Cup RACE thread --- Darlington

[ToyYoda]

I think the Auto Owners paint scheme adds 50hp to Truex’s car.

 

[Efisher131]

Truex either destroys everybody or you never hear from him all day

 

[racer8]

Truex had almost a 15 second lead

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Martin Truex Jr wins stage 2 with a 12 second lead.

This package produces some great racing on shorter runs, but isn't so great on long runs.

Dude might be the best guy out there. It’s insane how good he is on intermediates with low downforce

 

[Kiante]

Truex with a big lead and all, I'm really enjoying this.

To me it just seems right.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Except for the leader checking out, the racing from 2nd on back has been phenomenal

No problem finding battles around the track. I hope TV is picking them up.

I have no problem with a fast car driving away.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Will be interesting to watch this going forward. With such low humidity the ambient temperature is going to drop quite a bit. Should grip up a lot

Bring a fast car, be rewarded. By the way, Larson had 10 second leads at Atlanta, Vegas and Kansas with NA18D

They are. Fox booth is having a ton of fun.

Wish they did like NBC, and had an old school announcer come in for a few laps.

 

[HoneyBadger]

It's too bad NASCAR wants races to end at night. Why the last stage is always the worst.

Wish they did like NBC, and had an old school announcer come in for a few laps.

Mike Joy is an old school announcer. He's been calling these races since 1975.

Mike Joy counts as an an old-school announcer IMO.

Clearly I meant someone who doesn’t do it all the time man. I just like throwback weekend a lot and love hearing these voices you don’t hear all the time.

Bob Jenkins is battling cancer and Ken Squier is not in good health. Who else is there? Bill Weber?

I’m sure they can find someone, maybe. I don’t know man. Lol. I just really like it is all.

Mike Joy is old school.
Who did you have in mind?

It gets to a single file parade pretty quick

Again, I meant someone NOT always there.

I ain’t exactly sure who. But I’m sure someone would have been available.

I admit I don't know what paving costs but Logano spent 80,000 paving a 1/20th mile?

 

[JBone88]

I can’t stand FOX. Battle for top 5 position heating up IMMEDIATELY cut to commercial

 

[Magicmiler]

I admit I don't know what paving costs but Logano spent 80,000 paving a 1/20th mile?

It's 4 feet thick... because frost heaves...

 

[kkfan91]

Oh ok that makes more sense then, thanks

 

[harkin]

Bowman staying out seems sub-optimal.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Bowman staying out seems sub-optimal.

Why is race control not calling him in?

 

[BobbyFord]

19 is up in the Gant line

 

[Blaze]

MJT is going to have to choke this one away at this point

 

[DanicaFreak]

Larson could have something for the 19

 

[HoneyBadger]

If NASCAR didn't start these races so late, these cars would still be slipping and sliding around. But we've got to have a cool track and the finish be the worst part of the race for the left coast.

 

[cheesepuffs]

Byron is gonna Matt Kenseth his way to a championship this year

 

[BobbyFord]

Larson could have something for the 19

No.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Truex is pulling away and Fox acting like Larson's closing in.

 

[BobbyFord]

Dang, the 2 guys are really struggling

 

[FLRacingFan]

Larson is sliding all around the track. Can’t say he isn’t trying but the MTJ is just damn good with the low downforce stuff.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

money stops

 

[HoneyBadger]

Byron is gonna Matt Kenseth his way to a championship this year

I'd love to see it. F the playoffs.

 

[antman12]

Dang it!

 

[aunty dive]

Larson closing.

And now he is lol
