Cup RACE thread --- Darlington

Call the electrician!

I'll throw my voltmeter in my truck and head that way.

 

[Spotter22]

I hope the MUSCO engineers on the property

 

[Speedbowl14]

I get **** hits the fan from time to time... but how does this happen??? And a bigger deal... how does this not get fixed within 45ish minutes that they've been out?????

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Halfway. Until now, this puppy was clicking along. Should be able to finish the stage from here.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

You could sweep sand off the track after 500 miles of 43 cars running around it

While we are in caution, I’d just like to say I think this next Gen with the tire wear would be really interesting to see race there

 

[Spotter22]

I hope they let the pit stops happen and then bring them down and stop it.

 

[StandOnIt]

Hello Byron leader in the series.

They’re just burning yellow laps

I think it would be a good race but this car has better grip even on old tires than the cars of the 80's and 90's.Im shocked that we are having these 100 lap green flag funs at Darlington to be honest.

They won't/can't push it with how sensitive the tie rods are. Body is great, suspension is not

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Local power company to the rescue

Spotters say can't see car in that corner.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Would be completely logically to red flag it while they fix the lights but logic doesn’t apply to NASCAR

 

[BobbyFord]

Why the hell are they driving around under yellow?????????
Red flag, ffs

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This is giving me time to order desert. I’m not going to miss a lap of green

 

[Spotter22]

STOP THE DAMN CARS!!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

STOP THE DAMN CARS!!

Go green.

 

[BobbyFord]

Buncha clowns running this gig

 

[mkline]

[Truex_rox]

PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS FOR EVERYONE!!1!

Given that this basically never happens, I would say that NASCAR is doing a damn good job. Technical issues happen.

 

[KTMLew01]

They're waiting on you.

I gotta do my hair and change my outfit. Be little bit.

 

[jws926]

If you had "race red flagged for inside track lights not working" on your 2023 Bingo card, this is your moment.

 

[Spotter22]

Go green.

I'll give you my headset and you go spot it.

 

[BobbyFord]

They’ll run another 10 under yellow after the lights are fixed.

 

[cheesepuffs]

How is that not working on the car under the red for Bell? Even sharing pictures with the crew chief is an advantage because then you can analyze and better plan the fix.

But it took too long to stop them

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Red flag. Can we get an electrician from the stands out to the lights in turn 3 and 4?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'll give you my headset and you go spot it.

I couldn't do that in full sunlight.

Sterling Marlin is on the phone with NASCAR asking for his 2002 Daytona 500 trophy.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

That’s a hell of a Darlington Stripe Bell got for himself

This kinda thing happens at dirt tracks all the time. Usually not an easy fix either. Electricity will Hertz you.

Nothing new about looking at the car.

You cant touch the car, look all you want, take a picture, take a nap whatever but they are within the rules.

Dude was touching the car.

Exactly why NASCAR is doing a damn good job. Lighting a race track is no easy task and they manage to pull it off multiple times a year with minimal issues.

Though I guess they could have planned better for what happens if a light happens to fail.
