Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

I wish the finale was here. For whatever reason, this car races very well here. 3 wide for the lead!

Hendrick cars are by far the best as usual and their fans keep complaining that they need more horsepower.

We all know Larson will win and we’re still gonna be talking about unfair.

Umm.....where have you been in 2026?

And who is complaining about horsepower?

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

That was RACING.

 

[jaqua19]

Good racing. Larson's long run pace may hurt a bit from running that hard so early on the bottom. But in this car you take the track position every time

 

[SeventyGTX]

Insane racing rn

Two excellent dirt drivers going at it.

We all know Larson will win and we’re still gonna be talking about unfair. Yea let’s not act like the whole reason that happened is because Hamlin and Gibbs got penalties for speeding lmao

let’s just not act like the whole reason that happened is because Hamlin and Gibbs got penalties for speeding lmao. Totally changed the equation

 

[jaqua19]

I'm really eager to see how long the leaders stay out. 30 laps into the run was it for stage 1. Bell, Larson, Elliott probably abused their tires more than they did all race.

The yotas shoot themselves in the foot and some fans are butt hurt.

To be fair, two of the top Gibbs cars got busted on pit road and I am no Toyota fan

 

[RollingCode]

45 falling off big time from lead group.

Larson Elliott and Byron all had better long run pace, legitimately every run of the race.

Seems more like the natural progression of the race. Track position still matters.

9 is all over the 20 right now.

The dog is missing some great racing....

 

[jaqua19]

That didn’t last long

"We"?

"He" but not "Me"

 

[jaqua19]

Byron really fast too.

 

[jaqua19]

Nope it didnt.

 

[StandOnIt]

Looks like a good race to be at. Plenty of racing going on all over the track.

If Larson was in a Toyota he would have lapped the field by now.

 

[Turtle84]

Kyle Busch wellness check. Sounds satisfied with 25th

 

[jaqua19]

Larson reporting having no grip due to the first handful of laps.

 

[jaqua19]

LOL what are we talking about in the booth. Were they not watching?

 

[wi_racefan]

What did they do to the #48? That thing is hauling

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Larson reporting having no grip due to the first handful of laps.

I wondered if he was going through his tires.

 

[jaqua19]

I wondered if he was going through his tires.

For sure. Worked for him relative to the 20 still.

 

[DanicaFreak]

9th fir hamlin

This car takes a lot of heat, but nobody can deny how good it races at the intermediates, which had been a huge problem for many years

 

[jaqua19]

I feel like Larson is to Vegas what Blaney has been to Phoenix.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Being a Josh Berry fan is pain this year.

 

[jaqua19]

So is SVG just super slow?

 

[Jypyone (La Rochelle)]

What did they do to the #48? That thing is hauling

They made it heavier, there's Bowman in the rear trunk...

 

[Charlie Spencer]

9th fir hamlin

Down four with the delayed pitting.

Michael Waltrip’s barber.

It all went from sugar to shiet when they replaced the Trophy Queens and Grid Girls with the lacks of Michael Waltrip and Rutledge Wood.

Fast cars and racing just the aint the same without hawt wimmins strutting around. It is as wrong and inglorious as rock music without a guitar, a sandwich without any mayonnaise, as wicked the suffering caused by the old disco shiet..

History will judge us harshly for throwing the glory away

 

[SeventyGTX]

11 already back in top 15

Well, there is only 21 on the lead lap so it's not like he had to pass 20 cars

 

[jaqua19]

On board with Larson.

He literally lifted behind Ricky to give him a gap. Best friends and all and seems to be riding behind him.

Reporting mkre free in traffic.
