Cup RACE thread --- Indy

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's hope the rain moves away.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

It's not an official NASCAR Cup race in 2020 without a rain delay.

 

[harkin]

10 am race then bury Pops on the beach in the afternoon.

Nice.

Who's this National Anthem singer?

 

[Pandaz3]

I liked her rendition. Race time!

 

[donthaveanickname]

****** up the command.

 

[Nitro Dude]

That start your engines echoed all the way around the speedway.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I always get goosebumps before this race, living in the midwest and being a NASCAR fan, Indianapolis is the MECCA of midwest racing. The Cup race should always be on the oval, Champions and legends win on this hallowed ground

 

[ChexOrWrex]

6:15 is around the latest the race could have started.

If we have a long red flag for some reason we could be racing daylight.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Lmao what just happened with the radio transmission “He’s Sideways!!!”

 

[Kiante]

Planet Fitness.

Just pure lol.

 

[Magnethead]

Lmao what just happened with the radio transmission “He’s Sideways!!!”

I heard it but wasn't watching the TV, i didn't get it either

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I love NBC’s new race start graphic. Props to them it’s kind of old school

 

[FLRacingFan]

40-43 laps for a fuel run. I’d like to see green flag stops, Indy has an agonizingly long and narrow pit lane. Tough for drivers and crews.

 

[jws926]

I welcome back our NBC overloads

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Lmao what just happened with the radio transmission “He’s Sideways!!!”

I think Joey was showing off for the gerbils.

 

[Nitro Dude]

GO 88--9--24--48

 

[aunty dive]

The Speedway is a BIG racetrack.

Love the place.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I do like Indy as a race track and the potential for awesome racing exists and I hope for a good one today. Even with the 550 HP package.

 

[harkin]

Let’s go!

 

[jws926]

Green flag!!

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

194 mph on the straightaway? That's it? Didn't these cars used to go well above 200 mph on the straightaway?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Boogity! It’s still the Brickyard 400 to Rick Allen

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Penske leads lap #1 at his race track.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I'm starting to get hyped up for the Indy 500.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Busch door slams blaney

 

[Magnethead]

194 mph on the straightaway? That's it? Didn't these cars used to go well above 200 mph on the straightaway?

yep.

We don't need to be reminded of 2008 Brickyard, broadcast crew....

 

[FLRacingFan]

JGR guys sure have taken a liking to turning on straights.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Lack of practice and Kyle Busch forgot how wide his car was. Shame.

 

[donthaveanickname]

194 mph on the straightaway? That's it? Didn't these cars used to go well above 200 mph on the straightaway?

184 mph that is.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Harv going backwards too.

 

[Joker]

Did I hear Truex is blowing up?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Is MTJ having a power issue? I thought our NBC pals has said That

 

[aunty dive]

Engine issues. Failure imminent? Mebbe.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This is why I love no practice. #19 team is supposed to be a championship level team but missed something when putting the piece together and apparently every other team did their job.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

MTJ has an average finish of 35th in the last three Brickyards, including two DNFs.

 

[JJ_14]

Bubba once again quietly putting together a solid run. He should be in consideration for that #48.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I'm starting to get hyped up for the Indy 500.

I started getting hyped for the Indy500 the day after the last Indy500.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Oh wow the Kentucky race has been moved to a day race? I thought it was always Saturday night
