Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

[Kiante]

That still doesn't make it a smart choice, and lets be real. NASCAR plays like a dozen NASCAR ads during their own program. No other sport does it at the same level.

Initiatives, future events, major sponsors within the sport, etc.

You know how this works.

Can someone explain what strategy these HMS guys are on? Lol I was on the go

Short pitted and probably didnt realize that the JGR cars were going to stay out and make it. Had to race the JGR cars back to be on the lead lap.

I’m going to bed 5 am comes quick on the east coast.

Stands look empty, F nascar for a Sunday night race. No reason we couldn’t do this last night or find a way to have a double header with trucks Friday night and xfinity/cup on Saturday. Stupid.

Have you seen the stands? Las Vegas isn't watching this race either.

 

[StandOnIt]

[StandOnIt]

There is/was a lot of other sporting events taking place in Vegas, WNBA, UFC, AAA Baseball, NFL ,Pre Season Hockey

Ya gotta plan. Sunday night race = taking Monday off

 

[DewChaser988]

I still hope Gase is okay, that was a huge hit

 

[ChexOrWrex]

but the West is NASCAR’s biggest audience. What a shame /s

 

[DewChaser988]

Also, starting this race in the middle of September in the day time in the ****** desert is still a STUPID idea

 

[DewChaser988]

Maybe there's no crowd in the stands because it's literally 100 ****** degrees out

 

[donthaveanickname]

Oooooo... Larson has to take the wave-round.

What exactly were they thinking when they didn't stop with everyone else early in Stage two.
Stalled out in 15th right now.

But it's a dry heat.

They all got duped by how far JGR could push, and the tires don’t mean jack ****.

Doesn't matter, it's still uncomfortable for people to sit in for 4 hours

Sorry, I thought the implied was understood.

I think they said it was 94 when the race started.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Come on, Reddick. Do the Lord’s work!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Larson and Chastain going at it and NBC is none the wiser. Pathetic.

 

[racer8]

One more pit stop ?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Reddick has been fantastic on the mile and halfs this year

 

[BobbyFord]

I think they said it was 94 when the race started.

It’s 92 now but it will start to cool off more quickly now.
Track still gonna change before the end…

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

When a HMS car fails inspection, it’s inevitably fast af. Wow at Byron. Too bad he doesn’t have time to capitalize

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

One more pit stop ?

Yes barring caution

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hamlin giving Reddick the air brakes. What a joke.

 

[BobbyFord]

But seriously, who doesn’t love Denny out front…?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Another snoozer. Mreh

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Props to Rick Allen giving us the Sunday Night Football score a bit ago though

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Screw this package. Let’s take one more swipe at that equine carcass

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

“The pace isn’t bad” He is running 23rd Jeff that is never good enough pace

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Crap start time, crap package, boring race. A real winner!
