Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

[Charlie Spencer]

One extra set approved. No more coming, sez Sawyer.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Suarez juuuuust a bit tight on entry…

 

[Greg]

Wonder if they will call it a race after 400 laps.

Not a chance.

Who will be first to start pulling plug wires off? Horsepower? We need LESS horsepowder.

 

[BobbyFord]

Slower is the new fast

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Exactly, Jr.! Backmarkers would pick up some extra change by scuffing for the top teams.

 

[Greg]

Not a chance.

I hope it goes 500 laps but I am expecting DNFs due to teams running out of tires.

I swear, it’s 1995 again!

Guys like Berry with an extensive late model background know how to save tires… this is a strategy race, if you don’t know how to race this way you shouldn’t be in the picture at the end

That’s their problem. Head to the parking lot and “borrow” some tires from the fans.

Slow down to speed up.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

KFB around AGAIN!

 

[Brentford]

I must have jinxed Zane Smith.

ROTFLAMO

 

[FLRacingFan]

Promising start really unraveled in a hurry for KFB.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This race is about as close as you can get to a race here from the 70’s,80’s and 90’s without setting the track back to that configuration. Today’s race calls for managing Tire Wear at a premium while racing the track AND your competitors. What a race thus far

RCR has really fallen apart since after Atlanta. Concerning as to if they can turn it around

 

[KTMLew01]

Or, as I mentioned, horsepower.

No sir

 

[Brentford]

Kaz Grala in 9th?? That’s gotta be a misprint.

 

[BobbyFord]

Seriously, WTF is happening??

 

[antman12]

If nothing else the 54 must’ve had a lot of fun that last 30 laps.

The racing gods are smiling on us. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I was gonna comment the exact thing. They just gonna cruise under caution for 20 laps?

This ain’t racin.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Pit now, scuff them, and switch at the stage?

 

[MikeInIllinois]

They'll probably run a lot of caution laps to help save the tires.

 

[Greg]

They will burn up their tires for the stage points.

 

[Brentford]

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard you say the opposite, so I’m still trying to figure out what you consider to be “racing.”

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Trying to clean all the marbles and trash off the track and out of the pits. Good idea.
I'm loving this race. Old school at it's best.

Tires that don’t go away in 20 laps

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hocevar and LaJoie dropped to 27th and 28th on that restart. Spire in the mud.
