Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

[StandOnIt]

Hamlin didn't lose a lap, Busch did.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Chris Buescher had a strong 1st stage.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That’s a lot of cording.

 

[Spotter22]

Hindsight is 20/20 but I would have spent practice time scuffing every set 1 lap

 

[aunty dive]

Good call @aunty dive ...!

Great minds and all that.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Goodyear has extra tires available if NASCAR authorizes

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good for Goodyear mounting another set of tires for each team just in case NASCAR ok's them.

 

[Bretzky]

Listening to the scanner Goodyear is getting absolutely roasted across the board.

Stupid is as stupid does.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Okay I’m at where Ty Gibbs got ran over at the front of the field. Whew, that was a wreck

Drivers are going to have be smart. LOL

 

[Spotter22]

Avg 17.0

 

[FLRacingFan]

So far, it hasn’t resulted in calamity or anything unsafe, and is putting on a hell of a show. I’m entertained.

 

[Spotter22]

2 second fall off

 

[RollingCode]

Have we seen anything like this before?

I'm really enjoying this.

Old school Rockingham and Darlington.

Not in a long time.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

That looks tough to drive. I absolutely am loving this

 

[Spotter22]

Even though they are 2 seconds slower Im not sure that will work

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Love.

When Waltrip won 7 Bristol's in a row.

 

[Spotter22]

Leader last lap17.60

 

[Brentford]

Hard to know who is backing it down and who’s slow. Chase has fallen back quite a bit.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

When Waltrip won 7 Bristol's in a row.

That’s just an insane stat. Jeff Gordon won 4 Southern 500’s in a row and I find DW’s run at Bristol just as impressive if not more

 

[BobbyFord]

Awesome tires

 

[Spotter22]

Time to start measuring sets and swapping the right front and right rear

 

[Brentford]

Zane has been hit multiple times today and still hasn’t broken a toe-link. They must have done away with using Wish.com as their supplier.

 

[StandOnIt]

Hello Nemo.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Sport Clips has express oil change? You can get the Hot Towel/Head an Neck Massage Haircut while at the same time getting an oil change on your car, an ingenious idea.

 

[Brentford]

I’m not even sure you can risk taking the wave-around with these tires. Take it and hope for a quick caution, but there’s be a good chance you would be the reason for the caution.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Looks like race control is gonna be more liberal with cautions today to give opportunities to pit. Not sure that needed to be called otherwise.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Man, did I miss drivers having to manage their tires. Mark Martin would own this race.

Oops. Meant Tyler Reddick there. Anyways still catching up

 

[KTMLew01]

Sounds like tire wear is exceeding what was expected. Wonder if nine sets will even be enough?

Is this the first race here on concrete for this car? Wait? Nevermind. Forgot about that fall race. What is so different now?

Ambient/track temp I imagine. They also swapped out PJ1 for resin.

Otherwise the compounds and construction are the same as last fall.

Time to start measuring sets and swapping the right front and right rear

What I mean is if they get to the point they have to put these tires back on you try to get what "stagger" you can and rotate the right front to the right rear if you were tight, the reason is your RR would have less wear and help the car turn.
