Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

[34R7H130UND]

Exact opposite of the 500.

Terrible race, phenomenal, legendary finish.

LOL

 

[Michfan]

It was pretty terrible compared to old Atlanta, for sure.

Definitely old Atlanta was real racing. This was a demolition derby. Great finish, though

 

[HoneyBadger]

Terrible race? Not even close man.

I hate superspeedway racing.

 

[Spotter22]

Sizzling!!! Got dang! What a race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Amigo!!!

Was okay. Once you see photo finishes every time at plate tracks they become less meaningful. It wasn’t a wreckfest at least.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Unofficially a MOV of .003 - would be the third-closest in series history.

 

[Blaze]

Guess we just like different things. Yeah the wrecks sucked but I mean no one really dominated all day, plenty of passing, good racing, and an awesome finish. Can’t ask for much more personally

 

[Naitch]

I want this same “it’s a lottery” and “it’s a demolition derby” energy when half the field gets torn up at places like Bristol.

 

[jaqua19]

That was an all time finish

Is this the start of a new friendship, or just a weird one week coincidence lol

I hate superspeedway racing.

I do too but this was the best of them since the end of the tandem era. It looked like the drivers were less reliant on having another car push, like they could pass unassisted on several occasions. That doesn't eliminate all my dislikes of plate racing but that's been one of my top three.

Suarez borrowed some of chastains giant brass balls. Awesome finish. Congrats to Daniel.

I guess with Daniel punching his ticket to the playoffs, the 99 seat has cooled off. Time for Trackhouse to start shopping another charter.

 

[jaqua19]

Good for Daniel, 2nd one validates the 1st

They’ll be replaying that clip till the end of time

 

[Pat]

Congrats to the 99 team. What a finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HoneyBadger]

On top of that, they ran the final five laps without a big one.

 

[Greg]

Brisco was asking for wreck a lot louder at other times, not so much when he met his fate.

Just happy that he didn't take my Pick'em driver Gilliland out. I was concerned that he would prior to his wreck

I misunderestimated the wrecking ball. Gilliland must have been damaged when Brisco wrecked.

 

[DewChaser988]

That was one of the most insane finishes I have ever seen

 

[HoneyBadger]

they might as well move Fox Raceday at 3pm to FS1 because Fox won't be rushing to sign off if Pete Maravich's record falls.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

So... was the win by 0.000 or 0.003 seconds? I heard both during the broadcast.

Scoring says .003. Mike Joy said "0.00 seconds" which is probably all they see on the monitor. The pylon showed 99, Mike Joy was saying 99, but Bowyer botched the call.

Not short of talent either, but when your millionaire Dad doesn't want to sponsor you either... That's saying something.

Can’t argue with the final five laps, even as someone who doesn’t particularly like this stuff. That was tremendously skilled driving and the finish was like almost nothing else before.

Will be interesting to see if they let this track age and do t replace every few years. The playoff race should be really hot and slick.

 

[Blaze]

Not seeing anything official. But I seen some saying Bubba is the points leader. Which this early in the season doesn’t mean a damn thing, but pretty awesome still if true

 

[Blaze]

 

[hmmm298]

All-time finish at the line

Classic Atlanta

 

[LJ7201]

I am so impressed by Blaney, Busch, and Suarez all making it to the finish clean there. What an incredible display of skill by all three drivers

 

[hmmm298]

Or shopping Ross.

 

[racingfan7]

I think it’s a nice win for Daniel Suarez to punch a ticket into the playoffs but the 99 team needs to show more speed as a whole at the speedways & road courses sometimes.

 

[Blaze]

Okay, so not the points leader but damn good start of the season. Hopefully he can keep it going into Vegas

 

[FLRacingFan]

Listen to those revs shoot up when Bubba gives Kyle a push.

 

[LJ7201]

Ross’s issue is that he has Dale Earnhardt’s racing style with mid-tier race craft.

Ross is today's Robby Gordon if anything

Remember when Ross Chastain ran a Kaulig car full time and didn’t win a single race all season long?

I think Big Hoss Ross should be full time in Xfinity like his predecessors.

He’s actually kind of like a skinny Jimmy Spencer

Also we really needed DW yelling “he got him by an inch!” That would have been perfect.
