Discount Darrell Waltrip in the booth with Mike Joy.

He’s pretty horrible tonight. The whole “who’s he waving to” bit is already tired

He’s been horrible. But he was hired to be just like Jaws.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Trackhouse looking good

 

[AdoubleU24]

HMS going sub 50?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

HMS going sub 50?

Yep. Damn

 

[kkfan91]

Yep. Damn

And Bowman even faster

 

[Kiante]

Once again, merging engine shops of HMS and ECR was the best thing going for GM backed teams.

 

[StandOnIt]

The hack up on top

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

When it’s that close, is it coming down to thousandths on the launch from pit road?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

HMs going to go 1-2-3-4

 

[kkfan91]

And Byron faster still down the back

 

[jws926]

And Bowman even faster

And Bryon even faster

 

[AdoubleU24]

These guys are gonna have to cash in on this speed at some point. See this every year.

 

[jws926]

No surprise HMS just went 1-2-3-4

 

[HoneyBadger]

“Parity.”

I wait for the annual Penske dumping of the 9 while Chase is blamed for being aggressive.

Haven't even raced yet.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Haven't even raced yet.

Single car is one thing. The draft is another. If they’re doing this on 1.5s, get me some popcorn

 

[jws926]

Trackhouse came to play, got both cars in the top 10.

I’m so glad qualifying is back across the board this year. I’ve really enjoyed watching this tonight

 

[AdoubleU24]

Clearly their ticker and ghost car aren't matching lol

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Chokin’ Chase.
Went too high in apex of 1-2 and blew it

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Good lord Alex

7 of the 8 last 500 poles for Hendrick. They haven’t won one of them yet

It's not the race.

Qualifying means less here. I'm just ready to see the duels and get an idea of whom is tuned up and ready to go.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson finds some more speed, pole winner

Front row for the 500

It's funny because I remember someone in the media talking how they haven't raced good the last few years and HMS may change setups to have to better in the race

Get a feel for a couple laps at speed in the pack first imo. Bigger pack than practice.

I missed qualifying because I was eating dinner.

Yikes, another obnoxious Revman post

I thought it was because of the tears in your eyes. Did Kyle qualify?
