Cup RACE thread --- Bristol, Rd. 2

Denny might go to Miami.

Dude is on it. I have not seen Denny this good in some years.

Honestly it feels like it's his year to win it all.

 

[Michfan]

Fantastic race and Matt's emotion was real...but given everything that happened this week the finish was predictable. Did they finally give Matt D a comparable car?

It's not like he hasn't been in the top 5 this year

He'll still choke it away,

 

[Blaze]

Also keep in mind, if DiBenedetto wins it makes it harder for Newman to make the pLaYoFFs. Just saying.

Okay... that’s a good point there haha.

Matt D had an awesome drive tonight -- but he has got to stop whimpering on TV.

He’s not whimpering - his whole career is on a knife’s edge for the world to see. It’s right there in front of him but he’s on the wrong side of the shuffle, of course it’s emotional.

The last thing that’s fair is people sitting on their couch and judging him for being so invested in this thing that it brings him to tears.

He got out of Denny's way

He didn’t actually. He pulled right into Denny’s line and the 11 had to check up. No contact, but he didn’t let him go.

**** Gibbs and Leavine. You can’t tell me this guy isn’t going to be in a top tier ride. It’s a joke

Pretty much shows that Leavine is a name only team for Toyota.

 

[BobbyFord]

Clint has been full of excuses his entire career.
Good finish for those guys tonight.

There’s a difference between racing hard and coming up into him and slamming his left front.

Then when Denny comes by he gives him the whole track.

Cheap stuff.

He didn't give Denny the whole track

Absolutely.

Wouldn't mind seeing Matt in the 21 next Season

 

[DewChaser988]

I have an idea, Newman doors you when he's a lap down and you're battling for the win, dump his ass, that will teach him

Emotional wreck -- and that interview was a whimpering mess.

If something doesn't work out, move on and search for other opportunities -- like the rest of us do.

Man I would LOVE that.

It will also potentially ruin your car, bring out a caution and cost you the win

Too much to lose and Newman knows he can get away with it.

Some people just don't understand...

So would I !

 

[StandOnIt]

That was a mistake Matt made, underestimating Newman

 

[DewChaser988]

Granted that is true, but you are kinda damned if you, damned if you don't

He ran second at Bristol. What did you do this week?

 

[BobbyFord]

Matt D kicked Hendrick ass tonight.
Does Rick even care anymore?

 

[Ventisca]

Guilty. Grown man crying (literally) that he's not getting his way in life means nothing to me.

 

[BobbyFord]

Suarez up two spots

Who wouldn't be? Dude lost a career best ride for himself and the performance he put on tonight speaks volumes of what he is capable of.

He wears his emotions on his sleeves, too. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

that's one weird way of looking at it, to each their own.

Regardless, he showed he can run up front with a piece. He'll be a winner in a good ride

Wow...you must be the expedition leader to Mt. Everest.

 

[jaqua19]

He didn't give Denny the whole track

Out of four he gave Denny a lane in a half. It was that top view. Gave him plenty of room

Denny, post-race pushing D-Ben up where he belongs. Hopefully some top tier team with an aging driver is awake tonight.

 

[ahhculdee]

And Newman was just added to /r/NASCAR/ hit list

I got banned for calling Newman what he is.

 

[DaBiff1618]

Also keep in mind, if DiBenedetto wins it makes it harder for Newman to make the pLaYoFFs. Just saying.

This is the smartest post of the night I didn’t even think about that. As of now Newman is sitting pretty, if Matt had won Newman would then have been the bubble driver.

And with the shot across the bow and calling the owners out , damn

 

[Churchkey]

Newman is 16 above the cut line if Matt wins he leapfrogs into the playoffs & Newman may not point his way in.

Newman is an engineer I'm sure all the numbers are brain crunched before the green drops.
If you recall he walled Larsen to make the playoffs.

 

[jws926]

WOW!, I just earned a ton more respect for Denny and Matty D tonight, I dunno what else to say.

I think JGR has influence and D-Ben will get a ride based on his performance tonight.

 

[JBone88]

Why is Denny making me like him? Stawp.

 

[StandOnIt]

Leavine is the same song as Barney was except he doesn't have the money that Barney had. He has no or very little say in his business
