Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street

[Biggreen695]

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.

Whoever is to blame is an absolute moron

These aren’t oval cars

The cars are all the same on every track now. That was the goal of the Next Gen. No more specialized chassis.

 

[Goose61]

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

It's good that some people here still have a sense of humor.

If they had started two hours or so ago, I’d imagine this race would have been over already. The late start times that these networks are supposedly mandating are a detriment to the sport

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

why?

 

[ahhculdee]

Race control is terrible.

I’m not going to believe the set up is the same between oval car and road course car.

 

[Kiante]

Nice and sunny in Daytona

Rain just would have followed.

It’s not but you can change camber and springs and all that at the track.

 

[Blaze]

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

and again, they shouldn't have been been out there. I said that before the wreck even happened it was to wet.

Would have a monsoon if NASCAR went there tonight.

 

[HoneyBadger]

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?

Yes. They did last year with the NXS race.

[Jorge De Guzman]

Bell wants to race it, I love this dude.

 

[Brentford]

Let’s be honest, it’d rain inside Ford Field if NASCAR was racing in that dome.

 

[BobbyFord]

Bell wants to race it, I love this dude.

He’s good when it’s sideways

 

[Spotter22]

Whats laughable Is every weatherman and forecast was at worst a 30% chance of rain and then this. And now Bell is talking about get the cars back on the track! Lets go!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

We’re gonna be done for a while

 

[Clutch]

Bell. Love his attitude

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

He’s good when it’s sideways

A hell of a talent.

 

[Spotter22]

Tell every race team you have till 6 to get ready and we will go back green! Last year was worst than this,so strap them on and lets go!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Chicago is 23XI’s HOMMMEEE Track!!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hey Carson, why do you race like a huge wanker sometimes?

 

[BobbyFord]

Hocevar weighed in a little lighter this weekend.

 

[JBone88]

Such a misstep not having a Chicago Bulls livery for one of the 23XI cars

 

[Charlie Spencer]

People would just say MJ couldn't find a sponsor.

 

[Brentford]

It’s not just Chicago.

My city had between a 50% and 80% chance of rain throughout the day, but we haven’t seen a drop and it doesn’t look like we’re going to. For whatever reason, computers just haven’t been doing a great job at forecasting this year.

Their water main would blow up.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Joey Hand looks like Austin Hill's older, less hefty brother

It’s a summer tradition for me; watching every rain cell or storm just go poof before it gets here.

 

[Blaze]

It rained here the other day when we didn't have even a chance in the forecast lmao.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I've watched southeastern NC for years. Rain won't cross US 17. Rains in the western half of the county, same forecast area.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

If the rest of the race went without a caution, it would take about 90 minutes to run the remaining laps.

Main problem is these cars create such a huge roost. Only cars that can see are front maybe 4 cars. Remember Truex getting drilled at COTA?

No chance they make scheduled distance.

No chance they make scheduled distance.

I should have repeated last year's Bold Prediction again.

My weather person is pretty consistent at picking sunrise & sunset. Does that count?

 

[Brentford]

No chance they make scheduled distance.

I’d really like them to say we’re racing to a certain lap instead of a certain time.

 

[JBone88]

We’ll get some more laps in but who knows how many.

Between the rain and impending 10 wrecks to follow we may get a fluke result.
