Cup RACE thread --- Kentucky

Hard to believe Kyle is the 3rd dawg at JGR now

 

[ChexOrWrex]

He wanted top and got it. Too bad the adjustment they made has made tight car even tighter.

“unfortunately it hasn’t done anything I want it to. Still super tight. 3 and 4 real similar.”

 

[StandOnIt]

Teamates running 2nd 3rd and 4th, and where is Kez? 20th

 

[Turtle84]

thought Harvick would be more of a factor today, lost too many spots on pit road.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Aric was great in 2018 but he is running even better this year

 

[Charlie Spencer]

How long does Kyle Busch race with poorly set up cars before heads start to roll?

Assuming the problem is with the cars ...

 

[pjmolo]

That was a great camera shot of the start

Wish they'd use that longer range camera shot more often instead of the close ups of the cars going zoom zoom zoom.

Doubt Kyle is the issue lol. He just won a championship with these exact same cars last season.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

BIG cell about 75 miles north, headed south but may miss.

 

[Michfan]

1 groove cookie cutter races with no tire fall off are brutal

Same driver, team, and cars, the diff is the lack of practice.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Does FOX understand that those are not lap times, but speed at the line?

 

[Turtle84]

My vote for bacon will consist of going to get a double western bacon cheeseburger if Almirola pulls this off.

Not buying that excuse. They just are off this year.

Kyle wasn't much better this year with practice. They just are behind.

excuses excuses

Which means lack of desired set up. Others have been fast off the truck, the #18 has not.

Either the clock is ticking for someone’s job or Kyle will rattle off 3 wins in a row and be right back in the mix.

I still think Blaney has the car to beat if he can get the track position

He's just a dog today. You know how a driver or crew chief says "we circled that one on the calendar". Yeah, they never do that on this one.

Well Chevy got an updated body, while Ford is still holding their own.

I think its more that everyone has caught up to them.

Of course if Harvick was able to get out front all would be well.

 

[jaqua19]

Jimmie Johnson has the second fastest lap of the race by 0.05

Is anyone successfully running the bottom lane anymore? This has gotten awfully follow the leader.

 

[10-4]

Almirola's got this I'm gonna take a nap.

 

[jaqua19]

Here comes Blaney

Yeah buried in dirty air at this point. Need a caution

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Unless he takes no tires he’s gonna be buried in dirty air for a while.

Looks like a UPS drop yard in the infield. Guess they must be doing that for extra revenue.

I just don't see that happening but yeah.

Aren't you asleep?

Commercial, but Blaney has it down to a second.

Would love to see Aric win this one, but the 12 is the best car today.

This race is like a sedative...

 

[StandOnIt]

3 Hendrick cars inside the top 10

 

[10-4]

Hunt Brothers Pizza paint scheme never goes to victory lane.

 

[jaqua19]

Battle for the lead, Blaney is on him.

Lol.. I'm all over the place. I'm more curious why they got all those trailers dropped in the infield than I am into this race.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Blaney to the lead.

 

[StandOnIt]

Blaney is gone

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Blaney to the lead.

Like Aric hit a brick wall.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

That 12 is wicked today
