Cup RACE thread --- Loudon

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Power steering gone on the 48.

 

[BobbyFord]

or both were just mistakes. sh!t happens.

...on very different areas of the track.
Go Clint, amirite?

 

[DSquad48]

Ol noodle arms Johnson loses power steering and 15 positions in a single lap

 

[Johali]

Gustafson just told Chase that the belt came off and knocked the top radiator hose off. They had to hunt some down because somebody forgot to put the spares in the parts box.

Chase gives great feedback and they often do make the car better throughout a race. Not sure where this criticism is coming from. I know people hate on Alan but he's been the best CC at HMS for a few years now.

I’m bitter and irrational, but not to the level of Facebook posting. Let me vent.

HMS not having a good weekend, JJ loses his power steering now

 

[Kiante]

48 lost his power steering, yikes.

No banking to lean on either, this is going to be nightmarish for JJ.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

****ass driver in that #48 car /s

Get one off a scrapped #88. Get two.

 

[BobbyFord]

He wasn’t a threat for the point lead before the belt made an exit.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

lol Daniel makes a mistake "package" when Clint does it... "he's bad."

Daniel flat out lost talent. Ricky’s argument at least has merit.

 

[harkin]

“I don’t know where he thought he was goin”

“He don’t know”

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is surely gonna become a Kyle Busch show in the last stage

To be fair there was water on the track and no traction compound in the middle lane made it worse.

I get what you are saying, but its just easier/faster to borrow from another team then try and pull parts off the car , there isnt a lot of room to work on the upper decks of the haulers.

Ad hominem but keep on keepin on.

I mean Clint has to be doing something right. He’s gotten himself some wins. Won faster than Daniel did as well. but I guess facts aren’t important.

Lack of glue
I remember when glue didn’t factor into good racing.

Karma paying back Menard ?

 

[SlicedBread22]

Bowyer ever gonna catch a break this year? Damn

 

[Kiante]

Karma paying back Menard ?

I noticed that, too.

Maybe.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

#18 came back down pit road to fix a tire rub. Will start at rear.

Daniel will be in a Cup car next year. Clint will not.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Karma drives a Dodge.

 

[Blaze]

Daniel will be in a Cup car next year. Clint will not.

We’ll see, doesn’t change the fact that mistakes happen. No matter where at on the track. Many many drivers have done what Clint did. You just hate Clint so it’s understandable.

 

[Kiante]

Daniel will be in a Cup car next year. Clint will not.

Until Daniel wins a race with SHR, I still think Clint is better right now.

 

[ToyYoda]

Rick Allen and Mike Bagley both on the Watkins Glen telecast. Looks like I’ll be watching that one on mute.

 

[jws926]

Karma drives a Dodge.

I must of missed the announcement that the Dodge brand had to returned to the Cup series this weekend.

Hendrick cars are a joke. Driveshaft failure #88, Water pump failure #9, power steering failure #48. These sorts of problems shouldn't be happening, especially with the lower horsepower and RPM rules package this year.

I don’t hate Clint. I actually like his personality.
Find a different angle.

Clint as won at SHR, so he does have that going for him.

William Byron’s COMPUTER! is gonna crash next.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I’m sure the #24 team is fuming that Almirola only got a warning.

****** inconsistent ass calls.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Another belt issue for HMS

 

[ToyYoda]

He’s having a bad year this year, but I think he’s done alright overall. Let’s not forget, Tony wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire his last few years in the 14 either.

Currently 22nd.

Another water pump issue for HMS

Well my apologies. You just come off as hating him. Dude still has talent tho. You don’t win races(unless it’s like one you luck into) without talent. Hell dude won with MWR and that surely wasn’t a top team.

 

[donthaveanickname]

So that's two Hendrick cars with the same issue in the same race.
