I'm properly whelmed by this race.

You get a turn, and you get a turn, everyone gets a turn to pass the leader

Harvick may have just lost it on pit road

Thanks Snappy, I was too lazy to get one myself

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I like that move by the #42 team to come first. Looking for that to pay off.

 

[ReturnTrip]

I admit, this race is growing on me. Not what I prefer but better than it started.

stop it

Under or over?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Kevin’s gonna lose six spots in the pits

'S okay, he's used to it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Johnson even having a sniff of the top 10 after his day....let’s not put him behind the shed and shoot his career dead just yet.

 

[machinistman3]

Under or over?

He said properly.

 

[Kiante]

Under or over?

Neutral.

Its been okay, but I'll say this pit strategy is interesting.

 

[HoneyBadger]

FS1 finally turns off the pylon when they're in split screen.

Only took them two years.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

'S okay, he's used to it.

He’s not used to not losing spots on pit road at this point

 

[Kiante]

Who called Keselowski playing the long game on fuel?

Good call whomever did, I think it was @ChexOrWrex

 

[FearThe4]

another stupid pit call by the #4 crew ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so sick of these guys.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Neutral.

With you there, interesting to see two tires, four, none and fuel trends.

 

[jaqua19]

18 is within a second of the 22. And where is the 4?


4 team blew it

Do tires even mean anything? Why take four tires under green with 25 laps to go?

 

[HoneyBadger]

Harvick's team can't do anything right this year.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

DW says might as well take 4 since you have to fill the tank. 25 to go and you don't need a full tank; almost everyone takes two.

Not with these hockey pucks. It doesn't mean much IMO.

I’ve wondered this as well, I’m not hearing the drivers moan about tire wear here like they used to do in the past at this joint (DW-ism)

 

[FearThe4]

I wish Nascar could find a way to elimate pit stops doing races

 

[machinistman3]

Need a caution.

No idea what these guys are even doing this year. Can't say it bothers me anymore though, it being a weekly thing with this #4 team.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Love that Hendrick Auto Guard Scheme on the 24. Reminds of Jeff’s old Pepsi schemes.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Joey's got this

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Shaping up to a anti climactic finish to a fairly poor race.

 

[gnomesayin]

This is worse than the 2015 high downforce experiment here that was almost universally considered a disaster.

I can't believe the #4 thought they were going to make up that much time and spots with four tires. Maybe just a shot in the dark since they knew they weren't going to pass the #22 anyway.

 

[Truex_rox]

The display of follow-the-leader that has been going on today is grotesque. I mean, gosh. Let's have something happen. Lol.

"These guys have no respect in pit strategy, that's why I'm leaving SHR this year." - Harvick

Hope he’s taking Rodney with him wherever he goes.

 

[jws926]

Will we get a bunch of the field for a restart caution?, what says you?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well, it beats watching soccer.

 

[FLRacingFan]

So much for the parity package lol. Another win from either Penske or JGR.

 

[Truex_rox]

"These guys have no respect in pit strategy, that's why I'm leaving SHR this year." - Harvick

He said that??

 

[HoneyBadger]

How can the 22 car be this far superior to the rest of the field?

 

[SlicedBread22]

If Joey wins this it will probably be the best run race of his career.. as a whole

Yeah, but peep the intervals!

Paraharasing from 2013 M'Ville when he and Ty Dillon got into it.
