Cup RACE thread --- Daytona Road Course

Yep. Bet the brake hoses came off. Not sure the crush panels matter as much here.

Aren't the exhaust pipes on the right?

 

[Mispeedway15]

Rusty did that almost 20 years ago at Dega. Today, ... ?

Well they’d have to brake. Also I’m unsure if we have tires that would support faster speeds

Listening to the 48 radio. Jimmie is DONE with oval racing.

So much more enthusiasm and excitement reporting his car here than anywhere else. He's much enjoying road racing.

Truex having electrical issues.

 

[Magnethead]

That sucks hard for Truex

 

[Michfan]

This changes some things

So how long before he overdrives a corner, wheel hops, and blows it? (I kid, I kid)

We don't know man, anyone will be excited to be fast as he is today. Depending on how the car is drivers can sound elated or dejected, it happens.

Well they’d have to brake.

Would they? Rusty was wide open for a commercial shoot. Said it scared the crap out of him.

I'm sure GY could pull some of their NHRA guys over to make a tire live at that speed.

First the 18, than 11, and now no pearn decides he needs to make it harder on himself. The 11 and 19 are probably fast enough to come back from it

 

[carolinabuff]

Doesn't look too bad but something to keep an eye on

 

[Nitro Dude]

How cool is that...Rutledge and Marco one on one.

I'm starting to wonder if Shrub can win a 'Good Citizen at Daytona Elementary!' bumper sticker.

Logano getting ate up.

 

[jaqua19]

It wouldn't be 2020 if Jimmie didn't lose spots on a restart with a fast car. Sigh.

That 19 is just wicked fast

 

[Kiante]

Paul Wolfe forgot how much tires meant here.

These tires fall off something fierce.

 

[jaqua19]

48 needs to get to the 24. Was way way better, and gained some points on him in the first stage. Lost a ton of ground from the restart.

I absolutely love this type of racing. Fast road courses like this, Watkins Glen, and Roval are my favs.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Why would anyone want to get rid of the classic shifting?

 

[Mispeedway15]

Would they? Rusty was wide open for a commercial shoot. Said it scared the crap out of him.

Well honestly with that banking maybe not? Could use the momentum to ride the high side like Bristol. Maybe throttling it but I’m unsure about wide open. Haha they might be legit terrified to run 235 up on the wall

 

[Magnethead]

I think that was a testbomb for Truex

 

[donthaveanickname]

The wide runoff area in turn 1 has prevented several cautions this weekend.

 

[aunty dive]

For the same reason they banned truck tires.

Ever watch the Rolex? Comes in handy then too.

 

[Switchback]

Looks like it could be a good day for no pearn if they can avoid mistakes.

 

[Spotter22]

see ya

 

[Brentford]

Man, Byron has gained a ton since the restart. Will probably stall out now that he's racing the faster cars, but car ain't too bad.

 

[BobbyFord]

Nobody gonna beat the 19 today

 

[Turtle84]

Looks like they filled in the damage rut from yesterday. Biggest air off the turtles.

 

[Blaze]

Kyle actually wasn't sucking once this year and he uses up his equipment. Just doesn't have it any longer

Has Kyle Busch (at age 35) lost a step?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Boy, you can really tick the laps off when you know what you're doing.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

7 time has a caved in nose

edit: my bad, looks like I was fooled by livery

 

[jaqua19]

Well Jeff Burton that's because the 48 lost 5 spots on the restart with a bad lane draw.

Truex is the best corner entry guy in NASCAR. It’s why he’s so good at short tracks, road courses and narrow intermediates

Kyle's just having a season.

Kyle might be on verge of a rage quit.
