Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

[Dr_B_UNC]

A yellow puts Chase in the final 4. Man kinda feels like luck is on his side here.

He’s due

The best Ross has run today.

Larson: "Does William know if I win than we are both basically in?"

Cliff: "For sure"

William would be smart to not help Larson.

This luck is the epitome of Larson's playoffs


Good on the 9 for earning it. But man.

 

[Brentford]

The booth seems pretty certain that we’re going to see another yellow that’ll give Bell his lap back.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I anxiously await the 9 passing the 5, only to sh*t the bed after a late drama caution.

NASCAR handed them the script. /s

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

5 is still better than 9.

 

[BobbyFord]

5 is pulling away from the 9 on older tires

All these "ifs, and, buts" from the booth are making my head hurt.

Tire wear may level off. 20 lap fresher tires may equalize soon.

I'm at peace with whatever happens. Larsons team did what they needed to do to win, and you couldn't ask for more this opportunity.

If the strategy and yellows fall the way they do, then you gotta live with it. It's fitting that it comes down to this.

If it comes down to a bumper, I can live with it.

Good point, but the racing gods cannot be trusted.

“Organic” racing

This is chases chance to beat his kryptonite

 

[Mispeedway15]

I do love Martinsville

 

[Turtle84]

how the heck is the 5 leading this race lol

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

It’s over. Rest easy @jaqua19

 

[jaqua19]

The challenge for the 9 is that the 5 team ran their weekend tuning for the long run and Larson had elite pace beyond lap 60.

With tired equalizing, Larson may stretch it out to end the race.

We will see. Chase may need a yellow or lap traffic help..

Either way, you have control of the race. if you get beat on tires, you gotta live with jt.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

This is chases chance to beat his kryptonite

And he still can’t. At least we have 2020.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I figure the Hendrick souvenir trucks must embed depressants on the hats and T-shirts.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Tip your cap and move on. Whine about damage all you want, but the damage was because you flat screwed up. You and your half assed spotter.

 

[Blaze]

Always next year

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I can’t be mad, because the 5 deserves it way more.

 

[BobbyFord]

Chase is no Kyle Larson. That’s the difference.

 

[TheJester]

how the heck is the 5 leading this race lol

Because of nascar being incompetent

 

[HoneyBadger]

Congratulations on the 2024 championship, Kyle Larson.

 

[BobbyFord]

I would like to see a yellow, please.

 

[2 Sweet]

HMS running 1-2-3. I love it

 

[HoneyBadger]

Because of nascar being incompetent

Between that and the 48 dumping the 77 for no reason whatsoever…

I expected Larson to win but man.

 

[Blaze]

I would like to see a yellow, please.

You trying to give Chase a chance?

 

[BobbyFord]

I would like to see a yellow, please.

this was possibly an unpopular post

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Blaney is rolling, he's gonna catch Chase for sure and possibly Larson too.

 

[jaqua19]

Ah ****

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Blaney's on the way

 

[Blaze]

Come on Chase!!!

 

[jaqua19]

It's over for Larson. Won't hold them off

 

[2 Sweet]

Fun battle with 25 to go

 

[jaqua19]

****.

Let's go Blaney!

 

[BobbyFord]

Oooo, Byron out with that 2 pass.
Manufestered drama.
