Cup RACE thread --- Loudon

[aunty dive]

I just don’t understand the micromanagement here.

This is just embarrassing.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Burton apparently knows better than the drivers actually driving if the track is still too wet or not. Moron

OH FFS

 

[Brentford]

What a joke!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I'm not condoning Bubba taking these shenanigans to pit road, but it's not the first time nor the last time it's happened. And this was one of the least egregious examples of it too. Much worse has happened. Much, much worse.

I just felt he didn’t need to do it especially when they weren’t beating on each other, racing each other hard or had history. Dude just over drove it.

 

[OldTimer]

Do not like these twenty lap cautions. Just race, who ever managed the tires the best, does the best. The rest can crash.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I wonder how the race director next week or the week after would've handled this

Not the first time a driver's gotten mad about getting taken out by another driver's mistake.

Why is it such a big deal this time?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This is Indy Car race control bad. What an embarrassment, at this point they should have just let Steve keep his dinner plans in Charlotte.

Or the pit boss at the closest 1/4 midget track.

NASCAR management are easy to spot. They’re the ones with the feet all shot full of holes….

 

[Brentford]

One caution they allow some teams to change if they want. Another caution, they say no one can change. Now they make everyone change?

 

[Pat]

wt? Nascar?!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Because Noah didn’t wreck him on purpose?

 

[HoneyBadger]

I think they made those teams come back down and put their old set back on.

This is comedy ****** gold.

 

[Blaze]

Because Noah didn’t wreck him on purpose?

They been plenty of times where a driver didn’t do it on purpose….most of the time it is a mistake when drivers get mad…

You might be right. I'm losing track of everything at this point.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

This restart is gonna be bonkers.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Because Noah didn’t wreck him on purpose?

But it's been fine any time 39 other drivers get mad when they're taken out in a wreck when it wasn't intentional.

What's different about this one driver?

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Damn it McDowell!

 

[Speedbowl14]

Saw that coming

 

[AdoubleU24]

Mcdoofus

 

[FLRacingFan]

A bit of playoff desperation from McDriver.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

when have I ever said it was fine for anyone else to get mad? I don’t get your insinuation here

I’ll defend JDG here, I’m pretty sure the reason isn’t what you’re implying.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

At least Blaney already has a win.

Good job by Josh Berry to get by that mess.

 

[BobbyFord]

Calling the race for rain may have been the right choice.

 

[Brentford]

To Mcdowell's defense, he did say he wasn't going to take it easy out there. He did warn these drivers.

 

[Blaze]

Ryan, stop being mad. McDowell didn’t do it on purpose.

 

[StandOnIt]

My last thought before the start. Now all we need to finish this race off is to have the top 5 go into one and wreck each other...I was close

 

[dgbullfrog]

You might be right. I'm losing track of everything at this point.

Listening to Larson radio, they have put on fresh wets every time.

 

[antman12]

What a gong show

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I mean you’re not wrong there. I just didn’t like the pit road shenanigans, would it not be the worst thing in the world if bubba pulled in his own pit and handled his displeasure in another way?

 

[HoneyBadger]

I’ll defend JDG here, I’m pretty sure the reason isn’t what you’re implying.

I'm not implying anything.

I think people hate Bubba Wallace for reasons outside the obvious. He does have a temper.

 

[Brentford]

Harrison Burton in 9th? And here I was a couple weeks ago telling @kkfan91 how Burton wasn't gong to help him at all this weekend.

 

[Blaze]

I mean you’re not wrong there. I just didn’t like the pit road shenanigans, would it not be the worst thing in the world if bubba pulled in his own pit and handled his displeasure in another way?

I said I wish he handled it differently. I just don’t think he should be called an idiot for it. That’s basically it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Ryan, stop being mad. McDowell didn’t do it on purpose.

Ah a shot. That’s cute.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Great getaway from Bell.

Fair enough. I just was making sure. JDG is a good dude from every time I’ve interacted with him, so happy to see you didn’t mean that
