Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

[Charlie Spencer]

How does Johnson run behind Buescher, Ragan and Dibennidetto?! I dont get it.

He's also running behind Preece and Hemric. Does that help your confusion?

 

[JBone88]

42 chopping down a couple tenths a lap.

 

[Kiante]

Hiw does Johnson run behind Buescher, Ragan and Dibennidetto?! I dont get it.

He's struggling no doubt. He'll adjust, but I'm really starting to wonder about him. If the cars had more power and more off-throttle time, I think JJ would be thriving. He's struggling to keep up that momentum.

Well it looks like Happy Harvick has this race under control now. Since I picked him in the "season-long" competition and I expect that the prize will be something like a gift card from "Bath and Body" I will start excepting bribes as of now. Send me a Rappala fishing lure and a spool of 10-pound test line and I'll send you the gift card

Oops - Nevermind

 

[gnomesayin]

Anyone who says they can tell the difference between 170 and 200mph on the TV is full of it

Yes, we're lying, that's it.

 

[Mispeedway15]

High side looks much faster currently

 

[jws926]

Lead change

 

[FLRacingFan]

There it is.

 

[Ventisca]

Wow, they missed the action -- Thanks to JG we saw the end of it.

These announcers have got to put their cue cards down and watch the action.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Why is everyone saying Harvick has the thing won now that he’s got the lead?

He’s the 3rd driver to pull away after nabbing the lead on a restart - and prior to that couldn’t catch the leader when they were P2.

 

[RollingCode]

Cars look like a hand full in the turns.

Good thing we have 8 million replays where we miss more live racing.

For a momentum car I’d think KyBu would be doing better with all of that success and experience in years of Xfinity cars. Might be the backup car though.

 

[Kiante]

JJ's car is all over the place. Too tight:

Now, its too loose:

Interesting having a hard time finding a happy-medium for him. Meendering is a very good CC, so I think they will mesh later on.

 

[Hotrod]

Wow , Larson passed Harvick with one hand on the wheel
and the other resting on a roll bar. That was a power pass!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pay no attention to the fact that Hemric is nine spots ahead of New Black Hat.

Little bit stiffer competition in the big leagues

Sorry, I'm not buying any vehicle promoted by an old Donny and Marie Osmond song.

Gonna be a long season

Nah just adds to it lol

Been watching him all weekend.

Excuses excuses

"Roll bar" I had a girlfriend who liked my stick shifter and...well maybe we shouldn't get too talkative about that.

Hemric is just a hard-nosed racer who takes his craft seriously. This should have been a given from the outset IMHO.

 

[Kiante]

Newman's car looks great in the sunlight. Very unique look that 6 car.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Agreed, but it’s funny to see. Even better will be the excuseapalooza out of the #3 this season when Hemric keeps it up.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Damn, Ricky had a solid Top 15 going.

Ty and Austin could not even best Daniel in the Xfinity series.

Also doesnt have his special brakes from the truck race

Fox thinks we missed "Running Down A Dream" so they've brought it back for us. How nice.

At least it’s actual Tom Petty. I’ll give them that.

Oh how I can't wait to hear Jeff Burton scream about this package and how it's different than last year every single week.

Vintage Earnhardt

Ignoring the fact they’ve won races and championships and Daniel has yet to win a race at any level of NASCAR.

Don’t get me wrong. I like Hemric. He’s a good shoe.

Andy go eat a snickers please.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They played 'Free Fallin' a few breaks back.

And there goes 7-Time a lap down!

 

[FLRacingFan]

They played 'Free Fallin' a few breaks back.

I Won’t Back Down to be played in the third stage, confirmed.

 

[Mispeedway15]

That latina monster girl is insanely hot. Damn

He's a better racer than them. He may not have the race wins, but he will be more consistent than them. The competition got stronger in the Xfinity series as time progressed.
