Cup RACE thread --- Kansas

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

I feel for Larson. First time I ever heard of "limp mode" for an engine.

Engines and automatic transmissions have a limp mode for many different issues. The idea being that components will suffer less damage when something goes wrong.

Edit: Not sure if you were referring to Nascar specifically or not.

 

[jws926]

To me, participants don't keep participating when they're eliminated from playoffs.

to me, playoffs you have two teams, one from the western conference , one from the eastern conference playing.

 

[kkfan91]

Yeah no NBC the 5 got up their through pit strategy

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Why are they spending time watching the 78 and showing and replays...

Is there nothing more entertaining to show?

Ive heard it a few times this year.

don't forget the wild car..get it?

 

[LJ7201]

C'mon nascar would it kill ya to have a Latford system that gives winners a lot of points

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ive heard it a few times this year.

They have pills for that.

 

[jws926]

I dont wanna get it, but yes, the wild card, that too, better ?

 

[mkline]

I bet these commercials are run so Burton and Letart can get some oxygen.

 

[jws926]

They have pills for that.

But if last's longer than 6 hours, you need to contact your mechanic.

 

[jws926]

C'mon nascar would it kill ya to have a Latford system that gives winners a lot of points

But if NASCAR goes back that, they cant be a stick and ball sport that the idiots in Fl running NASCAR want it to be like.

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

LOL.

Never thought of that

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Racing Forums elitists: "no such thing as experimental setups"

Darian Grub: "hold my beer"

 

[StandOnIt]

I've been hoping for lockjaw

 

[LARRY]

Right after it happened, they explained and even got it direct from NASCAR.

I know. I was being a wise guy.
They said it so much even my wife thought they were overly stupid.
But the interview with Larson really proved the stupidity.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Nobody paid to talk gonna comment on Hamlin just about taking Johnson out there?

 

[LJ7201]

But if NASCAR goes back that, they cant be a stick and ball sport that the idiots in Fl running NASCAR want it to be like.

I'm no Larson fan but I want him to win every race left in the season and have the owners lobby to get an actually functional point system. You'd think seeing Byron lose one race from mechanical failure and therefore losing the truck title would've been telling enough.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'm no Larson fan but I want him to win every race left in the season and have the owners lobby to get an actually functional point system.

Yeah, and I want an Oompa-Loompa and a goose that lays golden eggs and a chocolate river. And I want them NOW, Daddy, NOW!

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

LOL @ "front" windshield.

 

[jws926]

This or Matt making it to Homestead without a win and winning it, either or.

 

[LARRY]

Oh, yeah. It kicks in just before the walk home mode.
Cadillac has had it for years.

 

[jws926]

LOL walk home mode

 

[jaqua19]

Lol when Chase is half a tenth faster than the 48, the 48 lets him go. 15 laps later when the 48 is faster and makes a move, Chase races him hard

 

[jaqua19]

What is Rick Allen talking about? Jimmie is 7 points ahead of Matt

 

[jaqua19]

No Rick Allen, the 48 is ahead of the 20

 

[DSquad48]

Jimmie is ahead of the 20 in points, so Jimmie needs to gain 3 positions for it to be tied? Dumbass Rick

 

[StandOnIt]

Lol when Chase is half a tenth faster than the 48, the 48 lets him go. 15 laps later when the 48 is faster and makes a move, Chase races him hard

if anybody believes the 24,48 are racing instead of holding their position I have a booby prize for them. Wake up Rick

 

[FLRacingFan]

Rick is approaching Marty Reid level, which I didn't think was possible. About the only thing he has left to do is call a race over at the white flag.

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

#17 is slowly sneaking up there. Don't know that he has a winning car, however.

 

[StandOnIt]

anybody notice the 48 is doing what the 20 is doing?

 

[jws926]

My guess is no, this is not a plate race.

 

[DSquad48]

They've made it clear on the radio that the 20 is who they are focusing on

 

[jws926]

anybody notice the 48 is doing what the 20 is doing?

Smart thing to do

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

anybody notice the 48 is doing what the 20 is doing?

Which is all he has to do, IMO.

 

[Kiante]

anybody notice the 48 is doing what the 20 is doing?

Nope.

/s

 

[StandOnIt]

so you noticed also..what about the booth?

 

[Gangrene Hockey #43]

Damn only 4.5 races left

I wish NBC/Fox would just subcontract MRN/PRN to do the races. I just need the tv execs to give us camera angles!!!

 

[StandOnIt]

Hambone slowed down on pit road..he thought he was at Bristol

 

[ChexOrWrex]

"CHASE IS TOO SOFT"

Isnt soft

"CHASE IS TOO AGGRESSIVE"
