Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

[JBone88]

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.

Followed by Letarte rambling about how track position is CRUCIAL

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Newman has been real solid so far today

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

9 apparently split the nose hitting the 14. When did that happen? (Per scanner)

 

[Turtle84]

This looks like an Xfinity package with Cup level talent behind the wheel. Crazy on restarts, then goes single file spread wide open momentum clean air, with the occasional lift and bobble as tires wear. I don't see how or why that is more desirable to watch than the previous package, but I'm sure Larson is loving the change into his wheelhouse.

Kes cannot get a break!

Keselowski's jack broke on his pit stop. He's 17th. #NASCAR @NASCARONFOX

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

It's not surprising at all Hemric was great in Xfinity and Trucks.
Newman and Menard both outran Dillon when they were at RCR too.

 

[Racer1930]

That latina monster girl is insanely hot. Damn

Picture please

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Now tv reports it

 

[REBS31]

Newman has been real solid so far today

As a Newman fan I've learned to never get your hopes up at any point in a race

 

[JBone88]

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.

Hemric has more natural talent. I don’t disagree. I just think it’s funny how people ignore Austin’s wins and titles in lieu of a good Dillon roast.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

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

Pop Pop won’t allow that

 

[Spotter22]

Bottom line there are a ton of short track drivers that could do what these guys are doing, Like Bubba Pollard, its all where you land in your career

 

[Kiante]

There goes Harvick.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Man if Joey can avoid these pit problems (Bowman) he might have something for em here

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Missed the battle for the lead again lol

 

[JBone88]

42 and 4 mixing it up.

 

[Kiante]

At least the leader isn't running away.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Laughing here:
Chase: “Where’s leader now?”
D’Hondt: “Coming off 2 now, up high giving mosquitos off the wall.”

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Good stuff!

 

[Johali]

It was debris on the track that damaged the 9s nose.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I mean, Harvick got way out the throttle to avoid spinning Larson. Calm down #42 team.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Damn Larson put on the block

 

[Acs]

42 and 4 mixing it up.

Who cares? We need to learn about another true story from Keytruda! and KFC!

 

[DSquad48]

Laughing here:
Chase: “Where’s leader now?”
D’Hondt: “Coming off 2 now, up high giving mosquitos off the wall.”

Poetry

 

[SlicedBread22]

Later in the race Harvick won't be so lenient with that block

 

[DIDIT]

Update, cars are all turning left still, even the 48.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I wonder how many spots Bowman will.cost Joey at the end of this stage

 

[Kiante]

HMS engineers:

 

[Mispeedway15]

He almost wrecked there!

 

[SlicedBread22]

Logano was over 13 seconds back a bit ago.. 9 seconds now

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Logano was over 13 seconds back a bit ago.. 9 seconds now

Might be in a good spot in stage 3 with the longer runs.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I saw it

 

[DIDIT]

Nice of Harvick to give the 21 a break

 

[Turtle84]

This has been a good race overall, I'll just have to get over it looking xfinity.

 

[Spotter22]

19, 22 are gonna have a say here

 

[SlicedBread22]

19, 22 are gonna have a say here

Unless Joey loses 12 spots every pit stop.. he needs to get in front of the 19 to avoid that

 

[JBone88]

Keep an eye on Truex. They’ve made that car better every stop.

 

[FLRacingFan]

The more this drags on the more it looks like typical Atlanta. Fighting the car and the track is all part of the deal here. Not necessarily a bad thing. I think the top three could put on a good fight in the last half.

 

[DIDIT]

Hope Blaney wasn't speeding

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Bowman pulling off pitroad like an old sad dog.
