrestling the Xfinity cars and Will Rodgers caught on fire a little bit.

 

[racingfan7]

Would be funny if Clements found a way to win another one given he's had decent speed this weekend, then Brandon Jones has to fight his way back into the top 12 lol.

For those who like to see the back of the field

 

[JBone88]

Someone take their Twitters away before the pinching and eye poking starts.

 

[donthaveanickname]

42 cars
Three Cup drivers are entered: Busch, Logano and Jones.
Cassill is back in the #4.
Shane Lee and the #28 are back after skipping the road courses.
Joe Graf Jr. is entered in the #10 (was originally announced to drive the #21, guess they put him in the #10 cause it has more owner points.)

 

[StandOnIt]

Jones is taking Jeffrey Earnhardt's spot in the 81

 

[Mike Crayne]

Eric Mcclure not doing to good. Full dialysis.

[DaBiff1618]

Will be interesting to see what kind of speed that 81 has. Erik is one of the best at Bristol, won here in 2016 and 17 against cuppers. Probably running him to see where this car measures up

Sad to hear, I hope it wasnt caused by any crashes in his career he did get hurt a few times.

 

[StandOnIt]

yep they are loading up the field. Going to be hard for the regulars to beat Kyle and Eric

 

[racingfan7]

Kinda glad to see Jones in the 81 if Kyle is running

 

[StandOnIt]

It would be kinda funny if Eric beat him again..it might start a has Kyle lost a step thread

close rookie race

 

[ahhculdee]

A lot of good rookies in this class.

 

[racingfan7]

A lot of good rookies in this class.

Indeed. Briscoe, Gragson, Haley, JHN all have solid potential. Brandon Brown's team is building something solid ala similar to Ryan Sieg.

Cindric on pole at Bristol.

Joe Graf failed to qualify in the 10 car.

Graf is going to not qualify his way back to ARCA

 

[Kiante]

Graf is going to not qualify his way back to ARCA

Makes me appreciate Kaz Grala a hell of a lot more.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Graf is going to not qualify his way back to ARCA

That's some interesting grammatical construction you gots going on there.

 

[Kiante]

Reddick is going to have a long day:

 

[donthaveanickname]

Joe Graf failed to qualify in the 10 car.

4 attempts, 2 DNQs

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Reddick is going to have a long day:

Pass through will be the kiss of death at a half-mile. He needs to get an immediate caution before the leaders start lapping cars.

 

[Kiante]

4 attempts, 2 DNQs

IMO they should focus on getting Grala at this point. Graf is nowhere near ready yet. Grala should be in the 21 or 10 more regularly, its a shame considering how well he did with Fury last year in the 61.

Grala might be better off in the truck series, IMO. 3 14th-place-finishes are his best results in his 4 races with RCR.
Road America is his last scheuled race this year.

 

[Turtle84]

Cindric on pole at Bristol.

Cindric is on a heater.

 

[StandOnIt]

Now if Cendric would send KDB into the wall in the first turn.

 

[ahhculdee]

Kyle Busch has an easier road to victory now.

 

[kkfan91]

Pass through will be the kiss of death at a half-mile. He needs to get an immediate caution before the leaders start lapping cars.

Well, that worked out for him

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well, that worked out for him

Well, he did get that quick caution, so I don't feel too bad looking back at this one.

Euro series driver hoping for a little rain. Yeah me too

More race cuts for the Cuppers next year

Glad. The days of Cup drivers running the whole series killed a lot of development of younger talent in the late 00s.
