Cup RACE thread --- 500 at Daytona

[nickp]

I want to retire like Harvick!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Pass for the lead under commercial? NASCAR is officially back !

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Fox's 'Grip' graphic reminds me how much better NBC's are

 

[Brentford]

Pass for the lead under commercial? NASCAR is officially back !

Isn't there a pass for the lead roughly every lap here?

I was thinking of a racing themed restaurant earlier and came up with Christopher Bell Peppers as one of the food items.

 

[Hawaii808]

When they gonna start racing?

Patience gauge is at 40%, shenanigans start soon.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Looked pretty full throttle to me lol

 

[donthaveanickname]

Much much much better than what we’ve got.

This is the new one they're using for the international telecasts. They used to have a horizontal ticker until last year.

I still like the Fox pylon better. This one has never shown gaps, speeds or lap times so far, only the manufacturers.

They should just keep 6 plate races but bring back Daytona Speedweeks if Fontana is getting torn down. Seems like a lot of the fanbase likes plate racing..

The Clash @ Daytona oval (15-20 car field)
Daytona 500
Talladega 500
Firecracker 400
Atlanta 500 Regular Season Finale
Talladega 500

Waiting for something to happen

 

[AdoubleU24]

Speedway package definitely needs some work like Denny said. Just can't go much of anywhere without significant help.

 

[Blaze]

I mean not much really can happen besides a wreck. It’s early, be smart lol. You can’t win yet but yet surely can lose.People always like “nothing’s happening waaahh!” But then bitch when someone causes a wreck trying to make something happen. Nascar fans.

Daytona “500 Commercials.”

500-mile race.

 

[DewChaser988]

Glad Jimmie is back in stock cars where he belongs

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Why is Melon Man back there pushing Conor around?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I’m very surprised they are still double file. The past couple years are usually single file by this point

 

[Greg]

Isn't there a pass for the lead roughly every lap here?

Everybody is running same speed Conner Daly even a faster than the leader on a few of the laps.
Equal speeds equal almost no passing.

Try bringing plates to Michigan

Bye-bye, Ty Di

Well that’s how these races go; either nothing is happening or they’re wadding up.
Not much in between.

 

[aunty dive]

Daytona “500 Commercials.”

Why do you suppose the broadcasters are currently paying $ 900 Million per year for the NASCAR product?

 

[kkfan91]

Well it looks like Guns N Roses got the engagement they wanted, cause I just went to see how much they want for tickets and their website is crashed.

 

[racingfan7]

Try bringing plates to Michigan

No thanks. 550 HP already showed what it is vs more HP

 

[wi_racefan]

I'm guessing the 77 is on the "B" motor plan

 

[DewChaser988]

77 blew up like the aftermath of an Arbys and Taco Bell fiesta

 

[Blaze]

Well that’s how these races go; either nothing is happening or they’re wadding up.
Not much in between.

And I rather nothing happen. That’s better than wrecking. Way better.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Try bringing plates to Michigan

That has been tried... Please don't do that again.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Fox is gonna keep showing the 2007 Daytona 500 finish until I yeet my remote through my TV.

 

[LibertyU24]

Joey Who?

 

[donthaveanickname]

And I rather nothing happen. That’s better than wrecking. Way better.

At least they're side by side and not in a train. Two years ago like half the field got wrecked after 20 laps. Can't blame them for playing it safe at this point of the race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No offense to Conor, but based on the car’s performance so far, is there really gonna be that much behind him for him to look at

Lost the draft around lap 30.

That was me, I was trying to download Knockin' on Heaven's door.

 

[Greg]

Hopefully they can do the pit cycle with no cautions, really tight pack somebody probably runs over somebody on the entry.

An RWR ****box goes spinning

 

[FLRacingFan]

Always nice of RWR to remind us they’re competing in the race.

 

[kkfan91]

Herbst gonna Herbst

 

[donthaveanickname]

Kept it green, good job to spare us the first RWRSB caution of the year.
