Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

[Racer1930]

You mean NASCAR isn't a bunch of dumb racist rednecks driving in a circle? Could've fooled all my friends.

Well that demographic is fairly well represented in the free fan parking/camping area at Talladega - but things are improving.

That 9 team didnt do Chase any favors there.

 

[StandOnIt]

I weep for your friends.

Has the wrong friends

What else is new

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That splitter / dart board graphic was useless.

Byron got a good piece of the wall there.

#24 car seems to be snake bit - fast but....

Reddick checking out on All Hat

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I'm glad I'm not watching this race with my dad who's working right now... he would not be happy with his favorite driver hitting the wall and losing a bunch of laps.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Harvick is on a different level this year

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Lead 50% of the laps.

Win 14% of the races.

oof.

I think it helps the drivers tell where the banking flattens out.

I would think if they moved it down just a bit the drivers would figure out fairly quickly where they needed to be in regard to it.

Maybe they just like watching almost every car that hits it go squirrelly.

oof.

That's about 3 wins a year. I'd take that.

EDIT: actually, it's five.

Paint the lines with Flex-Seal (tm).

Reddick is so much better than his ride.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This is in reference to Harvick’s atlanta stats since 2014. Keep up.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Reddick is so much better than his ride.

I think he’s happy with his ride currently.

You misspelled “at Atlanta.” He’s fricking Yoda in his mastery of this track.

Reddick is a bad man, it’s so amusing to me when he outdrives Pop Pop’s grandson most weeks. If it was anyone else I don’t think he’d be in that 3 or that ride for that matter.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

But the #3 will be Austin's as long as he wants it, and probably Ty's when he doesn't.

My apologies.

Harvick, last six at Atlanta - 3 top 5s (50%), 5 top 10s (83%). Plenty of room for improvement

 

[ChexOrWrex]

How long we gonna talk about the weather?

Any racing going on?

AD is ahead of Reddick on points at this point, besides the Rookie race, it is interesting to see if he will outpoint AD his rookie year.

Great post. Thanks trl
Hope you had a good birthday

Damn Kurt's has a fast car

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Kes nabbed speeding

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Are Bubba and the #43 finally starting to click?

#6, #2 too fast entering

Bubba is really showing huge strides this year. He’s with Reddick in the “deserves a much better ride” club.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Is P17 clicking?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Chase fans know that feel, bro. *cries in Las Vegas*

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Grandpa always has that green vest, it’s time for an upgrade

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Nasty ol' Grandpa blows his covid all over that marshmallow he gives the kids.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Is P17 clicking?

He’s driving a car on par with a Rick Ware crapbox and running teens and occasionally top 10, so yeah.

 

[Turtle84]

Stage 1 "Harvicking"

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is P17 clicking?

Compared to his last two years, yes.

You should get new friends.

 

[Switchback]

No pearn is closing the gap

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

With all these corporations tweeting and running ads about how racially sensitive they are, it’s the perfect time for one to put their money where theirs mouth is and sponsor Bubba to help him into a better car.
