Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

[racingfan7]

Hemric and the #31 team does realize this one of their few shots at the playoffs this year, no?

How the hell is Hamlin restarting 4th?

I was wondering the same thing

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I hope Brad K finishes 2nd 5 to 7 times this year.

How the hell is Hamlin restarting 4th?

I want to know how those damaged cars are still running so well. Some of them look like the end result of a local dirt race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

First RW(sb)R yellow of the year?

EDIT: My apologies. Not his fault.

 

[superchuck500]

Feels like this one has at least one more significant wreck near the front

 

[HoneyBadger]

Jags fans had to deal with a year of Urban Meyer as head coach, nothing can top that pain.

Fool didn't last a year.

Progressive/variable banking in the corners like Las Vegas & Homestead-Miami, but 23° to 25° like Atlanta usually was.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Miraculously only a single-car incident.

I still believe in this track, it won’t race this way when the pavement ages and tire wear becomes even more of a factor …. I hope

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Been huffin' the nitrous again, Doc?

I wish.

Grala is a good field filler driver, but he should he running more Trucks and gaining more experience once in a while.

 

[Brentford]

Genius move by Kyle! Caused the caution to get the lucky dog and got away with it.

It seems like he’s been around forever

 

[FLRacingFan]

Grala is a good field filler driver, but he should he running more Trucks and gaining more experience once in a while.

I think he’s probably pretty decent but found it odd he only ever got a full-time drive at the Xfinity or Truck level twice.

I wish they’d allow Buschwacking & Bounty Trucking again.

I kinda wanna see AJ Allmendinger gunnin’ it against Ross for the Xfinity title.

Races good to me now. But maybe I’m bias since it’s my home track

 

[HoneyBadger]

If anyone is playing a drinking game that involves Caitlin Clark commercials you’re in my prayers

Yeah... I'm a Caitlin Clark fan.

Fox has gone overboard with the promos for that game. But I get it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This Wendy’s commercial with that dude signing bag boys….I want to bludgeon that fool until he can’t make fries anymore

I’m not against taking away a race from Talladega & giving Daytona the Clash back so other areas and cities can have regular season races.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Genius move by Kyle! Caused the caution to get the lucky dog and got away with it.

That's what I was thinking.

I thought you weren't eligible for the lucky dog if you were involved in the caution.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Yea I’ve enjoyed today, kind of a zany race. Color me entertained

 

[Charlie Spencer]

This Wendy’s commercial with that dude signing bag boys….I want to bludgeon that fool until he can’t make fries anymore

And the guy who's writing their ads.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Got a nice big helping of fuel saving coming up!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Martin?

 

[superchuck500]

Gilliland's car reminds me of the old #44 Slim Jim ride. Terry Labonte in Busch?

Definitely

 

[Efisher131]

Martin?

Dude’s a beast. Typing on his phone while he takes the lead.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I still believe in this track, it won’t race this way when the pavement ages and tire wear becomes even more of a factor …. I hope

Imagine how great this track would race if the pavement aged and we were on the old configuration.

 

[Efisher131]

Well one thing’s for sure you can’t say you can’t pass at this place. Larson already in the top 5.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Hendrick gonna be 2-0 at the end of the race. Larson's got a rocket ship.

And then watch Bowman win at Las Vegas.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Gilliland’s got a really good car, I mean he’s leading the pack while holding off challengers. Pretty wild to see this

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Best drive of Gilliland's career.

 

[Efisher131]

Hendrick gonna be 2-0 at the end of the race. Larson's got a rocket ship.

And then watch Bowman win at Las Vegas.

Larson winning a drafting track? You’re nuts

 

[superchuck500]

That 38 is a piece

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

God this is fantastic

 

[Blaze]

God dammit

 

[Charlie Spencer]

EMTs to the Pool Hall, stat!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Can we zoom in a little tighter on the lead cars please? I can't quite read the serial numbers on the tires right now.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Doc, you okay?
