I’d buy one of those inaugural Roval shirts and let it sit..maybe itll be worth something one day. I just learned something from one of The Hipster’s reports! With the Roval and now this, things are looking up

ROVAL™ seems like a great track to jump back into a Cup car after a 12-year hiatus.

Hamlin strikes again...

Hes a stuntman so I'm sure hes driven crazier places

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Forgot Barrett was a stuntman now for my own amusement I wish he had a chance in hell of winning to hear Rick Allen “ Hes a STUNTMAN!!!!! who’s going to win a Monster Energy Cup Race!!!!”

When they got to the camera in the helicopter you get a view of the stands and the lack of people there.

They’re not feeling Roval excitement

Did he learn to be a stuntman on a computer?

From the restarts it seems you really dont want to be on the outside

While being a watermelon farmer who faces daily adversity?

At his home track?

hard to not come out third or worse

The crowds are depressing compared to how good the races have been. Fingers crossed the crowds start coming back. My biggest problem is weather postponements not the racing. Ive been bit so many times preordering for Richmond, Dover, and Bristol. I always stay the extra day but it is a hastle. I never order tix anymore unless radar is good three or four days before race start.

Larson that consummate road racer is gone

"Tums Heartburn Turn One"?

Good lord....

 

[Efisher131]

Hey NBC, don't bother showing points until the last stage. It won't matter till then because they keep changing.

Kyle Larson wins Stage 1 of the Charlotte Grand Prix.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I said this as soon as the first testing laps were held and its holding true. Theres just no passing zones in the roval and makes for some slow follow the leader.

"Tums Heartburn Turn One"?

Good lord....

Just wait until they brake into Tums Heartburn Turn One as they take the One To Go Sponsored by Credit One Bank!

 

[DUN24]

I feel like after AJ's success on the last restarts all bets are off late in the race. Wouldn't be shocked to see them dive into one 4 wide at some point.

Fun to watch the fresh tires move towards the front at the end of S1.

 

[Towmater]

ROFLMAO!

I think my wife and I got a serving tray, a blender, and some stage points at our wedding if I recall correctly.

Thats all we are going to hear until the end of the season. I despise this retarded playoff format with 40 cars on the freaking track.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

If you’re here, watch the infield between 4 and 5. You can see them getting set up for passes in 7, 8, and accelerating onto the oval.

Maybe all the NASCAR fans traveled to Paris to attend the Rider Cup? LOL.

I'm gonna go try to finance some antacids in all the confusion.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

What we really needed was a chicane on pit road.

 

[StandOnIt]

I said this as soon as the first testing laps were held and its holding true. Theres just no passing zones in the roval and makes for some slow follow the leader.

Harvick gained 7 spots, Kyle gained 7 also first stage, Almirola gained 14 spots for example.

 

[DUN24]

Split strategy is going to make this interesting. Curious how the 42, 78, 18 hold up right here.

 

[StandOnIt]

The booth is too busy jabbering to show who is moving up

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Why tf is the yellow so long

 

[Racer1930]

Too many rules in NASCAR anyway - just pave the whole infield and let them drive wherever they want to.

"...entering the Tums heartburn turn."

What's heartburn?

 

[Gangrene Hockey #43]
