Cup RACE thread --- Indy Road Course

[Kiante]

Just pull the kerbing up.

Logano got very lucky nobody slammed into him

Glad he’s okay, and like you said...didn’t get hit again.

 

[Tony_K]

Needless destruction of a bunch of cars. Sad.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

How is this not a red?

Ah, there it is.

 

[JBone88]

This entire event is a joke. I’d rather have the boring ass Brickyard 400.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

There was never anything wrong with the OG Brickyard 400....as for today...

 

[Speedbowl14]

So, New Hampshires Fook up by NASCAR pales compared to this...
A dozen or so damaged cars...Wonder how NASCAR addresses this fiasco...

COTA in the rain and today are demonstrating NASCAR has lots of problems with road courses still. It's not a matter of just throwing races on to the schedule.

And both times it was MULTIPLE safety concerns that went ignored.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

If this is how Denny backs into a win this season…. Omfg

 

[jaqua19]

Shoulda stayed on the oval.

Shoulda stayed green with 10 to go. NASCARs desire for a show and an exciting restart destroyed the race.

Something tells me the Brickyard 400 might return next year.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

It looked like the #21 came through there on the previous lap and got ripped apart and blew debris everywhere, and was likely the culprit in ripping up the curb. NASCAR failed to call the yellow due to all of the debris and they would have noticed the curbing. They didn’t and caused this mess. What a bunch of baboons in race control.

 

[antman12]

Rogers NOT gonna be happy with this fiasco at his track.

 

[Spotter22]

Well it probably didnt help when they took 2 pry bars to raise it up to get the pan out from under it. Obviously they didnt get it back flush

 

[jws926]

Jebus it just ripped the front of 22 off

 

[donthaveanickname]

My Pick'Em guy made it through.

 

[Head423]

Jeff Burton is having an out of body experience

I laughed my butt off at this comment

 

[Speedbowl14]

Also that metal kerb just caused more $$$ in damage than a Talledaga big one.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Is it worth it to fix all of the barriers AND the curb to get punted to NBCSN for amateur golf?

Nascar gonna Nascar ! they just cannot help themselves

 

[AdoubleU24]

That curb has a funny way of picking who it wants to devour

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

I'd rather they'd run the follow the leader oval than all this destruction. What an utter clustercrap.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I'd like to see them revert to the last completed lap and call it.

 

[Pat]

Thank God no one was hurt

 

[Blaze]

I need a current running order

ahhhh B.S.

Or just go to a track designed to run stock cars on.....

The quality of racing has been superior on the RC.

Please spare me with the oval mess, its been a very good race outside of this kerbing.

It's crazy how one thing goes wrong and every loses their ****.

Seriously.

Besides it being a God awful snoozefest

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Maybe these stock cars arent meant to race on an IndyCar course. Duh.

 

[Blaze]

Not even sure they can get the track fixed today to even finish this one.

I noticed that too. Pieces of splitter and curb all over the place. The idiots in the booth glossed right over it. Can’t wait to hear the excuses from NASCAR.

 

[Speedbowl14]

ahhhh B.S.

How so? They couldn't see in the rain and COTA and caused two horror crashes because of it. Today the kerb broke once...twice...and now punted the 22 into the barrier.

 

[Kiante]

SHR and RWR merger confirmed.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Can’t except everything to be perfect the first time out. You fix the issues and move on

 

[TexasRaceLady]

This was a great race until this. This is not on the drivers or the cars, it's on the track and Penske.

No, racing fans want everything right the first time.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

To be fair, this is a F1 course that Indy and NASCAR just happened to run.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

For you maybe

It's all fun until somebody gets hurt IMO.
