Cup RACE thread --- Chicago

[TexasRaceLady]

Ready for a good race. It ought to be interesting, to say the least.

Hope Johali and 19USMC stay cool and post pics. If anyone else is there, but sure to put up pics in the sticky thread.

Open at the green.

This race should have been moved to the nighttime, it's just too hot to be safe for drivers or fans, there is a heat advisory after all

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Y'all do know that it's hot at the track. LOL

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Pit stops will be huge on a day like today. Any loss in concentration on a hot day will be costly....

 

[Thegeneral23]

Menard sucks lol

 

[S.C.]

Menard sucks lol

ikr

 

[4tires17gals]

Truex up 8 spots

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Just looking ahead I feel like these guys need to really get after it during the 1st and 2nd stages. There is definitely weather on the horizon. I think this could be a pretty wild race....

 

[BobbyFord]

78 is on a rail.

The burton/letarte screaming over each other show has already gotten old.

 

[Efisher131]

78, 42, 14 look like the best cars. Gotta see Blaney in traffic before I pass judgement on him.

 

[BobbyFord]

Any Chevrolets here?

 

[KodiakRusty89]

I feel like the D shaped 1.5 milers are more conducive to passing than the quad ovals. I don't know if it's the transitions into the turns or what but they produce better racing recently, relatively speaking....

 

[S.C.]

Almirola to 4th!

 

[REBS31]

Any Chevrolets here?

Allegedly, but I have yet to see any

 

[Efisher131]

Harvick looking human today

 

[BobbyFord]

Truex into the top 10...

 

[S.C.]

just realized 7 of the top 10 are Fords

 

[BobbyFord]

10 car looks strong

 

[StandOnIt]

SHR is killing them

 

[ToyYoda]

The burton/letarte screaming over each other show has already gotten old.

What's the over/under on how many words Jr gets in today?

 

[REBS31]

The top 3 are Stewart-Haas and the one missing is Harvick

 

[FLRacingFan]

Harvick looking human today

With the other SHRs 1-3...

 

[StandOnIt]

Ford 1-5

 

[Kiante]

Truex is flying.

Holy moly he's closing in fast.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Truex is flying.

Holy moly he's closing in fast.

He has something to prove.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

How the hell can the 78 be that fast? I've watched a lot of races and I'm not sure if I've ever seen this at a non-restrictor plate track.

 

[REBS31]

What's the over/under on how many words Jr gets in today?

38

 

[jws926]

Any Chevrolets here?

What's a Chevy? has one ever been spotted ?

 

[BobbyFord]

The top 3 are Stewart-Haas and the one missing is Harvick

It’s early

 

[StandOnIt]

Elliott dropping like a rock

 

[JBone88]

Can they lock Burton/Letarte in the broom closet? those clowns never shut the **** up.

Totally forgot Jr was here cause the man can’t get a word in.

 

[ToyYoda]

I'll take the under.

 

[Efisher131]

Elliott dropping like a rock

But but, upgrades to the car! Hendrick is awful.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

NBCSN is all over the place.

 

[JBone88]

Also it’ll be the 78, 42 and 4 at the front by half way.

 

[jws926]

I'll take the under.

I will take over by 1

 

[BobbyFord]

Can they lock Burton/Letarte in the broom closet? Jesus those clowns never shut the **** up.

Totally forgot Jr was here cause the man can’t get a word in.

There’s a mute button on your remote.
