Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

[Bretzky]

Ty's first win could be coming. Tires and the 22 door jamming him are the only thing in his way.

 

[Greg]

I am loving this race. It is like we went back almost 40 years in time.

Back to the old Bias-Ply tires

 

[Spotter22]

If FOX wants to keep us informed, tell us which teams have used how many tires.

 

[Greg]

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

They saved a set unless others were just scuffing.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Brad Keselowski has a much-needed run going on.

 

[Brentford]

Ty's first win could be coming. Tires and the 22 door jamming him are the only thing in his way.

He found his way though the field with equal tires, and he drove through the field with older tires. Nothing standing in his way here.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Tires that don’t go away in 20 laps

Treat 'em with a little respect and there won't be any problem.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Ty is looking like he’s going to be a problem this race. Stellar car and an even more stellar drive for a 2nd year driver while navigating massive tire wear

This is the type of racing that drew me to NASCAR in the first place. I don't say this much but I wish Dad was alive to see this one.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Brad Keselowski has a much-needed run going on.

So of course he gets hit.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Cindric is the worst.

 

[antman12]

Still a looooooong way to go.

 

[Greg]

Back to the old Bias-Ply tires

I miss the Bia-Ply tires. This is some great stuff. I do wish they would last just a few more laps as in at least about 75 to 80 laps,. But I say that carefully because I will take this today over what we have seen in recent years.

 

[Brentford]

I think it should be customary to not mention how well a driver is running until the race is over. It jinxes them 99% of the time!

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[BobbyFord]

The drivers are clearly not loving this tire

 

[Obrien]

Now if we did not have these stupid stage cautions stopping the race, this could be a fun one

 

[Brentford]

The drivers are clearly not loving this tire

One of them does. We’ll find out which one in about 235 laps.

[Charlie Spencer]

That Kez fan from England spent his money well.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Race Manipulation!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

That Kez fan from England spent his money well.

Wouldn’t have been a bad bet. Kez falling like a rock through the field. Thanks to the Executive’s son in the 2.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Larson, you're 5th. You've been top 10 all day. Shut up and drive.

 

[Blaze]

Close to record for lead changes here

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Haley has been in and around the top 10 all day today, good drive

 

[BobbyFord]

Race Manipulation!

More hairspray!!

 

[Greg]

Maybe Goodyear could fix up a set of recaps for an extra set.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

JGR has dialed it in for today, like they did last fall. Props to them, they’ve dodged the extreme tire wear. I’m thinking Truex might be the one to halt the Ty Gibbs 1st win coronation

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Kez coming back up through to top 5.

 

[BobbyFord]

They’re going to run out of tires

 

[Brentford]

Someone’s gotta bite the bullet and bring out the caution to help the others. Probs to Berry for volunteering!

 

[antman12]

Berry…noooooooo

 

[KTMLew01]

Reports of bandits stealing 18 inch tires off cars in parking lot.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Good pit stop for the 11. Out 1st

 

[Naitch]

Nice to see a race that actually tests the fundamentals of racing (you know like saving tires) instead of coddling these drivers like children.

 

[Brentford]

Man, my job has people call out because they are tired. Jamie can hardly talk, but she’s out there like a champ!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Reports of bandits stealing 18 inch tires off cars in parking lot.

Check the manufacturers. You can only run them if they came off the same brand.

 

[Magicmiler]

17.5 miles.. Not good.
