Cup RACE thread --- Daytona

[KodiakRusty89]

If I'm Truex I'm still hanging out in the back. That car is too good to risk it with more than 15-20 laps left imo...

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Look at those cars going below the yellow line with no penalty, NASCAR is going to need to clarify

 

[CodeMan125]

Go Allmendinger !!!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Again...your solution. Be specific.

Let's stick to the race, please. This is a subject that needs to be discussed outside of the race thread.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And JJ's pit road problems continue

Denny is out; someone had to pick up the slack.

 

[Blaze]

I want Bubba to win so bad.

 

[Conwayite]

Dillon is making me nervous!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

“Look at this mirra right here. This is what he’s lookin at. Out the rear winda”

Well no ****** ****? Thanks.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

great save by the 96!!

 

[Mopardh9]

Again...your solution. Be specific.

Get rid of Daytona and Dega, they no longer are good tracks unless you change the package, or knock down the banking. Destroying 20 or more cars per plate race is ridiculous.

 

[jws926]

Go Kennington!!!

See what you did!!

 

[lisa]

Woohoo 27 to go, peeps.

 

[aunty dive]

I’d love to see Kahne get this.

 

[BobbyFord]

Dude spun himself out.

 

[Blaze]

See what you did!!

Yeah, he go......around.

 

[2 Sweet]

great save by the 96!!

He waited til the truck came to give him a push then was like 'F this, I'm outta here'

 

[BobbyFord]

Almirola back on the lead lap.

 

[kkfan91]

I’d love to see Kahne get this.

Unfortunately I've seen him in this position before...

 

[Conwayite]

He waited til the truck came to give him a push then was like 'F this, I'm outta here'

He was probably told to sit there to bring out a caution...

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Aric Almirola looking at redemption from February.

 

[4tires17gals]

qucikie caution, pits closed

 

[DSquad48]

He waited til the truck came to give him a push then was like 'F this, I'm outta here'

The old Stewart Haas kickback coming in the mail this week

 

[JBone88]

Aric Almirola looking at redemption from February.

How cool would that be? I don’t care! That would just be incredible!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

He was probably told to sit there to bring out a caution...

Yeah, that crossed my mind. The question is, did it cross NASCAR's?

 

[ReturnTrip]

"safely"

I really believe its this generations mentality on the plate tracks that is the biggest cause for these constant pileups. Plate racing has always been a hot button issue. The "Big One" will always happen. For the first 20-25 years of plate racing it rarely if ever happened more than once in a race. You might go 3 or 4 plate races without a true big one. Now it's a constant because there's really no consequences. It's like these guys are driving a NASCAR video game. No one has to pull an Irvan and address the drivers for nearly killing 20 of his peers....

 

[DSquad48]

10 lost spots there and should lose free pass right?

NASCAR and their rules

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Did I somehow accidentally manage to travel back in time? It seems there are more cars in the race now than after the second big wreck.

 

[jws926]

Yeah, that crossed my mind. The question is, did it cross NASCAR's?

NASCAR monitors all team radios, that is something you dont really say over the radio, NASCAR doenst like teams purposely causing a yellow , that could result in the team getting fined

I bet he had problems getting the engine fired.

How much faster are the cars compared to 25 years ago? Are the drivers' reaction speeds fast enough to compensate?

You are blaming the millenial generation on NASCAR wrecks?

 

[racefan41]

I took the dog out and now its like a different race. Dang dog

 

[jws926]

So ,will this go green to the end ?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The generation of drivers.

 

[FLRacingFan]

"Ka-chow!"

- Kasey Kahne

 

[REBS31]

Harvick calm down

 

[BobbyFord]

No.

 

[mack]
