Cup RACE thread --- Daytona

[Goose61]

I veey much missed the part of the race that Truex dominated.

So you missed the part where he came back from 19th by himself to get back in the lead. Okay.

I know Truex isn't popular around here (and I wouldn't call myself a fan either).

Just not a fan of the overtime system, as it's geared more to who happens to be luckiest at the right time, and not who ran the best race.

know it had to be a tough one for ya, but you soldered on to the end it looks like

Lmaoo

I'm truly salty, but every squirrel finds a bit eventually.

Doesn't take away from Erik though, he's a damn fine driver.

Chase will get it on some non-lottery track eventually. Not a good year to be a hendrick driver, unfortunately.

Some squirrels don’t find any

I also missed the part where that was dominating a race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

You need a push to have a chance

My point exactly. Drivers shouldn't need help, and shouldn't count on it. Dinger's only obligation was to try to improve his own position.

But thats not dominating, I suggest you look up the definition on what domination means

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Dibendetto bringing it home 7th. That a boy

 

[Charlie Spencer]

"More first-time winners than at any other race track at Daytona!"

I wonder why, Rick.

More one time winners too, I'll bet.

 

[CodeMan125]

Lol @ AJ

And some of us are found by squirrels.

Two options.....a guaranteed 3rd, or a shot at a top 2 with 4th place being the worst case?

I'll take the latter every time.

Don't know what you're on about, as I haven't seen my soldering gun in twenty years.

Always good to see a first time winner, there should be plenty of spare parts for the lower level teams to pick from after the race too.

Scratch and dent sale

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I’m glad someone besides Kyle, Harvick or Truex won for once

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Dale Jr. will have lots to choose from for his car graveyard.

 

[BobbyFord]

22 years old.
1st Cup win.
Daytona.
...Priceless.

I veey much missed the part of the race that Truex dominated.

that was when his car didn't get scratched

 

[Spotter22]

News flash plates add to the Carnage . ..big time

Uh its been going on since 1988.

 

[jws926]

that was when his car didn't get scratched

When he was riding around in the back?

 

[StandOnIt]

Different players in the finishing order this week.

 

[4tires17gals]

20 may not pass tech with damage

From laying back all race dominating 20th?

 

[racefan41]

When he was riding around in the back?

lol, that's the time.

 

[StandOnIt]

Congrats to Beucher pushing the Jones boy past Tru axe

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Crazy we have run half the season and Chevy has only 1 win. Wouldn't have thought that at the start of the season

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

He didn’t go below yellow line, so he’s good.

The real question is will he send Stenhouse a bottle of champagne as a thank you gift?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And the one was an RCR car, not Hendrick.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Uh its been going on since 1988.

Not at this level. But the big one has basically been part of the deal since the start. 1990 had a HUGE crash when Petty, Sacks and Cope wrecked in front of the entire field on lap 2. 1989 had a pretty big wreck too towards the end of the race.

 

[jws926]

lol, that's the time.

So he was dominating, the back of the pack


I kid cuz I care, its done in fun

Some of the fiery Kurt Busch is awakening and I am here for it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Just got back to hotel from track. I hate to say it...but I was bored. This type of racing live, I dunno wasn’t for me, but maybe it’s because I was a bit under the weather. A couple of things: 1.) from where I was sitting looks like the 17 caused both big ones, he was taking no prisoners tonight. 2.) More boos than cheers for KDB in pre race intro, it cracked me up when he got wrecked as he got a lot of cheers then. I hope had a salty interview on TV, it sounded like he was salty on the track interview/MRN. 3.) it was absolute thunderous when JJ took the lead, I was pretty shocked. I think everyone likes him due to the fact he’s one of the last old guard left. Pretty cool in fact I myself was cheering for him after Chase wrecked out. 4.) Daytona is an amazing place, If you’re a fan of the sport you really need to make it out there. A truly top notch facility, they knocked it out of the park

 

[Magnethead]

Nice seeing new blood win....but was that a race or a demolition derby? I didn't think they'd make it back to the white the second time.

 

[JBone88]

Don’t think a soul on earth could have predicted Austin Dillon would have Chevy’s only Cup win through 18 races lol.

He didn’t go below yellow line, so he’s good.

Is Stenhouse still alive???

Kurt is slowly turning back to the dark side. He even took a shot at Danica this weekend with the crew chief notes quote
