Cup RACE thread --- Chicago

[jws926]

no offense there Kurt, but you got your ass beat

That was just that, hard clean racing for a stage win and he got beat .

 

[BobbyFord]

I thought Kurt had finally outgrown it.

No.

 

[NASCAR Apologist]

That's what makes stage racing great. Drivers didn't race hard until the end before.

 

[StandOnIt]

It's gonna be close. That line of storms is moving quite fast.

it's in the same place it was at the start of the race and is creeping NNE slowly

 

[SeventyGTX]

No.

Evidently not.

 

[jws926]

Holly hell that shove from MTJ was big

 

[Brentford]

it's in the same place it was at the start of the race and is creeping NNE slowly

Awe, okay. This was the first time I looked at it. I guess it's moving slower than I thought.

It is moving slowly! It's moved about 50-75 miles in the last 90-120 minutes. I've been keeping an eye on it all afternoon...lol

 

[DUN24]

42 to the point

 

[jws926]

Damn Larson

 

[ToyYoda]

Some damn good racing going on today for a 1.5.

 

[DewChaser988]

Wow this is the best race I have seen at Chicago in sometime

 

[jws926]

Some damn good racing going on today for a 1.5.

No kidding!!!

 

[BobbyFord]

Bye

 

[ReturnTrip]

We haven't had an AROUND GOES today. Rick has that baby in his pocket ready to go.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

The 11 goes around....another restart coming...

 

[jws926]

Hamlin doing the electric slide

 

[StandOnIt]

Wonder if somebody dumped Hambone

 

[JBone88]

Larson is such a dope. Always picks the wrong line when the race is on the line.

 

[BobbyFord]

Henny Damlin goes around.

 

[DewChaser988]

Mr. Adderall just went around

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Some damn good racing going on today for a 1.5.

I second this motion. This is GOOD racing.

 

[Switchback]

Thank God they didn't give them the asr package they wanted here, this is great.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Denny just lost it.

 

[Kiante]

Denny's back is broken, its spinal.

If anyone gets this. Lol.

 

[jws926]

Wow this is the best race I have seen at Chicago in sometime

This has always been on of my personal least favorites races of the season, not today, this is great.

 

[BobbyFord]

Logano is the new sitting duck.

 

[DewChaser988]

Seriously, what did NASCAR do to the cars this weekend to produce such great racing?

 

[DUN24]

Weather on the way

 

[SlicedBread22]

I dunno if I like that call by the 22.. fingers crossed I guess.. it worked okay for Blaney

 

[JBone88]

This has been some great racing. So naturally rain is on the way.

 

[DUN24]

Seriously, what did NASCAR do to the cars this weekend to produce such great racing?

The track has multiple grooves..

 

[StandOnIt]

I dunno if I like that call by the 22.. fingers crossed I guess.. it worked okay for Blaney

18 laps on the lefts..and not out front, IDK about that call

 

[BobbyFord]

The track has multiple grooves..

Groovy!

 

[jws926]

Seriously, what did NASCAR do to the cars this weekend to produce such great racing?

I think its the track surface maybe, its still the original surface

 

[DewChaser988]

Next week will be fun for sure, god is the Daytona summer race amazing

 

[AdoubleU24]

Taking this race out of the playoffs was a huge mistake imo

 

[BobbyFord]

Next week will be fun for sure, god is the Daytona summer race amazing

The pace car has a shot at a plate race

 

[KodiakRusty89]

The track has multiple grooves..

Kansas has been really good the last two years as well. IMO, the D shaped 1.5 milers have been better than the quads; Texas, Atlanta and Charlotte. Atlanta is probably the best of the quads. I feel like the transitions make it easier for cars to run different lines. I'll be at Kentucky in 2 weeks so I'm hopeful for a good race. Two years ago was great while Truex dominated in 2017.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Missed stage one and most of stage two. Tuned in just in time for the amazing stage two finish.
