Cup RACE thread --- Indy

NBC is late to the Bubba Wallace party. Gotta make up for lost time.

 

[Nitro Dude]

That was vicious.

Kevin Kogan would probably disagree with you.

It doesn't seem to bother the Ford and Chevy teams.

Is Dale Jr serious with that suit?

I say that about him every week. They aren't what I'd wear, but he certainly can afford whatever he wants.

 

[racefan41]

That was a weird segment of broadcasting

I'm having the same thoughts. LOL

Bubba Wallace commercial brought to you by Comcast.

NBC trying to cover an issue that happened during Fox's tenure. I'm surprised they haven't mentioned Newman's accident more than they have.

He wants the fact that he's (half) black to be incidental... except when he doesn't.

His wife needs to have a 1:1 with him omg

 

[FLRacingFan]

Frightening.

Only seems to be a major problem for Kyle Busch.

 

[jws926]

NBC and Allen Bestwick need to bury the hatchet and get back to work.

FYI Allen is doing a AMA on r/NASCAR tomorrow

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Hope Eric is doing OK.

 

[Spotter22]

I sure hope Bubba gets corporate America to give Petty Motorsports a muliti million dollar contract. Hes been on every show pushing this cause. To be sure someone will put up the money!

Ah, but how do you know she didn't pick them? SEXIST!!!!!!

He's lucky to get out of that car on his own power. Wow.

I was just thinking that.

Or just don’t allow him to shop alone.

Tiregate 2

 

[DanicaFreak]

2 tire stop blows up?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chad regretting that low tire pressure right about now.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

So I said to my Darling Bride, "Every time I pick the #24, he goes to crap. I dunno why I'm picking him again."

Every damn time.

 

[LJ7201]

ffs

 

[Joker]

Told y'all that was a bad idea.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Jesus! The hood blew up!

 

[HoneyBadger]

This is turning into an encore presentation of that ridiculous 2008 Brickyard race.

 

[Pat]

What a mess

 

[harkin]

Pretty quick answer to how that was gonna work out.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Jesus! The hood blew up!

Yeah --- blown tire tears up a lot of sheet metal.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Jesus! The hood blew up!

Not enough Bear Bond on all of pit road for that one.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Really hope this doesn't turn into tiregate 2.0

 

[aunty dive]

My guess is the track temp is a lot higher than Goodyear thought it would be when they chose this tire.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

The blown tire got Willy B. I’m concerned about these tires

This is turning into an encore presentation of that ridiculous 2008 Brickyard race.

Whenever someone says, "This is the worst race I've ever seen!", that's the one I use as a rebuttal (followed by that F1 6-car mess).

 

[Nitro Dude]

He's lucky to get out of that car on his own power. Wow.

The big problem back then was that you couldn't see the fuel burning. That's how Rick Mears burnt his nose so bad.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I don’t dislike Rutledge anymore, seems like a swell fella

 

[HoneyBadger]

Just a reminder that there's a perfectly fine racetrack that can handle stock cars seven miles away.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Goodyear notes for the week say same right side code as last year and new left side code. Same tires they ran at Pocono last week.

Was tiregate part 1 really that bad?
It was pretty Russian roulette with the tire

Yesterday shows there's a great road course right here.

It was a huge debacle. Fans never came back after that one.
