Cup RACE thread --- Daytona

[dpkimmel2001]

When the checker is waving, there are no teammates.

Racing the way it ought to be. Nobody owes anyone anything when going for that checkered flag. Awesome finish IMO. I like seeing a first time winner.

Oh wow, did he?

Yes, its on his radio twitter feed.

I wish there weren't any need for teammates for the previous laps either.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Um, Blaney made him look good, then the boy runs him into the wall. You don't do that to your teammate without huge remorse. No respect on my side.

I respect your take. You’re right, but if I’m in that seat and a few hundred feet from a Daytona 500, I’d do the exact same thing

Can't believe we only have 35 races left

Great recovery for Briscoe from getting spun early, fixing the diffuser, missing his box and then fighting to keep his lap at the end of the second stage.

The winners of these plate races seem so random.

Except for putting his teammate in the wall...

You mean on the last lap against Blaney?
If you're in position to win you're gonna defend like hell no matter who's behind you.

The 2, 12, 6, 19, 18, 23 were up front most of the day. Not really that random that Cindric was running well all day.

Bump racing sucks though, racing was great when they weren’t bumping at the beginning and middle

That seems on the low side.

Bubba just didn't have enough time to have a realistic shot at him. He lost the race once the cars came out of 4

That's the difference between him and Blaney...the first thing a subdued Blaney would have said is how he hated what happened to his teammate. Cindric's response, especially after what went down Thursday leaves a bad taste in my mind.

Thought Bubba won and every time I see a replay I still thought he won. Never can figure out when the yellow light or loop or whatever they use declares who is actually the leader.

 

[Hotrod]

Yeah its all for yourself from T4 to the checkers.
I like the first time winners !

Good race. I enjoyed the whole race. Few issues with the new car(wheels?) but overall thought it performed well. No issue with Cindric doing what he needed to do at the end, and thought he ran well all day. Also thought KB ran a smart race after early damage and got a decent finish. Looking forward to the season.

It’s whoever crosses the line first…

 

[donthaveanickname]

Looks like Ragan hit harder than McDowell, but they both hit hard nose first.

Brad is not to blame this time, Ragan got into him first

lol what? the wreck happened after the race was over, Bubba did not cross the line first, so he didnt win.

I like Danica. Met her at Baltimore and Martinsville, she was always nice to me.

She was nice to me at the Chili Bowl also.

Is there more post-race on FS1 or are they done already?

They're showing basketball right now.

 

[Kiante]

Did anyone notice the Greg Moore lid from Cindric?

No post race on FS1.

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Even with his numerous bonehead mistakes today, proud of Brad and the RFK boys this week. Got a couple duel wins and both cars were fast all week. Looking forward to seeing how they grow

 

[donthaveanickname]

That's BS. It's the biggest race of the year and there's just three or so interviews and barely any analysis after the race?

Yes, the days of full-bore coverage from Daytona went away with Speed Channel. Miss the days of shows like Victory Lane after a race finished.

By the same token, they had already gone past their broadcast window today and had actually crept into their primetime programming.

He's going to need security if he keep this up tho.

 

[kkfan91]

First time the Penske 2 has won the 500, it was the 12 with Newman and 22 with Logano

Won’t be the first time lol
