Cup RACE thread ---- Kansas

Fastest car in the field?

The 48.

 

[jws926]

17th

7th would be better

 

[ChexOrWrex]

18 in the wall

 

[RowdyBusch]

The Nascar Drive battle cam is desperately searching for one battle on the track.

 

[racer8]

Looks like the #41 is playing it smart - these "backup cars" are pretty good at this level...apologize for my ignorance but is Tony still in the chase?

Nope

 

[Racer1930]

This may be the time for a fairly long green flag run - I'd like to see a round of green flag pitstops.

 

[BOWTIE GUY]

where is the racing, just cars going fast.

 

[Racer1930]

My prediction for a green flag stop:

"and there is a loose tire in the #4 pit...lugnuts flying everywhere...and there goes Harvick speeding out of the pits with the gas can still attached!!!"

 

[jaqua19]

48 and 24 ate up everyone that run. This race is gonna be like Chicagoland I think

And there you go, ask and thou shall receive

 

[Kiante]

One of Kenseth's crew members was tugging on the car pretty hard.

 

[Kiante]

Damn Bowman.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Same as last week, just a single-file parade. These cars are pure garbage.

Happy Harvick's Crew Chief on the radio: "Sorry about the mixups...you Okay?"

HH: "Yeah - it wasn't as bad as I expected...at least I got a fresh bottle of water"

HHCC: "OMG...don't drink that!"

 

[jaqua19]

48 is so much faster than everyone right now.

 

[jaqua19]

There's the 78 we know.

Truex ain't getting out of this round

 

[Acs]

looks like truex had his weekly **** up.

no

 

[jws926]

Good timing for this caution

 

[Acs]

hahahahaha Truex's fuel issue is permanent.

 

[racefan41]

come on Kurt, I know you got a better car than 19th

 

[Michfan]

Lotta good racing

 

[Racer1930]

Not a huge Harvick fan but I prefer him over Kenseth....GO CHASE E. !!...and Danica is almost in the top 20!

Chase goes up to 2nd now.

 

[Johali]

Chase goes up to 2nd now.

Yep. Go Chase Elliott.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I was only half listening, what is it about the fuel cans for the 78 that's causing problems?

 

[29-4]

Would love to see the 78 have a bad run today. Biggest competition for Harvick in my view.

 

[DSquad48]

Does Rick Allen watch the race? JJ passes Kenseth and Logano in 2 laps, Allen says he's plateaued and Logano closes the gap

 

[Racer1930]

No idea...something apparently happened....just wanted to keep you up to date.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Feel bad for the folks who paid to watch this snoozer

He's always confused about which car is getting passed

 

[Michfan]

It's been a good race, passing all over

 

[Racer1930]

It's been a good race, passing all over

...and it will get better at the end - meteor showers predicted in turn 4 - possible late cautions

 

[RowdyBusch]

The 18 is garbage today.

 

[Acs]

Cool to watch this battle for the lead but neither are going to win this race with the two worst pit crews in the chase.

 

[racer8]

I was only half listening, what is it about the fuel cans for the 78 that's causing problems?

They are saying it the car side of it and not the cans.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Leaders going by lapped cars, sure

Even with Elliott running well here, in contention for the win, this race imo has been miserable.

 

[jws926]

The 18 is garbage today.

He got the more important win yesterday, so its all good.

 

[BOWTIE GUY]

not hard to pass someone when they just move over.
