All cars are through tech, so the McDowell to the rear/engineer ejected (2x failures) is the only prerace issue.

Green!

Its a beautiful day for racing in Cali

 

[DewChaser988]

Wow, this reminds me of a Gen 4 Restrictor Plate race

 

[Professur]

piss poor camera work in that corner

 

[Bob]

Looks like a decent crowd.

 

[Madman88]

Not sure how much I would want to be Custer right now. Knowing you might get to drive a cup car, WOOHOOOO
Also knowing that cup car will be covered in puke and maybe poo when you get in

 

[DewChaser988]

Man, just imagine how awesome Talladega and the Daytona July race are going to be with this package

TNT was so good, when they had that Wide Open ****, about keeping the picture in the frame.

You can't be right behind someone or your car is undrivable

Today's Race Thread question, does Austin Dillon finish the race ?

 

[Madman88]

Is this now a wide open race track all the way around?

 

[HoneyBadger]

What this package has done so far: Made Austin Dillon and Ricky Stenhouse look like championship contenders.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I hope this is as good as I hope its going to be

 

[DewChaser988]

You know, I always considered Michigan and Fontana to be superspeedways

 

[Madman88]

I always liked Mr Big. Seems like a good guy to have a beer with

 

[Professur]

And all the good racing happens during the commercial break. Dicks.

Nothing's changed.

Can't imagine they'll run wide open throughout the run.

I guess I missed that part

 

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah I'm done with this race.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Yeah I'm done with this race.

Logano is slowly moving to the front. Truex looks good as well.

Hybrid Aero Duct Racing. "The Show".

Once again 3 crazy laps after the start, and now a typical race at Cali but slowed down a lot.

Yup, time for the broadcasters to get to work and make it seem interesting...

 

[nascarwoman]

Truex looks to have a decent car.

 

[Madman88]

It just doesn't look exciting, it doesn't draw me in. The car look to stable

 

[Efisher131]

this is the first week the straightaway speed difference has been extremely noticeable. About 30 mph slower into the turns

 

[KTMLew01]

That parade lap reminds me of Mon-Friday on the beltline. BTDT. EVERY DAY!

 

[Professur]

The Frenchman appears

 

[Efisher131]

Let's go Corey Lajoie I have him on Pick'em

They lost me when the splitter was introduced. Sports cars belong on twisties NOT ovals. Boring as fawk watching over-engineered, never break, cars go round and round.

 

[Ventisca]

HMS Chad strategy -- start throwing the dice early...

 

[Professur]

No ... you ****** noob.

Kyle Busch to the lead. Did anybody know that today will be his 200th win across the three major series’ if he wins?

No, I've never heard that. Thanks for telling me, that's awesome.

I may have read that somewhere, they really should promote that more on TV and social media
