Busch Light takes the lead from Busch

That's really cute.


Hi folks, I'm really tired tonight or else I'd stick around and post with you all. I'll try to check back later.

This race isn't as awful as I expected. I guess that's a plus. It may be single file but the drivers are having a handful with their cars and it's creating some passing opportunities.

Also want to say the coverage for this race is MUCH better.

 

[carolinabuff]

Man this package would be awesome with soft tires and old track

Completely agree. Kind of like Darlington last year.

 

[Bob]

My man Potsch!

 

[carolinabuff]

Caution - 22 to the garage

 

[Michfan]

Bye joey

 

[jws926]

And now the 22

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What's the over / under on longest green flag run?

 

[Bob]

Oh no, Johnson in the wall! There goes my fantasy week...

I said for real, just now...

Sorry mate! I've given Jimmie many weeks off lately. My week is hitting the wall every lap in the 22.

Well, you won't have to worry about that any more...

Right front went kaboom.

The track will have more grip as the sun goes down so things might settle down later on

[Charlie Spencer]

Nice pass by Truex.

Marty's up front; we can go to bed now.

God damnit what the heck paul wolfe why would you gamble this early when you have a top running car already????!

I wondered about that. It doesn't seem to have paid any benefits.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

If you want to gamble, early in the race is the time to do it. Try something, if it works, then you have something to go on late in the race.

Lets go racing. Finally found the radio broadcast.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I'm glad Paul Wolfe is making bad decisions for Brad Keselowski.

 

[jws926]

83 tried to take down the wall

 

[Charlie Spencer]

There we go; right on schedule.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Letarte talks too much.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Strange how the low downforce has made JJ a non-factor.

 

[racefan41]

are drivers doing 2 tire stops twice in a row?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I think Kenseth just took 4 for the first time tonight.

 

[Kiante]

Tire went down.

Kentucky is unique because drivers are not really on throttle that long unlike other 1.5 mile tracks. Short front and rear straightaway here, not as much banking to help the drivers arc into corners, really a one lane track atm.

A lot of things against the drivers tonight, but those issues are probably the most obvious.

 

[Michfan]

Stop bringing rock tires, Goodyear

 

[carolinabuff]

Nice graphic they did there showing the aero differences with this package

 

[racefan41]

I think Kenseth just took 4 for the first time tonight.

I'm losing track of who took how many when. seems like a lot of 2 tire stops

 

[Kiante]

That sucks for Ryan.

Hopefully it does not hurt him too much.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Yikes.

 

[Kiante]

Oh ****.

 

[Pat]

Dang it.. Blaney took Chase out.
