Cup RACE thread --- Kentucky

Yes it has , so you are saying that purpose built tube chassis can be compared to a street car?

NASCAR has not ran a production cars since sometime I believe in the 70's, that is when they started switching over over to purpose built tube chassis, that is no longer a "stock car " at that point. Sure, the bodies were production, but those were panels on a purpose built chassis, and even those body panels were massage and change to fit templates back then.

Are you really trying to tell me that the twisted sisters cars of the pre COT days were comparable to the street cars?

Yea you could go into your showroom in the 80’s and buy the same exact Chevy Earnhardt used that weekend to wreck Darrell Waltrip. Drive right out of the showroom onto the street. #OneToughCustomer

You are missing the point.The common template is what I am referring to.I realize the chassis had to change<i am talking bodies only.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

He seems like a great dude though and a solid driver.

The People’s Champion.

 

[DewChaser988]

Years like this, make me wish, we didn't have a playoffs, since this would be a season long 3 way championship battle. Now there is a chance that none of the Big 3 would win the Championship, and that an undeserving 4th driver could win the title on a flukey rain shortened race win. Seriously, it's so asinine. Cut the manufactured drama, and go back to a traditional championship format (or the original Chase format, which had only the top ten in points make it in), NASCAR!

 

[Kiante]

Martin Thanos Jr has shown up tonight.

Oh hold up, here comes Kyle.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Whew Larson 3 wide with Logano and Clint. Whew boy. Good to see the 41run in the top 10. Please win soon Kurt.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Martin Thanos Jr has shown up tonight.

Fortunately, no one is driving an Avenger.

@Snappy D @ChexOrWrex
I could build it

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's keep this on the race, please.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Martin Thanos Jr has shown up tonight.

 

[ReturnTrip]

I just want to remind everyone that turn 3 is flat.

 

[jws926]

Blaney is finally having some good luck, sitting back there in 3rd

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I wish we could put Jeff Burton in the garage and leave him there.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Dave's boy is screwing up the Big 3 show.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Larson was over 4 seconds down to Harvick, now 1.8 and has been the fastest car on the track.

edit: Make that 1.3 seconds

 

[ChexOrWrex]

 

[machinistman3]

Larson will be a champion some day.The kid can drive.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

We need more helmet cam in our life. What a cool couple of laps around the track

 

[jws926]

This I can agree with 100%.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No.

 

[StandOnIt]

Damn Denny's helmet cam was exciting wasn't it?

 

[jws926]

I love the different POV's, just dont over do use them.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Thankfully....MTJ navigated the adversity that Bubba Wallace inflicted on him

 

[StandOnIt]

damn these guys are grasping at straws ...never shut up ...never give in.

 

[DewChaser988]

And Truex is giving the field another buttwhuppin'

 

[jws926]

I wonder............if Kyle snickered( get it?) as he drove by Ricky being a few laps down.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

No.

I liked it, I never raced in my life so I found it interesting watching how a guy gets around the track that actually does it for a living.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It's not Bubba's job to get out of anybody's way.

 

[JBone88]

THe BiG THrEE!!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Agreed, but we don't need more of it. Fox already over uses it.

 

[StandOnIt]

It's not Bubba's job to get out of anybody's way.

I'm hoping somebody gets in anybodies way

 

[DewChaser988]

I honestly don't see anyone else winning at the 1.5 mile tracks this year, but the Big 3, I mean, Truex is just straight up dominating tonight

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It's not Bubba's job to get out of anybody's way.

It’s not. MTJ bitches every week about a lapped car, it’s Bubba’s job to stay as close to the lead lap as possible. I have no problem with Bubba giving MTJ a hard time

 

[HoneyBadger]

Now that Truex is dominating again, fans are okay with boring. Comes down to who is winning.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'm hoping somebody gets in anybodies way

"Your Nobody called today..."

 

[jws926]

I'm hoping somebody gets in anybodies way

Like oh.....I don't know, maybe Ricky Jr gets in the way of say.........Kyle "Damned" Busch ?

 

[JBone88]

I'm hoping somebody gets in anybodies way

Not much of a race when everyone pulls over for each other.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Agreed, but we don't need more of it. Fox already over uses it.

Well if we could get what we just got one or two times a race, is that really over doing it?

 

[Bill Tetley]

Marty Truex Jr is having a great time and a great carreer

 

[JBone88]

Keselowski with 2 tires. That’s interesting
