Cup RACE thread --- Iowa

Will we make it to the end? Tires are at the end of their life.

So if things go like they do usually for Blaney he's about to blow a tire.

 

[Brentford]

Hoping we don’t get a “this changes everything” caution.

 

[kkfan91]

Lot of pits starting to pop up on thr leader board

Probably.

Hey, good weekend of baseball BTW.

 

[2 Sweet]

The "generational talent" Toddler Ty is having a solid run today in 28th lol

I do and I don’t haha. I like watching stuff play out naturally, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want my guy to have a chance lol

 

[HoneyBadger]

Okay Rick, you’ve been fine all day, no need to start shouting.

 

[HoneyBadger]

This isn’t over yet.

 

[Efisher131]

Come on Willy

 

[HoneyBadger]

Now it is.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Nope. Bowman can't get there.

 

[jaqua19]

Story time with Rick Allen

 

[Blaze]

Really enjoyable race

 

[BobbyFord]

Stenhouse with a top 5?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Hell yeah Ryan

 

[jaqua19]

Larson shoulda won this one. But I can roll with a Blaney win.

Should be 2 out of the last 3 if his CC didn't screw up Gateway

 

[HoneyBadger]

Story time with Rick Allen

Doesn’t bother me. Allen Bestwick and Bill Weber did the same thing at NBC.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Would’ve liked to see Larson and Blaney go toe-to-toe for the win, but the 12 team needed that one.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hope this track is on the schedule for the foreseeable future for sure.

 

[Efisher131]

Shut up Rick, Larson is probably winning at least 3 more and Blaney, Hamlin, Byron, Elliott are gonna win again too so there won’t be 17 winners.

 

[StandOnIt]

Damn good first race for Iowa. Crowd was really appreciative.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A much-needed 5th place finish for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Meanwhile, tough race for Kyle Larson, finishes 34th.

They did. But theirs felt so much more organic lol

GUYS WE HAVE POSTRACE COVERAGE UNTIL 11PM ON USA!!!!!

 

[AdoubleU24]

I don't care what your opinion of the booth guys may be, NBC makes NASCAR feel like a major professional sports league.

 

[StandOnIt]

Possibly taking RWR's place.

Think it’s just a “we’re back” show, or will they have this much post race coverage every week?

They don’t have D-tier football to rush to after each race, so I’d imagine it’s pretty permanent. More likely to get extended coverage on USA than NBC, of course.

They had this much post race coverage every week last year between USA and Peacock.

They've been so bad

I hate this for Erik Jones. He’s a top 10 talent wasting away.

Gotta take Andy’s side, it’s cool seeing guys who finished in the back of the top 10 still getting interviewed on live tv. It really does make things feel more of important.

We should be getting this kind of coverage for the Daytona 500.

I think JR being gone helped alot. Nothing bad about JR, but so far it calmed Burton down a bunch, the whole booth for that matter.

Four people in the booth was too many. I always thought that they should’ve put Jeff Burton in a different role when Dale Jr went to the booth. Steve Letarte is excellent in the booth though, and always has been.
