Cup RACE thread --- Indy

[TexasRaceLady]

Looking forward to seeing the race --- not because it might be thrilling, but because I
haven't seen any racing for 2 weeks. ROTFL

Open at the green.

BTW, it's GOOD to be HOME.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's go racing!

Radar not looking good.

Busch looked like he shot out of a rocket on the start.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

The optics are just terrible. I'm sitting here cringing....

 

[Clutch]

@DIDIT if you are around....

I'm not following you. What do you mean by 'optics'?

 

[Ford Racing]

The cars look so fast compared to yesterday.

 

[racer8]

I predict a blue car will win the first stage

 

[DSquad48]

Of course the 48 starts in the back...can never take advantage of good qualifying

 

[KodiakRusty89]

The way the event is being perceived following the Open. If you're a casual sports fan I'm not sure if you'll believe this an actual NASCAR race...lol.

 

[JGR_20]

Is there even 300 people there?

Still not with you. Why wouldn't I believe it's a race?

 

[Wildthing]

sweet the weekly competition caution!

 

[StandOnIt]

cars don't look like a golf ball

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Caution. Lajoie in 3.

Also, that rain is about 30 minutes out now and looks like it will last about that long.

 

[StandOnIt]

they missed a pass for second..truex around harvick

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Not you, the average sports fan. This race and how it looks on TV is not going to attract any new fans or viewers. Under Armour will sell more golf polos in the next week than the Brickyard will sell tickets in the next 3 years...

Looks like Indy will see rain in less than an hour.

A driver a putt putt and wedge.....

 

[AdoubleU24]

What was up with Harvick at the start? He wasn't even alongside Kyle entering the restart zone

 

[racer8]

429

 

[AdoubleU24]

Oh yeah that sky is looking dark

 

[jaqua19]

Dude turn 3 and 2 are empty

 

[Charlie Spencer]

429

Pit road doesn't count.

 

[racer8]

Lightning warning

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Red for lightning. Called it, just missed the timing.

 

[Pat]

Everyone out!!!

 

[Bucky Badger]

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Gee a 3 PM thunderstorm in the Midwest....

 

[Bowtie3]

they missed a pass for second..truex around harvick

I saw it?

 

[FLRacingFan]

They showed it. Partly from Harvick's onboard.

 

[JGR_20]

This thing is DUN till Monday. Just calling it

 

[JGR_20]

Thanks for the 3 o clock start NASCAR.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

There's one cell. It should move through quickly, although I'm guessing they won't get the track dry until at least 4:00, 4:15

 

[Charlie Spencer]

NWS just posted a severe thunderstorm warning for the area.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

If the storms bad enough it could cause some issues (wind) beyond just drying the track. Hopefully everyone stays safe!

 

[FLRacingFan]

2:45 start at a track with no lights and rain in the forecast so NASCAR can play second fiddle to golf and "muh West Coast audience".

 

[DUN24]

They are saying this rain can last 30-45 minutes, and it's about two hours to dry the track. So I'm thinking 5:30 start time and about a two hour window to finish this thing. Another GG NASCAR moment waiting all day to start a race.
