Cup RACE thread --- Homestead

[Jorge De Guzman]

A lot of corporate partners will buy up tickets at a discount late to make it an official sellout. There were still tickets being given away on StubHub this morning for $6.

Ohhhh that’s actually awesome I’d so go if I was in Miami

 

[StandOnIt]

you guys need to move to NBCSN. gerbil free

 

[Bucky Badger]

THank goodness for NBCSN today

Never thought we'd be saying that.lol

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Any explanation for the #11 pit FUBAR? Any acknowledgement?

Front tire changer --- dropped lug nut on each side.

 

[racer8]

Screaming yappers in the booth. Had to mute the TV already.

Makes the commcial breaks almost bearable

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

The Simpsons for me, plus I will be playing either GTA Online, NASCAR Heat 3, and GT Sport

Heat 3 is oddly addicting

 

[DUN24]

Kyle Larson's right-rear quarter panel is my homeboy.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Front tire changer --- dropped lug nut on each side.

Not the #18, the #11. He completely missed the box, but since he isn't final 4 they ignored it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I really hope one of these years Larson gets into the Championship 4, he’d be that much more awesome here if he was running for the Cup

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Monkey see, monkey do --- again on pit stops.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Quite an experience for Clint there.

You're right. Not enough caffeine this afternoon.

I wont be playing it till Dec 25th , I have H2 that I can get back to playing till then.

 

[StandOnIt]

Can't believe they didn't call KDB the previous pit stop, they had two tires laying flat over the yellow line, and nobodies hand was on them

 

[FLRacingFan]

These guys skip right over MTJ coming out just ahead of Logano.

 

[FLRacingFan]

 

[jws926]

Two bad pit stops, oh yeah, Karma no doubt.

 

[ToyYoda]

You're right. Not enough caffeine this afternoon.

Jeff Burton consumed it all before the race.

With a contentious IV drip in the booth

Good pit stop and recovery for the 18 bunch, know the other 3 might have a hiccup or 2 today. Surreal it’s also Lowe’s and Knaus last day with the 48 today, that scheme is lit.

 

[Brentford]

Is this a rather easy track for the drivers? This track doesnt seem to have many on track incidents. Not that I'm upset about that, just curious.

 

[Racer1930]

Larson needs one of those modified-type bars on the right side of his car..you know he is making occasional contact.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Earth to space cadet Ragan.

It's one of those tracks where the drivers spend more time racing the track than each other so there aren't as many incidents. Look at the onboards and telemetry, it's plenty hard to drive.

One of those bars with half-dozen casters on it would REALLY make him fast.

Makes me wonder why they ever ditched it. Gorgeous car.

The Dirt Racing is pretty awesome.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm getting nervous --- something's bound to happen.

It is NASCAR 2018, where gentlemen race gentlemen, and rubbin is not racin .

 

[TexasRaceLady]

This caution is not exactly what I had in mind.
But at least it is a real piece of metal.

So is a hot dog wrapper, and I hope we don't see that later

It is not an easy track at all to drive fast, which is why Larson is able to do what he does here every year. Until he inevitably messes up, because he's that close to the edge.

It'll be easier and more even next year.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Running down a Dream is one of my favorite top 3 Petty songs, but it will be skipped for a bit after listening to it on broadcasts for 5 months straight. Ugh. Fox please.....

That’s why I hope he gets to the championship race one day soon, I wonder if that inevitable mess up would happen. And if it did how huge would that be

I don't know if it's top 3 for me, but yeah, this cover is such a.humdrum boring version of it. Bland instrumentation and it sounds like she's singing the lyrics for the first time as a practice run through.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Can't imagine anything I'd want less at a race than having a giantass camera shoved in my face.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Not sure I’d wanna race from those cabana’s

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Can't imagine anything I'd want less at a race than having a giantass camera shoved in my face.

And a over caffeinated flannel wearing husky hipster as well.

I miss Blake and the sunshine.

Harvick giving him a lot more room on exit than he did at Fontana lol.
