Cup RACE thread --- Bristol dirt

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

The car crossing the line and blowing up i feel like that happened too but I dont recall who or where

DW blew up after he won The Winston in 1985 after crossing the line

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

DW was a menace at Bristol. I’m about to que up one of his W’s at this place on The YouTube machine

I enjoy pre-race, but I usually avoid the race thread once the race starts and then come back in after the race is over.

This place tends to suck the joy out of racing.

hamlin and harvick both say something i fully agree with all in about 30 minutes time…

Gave you time to pee, get another drink and another slice of pizza .

Now I want pizza.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Larry Mac, Joy and DW back together. Yes!

I'm certainly not a Hamlin fan but this is very well said

They needed to stop trying to explain the unexplainable, the quirks of which are only relevant if they declared the race over, and say "We're not done here, we're going racing again."

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m sorry I haven’t seen this and it’s pretty freaking awesome

 

[Spotter22]

just call it. we are done. Even if we go green again you are gonna have clogged grills and overheating

You got the first 2 right, but pizza was history before the green flag dropped.

Harvick, who has known about this race for a year, hasn't lifted one finger to get in a dirt car and practice, accepts no responsibility for being unprofessional and looking like a fool followed by Hamlin who is in the same boat. But they run their mouths for their peanut galleries. lol.

Remember this... Next week,
Talladega...

For the love of God get the mic outta Noah Gragson’s face. Drunks make more sense.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Surprised they haven't called it yet

 

[Magicmiler]

Gragson was painful to watch...

 

[HoneyBadger]

Surprised they haven't called it yet

I’d wait this out all night to avoid the embarrassment of how this otherwise would end.

Would running a purpose-built dirt car somewhere else help prepare to run this car here?

I just check in during cautions so it will never get the chance to suck the joy out of a race for me.

Same. I’m off to read Revelations to see if any other signs are happening…

Of course, even running a go kart would help, mini sprint, whatever

 

[Nitro Dude]

Much better race then last year. Most of the drivers are having a lot of fun.

He was oddly nervous/trying too hard to be witty.

Not sure what that was about

There were Four Horsemen in the booth.

 

[wi_racefan]

If this goes back green I'm assuming we'll need a comp caution? If so they need to just say it so we don't have guys coming in again to clean the mud off then throw a caution 2 laps later

Three plus a Bowyer.

As much as it would suck for him, rules are rules.

Harvick and Hamlin sucked balls all night. I dont think they are a good metric

Sometimes the rules get in the way of being lucky. I have no issue with Briscoe winning this race if that in fact does happen.

 

[jaqua19]

I don't know what the confusion is about right now, this moment. Hasn't the broadcast more or less confirmed that we're going back racing?

At the very least the drivers are having fun. This stinks, 2 years in a row and we have weather issues. Was hoping for a good weather weekend so we could get a better feel for if this dirt charade is worth a race every year. I was enjoying the racing up till now.

 

[jws926]

The rain the delay came at a good time, not missing anything getting dinner ready, mmmm, the ham is smelling good!

 

[JGR_20]

I feel like that’s the only thing that has kept them in a holding pattern to this point.


I fully think they were prepared to call it about 15 minutes ago before people in the sport themselves mentioned they don’t quite understand what’s happening

Just so no one complains, I hope it goes back green. But I’d also be fine with Briscoe winning for sure

I think they’re gonna attempt it

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, how do normal dirt cars keep dirt out of the engine? Better filters?

 

[Spotter22]

Chase Briscoe withthe only open umbrella
