Cup RACE thread --- Michigan, Rd. 2

[Charlie Spencer]

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

I'd tell you my shirt size, but you aren't going to need it.

 

[DUN24]

Pretty sure everyone is "cruising" trying to take care of their RF. Blaney losing patience with the 5.

 

[DSquad48]

Seems like forever since Johnson last led a race

He led a lap at Loudon a few weeks ago

The last time he led a lap legitimately (finished respectably) I believe was during the 600.

 

[DUN24]

And 21 into 5th.

10 years ago

I was thinking of wrong race

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Those in-car cameras --- damn, some of those drivers are really loose. Working those steering wheels.

 

[beantownkid10]

The 78 crew is god awful.

Along with a cup of gas and a match.

 

[DSquad48]

Botched stop on the 48. Chad wanted it packed full of fuel.

 

[lisa]

HI folks.

Ive been sitting here watching the race. How is everyone today?

 

[R Clarence]

.....damn, some of those drivers are really loose. Working those steering wheels.

That's a good thing.

Playing the long game

EDIT: fked up royally

 

[DSquad48]

Playing the long game

I didn't realize that the gasman basically missed the entire 2nd can until they showed the replay.

 

[racefan41]

took em enough tries to get that fuel in. more problems?

 

[ToyYoda]

The 78 crew is god awful.

The 78 team: JGR equipment with a BK Racing pit crew.

 

[DSquad48]

Chase will cycle through with like an 8 second lead

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I didn't realize that the gasman basically missed the entire 2nd can until they showed the replay.

Im surprised Knaus would hire Michael J. Fox as a gasman

 

[lisa]

Man, this just isn't Kurt's day.

 

[jws926]

Nice to see Kahne 2.0 having a good day so far

 

[RacerrecaR]

Glad I'm not the only one with a dark sense of humor here.

Consecutive green flag stops?

 

[Team Penske]

When do they start Racing?

 

[DSquad48]

NBC missed 42 passing 48. 48 way out of shape. Caution is out. Great time for a commercial

 

[racer8]

Yellow

 

[beantownkid10]

No clue what Keselowski's plan is....have to be trying to take just 2 tires on the last stop but that won't help if you are 40 seconds back/won't help even if there is a caution.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Yellow

for?

 

[Kiante]

Looks like the 15 team needs some Visine eye drops to see better.

Missed a lug nut.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

HI folks.

Ive been sitting here watching the race. How is everyone today?

Beats working.

 

[UpNorth]

Chase had a 8 second plus lead. Ouch

 

[DSquad48]

And just like that, the 48's day has turned to garbage. Tires were not going down.

Go Chase!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

NBC missed 42 passing 48. 48 way out of shape. Caution is out. Great time for a commercial

Idk if you go to football games but dont do leg day before an NBC televised game.

 

[RacerrecaR]

for?

Too many green flag stops in a race

 

[Professur]

7 minutes of commercials and we miss whatever caused a yellow. Dicks.

 

[beantownkid10]

Classic NASCAR formula. Long green runs. Pretty "boring" race.

So phantom debris caution right after TV cuts to commercial.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

for?

NASCAR.com says debris. NBC couldn't be bothered.

Sorry, TRL. end of rant.

 

[Brentford]

No talk of a crash. Must have been a "debris" caution.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Idk if you go to football games but dont do leg day before an NBC televised game.

What is 'leg day'?

 

[racer8]

for?

Not sure, just caught it on 78 radio

 

[ChexOrWrex]

On the plus side, #24 & #42 P1/P2

 

[RowdyBusch]

And there's the typical Brian France bogus yellow. But I'm just sitting here in my tinfoil hat, right?

 

[Kiante]

Larson and Elliott restart?
