Cup RACE thread --- Michigan, Rd. 2

[Charlie Spencer]

88 team desperately needs Jr. back.

Engine trouble doesn't care if Jr., Alex, or Jeff are in the car.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This Race seems to be much more spread out then the June race

Engine trouble doesn't care if Jr., Alex, or Jeff are in the car.

It was the University of Michigan paint scheme that caused it.

I don't believe that. How hard a driver is on an engine is a measurable factor .... but nobody doubts that my cars all run better when I'm behind the wheel.

3 Chevys in the top 5

What? All of the driving are running WOT as much as possible. There is no saving the engine. It's a consumable that you use as much as you can during the race.

Good race to get some yard work in.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Truex to the lead !!!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Good race to get some yard work in.

I do that during commercials. I've been doing it for so many years I can 'feel' when the 2.5 minute break is about to end.

But yeah, this one is more notable for what problems they're having.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

#48 P2

Harvick has cooked tires.

Yeah, this one's been a bit of a snoozer so far.

 

[BobbyFord]

Somebody is jumping up and down on the Bowtie juku beads :eek

Toyota out front

Toyota out front

What else is new LOL

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Of course the 78 crew messes up

 

[Professur]

First entry for the bonehead of the race....

 

[cheesepuffs]

78 team just shoots themselves in the foot again and again.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

There it is #78 team

 

[ChexOrWrex]

#24 pit crew giving "tire catcher" a whole new meaning.

Thats damn impressive

 

[jws926]

Shocking the #78 team

 

[racefan41]

is it KK's day?

 

[RacerrecaR]

is it KK's day?

Yeah, until the tire changer stands up too early. Is that considered being 'under control'? It looks like a new regulation waiting to happen.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

is it KK's day?

Of course not. He's on my fantasy team, and that seems to be his Kiss of Death.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

#88 running 210+ into the corners.

Problem solved

Easy solution - dont miss time it

Its not cheating if its not written in the rule book

 

[beantownkid10]

4 of 5 cars in the top 4 are Chevy's? Wowser, it's been a while.

EDIT: Scratch that. That's 5 of 5.

 

[BobbyFord]

Doesn't look like anyone's getting a lap back today.

 

[Brentford]

A few mechanical issues, but not much close racing going on. Hopefully the second half is more exciting.

 

[RacerrecaR]

The one positive about this race is green flag stops. That's the only good thing I can say up to this point.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I predict the #24 will catch the #48 in ~10-15 laps. The tire fall off for the leader seems to be a bit more than those behind.

 

[DSquad48]

Just tuned in -- look at that top-2!!

i beg the differ

 

[Brentford]

Bowman gained a position!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

i beg the differ

That NAPA logo is getting larger

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Seems like forever since Johnson last led a race

 

[*WEAVER*]

If Kahne wins this race, I will buy everybody on here a Kyle Busch T-Shirt.

 

[racefan41]

hasn't Kas already won here? couple years ago?
