Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

So happy to see the concrete!
Weather here is the pits. Rainy, thank goodness because we need it badly. Biggest reservoir is less than 50% capacity. But I need some SUNSHINE ! LOL

Won 12 times with 7 in a row.

It’s windy here, so antenna signal ain’t great. I’m using the Fox Sports App, but no idea how it works. I’m logged in with my Sling credentials, but the Fox local station isn’t included here on Sling in my market. Not sure if that matters or not, but it’s working now. Hopefully it doesn’t kick me off after an hour.

I'll be interested in seeing how quickly Tyler Reddick makes his way through the field and how long Josh Berry can stay in the top 5.

 

[Daytripper]

That was a pretty lackluster start your engines!

 

[Spotter22]

Gotta feeling "feelings" are gonna get hurt today!

[FLRacingFan]

Attendance looks pretty good! Relative to the last several concrete spring races, it looks like a good bump.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green

 

[Brentford]

Love the scenery around this track! But it also depresses me a little. The grandstands are of higher elevation than anywhere in my state.

 

[Hawaii808]

Bristol as it should be, hoping for some good ol short track racing.

 

[Blaze]

Someone check on @AndyMarquisLive

Mike Joy: That beep-beep sound you hear is Joey Logano backing up

 

[Magicmiler]

Lack of a nearby major city must have affected attendance today.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is this the package they can't pass with?

 

[Brentford]

Dang Byron, you’re gonna be down a lap by the end of the stage!

Yellow for the #24 parts. Toe link.

 

[Brentford]

Yellow for the #24 parts. Toe link.

I’d be mad, but he was dropping like a rock anyway.

 

[Hawaii808]

The toe link grafic begs the question, when will the spec be something bigger than a pencil?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

If they're changing tires after 25 laps, this could get ugly.

Something has to be the middle space of NASCAR bingo. Might as well be a broken toe-link.

Yeah, but it's the kind of "ugly" I like. Makes the driver pay attention instead of just flooring it.

Welp. Note to self: don't stay out by yourself.

 

[Blaze]

Oof

 

[Brentford]

At least they learned of that early.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Easy to have tires left at the end when you're several laps down for repairs.

 

[Brentford]

Byron lucky dog! YES!!! Only 5 laps down now!

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Some strong drivers from this season having problems early on.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Jamie with a handful of goodness!

 

[Magicmiler]

Jamie with a handful of goodness!

Just one?

 

[Spotter22]

Might have to bring the brush trucks out before long

 

[antman12]

Somebody get Jamie a throat lozenge

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[Spotter22]

Damn, the 11 has crazy forward bite

 

[FLRacingFan]

That 11 can run the second lane really well. Those are tough passes to pull off.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Kez on the move

 

[Charlie Spencer]

@Dr_B_UNC ?

 

[Blaze]

Definitely seems like they can pass today

 

[Brentford]

This is like plate racing. They are so close together and it’s not even due to lapped traffic. Very interesting.
