Cup RACE thread --- Loudon

[TexasRaceLady]

Open at the green.

I will be on the road toward Washington, D.C. this weekend. My father's ashes are going to be interred
at Arlington Cemetery.

I have given TEMPORARY permission to a member to open the race thread. I will be here in the
evenings as soon as we stop for the night and I establish a connection to Wi-Fi with my laptop.

48 start violation??????

 

[StandOnIt]

There is a pissed off driver in the 20

 

[ToyYoda]

Not a great start for the 48.

 

[StandOnIt]

Johnson gave it back WTF

Note to TRL: Your "Temp" did a great job - thread was opened at the exact time of the green flag.

Hang in there today

Looks like the 78 brake checked Johnson

TRL: quite an honor.

 

[Johali]

Larson already up to 19th.

 

[Bob]

Larson +20 in 8 laps?? Oy vey.

 

[ToyYoda]

Truex, Kenseth, and McMurray look like they all have the same paint scheme.

That's what it looked like to me too.

 

[Johali]

Just as we knew Larson is on a rail. He's up to 14th already. Damn.

 

[racer8]

78 already big lead

 

[jaqua19]

Truex wanted to switch with Jimmie, wanted the outside half a lap before the green, so he was pissed. Friggin guy. 48 is still as good as anyone on the clock.

He'll be there. 18 wins this though.

DJ thinks we have a first time winner today, so I'll roll with that

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I'm happy with the second groove so far!

He said he wanted to be in the top 5 by the end of the first section. I thought "no way", but he just may do it.

11th now.

 

[jaqua19]

Larson was complaining in practice how bad he was on long runs. Guess it doesn't matter when you have speed with the gen 6

 

[jaqua19]

48 still as fast as anyone, even in traffic

Danica is in the top 25 early - you never know

 

[ReturnTrip]

Harvick missing that HMS equipment.

 

[lisa]

Kurt dropping like a rock.

 

[ToyYoda]

Kyle Larson has the settings on Easy today I see.

 

[StandOnIt]

Jaime is up to third and right on KDB's tail end

A first winner would be nice, but this is looking to be another MTJ race to lose

 

[jws926]

Probably has all assist on too

 

[CodeMan125]

Larson is hauling ass

 

[jaqua19]

7 second lead in 30 laps. Zzz

 

[ToyYoda]

Probably has all assist on too

And automatic transmission.

 

[StandOnIt]

Between the camera work and this bunch of yappers ..tell me is there a race going on? It's like it is a sport talk show or something.

 

[Kiante]

78 and 42 are in a whole another realm of pace.

Its stupid how fast they are.

Sounds like you are watching something else, the channel you are looking for is NBCS/N

 

[Hawaii808]

Truex marching away from the pack again. Is he that good? Is the car tricked up in a new way? Mix of both? (My guess).

 

[StandOnIt]

Letard was talking about how he wanted to see the 42 and the 78 race? It took 38 laps.

I was surprised to see there have been four first time winners at this track (Nemechek in '99, Newman in '02, Bowyer in '07, Logano in '09), not typically a track I've thought of as producing a lot of first time winners.

 

[jaqua19]

Eh, there were another 2 cars keeping pace with them. But in a whole, yeah, I agree.

 

[Taco]

42 will use his brakes up just like Sonoma.
