Cup RACE thread --- COTA

[FLRacingFan]

Byron is just too hooked up today. It’s gonna take some GWC divebombs to take the win away from him in all likelihood.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Fun battle here between the 24 and 1. Clean too

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Quit talking about no yellows, Mike. You're making me nervous.

 

[StandOnIt]

Damn good clean racing by the 1 and 24

 

[AdoubleU24]

Ross hard to pass, Ross also passes very easily because he drives thru everyone lol.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

If the roles were reversed, Ross would do it to him

He’s about to do it now.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Do you get unlimited spin and runs here or what? This stuff used to get penalized before. Rough driving used to be called. What happened to that rule?

Not usually anymore unless it’s egregious, unsafe, and intentional.

 

[BobbyFord]

Impressive run for Gibbs

 

[Spotter22]

Top 4 1.62

 

[Efisher131]

This is great racing

 

[Blaze]

Yeah, I mean I understand the never give up concept. But what's he gonna gain from being out there at this point? He's slow and he's not looking to be able to overtake anyone. Just do yourself a favor and park the car. Can't be comfortable driving that thing anyway.

Well, if any cars fall out he can gain more positions, which is more points.

 

[Magnethead]

Bowman didn't blend exiting pit road. Almost caused a small mess.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Random shot of pit road, because why the hell not?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I was wrong about not being entertained, business has indeed picked up. Strap it in.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Chastain thinking he’s SVG

Would work if these cars weren’t so nerfed on horsepower.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Still no pit timers. SMH.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Great stop by the 24 crew, wow. Really gapped the 1.

 

[Magnethead]

20 is gambling staying out. I think they want to make it to 20 laps.

 

[Spotter22]

24 absolutely murdered them on pit road. Gibbs was half second behind him now its 4.5

 

[Magnethead]

It's gonna be close. I think Bell will come.out in 2nd or third behind Byron

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Gosh I wish iRacing would let you run that wide without penalty points.

 

[Spotter22]

It's gonna be close. I think Bell will come.out in 2nd or third behind Byron

No sir

 

[hmmm298]

He got lose exiting turn 3 and in order to save it had to cut turn 4. So they were arguing he had no choice and no position was gained. The rule is the rule tho.

Happened to AJ yesterday so they should be aware of that rule. Not much to argue

 

[Efisher131]

Gosh I wish iRacing would let you run that wide without penalty points.

I ran an Xfinity race on iRacing earlier and the fast lap times were like 2:19 and IRL they were 2:13-2:14. That’s how much time you gain by doing that.

 

[Magnethead]

All strung out now. I wouldn't mind a caution....

 

[Efisher131]

All strung out now. I wouldn't mind a caution....

I’d rather have it end naturally than have a clown show at the end

 

[LibertyU24]

All strung out now. I wouldn't mind a caution....

Id like to see a nice boring finish

 

[hmmm298]

All strung out now. I wouldn't mind a caution....

Byron just too good

 

[BobbyFord]

All strung out now. I wouldn't mind a caution....

Yessssss

 

[Efisher131]

I bet Kamui doesn’t come back for a while

 

[Spotter22]

Unless we get a car face planted or caught in the gravel this one is over

 

[donthaveanickname]

That's the kind of moves Kamui made stick when he was driving for Sauber in the good old days.

 

[Blaze]

I don’t understand wanting a caution. Unless you just don’t want Byron winning or something.

 

[Magnethead]

Truex and Larson gonna move Bubba soon....

 

[Brentford]

I don’t understand wanting a caution. Unless you just don’t want Byron winning or something.

And who in their right mind wouldn’t want Byron to win? It’s what’s best for business!

 

[BobbyFord]

I don’t understand wanting a caution. Unless you just don’t want Byron winning or something.

Just kinda boring at this point

 

[Efisher131]

And who in their right mind wouldn’t want Byron to win? It’s what’s best for business!

Yeah all that personality he has

 

[LibertyU24]

This is the part where Id fast forward to the last lap if I couldnt have watched the race live.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

After looping it, Chase asked Alan was it worth it to pit for tires and hope for caution to stay out. They told him no. The Chosen One has really crapped the bed today.

 

[Brentford]

Just kinda boring at this point

Imagine how boring it would have been without the stage breaks!
