Cup RACE thread — Darlington

[TexasRaceLady]

Finished the mowing from yesterday. Lunch. Ready for the race. One of my favorite tracks

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Six hours of birding and kayaking. Highlights included my first views of the year for turkeys (a dozen with one displaying tom), Swallow-tailed Kites (four!) and a gnatcatcher. The dogs have been washed. Ready to watch the greatest oval on any circuit.

DW did the thing!!! And did it damn well!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Well, they made lap 1! LOL

 

[REBS31]

Logano currently getting outpaced by Cody Ware lol

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

Looks like the cars are driving like ****. Which is a good thing.

 

[wi_racefan]

#6 looking good

 

[Turtle84]

Amigo and Kez going to work early

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

Everybody talks about Blaney (for good reason), but Hocevar is one of the best at driving his way through the field.

 

[Turtle84]

The 43 Petty blue will never get old

Bradley K on the move. Fastest car for a good chunk of this early run

 

[wi_racefan]

Man 22 is slow

Lap down.

 

[Turtle84]

Kyle Busch looking better than 28th today

 

[Charlie Spencer]

52 laps is a long way to go, Ryan.

On one of my Darlington trips, Dale Jr was still running Busch. Dad was on his case about being careful entering pit road --- yada, yada, yada.
Junior had no problems during his race.
Dad spun out entering pit road.

Good to see drivers having to really be aware of how to handle their car.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Horrible stop for #45

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

I’m liking Brad K’s chances today. Races like this are his style.

 

[Turtle84]

Kez Biffle throwback to the lead, love that.

Be interesting to see the running order at the end of the stage

See if Reddick's tires pay off.

 

[wi_racefan]

How are the 12 and 22 worlds apart?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Reddick had cut his deficit from over 14 seconds to under 8

Pit stop too slow

Larson: "dont know, I'm just not very good"

Pit stop too slow

Yeah, that's a shame. He's going to end the stage with a smaller deficit to Kez than he gave up on the stop.

 

[wi_racefan]

Im sorry, but the cars are still to easy to drive. You run this far and there isn't even a "big moment"

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Buuba once again quietly taking care of business.
