Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street Course

[KTMLew01]

Im watching on the DVR, so I'm a bit behind you all but I'm here!!!!

TV feed is at least 15 seconds behind the YouTube of SVG.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Slicks coming on.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Decent amount of track seems dry but that McDonald’s section at the end still seems a bit wet with some puddles.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Probably not much longer until they put on slicks.

 

[Spotter22]

These yellow street lights lining the course keep making me think a caution is out

Alexa turn lights green

 

[StandOnIt]

NBC has good coverage except for the shrieking.

I've had the sound down since Kyle hit the tires. It's a clown show. More fun with SVG's in car, he is giving Reddick hell lol. Hey he got him

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Anarchy this lap. Button has a host of problems

 

[FLRacingFan]

Thought that pit entry was sketch yesterday.

Entry on the inside of a corner?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

SVG passed Reddick but that’s not important apparently

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Chase having a good weekend.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Two hits for Blaney the last two weeks. Hope his concussion symptoms don’t pop back up

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

That's the best paint scheme Chase Elliott's ever run.

 

[Brickyard1996]

SVG passed Reddick but that’s not important apparently

I think Jeff Burton was yelling “Slicks don’t have tread!!!” when it took place

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

That 9 scheme is hideous. Commit to either black with orange or white with orange. Both are kind of gross

 

[StandOnIt]

no commercials either

 

[Brentford]

Honestly, I’m loving this! It’s not been easy for these guys, but it’s not supposed to be.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I need to see more of SVG in a Cup car. Would love to see him at The Glen or Indy

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Also is it me or does there seem to actually be more passing opportunities here for them than there are in several road courses they go to?
Or maybe they just needed some rain to fix the road course package a little bit.

Okay, I'm starting to warm to this.

Fight!

He's been complaining about the new generation of Supercars a lot, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in NASCAR full-time eventually.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Fight!

Pretty sure the paint scheme is the last thing the #9 team is thinking about this weekend. If it isn't, it should be.

He’ll definitely be back.

Can we please take the “street race in city X” idea and bury it in a shallow grave where it belongs and return to Daytona at 11 am yet or do any of you need more convincing?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Noah is having a terrible day to say the least

 

[jws926]

Noah is not having a good day

 

[aunty dive]

Bacon deserves better than to be associated with Noah Gragson.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Might be time to call it a day and head to the hotel.

 

[LibertyU24]

i'm thinking Wendy's for dinner tonight. French fries and a Frosty

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bagley's radio roots bringing a ton of value to this.

"TROUBLE TURN 6!"

 

[StandOnIt]

He’ll definitely be back.

Yeah some team would need to have him on a road course at least. He's a ringer from hell.

 

[REBS31]

i'm thinking Wendy's for dinner tonight

Don't take out any guardrails

I'd rather be at Road America or the Chicago oval BUT if this and Daytona are my only two options, I'll take this over a plate race every damn time. I'll also take this over Bristol dirt.

Looks amazing in 30th!!! Yay!!! Hopefully it’s shown again when he stuffs it into a wall again!

 

[KTMLew01]

Had Single combo last week. Was pretty unimpressed and I used to love that place. Too dry.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I wonder if Wendy's knows about Noah possibly winning this and leaving chili and a Frosty all over the finish line.

 

[LibertyU24]

Noah's gonna get a parking ticket.

I was super skeptical…maybe the most on the board, of this race but I’ll be honest I’ve enjoyed my viewing of it thus far. Watching drivers apply their skill in the wet while hanging onto the car is fun to me. Now I wouldn’t want to see this every week and my fear is they go overboard in adding these to the schedule like they did with the road courses, but 1-2 a year wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Yeah I love it
