Cup RACE thread --- Iowa

[FLRacingFan]

Maybe but the night is still young and he will probably get lots of ketchup (cautions) to sort it out.

Looks like he stayed out to take the wave around and got his lap back during the last caution. And now can get back on sequence.

Nice job holding on by Suarez.

 

[Brentford]

Hamlin back on the lead lap but it doesn't matter... P34... wow

Yeah, but he has a not so good car with worn tires as I’m assuming he took the wave around.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Daniel Suarez running strong through the first stage, in 3rd. Josh Berry is still in the top 5. Martin Truex Jr. has rallied to 22nd.

I read somewhere this week that this is Hamlins first race ever at Iowa while several other drivers have lots of xfinity series experience on the track. That's incredible considering he has run about 15k^2 races during his career.

Josh Berry pit crew, killing top 10 runs all season long.

 

[BobbyFord]

Caution for half a spin

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

What an absolute wanker.

 

[Spotter22]

well that's a BS caution

 

[Speedbowl14]

Idk how Grayson ever saved that

 

[Blaze]

Threw the yellow a little too fast I feel. Nice save though.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What an absolute wanker.

Trying to stick it on the bottom where it had no bidness.

 

[antman12]

Nice to see 22 have some speed again. Hoping they are really starting to turn it around.

inb4 jinx

 

[Brentford]

Harrison Burton is always good about poking his head into the top half of the field each race, just to make you think he’s gonna have a good run.

 

[Spotter22]

You don't throw caution for a slide, if he came around, ok

 

[Greg]

Hybrid caution

JHN/BS

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Wow!

 

[Reck]

NASCAR doesn't trust their own drivers. They're so fast on that caution button that they cant even crash a third of the way through before it's fully out.

Just think of it as another stage break

That's on Cliff. Cliff said the tire was fine. Side wall stuff.

Larson was suspicious of the feel and said he didn't want to pit, but Cliff said "nah just pit man"

Rare mistake by Cliff.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

We need a box in the corner of the screen showing Larson on board now because he gonna be on a mission.

 

[Spotter22]

If it wasn't a tire for the 5, he may have another problem

 

[Reck]

Damn, Larson psyched himself out there.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Josh has a hella fast car today and he ain’t wanking around.

 

[Spotter22]

Ok, well the 5 is good

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

I don’t think Larson is the best driver in the world today.

I think he’s the most talented driver ever.

 

[jaqua19]

Larson is faster than the leaders and he's running in traffic lolol

When you have one of the fastest if not the fastest car in the field, to err on the side of caution isn't a mistake with two stages to go.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Larson is faster than the leaders and he's running in traffic lolol

Dude is gonna end up winning 10 more races.

He’s in a league of his own this year. Far far far far far better than the rest of the field in every aspect (driver talent, car, team).

 

[Spotter22]

5 Top 10 already lol.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

11 down six from the restart. Not even a good test session.

I love seeing Hamlin run terribly. Couldn’t happen to a better guy.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Hendrick vs Penske today.

Larson, Byron and Elliott all super fast.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bell sneaking up the charts. 8th.

 

[Blaze]

Poor Kyle Busch

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Poor Kyle Busch

"Welcome to the club "

 

[Brentford]

Bell sneaking up the charts. 8th.

Looking at lap times, he’s been the fastest on track the last few laps.

 

[Reck]

Bowman gets clowned on a lot. Drivers don’t seem to respect him much.

Denny Hamlin about to go a lap down again.
