48 loose wheel for the 82nd time this year

 

[Kiante]

JJ has been marching through the field, too. Sucks to see, I think he will be in the running for a top 10 later on.

 

[kkfan91]

Commitment line violation too

 

[LJ7201]

This just isnt the same 48 team

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Thinking of these as throwbacks is making me feel old as hell.

I know what you mean. *sigh*

No kidding

Figures the 48 starts doing beyond terrible when A, Gordon retires and B, I stop watching.

I had to sit there and take his wins and championships all those years. Now I cant even take a victory lap without feeling sorry for the state Hendrick Motorsport find itself in. Good lord.

 

[DewChaser988]

Jimmie just screwed himself

But Jeff Gordon is out there racing with him right now

 

[Johali]

The 48 is gaining on the 42 by a second a lap trying to get one of his 3 laps back.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson over 6 seconds ahead again. You would think he would try to save a car that good.

How do you think I feel.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Oh, what a gorgeous sunset!

 

[ToyYoda]

There should be some throwback commercials too

Or they could just throw it back to the race.

 

[Johali]

That was quick, he just passed the 42.

 

[DewChaser988]

What is it about NASCAR and beautiful sunsets?

 

[ToyYoda]

Nice 2016 Carl Edwards throwback scheme on Suarez's car.

 

[jws926]

I really hope a throwback car wins, and not a "in the spirit" throwback.

 

[DSquad48]

15 on lead lap after 80 laps lol

[DewChaser988]

Even though Austin's Quicksilver car does look awesome I wish Austin was throwing back to another much more famous Dale Sr. Goodwrench scheme

 

[machinistman3]

Really Jimmy ,really?What the crap is wrong with this team these days?This season can't be be over fast enough for them.If they make the playoffs they won't advance.I just cant believe this is the team that won 7 championships.Unreal

 

[jws926]

Sr's throwback is about to get some airtime..............as Larson laps the wannatator

Gordon wasn't the end all, be all of Hendrick. A new car this season and Chevy has struggled overall, its not easy coming out of the gates slow. Think about it, Chevy has two wins this season. Now, if they start next year like this, they will have issues.

Hendrick definitely has taken a bit of a dip, but it takes time to work back forward. All teams struggle with performance at one point. Hell, look at Penske as well.

 

[ToyYoda]

Larson's had some great throwbacks in the past (Mello Yello, Coors Light Kyle Petty cars). A little bit of a letdown to see him in a DC Solar car tonight.

 

[carolinabuff]

The stands are full !!!

This seems to be the only place where you don't see half-full stands.

Jimbo’s been know to F himself. Trying to get too much for too little return. Thankfully it’s early.

Its a big let down, and they have the nerve to call it a throw back to Davey's scheme , just no.

 

[ToyYoda]

Free Florida Georgia Line concert at Indy next week. I'd still feel like I overpaid if I attended.

 

[DSquad48]

Damn Steve, a cup holder in the seats?? I’ll be there next year

I didn't even know it was supposed to be. Doesn't look like anything Davey ever drove.

The scheme design is good. DC Solar is just a bunch of douches and wont allow throwback colors.

Don't know what is worse, the race at Indy or getting stuck with a free concert of FGL at Indy


*I dont like Indy

There has never been a better PSA for wearing ear protection at the race track.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Gee, that's a cluster of cars in front of the leader. Could be hell trying to pass them.

Ugh.

Larson is flying like gell tonight.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson don't do something stupid. wait he did SMH 7 second lead damn he is dumber than a fence post

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Seems like Larson forced the issue a bit.
Replay --- 3 slid up into the 42.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Damn scanner battery died on me around lap 65. Charged it for two days. Must just be old.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Dillion and Byron finally front and back

I really hope a photographer at the track got a good shot of that
