Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

[aunty dive]

He's young - shouldn't be a problem - may actually teach him something

At 14:1, it’s a problem.

 

[Ventisca]

I know the booth is talking about how the 9 only has a steering issue to the right but Elliott is talking about how his arms are going to be like angel hair by lap 450.

Chase is surrounded by all those Hooters girls -- that could be the difference

 

[JBone88]

Bowman the slowman. Don’t know why this guy has seemingly regressed since HMS first gave him a chance.

I said this when Jr was still in the car. Greg Ives sucks.

 

[Racer1930]

"Looks like he just spun" - LOL - except for the getting hit in the rear end part

 

[DIDIT]

If you're counting Busch out, don't.

You called that!

 

[DUN24]

This maybe Cpt. obvious talking, but i was expecting to see the backends of the cars moving around a bit more. Is that tall spoiler so much of a parachute that the car just can't get out of shape?

They are all tight as hell.

 

[SlicedBread22]

You called that!

Shhhhhh

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lol these guys acting like making the playoff is difficult.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Hemric has shown some speed this year, but he's had absoluely no luck.

 

[Mispeedway15]

So did Chase lose his power steering when he brushed the wall? Or did it go away on its own due to part failure? He’s hanging tough still top 10

Probably braking while sliding. Happened to me in my old 2001 Impala, saved her during a blizzard in Ohio and the pump went out

 

[FLRacingFan]

Chase is surrounded by all those Hooters girls -- probably lost some forearm strength, that could be the difference

Jesus. Lol

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I said this when Jr was still in the car. Greg Ives sucks.

Yea I agree, Jr was better off going into the sunset with Letarte at the time. I still can’t determine if Bowman is not good or if it’s the 88.

 

[DanicaFreak]

denny is a wheelman doing this without power steering. I am starting to like this guy.

 

[Madman88]

They are all tight as hell.

Really, why? not what i would expect at bristol...

 

[SlicedBread22]

Okay that was cool!

 

[DUN24]

Thank you Ty.

 

[JBone88]

****** Bowyer. Can’t even hold off Ty Dillon for a stage win lol.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

We live in a world where Ty Dillon wins a stage. Stop this race now and get him to Victory Lane.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Face palm. Can SHR just pack up already?

 

[ToyYoda]

Ty Dillon gets a playoff point he won’t need.

 

[Ventisca]

There's gotta be a part shaking loose in KyBu's rear end -- we'll see...

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Wow Ty Dillon stole that stage win like a boss.

 

[DIDIT]

Crap, they changed lineup dropped Blaney to 5th, put him on inside again. That lane sucks

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Thank you Ty.

Only stage win he'll get all year.

 

[Madman88]

that was cool, good to see the little guy beat up on the old guy

 

[Racer1930]

Clint driving like Big Dale E. in the old days!

 

[DUN24]

Really, why? not what i would expect at bristol...

Because of the gobs of downforce combined with a tapered restrictor plate I'd assume.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

There's gotta be a part shaking loose in KyBu's rear end -- we'll see...

That's a bit personal.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

******* Bowyer. Can’t even hold off Ty Dillon for a stage win lol.

I wondered about taking the inside line, even if that's where the car has been good.

 

[DewChaser988]

Stage Winner: **TY DILLON?!!!**

 

[Madman88]

Clint driving like Big Dale E. in the old days!

um big E would have won that stage and someone would be on the phone to geico to come get their car off the flatbed

 

[donthaveanickname]

That first stage was fantastic, hope the race goes on like this.
And it looks like it's gonna be over before midnight, so I will probably be able to watch the entire race.

 

[JBone88]

Yea I agree, Jr was better off going into the sunset with Letarte at the time. I still can’t determine if Bowman is not good or if it’s the 88.

Tough to say. I think Bowman is pretty solid. Seems like they just don’t have any speed. Hopefully Mr. H pays some attention to the 88 team in the offseason. They need a reboot.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Pop Pop is taking Ty out for ice cream after his stage win

 

[SlicedBread22]

Kind of a waste of a playoff point

 

[Spotter22]

Ty Dillon gets a playoff point he won’t need.

How you figure that?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

If all his fluids are hot, something failed

He thinks belts are still on pump because he gets power back on straights, but loses it under load in turns. They’re checking fluid level now.

Edit: feels same, Gustafson says there’s nothing we can do. Chase asking if cooling it would help, they pulled tape.

 

[Spotter22]

Kind of a waste of a playoff point

NEVER

 

[Charlie Spencer]

How you figure that?

The assumption is he won't make the playoffs.

 

[ToyYoda]

How you figure that?

You think Ty is making the playoffs?
