Cup RACE thread --- Indy

24 lost a cylinder. Ughhh

Car looks like it belongs in yesterday's Xfinity race.

 

[Flyer22]

Not sure how anyone beats the 18 today

 

[FLRacingFan]

Let me rephrase my question: Why do we have to have a competition caution just because it rained and the track is green?

O'Donnell has to wait until 2018 to implement the fourth stage.

 

[Pat]

Chase Elliott says he's down a cylinder. He's also got smoke in the ****pit.

DAMN!!!

 

[KTMLew01]

Competition caution is to check for excessive tire wear. Same as it's always been.

 

[StandOnIt]

where in the hell are those Xfinity ducts

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I wish that idiot would fall of that roof

 

[StandOnIt]

hopefully it is a wire off or an ignition box for Chase

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Welcome to the commercial fest 400 after the 2 hour rain delay

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I'd like to see NASCAR get rid of competition cautions. We have stage cautions now.

 

[FLRacingFan]

The #24 sounds terrible.

[ChexOrWrex]

Just **** my **** up fam

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Well Jr actually gained spots on pit road. That's a first this year

 

[Flyer22]

The #24 sounds terrible.

Ya I'm on turn 1 and he sounds like a turd. Has completely different sound then the others.

 

[StandOnIt]

Bunch of them moving up, Blaney is hanging in the top 5, JJ up to 11th and Larson, and Jr moving up.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

A simple plug wire

Come on guys. Act like a professional race car team.

pay attention, did you see the tire wear on Kenseth?

 

[4tires17gals]

still better race then kentucky

 

[KTMLew01]

So when tires start popping at 15 laps into a 40 lap run that's OK?

 

[Johnny G]

Except for a few seasons here and there Jr has always had a mediocre pit crew.

So why don't they see how the X teams do on their tires when they hit the track for the first practice of the weekend?

 

[Johali]

The 24 just lost power.

Looks like it was more than just that.

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah I saw that on the leaderboard

 

[Flyer22]

Ya he blew up

 

[StandOnIt]

Looks like it was more than just that.

continues to have a bad case of foot in mouth disease.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This race in a nutshell

 

[Bob]

Gotta give the 18 props for that answer. Nice.

 

[KTMLew01]

So why don't they see how the X teams do on their tires when they hit the track for the first practice of the weekend?

Patrick just blistered RR in 15 laps...

 

[ReturnTrip]

Racing at half-empty tracks really kills the hype for these races.

 

[StandOnIt]

Blaney lost 2 spots in 5th, Harvick and Logano up one in the top 5

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Patrick just blistered RR in 15 laps...

So a caution at 20 laps wouldn't have done her any good.

Also, that doesn't answer my question. Is the tire wear on X cars on the green track on Friday that much different from what the Cup cars see after a rain?

 

[KTMLew01]

So why don't they see how the X teams do on their tires when they hit the track for the first practice of the weekend?

The X cars were running at least 20 mph slower with 300 less HP. apples-giraffe .

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Racing at half-empty tracks really kills the hype for these races.

They wish this place was only half empty. Indy must be taking a loss on ticket sales to get the TV money.

Answered.

 

[Johali]

Wreck.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson got two more spots on that restart

ask yourself this simple question..how fast are both series going? there's your sign

Okay, that makes sense here. Bristol? A road course?
