Cup RACE thread --- Daytona

Cliff: " 6/8 have passed us in points.

Well, we have two options. We can either get up there and draft and help the 9 or 48 and whatever happens happens. Or we can ride around the back and wait for everyone to wreck, and get a few points back"

"Larson: I don't feel like crashing, so I'll ride around"


Lol.

Somehow he will still crash. Dude is cursed at the superspeedways

Bubba better win this race or he may be out

Yep. I don’t see a repeat winner winning this race.

 

[Naitch]

The 14, 10, and 43 would be out in the round of 16. Bubba could actually make a deep run.

 

[Naitch]

Bubba’s fans just became huge KFB fans.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Top line needs to shed the 8. He can’t lead.

 

[Naitch]

It used to be a cardinal rule of plate racing that you don’t bump in the tri oval or in the turns.

Come on guys.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’d be something if Erik Jones won this race and stole the last playoff spot

 

[donthaveanickname]

When did they throw the green flag for this one?
It was a 7 pm start officially so I expected them to be at around 20 to go by 9 pm.

3/4ths of these guys weren't here for that era

It was closer to 8pm than 7pm.

These Fords hooked up look unbeatable

Chase gonna win this.

Doesn't matter if you don't get there

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Chase gonna win this.

Nope. Can’t go anywhere.

 

[Biggreen695]

Chase gonna win this.

He's leading.

Most underrated driver in the series. Anyone with multiple wins at Darlington is legit

 

[hmmm298]

I mean, it's clear what the agenda is lol

It would be an awesome end if Chase ended up pushing Bowman to the win.

 

[jaqua19]

Chase gonna win this.

It's so obvious. It's just gonna work out

I don't trust LMC this year, but Erik Jones is a boss at Darlington.

 

[jaqua19]

Briscoe winning would be good awful.

Agree. The cars aren't perfect, but they're better than what we had before.

Not better than the Gen 6. Newman was out of the hospital three days after a crash that when I saw it was sure had killed him.
Folks are using this wreck to downplay the stiffness issues of last year again .

 

[jaqua19]

Larson has a fast car and has driven into the top 10, 3 laps down. Because he couldn't get a tow under yellow with a flat.

**** that.

Now it's time for 38 laps of single file racing.

 

[Mispeedway15]

You can’t push in the corners!

 

[TheJester]

Chase is gonna need help for sure

 

[donthaveanickname]

The outside line fell pretty far back when Bubba was leading it. Don't see him having race-winning speed right now.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Might come down to how each manufacturer group manages the pit cycle now.

 

[Spotter22]

So seven of the top 10 right now could send Bubba home? yikes

 

[Naitch]

The quality of plate racers have gone down a lot in the last 20 years. Blame the people who pushed the “lol plate racing isn’t a skill, it’s a lottery” talking point.

 

[TheJester]

SHR guys looking good

 

[donthaveanickname]

SHR in 1st through 3rd and 5th. Is it 2018 or what?

They're probably all gonna run over each other with 10 to go though.

 

[Spotter22]

Yes you can

 

[REBS31]

We’ve entered the timeline of Ty Dillon being only a few positions from the Playoffs

 

[jaqua19]

NASCAR just corrected timing and changed Larson to 2 laps down from 3.

Wow.

SHR came into tonight with good cars, a plan and they’re sticking to it. I mean if either one won and got a playoff spot it’d be a waste of a spot but kudos to the race they’re running tonight

If anything I think it’s down to win-and-in unlocking a next level of aggression and drivers generally lacking a sense of self-preservation as the cars have gotten safer.
