Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street Course

[Blaze]

Screw it. I’m all in. Maybe we’ll get Ross treatment and suddenly be the next Dale!

Nah. I’ve preached before about not winning like that.

 

[hmmm298]

I really hope not. I don’t want him winning this way.

I just want to see a deserving ringer win or at least definitely not lose it that way no matter who it is. I’m afraid that’s what’s going to happen though. Especially since they tend to try to use up part timers.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Getting dark in my neck of the woods in Chicago area. This is close to the Jeff Gordon 2015 Martinsville of what’s left of daylight

 

[aunty dive]

Elliott’s not fast enough to turn the 91.

 

[FLRacingFan]

He’s gonna have to win a true modern Cup race to get it done.

 

[Blaze]

On the straightaway?

Yeah. Like it was a racing mistake… those happen to everyone.!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Yeah. Like it was a racing mistake… those happen to everyone.!

How does Chase pull this out of his ass?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m thinking at least one more GWC after this restart.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

How does Chase pull this out of his ass?

I don't think even a corkscrew will do it.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I’m thinking at least one more GWC after this restart.

I suspect NASCAR will have to limit the number of attempts due to darkness.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Good restart

 

[REBS31]

Would this be the first non-charter win since the system began?

 

[hmmm298]

I think the single file restarts actually have really helped SVG a ton also.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Would this be the first non-charter win since the system began?

No

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’s official now . Comeon SVG

 

[TexasRaceLady]

After a crappy start in the rain, this race has gotten good! Need to see it tried again, hopefully in good weather.

 

[Michfan]

I love watching history, amazing performance!

 

[LibertyU24]

wow just wow

 

[acmerocket]

so cool

 

[Blaze]

Damn. That’s ****** awesome

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I don’t want to hear any more about how awesome the regular drivers are when a guy who’s never been in one of these cars can come in and flat pimp slap the field.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Badass! Hell yeah, Shane.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

And Rick Allen doesn’t butcher it!

 

[antman12]

Amazing

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

SVG needs an F1 ride. He’s that darned talented

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Alright He did it!!!

Congrats to Shane Van Gisbergen and Trackhouse Racing!!!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

What a performance.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I don’t want to hear any more about how awesome the regular drivers are when a guy who’s never been in one of these cars can come in and flat pimp slap the field.

And having to learn to shift with right hand instead of the left. That would mess with my mind.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

The field got Road Course Ringer’d. This dude came in and got him some

 

[HoneyBadger]

TRACKHOUSE!!!

 

[FLRacingFan]

I don’t want to hear any more about how awesome the regular drivers are when a guy who’s never been in one of these cars can come in and flat pimp slap the field.

Y’all underestimate how good that series is, the talent that’s in it. And their platform is closer to the Cup car than anything else.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Man that's pretty cool, respect.

 

[LibertyU24]

What a treat for a race we though might not even happen today or ever.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Somewhere Andy Lally and Boris Said shed a silent tear.

 

[hmmm298]

And also two in a row for Trackhouse now after being neutered

 

[Blaze]

I was really entertained.

 

[AdoubleU24]

How does Chase pull this out of his ass?

Man you really gotta chill with this **** lol. Y'all are just as bad as the ones you constantly complain about

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Well NASCAR…while I truly miss Chicagoland Speedway….I was dead wrong about this race, You’ll have my money next year for this one.

 

[JBone88]

Get the 91 a charter and let Shane van Gisbergen run fulltime. The next Marcos Ambrose. Except in a championship caliber ride.
