Cup RACE thread --- Daytona

[Blaze]

Boo fricking hoo. He had his chances and never capitalized. It is what it is.
you should check our Reddit NASCAR. You’ll fit in with the hive mind there.

Let’s be honest. How many chances has he had in a car someone can win in? I don’t agree with Mich here on Chase, but Matty D is someone who spent most of his career in mid to back of the pack cars.

That “someone” has double-digit cup wins and a championship, bud. There’s a reason he is where he is lol.

Yeah, as Denny Hamlin said about Dillon in 2008(?) You gotta take advantage of the opportunity.

Being spoonfed all the way to the cup series (which Elliot was) kind of goes out the window as a fair criticism if you are able to take advantage of that. He's a cup champion. He's been validated imo. Regardless of how he got here, he was good enough to do what very few cup drivers have done. So, yeah.

Harrison Burton? What?

 

[Hendrick4ever]

Anyone else see Rick Allen yelling “SMOKE” when it was really speedy-dry?

 

[Biggreen695]

It was absolutely stupid, but what is the leader of the race supposed to do with a few laps to go? We've seen countless other guys in that same situation make the same aggressive move. It's what this style of racing and especially this package promotes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

And if jr or Tony Stewart or anyone else made that move I’d call them stupid too I’m a chase fan but he just ruined the race

Great opportunity for the 99 and 23 tonight.

I hope one of them take it.

I love NASCAR reddit.

Bad eggs everywhere but you'll get plenty of good talks over there. There's plenty of smart people there, I bounce back and forth from here and there during races (mostly here).

Anyone but the 3 or 5, please

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Fake news.

Chase effed up. It’s the corner that this package has the drivers painted into.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Eddie gets some blame. He was doing exactly what Eddie was screaming.

Yeah but Chase is in the car, he’s gotta use his head. Can’t just block a run that fast and block the guy into the fence. Again, hindsight. This all happens in matter of milliseconds.

 

[BobbyFord]

Buescher is a sitting duck?

And Jr corrected him.

Yup. He's absolutely a joke.

I browse, but the meme-like love affair with Matty D there is hilarious.

 

[jaqua19]

Ouch Kyle... "Always wonder if you're gonna walk outta here.."

Chase effed up.

Agreed. Just sad he basically ended Matty's career in the process. Oh well

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kyle Busch with a wonky steering wheel tonight.

 

[BobbyFord]

Good interview from Kyle.
Man this place sucks.

 

[Kiante]

KFB got yeeted.

Holy ****.

 

[jaqua19]

Watch Larson pull another win out of his ass.

Well I wouldnt go that far.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Jeeze, the 16 clobbered Kyle there. That's the second time tonight he's had arca brakes.

IMO he has valid point, r/nascar gets a bit ape **** crazy over Matty D, to the point it gets annoying.

 

[Hendrick4ever]

Jr is the only one in the booth with half a brain. Can’t believe Letarte was ever a crew chief.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Blaney!

 

[Michfan]

Lajoie has no idea what to do

 

[jaqua19]

What a save by Larson.

[jws926]

Are you ****** kidding me

 

[Michfan]

Good for Blaney. He's going to win the ship

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

They wreck again and Blaney goes back to back!

 

[BobbyFord]

Wow. Great racing.
Bulldoze this place.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Man the ends of these races ruin the entire race that lead up to it. The xfinity guys did it in one attempt.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Lol. Blaney on a hot streak. He found the horseshoe that the 48 dropped earlier

 

[Kiante]

Blaney gets it done.

Again.

 

[JGR_20]

What the…


Kurt was… uhhh, going somewhere

I guess

 

[Michfan]

Amateur hour

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Sucks a really good race has to be ruined because the field drives like asshats

 

[jaqua19]

Another win for Blaney!

Larson almost made it through, but can't avoid Daytona without wrecking lol. Think he was good enough to get those 15 points.

[donthaveanickname]

Two consecutive wins for Blaney!
Finally he found himself some luck.

Marty’s career was over last year when Penske said “we’re moving on after 2021.” Calm down.
