Cup RACE thread — Darlington

[jaqua19]

All of RFK 123 that's special crazy

Its something.

 

[BobbyFord]

11 car is better. Just had to wreck it up a bit.

 

[jaqua19]

SVG up to 16

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Can’t say I was expecting this

 

[BobbyFord]

DW in the start booth was nice.

 

[Turtle84]

Hamlin wrecks Erik Jones and pounds the wall and picks up a tenth or two lol

the good ol' beneficial damage walling

 

[Turtle84]

Ross and Amigo running 10th and 11th

 

[BobbyFord]

9 made a mistake, staying out so long

 

[jaqua19]

11 car is better. Just had to wreck it up a bit.

Looks worse this run so far from what I can see. I wonder if there's still damage

 

[jaqua19]

Larson: "see how fast his car is on the straightaway" in reference to the 11, who is slower on laptimes right now, mainly in the turns.

11 is not driving nearly as good as the last run. Wonder if there's some damage or if the track is going through some changes

 

[BobbyFord]

Strategery.
Lots of passing throughout the field. Multiple lines thru the corners. This package shows promise here at Darlington.

 

[Turtle84]

Same Radio as real life on the freeway

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Amigo in the top dozen all day.

This has felt like a classic NASCAR race. Long runs, high tire wear, comers and goers, lots of attrition, cars handling like trash. Smashing yes on Jeff Gluck’s poll.

What is going on with this coverage? Screen was frozen a solid minute and a half just now.

Working for me.

 

[jaqua19]

Justin, go back to O'Reilly dude. Thats how you screw yourself and your teammates lol

 

[Blake Hylton]

Working for me.

Could be something on my end, was curious as it was across both tvs in the house

 

[jaqua19]

Larson really fast at end of run

 

[jaqua19]

Reddick back in the mix

 

[SeventyGTX]

Denny going backwards

 

[wi_racefan]

RFK is stout today

 

[jaqua19]

Running long did NOT work out for Chase

 

[jaqua19]

6/17/45 class of the field

 

[Charlie Spencer]

"SHUT UP, CHRIS!"

 

[SeventyGTX]

Running long did NOT work out for Chase

Yeah, when he finally pulled in to pit, the guys that had already been in were 2 seconds a lap quicker.

 

[jaqua19]

"What we talked about before the race, with tires. I'm going to do that now".

"Okay!"

 

[Turtle84]

Amigo in the top dozen all day.

Ross gonna go hail melon

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ross gonna go hail melon

It's Darlington. Half the field goes Hail Melon whether they want to or not.

 

[jaqua19]

Turns out it was a loose wheel.

 

[Turtle84]

Denny car paying the price for the wall hit it seems. This car durability is off the charts tho, like driving with damage off or minimal.

 

[Turtle84]

It's Darlington. Half the field goes Hail Melon whether they want to or not.

I knew it looked familiar

 

[StandOnIt]

I think we are going to see some stripes a bit later when they turn it up a notch.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I'm really enjoying watching Kes up front.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What value do Myers and McMurray (or any other pair of infield commentors) bring to the coverage? Give that time to Larry Mac and let him talk about whatever he wants.

 

[Turtle84]

geez Free Bird flying

 

[StandOnIt]

ah, the weekly Herbst.

 

[wi_racefan]

We'll see how the 19 hangs on

 

[Charlie Spencer]

geez Free Bird flying

What is Free Bird? Googling it refers to some obscure song.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

Weekly Herbst caution…*checks notes* wait, 23XI has three cars???
