Cup RACE thread --- Loudon

[TexasRaceLady]

It's Monday! Race day!
Had to watch the men's final at Wimbledon yesterday. It may not have been racing, but it was "must see TV" --- fantastic match.

This is the exact reason why I tell my stores that I prefer to be off work Sunday and Monday. I don’t want to be disappointed when the race gets postponed and I no longer get to watch.

Nothing exciting for my race lunch today. Grilled cheese from QT and a large Dr. Pepper. But hey, it works!

They should never put anything on the track, never ever.
Teams Show up, race the surface that is there period. JMHO

A suggestion: Get a DVR.

I use Hulu live tv and I think they have DVR. I just strongly dislike watching taped races. I'll watch the highlight video that's uploaded to Youtube, but I just can't do the full race replay. Not sure why, I just can't.

I love when the first camera shot to introduce the broadcast is the cars already on track.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Fyi for anyone who usually tunes in after the ceremonies... Cars are already rolling on track, green in a minute

I don't mind watching the National Anthem, especially when it's some unknown trying to get their voice heard. But yeah, I don't need the rest of the prerace stuff.

 

[Spotter22]

Lets do it!

Home from work just in time to catch the start!

The joys of a postponed race. If you can ever attend one, a Monday race is just surreal. No problem parking, often no cooler check, nobody cares where you sit, drop the rag and go.

DVR'ing this one so I'll catch y'all in the Rate the Race discussion.

Green flag on a Monday

 

[TexasRaceLady]

One of the joys of retirement --- it doesn't matter when they run the race.

 

[aunty dive]

Let’s go 6 … today’s the day.

 

[aunty dive]

They shouldn’t, but those mudflaps really annoy me.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Crud, I was posting on prerace thread. Herp derp!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

11 coming to life. TRD brought some weapons this weekend.

Almost as bad as the door numbers!

Experienced this several years ago at Charlotte. Fall Saturday night race was rained out, ran Sunday at 11 or 12 start. PERFECT. That was a great race day experience.

 

[Efisher131]

The crowd is really good for a Monday. More than some Sunday races have had there in the past 5-8 years

Get in the seat and get with em!

 

[REBS31]

There’s been two Cup races I’ve been unable to watch live this year which were Sonoma and Dover, with both being won by Truex. Today’s the third and if it happens again I’m betting everything on him next time.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Looks like AG's adjustment on the 9 didn't work out.

Hendrick as a whole is junk the last few weeks other than Byron and it’s starting to get concerning.

 

[antman12]

Could the 54 get it done today??? Doubtful...but his win is coming soon.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Larson being essentially a non factor is the biggest red flag for me.

 

[Spotter22]

Truex and Blaney both ran a .40 on lap 58. Something to keep in mind, looks like the 12 has a nice setup

 

[Magicmiler]

The Gerbils just said this, damn near word for word.
@Greg is a clairvoyant...

 

[StandOnIt]

B+ can't catch Byron who is on two lol.

 

[antman12]

sheesh KBoo.

 

[Daytripper]

Got into the top 10 before the stage ended.

Yeah, I don't understand how the 24 has been so good, while the 5 really hasn't been doing much and the 9 and 48 are basically irrelevant. Hopefully they all turn it up a notch when the playoffs start

You of all people should know it’s because William Byron is the best driver in NASCAR.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Do we know what happened to Kyle yet???

 

[Daytripper]

20 crew looking to win the bonehead award.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Pretty tired of the 9 running like ass

 

[Blaze]

First DNF for LaJoie? Nice.

Not gonna matter for the 48 and 9, they need to turn it on yesterday.

 

[Daytripper]

5 is looking pretty good
