Cup RACE thread --- Bristol, Rd. 2

[CodeMan125]

Good racing for the Lead !

 

[DewChaser988]

This race should either be a playoff elimination race or the final race before the playoffs, not Indy. That might help attendance

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Please, this is the race thread ---- if you wish to discuss hotels, tickets, etc. Please do so in another thread.

 

[aunty dive]

Tremendous racing.

Oh my god this piece again about NBC’s ****** audio mixing

Totally missed the #4 car messing up.

But its not ******audio mixing, that was done on purpose to show just how loud it is.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Almirola running third have a really good night thus far. Man I love this place so much going on

 

[ChexOrWrex]

None of the big 3 in contention? Best race ever!!!

NASCAR finally getting their young guns competing

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I didn’t look at those. Thanks, we might be staying in Knoxville though

Kville is good. Three lanes most of the way to the track. Stay on the east side of town off I 40.

I’m half excited to go Bristol because if it’s that loud I won’t have to listen to my wife for 500 Miles

 

[Spotter22]

lol. Jr is a natural

Its of my opinion Indy should not be on the schedule

 

[BobbyFord]

Wow, there’s a lot of guys out there that shouldn’t be in the Cup series.

 

[machinistman3]

Wouldn't mind seeing Almirola win,he seems like a really good kid

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Thanks for the advice!

 

[JBone88]

Almirola has been coming for 20 laps. The booth didn’t notice him until he passed the 9.

Epic battle for the lead = que commercial.

 

[Michfan]

Wow, there’s a lot of guys out there that shouldn’t be in the Cup series.

Especially the kid that caused that lap 2 wreck

Hopefully Larson can get back up there to make it 12-9-42 battle

 

[Kiante]

I posted in the IndyCar thread on accident.
This is great so far, guys are really being passive-aggressive tonight.

 

[DSquad48]

16.4

 

[KodiakRusty89]

And the 38 got rooted!!

ALMIROLA WHERE DID HE COME FROM

 

[4tires17gals]

Harvick's tire looked inflated

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Bristol's ticket prices are outrageous! Obviously the reasons for the empty seats runs deeper than that but their ticket prices are completely out of whack relative to Martinsville and Richmond.

It's time to horsehoe the place with about 100k seats an bring back Thunder Valley for all to see. Bristol circa 1993 or so is packed with tonight's crowd...

Those old school races I’ve watched on YouTube like 93 ish 95 are amazing. Thunder Valley seemed intimidating as hell

 

[AdoubleU24]

9 team needs to get it together on pit road

 

[BradBlaney]

Agreed. They have a bye next week, so make this the regular season finale and have Darlington start the playoffs. 12 race playoff

Round1:
Darlington
Indy
Las Vegas

Round two:
Richmond
Charlotte
Dover

Round three:
Talladega
Kansas
Martinsville

Final three races decide championship:
Texas
Phoenix
Homestead

 

[ChexOrWrex]

So glad this sport puts ad revenue above the quality of the product and we missed a great battle for the lead that ended up with a lap car spinning and almost taking them all out.

Who needs to watch the fun parts of the race amirite

 

[racefan41]

Was the 38 out of gas? geez

 

[aunty dive]

KB gets 1 back.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Comeon Larson!

 

[BobbyFord]

You gotta wonder if Byron wasn’t pushed up too quickly.

 

[jws926]

Agreed. They have a bye next week, so make this the regular season finale and have Darlington start the playoffs. 12 race playoff

Round1:
Darlington
New Hampshire
Las Vegas

Round two:
Richmond
Charlotte
Dover

Round three:
Talladega
Kansas
Martinsville

Final three races decide championship:
Texas
Phoenix
Homestead

 

[racefan41]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Logono win

 

[BobbyFord]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Logono win

Not gonna happen.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

According to Rick Allen, Larson is in both 2nd and 20th

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I don’t think I like that VHT stuff, why do they use it here?

 

[BradBlaney]

Personally I would put Pocono there. Indy goes to back to the date before The Glen

 

[Charlie Spencer]

According to Rick Allen, Larson is in both 2nd and 20th

He's 22nd.

 

[Spotter22]

Id like to punch Almirola in the nose

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

According to Rick Allen, Larson is in both 2nd and 20th

Two Larson’s? Mind blown.....

 

[BobbyFord]

I reckon I didn’t miss anything.
I just see that he’s 21st in points.
