Chicago RACE thread.

Chicagoland Speedway records: 23 lead changes among 16 drivers.

Hendrick is smart enough to have a secret engine detonation button in all of his cars.

If so it worked really well....that baby went off like a Vega

 

[Nitro Dude]

I've been laying on the couch watching the race and Dale just blew up.

When Jr blows up he does it right.

 

[StandOnIt]

Dale Jr talked it over with Cole Witt, miss fourth and stand on it until she blows.

As a Toyota fan, I don't feel so bad tonight. Fords and Chevys are blowing up too

yeah right..might help ya feel better with two of em on the front row.

Why didn't Jr see the temp rising?

 

[FenderBumper]

Instead of "things that go bump in the night", we have things that go BOOM in the night.

5 hour delay on them grenades.

 

[racer8]

Why didn't Jr see the temp rising?

A couple laps earlier he said temp 140

 

[FenderBumper]

Dale Jr.s pit crew, looks at the end result... lol

nice catch. Why didn't he see the temps rising?

 

[beantownkid10]

Gordon already up to 13th

 

[Reck]

Yeah Gordon should barely squak in a top 10.

Yet another good car wasted. Thank you for your efforts Alan.

 

[KevinWI]

If it wasn't the engine what was it? Oil line break?

 

[BobbyFord]

24 looking racy

 

[FenderBumper]

A couple laps earlier he said temp 140

Strange set of circumstances for sure. It wasn't intentional, just inept.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Gordon is hauling.

 

[beantownkid10]

Yeah Gordon should barely squak in a top 10.

Yet another good car wasted. Thank you for your efforts Alan.

Seriously?

Once again, if he took tires on that stop it would have been rights only. Left rear still would have had a hole.

 

[Racer1930]

Danica cruising in 23rd...not bad.

 

[BobbyFord]

I wonder if Jeff gave Clint the finger when he went by?

 

[beantownkid10]

51 has Hendrick parts right?

Team orders to get Jeff back in it....nice.

 

[Reck]

Algair is getting one hell of a welcome party.

 

[FenderBumper]

...and Jeff bumps someone. Maybe Truex should wreck him in the corner.

 

[KevinWI]

Allgaier looks like an ass in his first Cup race. That's his second spin out.

 

[BSDShoes]

VERY nice recovery Justin.

... you missed Danica.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not a good debut for Allgaier.

 

[ToyYoda]

Allgaier wasn't itchy, he just sucks.

 

[BobbyFord]

Any takers on pit road?

 

[beantownkid10]

There you go Alan. Gordon stays out.

 

[Jeffrey00]

Looks like Kyle didn't maintain his speed.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Not a good debut for Allgaier.

He's been running in the high 20's until this spin. Sounds respectable enough to me.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is going to be an interesting closing stretch.

 

[BobbyFord]

This will be interesting to see if these tires make a difference.

 

[DSquad48]

Chad: "Well, this is gonna be painful. Better go forward this restart."

 

[FenderBumper]

Harvick playing head games.

 

[FLRacingFan]

He's been running in the high 20's until this spin. Sounds respectable enough to me.

Half the field blew up though. Not terrible, but certainly a rough welcoming.

 

[FenderBumper]

This will be interesting to see if these tires make a difference.

They haven't done much in the short run all night. If anyone takes 4, they are fools.

 

[DSquad48]

Jeff up to 7th with fresher tires!

 

[BobbyFord]

Well, it ain't gonna come down to fuel

 

[StandOnIt]

Chad: "Well, this is gonna be painful. Better go forward this restart."

hope so but I don't see how, he wasn't getting anywhere on the leaders. Stenhouse in 6th, not bad for a rookie.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Gordon if there is ever a time for you to actually go on a restart its now

 

[FLRacingFan]

I thought they were good on fuel?

 

[FenderBumper]

Jeff up to 7th with fresher tires!

That's a hell of a come back.
