Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street

If Chase Briscoe is up front, expect a wreck.

 

[Efisher131]

Briscoe can really be a bonehead sometimes. I think he’s overrated talent-wise.

 

[BobbyFord]

What happened to SVG?

Got clobbered by Briscoe

 

[Blaze]

Good. I guess NASCAR realized it’s in no condition race.

 

[Goose61]

Good job, Briscoe.

Jackass.

 

[Efisher131]

Let’s park em and wait for more rain

 

[AdoubleU24]

Yeah, they usually wait until some guys have their day ruined to use common sense

 

[Spotter22]

What happened to SVG?

No driving race car driver

 

[FLRacingFan]

Good news for the rest of the field I suppose, that’s a huge bummer though. SVG is so entertaining out there.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Can we watch Indy at Mid Ohio during the red? That was decent.

 

[Blaze]

People really gonna blame someone who wrecked because of how wet the track is and not NASCAR for having them out there? Lmao. Could’ve happened to anyone…

 

[Spotter22]

Mr Race Director, do this in no more that 10 minutes!

 

[BobbyFord]

I’m having deja vu all over again

 

[Efisher131]

This is it for today I think.

Definitely sucked all the air out of the room, that's for sure.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Nice and sunny in Daytona

Jesus Christ.

Not sure what the backup plan is. Can they award full points if they don’t make it to halfway/end of stage 2?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Man that weather is coming down. Just incredibly bad luck

 

[Brentford]

Okay, just bring them back tomorrow morning. We certainly aren’t going to have enough time to finish this one tonight.

Or can they do that, being in downtown Chicago?

There is no tomorrow morning.
Folks are gonna want to commute.

I retract, this may be in delay for 45min.

No, have to take everything up tonight

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Or can they do that, being in diwntown Chicagi?

They cannot.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

If this race gets rained out, can we say this experiment has been a success? Last year marred by weather too. It’s just….frustrating. Maybe some ideas are best left in Iracing.

The plan to have LSD and Michigan Ave open in the morning for rush hour.

Pretty sure they did this in the xfinity race last year if I’m not mistaken

They have to get this done today. They literally start taking down barriers after race

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Can’t wait for this to not get back going and NASCAR awards points.

 

[Efisher131]

Load em up and run the last 50 laps at Chicagoland tomorrow afternoon

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Jesus Christ.

Why bother with the points? Split the purse 36 ways and call it a learning experience. Assuming anyone learns anything...

 

[Brentford]

So then, I assume NASCAR has already discussed what they would do in this situation, because they always make sure to think ahead.

They can have a street race anywhere. They need to pick a summer city. (Los Angeles.)

 

[Mike Crayne]

Wake me up if the call drivers to cars.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Shane’s driver suit is pretty awesome ha ha

But it didn't. He knew better than to jerk around in those conditions.

I imagine the start time is dictated entirely by NBC. It’s a great event, but you’re playing with fire when you scheduled green for 4 PM local time. If this falls during the TNT portion of the season next year maybe they’ll have a different perspective.

 

[Biggreen695]

How can you not like SVG, bro just seems like a genuinely good dude

Good shout. Not sure they even got more than 15 laps or so done in that one before pulling the plug.

You had me in the first half

These aren’t oval cars
