Cup RACE thread --- Darlington, Rd. 2 *fingers crossed*

[ChexOrWrex]

What about the locusts?

What about the droid attack on the wookies?

 

[Spotter22]

I was nver one to shorten races but Darlington is making me think! This is bad ass

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Harvick back out front excited to see what he’s got vs the new players tonight

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Here is a one-hour radar loop. Darlington is roughly where the letter "r" is in Florence.

EDIT: The heavy-ish blob of rain to the southwest is more than an hour away, but there are light scattered showers all around the track.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Here is where Gustafson fails as a CC. The #43 played track position early and they have stayed in the top 10.

Chase has a top 5 car but keeps getting mired on the inside lane and has done nothing but lose spots with these short runs.

Alan should be playing the track position game. Especially with the rain threat.

This. Why the *^^* do you pit there?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Truth be told that shouldn’t have brought out a yellow.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

They knew that going in

Huh. Well I didn’t whoops

 

[Pat]

The cars are pretty in the lights

 

[Bill Tetley]

I hope no other drivers get an "itch" while Bowyer is leading

Guy is an absolute disgrace to the sport

 

[jws926]

For a second when I saw the 17 go around I was thinking Stenhouse

Oh good, I wasnt the only one

 

[kkfan91]

Blaney in the wall hard

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Uh oh damage for Blaney, Darlington Stripe

 

[donthaveanickname]

Bowyer's car is a freakin rocket.

 

[Kiante]

Blaney noooooo...

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Another race gone to crap for Blaney.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Killed it.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Bowyer's car is a freakin rocket.

Fresh tires

 

[FLRacingFan]

If you have a decent enough car you can definitely make the added track position work with 10-15 lap older tires. Just need a long enough green run.

 

[Kiante]

Fresh tires

Been fast all night.

 

[StandOnIt]

Harvick time

 

[donthaveanickname]

Fresh tires

The 14 has been the fastest car all day long.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I would have no problem if Clint takes the lead and the skies open up.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Imagine if Harvick wins stage 2 and then it rains out.

If they win twice at Darlington within 4 days of each other that is one of the greatest feats in sport history.

 

[StandOnIt]

I guess they have to tout the Yotas, they are sponsoring the race, but it is pretty bad when they say Truex ran his fastest lap while he is getting passed by Clint.

 

[Kiante]

Can't say these guys aren't driving hard.

 

[JBone88]

Another race gone to crap for Blaney.

I’m immune at this point.

 

[harkin]

I don’t want top 4 Toyotas, I want top 15 lap times.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

There goes Custer.

 

[StandOnIt]

crap, there went the 41

 

[carolinabuff]

I think Bowyer will catch Harvick and win this stage

EDIT: Right after I post this the caution comes out

 

[Kiante]

There goes Custer.

Suarez is laughing manically as he passes him.

 

[StandOnIt]

Now is when I would hate to be a crew chief

 

[2019PensekeFan]

The Lady got Custer.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Cole just practicing blowing the rear fenders out when he wins some day.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Use those sets of tires up. That's halfway.

 

[kkfan91]

Kenseth and Bubba got together

 

[ChexOrWrex]

anyone gonna take 2 tires?

 

[Kiante]

Oof Wallace and Kenseth got into one another avoiding Custer in the wall.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Sure wish I was at the track. I'm loving this night racing at The Lady.

Are you giving grades on wall contact?

Blaney has an A++, so far.
