Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street

[Blaze]

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?

Exactly, we would end up with more wrecks, and people blaming the drivers over NASCAR for making a stupid call.

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

Believe they said race ends at 8:20PM. City ordinance.

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

Only rains here if it comes inland from the ocean.

Y'all do know weather forecasts are for a general area, right? When the TV weatherman in that big city 20 miles away says 70%, it applies to a few counties, not specifically to your back yard. You may be in that 30% that gets nothing.

that's true.

only one that's strange is the one I mentioned since it was like 0% chance lol. It straight up came out of nowhere.

Seems like a good time for a CAT UPDATE: Of course, she sleeps when they are racing, but she’s awake when they’re not.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I vote for, if they can’t resume tonight, go to Chicagoland Speedway tomorrow morning and finish it.

In a perfect world that’d be super awesome

where 'finish it' is defined as another 250 miles.

 

[Mispeedway15]

We’re gonna be done for a while

Yup. Just run it tomorrow in full. Damn shame

 

[KTMLew01]

Sunset.

Talking head said 8:20. I assumed was city ordinance. But we know what assume gets ya.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

While I admit this layout races far better than I expected when announced, these are the issues with a street course vs. a dedicated road course. Poor drainage, inflexible scheduling, mandatory tear-down, no make‐up date.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Does not look good

 

[pjmolo]

I vote for, if they can’t resume tonight, go to Chicagoland Speedway tomorrow morning and finish it.

How 'bout next year they just start the race at Chicagoland.

Doesn’t get my vote.

 

[Greg]

Is that a 8:20 eastern or central time, limit?

 

[Blaze]

Congratulations to Ty Gibbs.

They call it? I put something else on for now.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Congratulations to Ty Gibbs.

New records for shortest distance, fewest laps, and biggest asterisk

 

[Spotter22]

OK,so NASCAR says this race will end at 8:20 CT, I believe we will get back under way at the latest 7:30 CT

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They call it? I put something else on for now.

No, just a prediction.

 

[HoneyBadger]

The biggest problem is these late start times NBC insists on.

Race from Chicagoland to The Loop on the expressway. Problem solved

 

[KTMLew01]

^^^meh...that's clear as muddy water. If overcast I'd think "darkness" could be tough to predict.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’s a detriment to the sport imo.

I posted link. Central. Post # 257

 

[Brentford]

If this race ended now, is it even possible to give it a race rating? How do you rate a race that only went 25 of the 75 planned laps?

Thanks!

That crew guy on the #38.

 

[Greg]

Put a speed limit on them. Start them moving at 30 mph, increasing by 2 mph every 2 minutes.

Penalties for breaking the speed limit would require the driver to let everybody pass them, which would put them a lap down at a minimum. Penalized cars also lose their speed limit clock and must reset back to 30 mph max and work back up by 2 mph every 2 minutes while everyone else is progressively building a longer unpenalized clock.

Boom there it is! Comers and Goers, rebuilding the vortex too

 

[Tony_K]

That's the most personality I've seen out of Bowman in a long time.
