Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

[AdoubleU24]

Napa scheme was only tweaked from last year but looks a zillion times better. I refused to buy any merch with last years scheme lol

I do think it looks a lot better on track than it did when the initial pics came out

 

[Hendrick4ever]

Hendrick cars looking good so far

Same with Byron’s scheme from last week.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Nice job 38.

 

[Nitro Dude]

They definitely hit the right setup on the 9 car.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Lost a step?

Is it that or do they not care any more?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

“Dip****s in the way every week” intensifies

They were dominant here last year before the tearing off the valve stem in a freak pit stop deal late.

At least Alan just said “we’ve got to lap him as soon as possible to solve that.”

 

[RollingCode]

Why is the 15 car even in the track? Kind of ridiculous cars going a lap down 15 laps into a cup race.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

It still baffles me that Fox refuses to show the choose cone at restarts. That’s one rare instance of drama and strategy.

 

[RollingCode]

Hendrick cars look great so far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Nice job 38.

It's in the box.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Didn’t know 9 screwed the body there. Dangit

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Yep. Chase slid too deep. 9’s fault

They did for Trucks and X.

23 shooting himself in the foot again

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Here comes the Showman!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Harv, what the heck?

 

[Old Kid]

If we did rate the race right now would it be a unanimous 10?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Seeing fans in the stands gets me excited to get back to the track

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

This is some fantastic racing!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Chase getting impatient with the 2. *Daytona Roval intensifies*

 

[34R7H130UND]

Good to see some actual racing and passing up front

 

[Nitro Dude]

If we did rate the race right now would it be a unanimous 10?

Absolutely

 

[RollingCode]

This is an absolute blast to see in person. Phenomenal racing.

 

[Spotter22]

Blaney just ran a 30.60 boys bad fast

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Debris? Really?

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Feels like the lack of practice has been a benefit. No one knows what they have and it allows to make the races more competitive for the better part of the field.

My favorite was his teammate pushing the 2 back by him on the back stretch

 

[Nitro Dude]

Larson is answering the call so far since he has been back.

 

[DewChaser988]

The only issue with this package is that it requires the cars to be neutered for the racing to work.. Cup cars to me should be 700-900HP monsters, pushing 200 into the corners

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Blaney just ran a 30.60 boys bad fast

Yep. Drama now is how will he blow it or get messed up

 

[BobbyFord]

Pretty dicey so far.
Can’t wait til we have practice back.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

My favorite was his teammate pushing the 2 back by him on the back stretch

Methinks the rest of HMS resents his success and spotlight.

The racing kind of reminds me of the CART days at Fontana. Was very fortunate to be able to attend this race and I have to say this is already the best racing I’ve ever seen at Vegas.

I wonder what’s going on with the SHR cars. Harvick faded quickly and the others are pretty far back.

43 came up into Harv and crumpled left front fender. Was plowing tight before that even.

Hard to tell from the track TVs. How bad is it?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Michael Jordan is probably already over this ****

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I thought NASCAR was past the days of throwing phony debris cautions.
