Cup RACE thread --- Loudon

[jws926]

NASCAR should be letting everyone pull backup cars out and start over. This is complete .

The backups are in the shops, teams are not bringing them for the one day shows.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

So basically Steve O is saying "We like what we are seeing"

“We’ve never seen anything like this!”

The Winston would like to have a word, dumbass

 

[carolinabuff]

I hate the SOB, but I respect the hell out of KyBu in that interview. NASCAR screwed the pooch and he called them on their crap without crossing the line.

Yes, he absolutely took the high road but it would've been more fun if he said what was really on his mind lol

 

[JBone88]

Not the first time NASCAR has bungled a rain race. Never should’ve started this bad boy.

Still, these NBC guys need to get a grip. Don’t think this warrants a Congressional committee hearing.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

While I may have a reputation for whining, what we saw today was really embarassing..

Never in my life have I seen a sanctioning body so utterly incompetent, these clowns are going to get somebody killed because they have no idea what they are doing

Thats on race control, not the sanctioning body. To be fair to your statement, the body hires race control staff.

Still, what a royal **** up.

 

[HoneyBadger]

"Track is lost."

So is leadership.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

What was the weather like at the track before the green flag?

 

[HoneyBadger]

“We’ve never seen anything like this!”

Texas last fall.

COTA.

 

[Magicmiler]

Burtons blinking is worse than his "commentary "..
And O donnel acting and talking like were imbeciles. Utterly sad...
.Time to finish my engine bbq grille...

 

[Pat]

Nascar shouldn't have started the race. Also I feel every driver should have been yelling It's freaking raining!!!

 

[BobbyFord]

What a joke

 

[HoneyBadger]

Still, these NBC guys need to get a grip. Don’t think this warrants a Congressional committee hearing.

Nice to see NBC holding NASCAR's feet to the fire. There's just way too much bullsheot going on.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Everyone tap dancing around the real issue: TV mandates caused this

 

[DewChaser988]

No kidding, somebody needs to be fired over this

He’s sending Morse code messages. The tv producers are threatening the booth.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Texas last fall.

COTA.

Texas last fall was another inexcusable disaster. Amazing it happened again lmao

Either bring rain tires at eligible tracks or don’t put the cars on a wet track. It’s can’t be this difficult.

 

[AdoubleU24]

How did I know O'Donnell was going to give us the old "We were just about to throw it" excuse...

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Whoever in the tower said "1 to go at the line" should be fired. What a clustercrap.

 

[JBone88]

Nice to see NBC holding NASCAR's feet to the fire. There's just way too much bullsheot going on.

While I agree, guarantee NBC was leading the charge on starting this race during the window they paid for. NASCAR has their nuts in the network vice.

Mreh, that poor guy had a NBC gun to his head so…

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Are we sure it wasn’t Alan Gustafson? Sounds like their version of his “10-4”.

 

[Pat]

Then they got what they deserve.. a red flag.

 

[Greg]

I don't usually root for Kyle Busch got screwed on that deal and he handled it with class.

Now, I gotta rewind the DVD and see if Samantha was out on the rain.

 

[FLRacingFan]

If they let them make repairs I’m claiming a retroactive title for Harvick last year like they do in college football. This series makes even less sense than CFB anyways.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I know everyone is happy or surprised to see Kyle Busch is such a “calm” manner, but **** that noise man. That’s not the Kyle Busch this sport needs. If he doesn’t light NASCAR up like the Fourth of July, we have nothing but Yes Men and that’s how we get situations like this.

The day that he starts giving Jimmie Johnson type interviews consistently, I’m out.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Mreh, that poor guy had a NBC gun to his head so…

Was NBC at COTA too?

 

[DewChaser988]

How much longer are we going to have to deal with Tweedle Dee (Steve Phelps) and Tweedle Dum (Steve O'Donnell) continuing to make a mockery of our sport until the Frances get it through their skulls that those two imbeciles have no idea what the **** they are doing?

I mean seriously, those two are completely ****** clueless..

 

[Magicmiler]

Next week , look for a caution for paper on the track...

 

[AdoubleU24]

He almost hooked the pace car. That was good enough for me lmao.

He just needs to pretend the Tower is one of those Toyota splitters he’s so fond of.

****** CANT TURN PIECE OF MONKEY ****

A few years back they started Bristol in the rain with a wet backstretch. Pretty much same result as today.

[ChexOrWrex]

Lmao Jeff Burton is such a tool, he was the catalyst for the deal that got his own kid the #21 car, and he’s talking trash about Matt DiBenedetto now. Matt has had better success than Menard in that car and has just started putting some solid results together this season with an entire team that couldn’t figure themselves out for half a season.

It’s petty af but for crap like that, it makes me want to wish Harrison just a terrible time in that car to shut Jeff up. He is way overestimating his son.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Just getting in late here. How could Race Control start this while it was proven wet in turns 1&2. Epic failure.

I don't think the yapping and pouting makes the racing world go round.
It is just background noise.

IMO we just need great racing and most all of the passion to flow from the product on the track, along with some smoking hawt OMG trophy queens

 

[DewChaser988]

Sorry for my little tirade earlier, it's just this is the kind of bull**** that happens when you have people who have obviously never been near a racetrack running a motorsports sanctioning body

 

[ChexOrWrex]

@Dr_B_UNC if there was a rainbow over turn 1 they would have red flagged it amirite

Same guys who could pinpoint an extremely localized area of droplets on the Daytona road course

Would be hilarious if DiBenedetto went out and won now.
