Cup RACE thread --- Michigan, Rd. 2

[TexasRaceLady]

Open at the green.
Keep in mind this is about the RACE, please.
Let's keep the moaning and groaning about the camera work, the commercials, the talking
heads, etc., in another thread. Please.
It makes it easier for posters to keep track of the action, etc.

Whoohooo

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Go 88,2,78, and 24 !!!

 

[Professur]

Will there be a caution before the mandatory yeller?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I like this track because the drivers can search around for a good groove ---nice and wide.

Buescher's engine sounds terrible when they come by. He was told to do everything he can to make it to lap 20 comp. caution.

 

[DUN24]

Pretty snoozy thus far.

Larson is quickest on the track. .3 better than the leader right now.

 

[UpNorth]

Let's hope the 42 can keep it together for the whole race this time!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Buescher made it to the caution. Now, can they fix it?

 

[Mispeedway15]

My view today

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wtf is the comp caution for?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I would assume because the cars had not been on the track since the rain yesterday. Check tire wear.

Slid his tires coming onto pit road, forced to take 4... P21. Lol

With an obvious caution at lap 20, I don't really think any drivers cared to race too hard, thus making it snoozy. Maybe it'll pick up.

Hamlin seriously has a great pit crew. I swear he's able to pick up several positions every stop.

Was unaware it had rained, thanks

Already has the look of a snoozy fuel mileage race

 

[Kiante]

Hasn't been that bad.

Logano got up to 216 going into turn one. That is madness in itself.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Buescher made it to the caution. Now, can they fix it?

Guess not.

 

[BobbyFord]

Giant right foot inside the 4 car

 

[ToyYoda]

Uh oh Kyle...

 

[Professur]

Ah .. there it is.

 

[Kiante]

I thought that was DiBenedetto.lol

The Interstate Batteries and Dustless Blasting cars look the same.lol

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kurt's underwear is now brown

 

[BobbyFord]

Damn, that sucked

 

[sprinterv6]

What is the 18 saying on the radio?

 

[Kiante]

Damn, that sucked

"Vortex theory".

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Would love to see Bowman stay up there all day

 

[BobbyFord]

"Vortex theory".

Currently in the LD position. Hoping for a quick non-JGR caution

 

[BobbyFord]

What is the 18 saying on the radio?

#%*$@&!!!!!!!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Is it me, or are the Toyotas bottoming out more than any other team on every restart?

Ive just been seeing it for a few weeks now

 

[DUN24]

88 blowing up!

 

[Professur]

Low tire pressures. I saw several cars sparking in the corners on the restarts.

 

[beantownkid10]

88 team desperately needs Jr. back.

 

[BobbyFord]

88 blowing up!

Might be the caution the 18 needs to get back on the lead lap

 

[ChexOrWrex]

88 blowing up!

HMS engine shops just collectively clenched

 

[DUN24]

HMS engine shops just collectively clenched

Yeah it's slightly concerning for sure

Might be the caution the 18 needs to get back on the lead lap

Pfffffft

 

[RacerrecaR]

A lot more single file racing than I was expecting.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Would love to see Bowman stay up there all day

So much for that.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

88 team desperately needs Jr. back.

While Gordon had been in the car he outscored the other 3 HMS teammates in points & today theres an engine issue. I dont see how the driver is the issue, imo.
