Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

[MikeInIllinois]

Sounds like MTJ needed 1 more lap and would've won it.

 

[carolinabuff]

Brad's a badass

 

[2019PensekeFan]

All the lappers I saw give Brad and Truex plenty of room. He just ran out of laps.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

HE AINT GONNA WIN THE DAMN WAR

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Martin my boy but Boi if you had the best car why didn’t you lead any laps or win

 

[ReturnTrip]

Jimmie Johnson just now crossed the S/F line.

Proceeds to get smacked at Homestead.

 

[harkin]

Maybe switch from Bass Pro Shops to Midol.

 

[SlicedBread22]

K I'm changing my nomination for bonehead from Preece to Joey's tire guy

Nice to see the Penske speed though.. Joey was catching Brad a bit before he pitted

 

[Pandaz3]

Like Truex said post race, the 19 was the best car ... it just didn't have the best driver!

 

[JBone88]

MTJ fitting in with the fold already.

Had the complete KB ensemble. Sunglasses, goofy fitting hat, and sourpuss interview.

Eh I like flat-billed hats.

They go over that part of the charade at Monday debrief each week.

Hey Brad, not just the helmet, mebbe mix in a Donahue paint scheme too, how cool would that be?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Brad now has the most wins for any Penske driver ever now (60)

 

[Madman88]

drivers, say whatever you want, just don't say anything bad about the new package......

 

[FLRacingFan]

Jimmie Johnson just now crossed the S/F line.

Rookie crew chief who won three Xfinity races in three years maybe not the guy to lead Jimmie to the promised land one last time...

 

[Kiante]

Brad did all of this in eight years.

I repeat in eight years... That is incredible.

 

[tclarson]

As a Larson fan the chokes are getting frustrating.

 

[Kiante]

Not what I think it’s what I know and see! All y’all try and act like y’all don’t see it.. dude is a bum

Byron finished in like 20th place with Chad at the helm.

I guess both of them are bums.

Yeaa they got good equipment.. if they was so good they would do better..

Not bad for a guy Denny said would never make it at the Cup level

When can we acknowledge that Hendrick across the board is not that good anymore? Hasn’t been for a couple years now. Chase was the only driver to win last year, and he was never a factor today. They have issues all over the place.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Disappointed with Joey's finish but good to see how fast they were along with the rest of Team Penske.. big things this year!

 

[Madman88]

is post race on another channel?

 

[carolinabuff]

Sums it up well

Ok that’s fine to say.. and that’s how u know it’s never been about the driver.. they just had something others didn’t that’s all .. JJ is a fraud

 

[carolinabuff]

doesn't look like it, it's not on FS1 or FS2

 

[Ventisca]

At least we know what the problem is. Joey and Blaney had those pit stop/tire issues, but they both had speed and handling; so not as dire as other teams.

Chase is literally the only Hendrick that has a chance of winning outside the plate tracks. Jury is still out on Bryon, Bowman is inconsistent, and Johnson isn’t what he was

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Uh oh

 

[Kiante]

Uh oh

Whoops.

I'm sure JG will give an honest opinion on HMS struggles. Oh wait...

Didn't seem much different to me. Cars did look slower, but the racing looked pretty similar. I'm curious to see what difference aero ducts and smooth pavement make at Vegas.

 

[mack]

I enjoyed the race. It kept my attention. There were blunders, high groove racing, low groove racing, and a good race for the win. Maybe I'm a simpleton, but I enjoyed it.

 

[Johali]

Maybe I'm a simpleton, but I enjoyed it.

Then that makes two of us because I enjoyed it also.

.@odsteve says the Pro Trailer (camera system) called the penalty on Truex crew member being over the wall too soon. The Tower then reviewed the video and could not confirm the infraction. Therefore they did not call the penalty.

Bowman and Elliott are consistent for the most part. Byron is a major work in progress and Jimmie is well not lacking drove to race. Yet is lacking speed.

HMS has some big issues and honestly it has not gotten any better. Its crazy how their satellite team is looking better than them... Again.

 

[Thegeneral23]

Cry baby truex complaining like always.. saying he got held up by other cars smh that’s why they out there to RACE! He should be the last one to talk.. he won a championship because Kyle got held up by Joey

Seems legit...
