Cup RACE thread --- 600

[TexasRaceLady]

OK. Caught my breath from all the excitement of the 500, now it's time to go for 600.
Here's hoping for as great a race as we had from Indy.

 

[Old Kid]

I can't imagine it matching that other race they ran today but I'm here for the duration.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hoping for a good one.

 

[nickp]

going to be another long night ahead

 

[StandOnIt]

must be an important "small piece"

 

[AdoubleU24]

Love Tyson Fury

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Love Tyson Fury

I had to Google the name. I was disappointed to learn it wasn't a new spicy chicken sandwich.

 

[aunty dive]

I like the bag-pipes.

 

[DewChaser988]

As somebody from a military family.. Thank you to all fallen servicemen..

I don't hate our military, I hate big corporate interests sending our servicemen and service women off to die in the Middle East to fatten their wallets.

That's what I hate..

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Go 2, 19, 9 and 5 !!!

 

[Nitro Dude]

That is cranking your team up Pitbull style.

Funny, I hate elected officials who claim they support our military. What they really support are building large weapons systems in their districts and the resulting contributions; not better pay, housing, or benefits for service members.

 

[carolinabuff]

I love the bag-pipes.

FIFY

 

[Nitro Dude]

I love seeing Leno in the mix.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Engines fired!

Same

 

[Kiante]

Let's have some fun.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I love seeing Leno in the mix.

Would have been good to hear him in the mix.

 

[carolinabuff]

The pre-race for the 600 is amazing with all the military, bagpipes playing Amazing Grace, and the playing of Taps.

And that story on Jason Dunham was something. True hero

 

[Old Kid]

I like the bag-pipes.

I actually have a CD of bagpipe music and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

 

[DewChaser988]

I swear NASCAR had better NOT screw with the Coke 600 tradition

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I actually have a CD of bagpipe music and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I would be. You should have ripped that to MP3s long ago, like I did with my Irish folk tunes.

I'm a low-tech redneck.

 

[nickp]

For as long as I live the prerace ceremonies of the Coca Cola 600 will always be the best in sports and always bring a tear to my eye

 

[Nitro Dude]

Would have been good to hear him in the mix.

You would love to sit in on John Forces Christmas party and listen to Leno and Chip Foose talking hot rods.

 

[Kiante]

Hope everyone tested their pit road speeds.

They are not going down pitlane tonight to test it.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

You would love to sit in on John Forces Christmas party and listen to Leno and Chip Foose talking hot rods.

Certainly.

I was just crapping on the awful mic set up from the command. Couldn’t hear a gotdam thang.

 

[antman12]

LETS GOOOOO!!!

 

[jws926]

And here we go

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Let's go racing ya'll!!

 

[Nitro Dude]

Certainly.

I was just crapping on the awful mic set up from the command. Couldn’t hear a gotdam thang.

I knew that and I felt the same way.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chase Elliott taking the Indianapolis 500 backstretch line.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Settled in the recliner. Snacks and beverages close at hand.

 

[Greg]

You would love to sit in on John Forces Christmas party and listen to Leno and Chip Foose talking hot rods.

Did you mis-spell push rods?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

LaJoie trying to lose it on lap 10.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Guess we don’t get the side by side commercials like the 500

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Lmao 9 laps in, commercial time and no side by side.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Guess we don’t get the side by side commercials like the 500

I500 is an international broadcast.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Guess we don’t get the side by side commercials like the 500

Why would we? NASCAR has a history of using this race as their commercial-a-thon. Don't expect more than 20 green flag laps of consecutive coverage at any point tonight.
