Cup RACE thread --- 600

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's get this show going.

 

[nickp]

Two days of rain but the sun is out and we’re finally here

 

[Speedbowl14]

The greatest weekend and then some in racing. Hell...Xfinity race could be ending on Tuesday for most of you back east lol.

 

[DanicaFreak]

hard to believe they call of xfin yet here we are for cup

 

[jws926]

Perfect timing, just returned home with lunch, ready for racing.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Yikes on those bagpipes

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Seeing those sailors doing the gun salute, made me remember my Dad's service at Arlington not too many years ago.
He was a Navy pilot in the Pacific.

 

[DanicaFreak]

love it when they get servicemembers to do the anthem

 

[Mike Crayne]

OohRah Marine!

The only thing better is when a Armed Services band plays the anthem.

 

[AwesomeBill18]

Chase gets his first win of the year today

 

[AdoubleU24]

Was that Chase shaking hands with Marcus Smith post-anthem? The fix is in!

 

[Speedbowl14]

I always think of the soldiers of WWI and WWII these recent Memorial Days. Horrific conditions. The WWII guys are still alive but I feel like they've been forgotten about unfortunately.

 

[nickp]

The Coca Cola 600 pre-race ceremonies never get old

Second coming of NASCAR jesus to victory lane?

Vietnam vets are the really forgotten ones. My husband was one, along with his brother.

That was a really good anthem

 

[Spotter22]

We here, we ready but a little unsteady!

 

[Speedbowl14]

Air Titans are probably the most underrated great idea by NASCAR in recent history, BTW. Never get enough appreciation compared to what it used to be. No matter what once the track was lost in the jet dryer days it was guaranteed to be at least 1.5 hours no matter the track, usually 2.5 hours on the bigger tracks.

Agree. They sing it with respect instead of attempting their own version like so many "national recording artists" do.

 

[AdoubleU24]

They're obviously friends but Tony looks at Clint as if to say "What in the hell are you even talking about?" every time he speaks and it's hilarious

They do it the best IMO

Juan montoya agrees

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Looks like a pretty good crowd, too.

Exactly!

Thank you for those Brian France, as unpopular as he was, he made that happen.

 

[carolinabuff]

Made it and we're finally dry!

 

[antman12]

Current view…my Logano championship flag flys all July at my behest because my uncle lost the bet

 

[Speedbowl14]

The Jimmie/Chad and Larson/Cliff comparison at this point in their careers is mind boggling.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Oof… live bleed in on national tv of the radios. Clint played it off at least. Was it someone hacking in a la Bubba or just interference from local radios like concessions and EMS?

 

[racer8]

Drop the rag , let’s get thing going

 

[Speedbowl14]

A new piece of decor... whoo whoo!

My friend gave it to me and he flew out from back East. We're going to the fall Vegas race and we're joking about *if* Ryan Preece wins while we're there we're gonna make sure every person there knows about it hahaha.

 

[jws926]

Finally, The Coke 600 is green

 

[DanicaFreak]

nice to brad up there

 

[Speedbowl14]

Bryon is going to dominate I feel it

 

[Spotter22]

Reddick getting nice runs wrapping the bottom. Top lane will come in later I think

good to see the 5 and 24 nail setup while AG is out to lunch again! (My one and only 9 fan whine today. Pinky swear.)
