Cup RACE thread --- Loudon

[carolinabuff]

NASCAR made the lap 30 competition caution happen on lap 8 after wrecking the leaders out of sheer stupidity?

 

[carolinabuff]

Tower just told teams over the radio that the race has a chance to be shortened due to lightning in upcoming storms.

Maybe they should start the fuggin races at 1:00 pm.

Or due to darkness

When in danger or in doubt,
Run in circles; scream and shout.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

When has that ever been a 2 lap penalty? Weird call.

Silver lining is that it’s way early in the race.

 

[HoneyBadger]

A two lap penalty? Are they just making **** up now?

No **** dude. Haha afternoon thunderstorms are the reason the Firecracker 400 used to be at 11 am as well

For working under the red flag.

 

[antman12]

Ummm WTF is that crew member doing?!??

Starting a race at 3:30 pm at a track with no lights is just idiotic. If there is any type of delay they are screwed on time.

We all live in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, don't you know that?

Looks like a miscommunication with the team not knowing it was a red flag or something. They weren't subtle about it at all.

Possible. Regardless, a self inflicted wound.

Yeah, that didnt seem like they were trying to be sneaky about it, just straight didnt know the red flag was out

As much of a circus as this has been, they probably thought it was still a caution or something. LOL.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Gotta admit, this is not what I wanted to get me through a two-week racing drought.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Gonna put my tin foil hat on and say that this race is gonna be fairly uneventful now. Drivers probably told to race on eggshells to try to get the race in on time.

 

[antman12]

“NASCARs gonna officiate it.”

the dreaded words.

 

[carolinabuff]

That's right, no race for the next 2 weekends because of the stupid Olympics

You better check yourself.

 

[JBone88]

Do these chattering animals ever shut up?

Letarte literally didn’t shut up the entire 2 hour delay.

 

[carolinabuff]

So they need to bring track drying equipment back out because of the weepers. Meanwhile let's continue to burn caution laps

 

[ChexOrWrex]

NASCAR: race might be shortened.

also NASCAR: run 15 minutes worth of pace laps.

And here we go, again

 

[lisa]

Hellooooo folks!!!!!

I'm a watchin Kurt today.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wwhoooboyy Chase is wheelin that car.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Anybody out there? No Alfredo jokes? Did NASCAR shut us down for actions detrimental or did everyone leave in disgust?

 

[FLRacingFan]

The booth somehow seems more awkward without Rick.

 

[Magicmiler]

CBS. Allen Bestwick and Ken Squire.
Hell, even Bill "Hurricane " hair Webber would be the "Olympic Dream Team".

@bobpockrass

NASCAR asks the spotters to ask the drivers if they are good with going green (with the weepers in Turn 1).

RWR non-caution. Good call.

 

[CodeMan125]

Cody Ware ladies and gentlemen

 

[jws926]

Our weekly RWSBR no caution

 

[DIDIT]

Blaney coming!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Great no call there.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Never fails that any time a race runs late NASCAR suddenly swallows the whistle and doesn’t call cautions. Not that I mind, but it’s noticeable.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Hendrick cars far superior again.

 

[DIDIT]

Hendrick cars far superior again.

At this point Blaney us faster than Chase.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hendrick cars far superior again.

1 HMS car in the top 10. Huh?
