Cup RACE thread --- Nashville

[TexasRaceLady]

I sure hope that it is not a fiasco at the start like the Xfinity race. Please let the drivers have their brains in working order.

 

[LibertyU24]

I know, I hope the sunset comes quick..

 

[HoneyBadger]

No pre race show

 

[Spotter22]

Checking in. Looking forward to a great race tonight. I dont think we will see anything like the calamity yesterday for 2 reasons. more grip from the low profile tires and better drivers. I'm not promising that we wont have some fireworks in the final stage though.

No pre race show

And people are getting pissed about too, which is funny, they complained about all the pre race FOX Sports did this year.

FYI, there is no pre race show schduled for Chicago either, but there will be about 20-ish minutes of pre race though if the green flag isnt moved up like tonight.

 

[StandOnIt]

It's all about "camera angles"

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Love the broadcast coming on and they are already on pace laps.

Go 6, 19, 9 and 5 !!!

Green flag , welcome back our NBC overlords

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Who went from 0 to 180 faster, Ross Chastain or Jeff Burton?

 

[StandOnIt]

Gerbils in full song

5 is junk, again. No grip on exit getting passed every turn.

Long race, lots of track evolution on concrete, weather transition into night as well.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

The gerbiling hit maximum the second the green dropped.

He needs to tested for using the 108 Octphetamine racing gas

I might try to watch the racing in slow motion in order to get the gerbil voice speed in sync.

We might be lucky that Harrison isn't a particularly good Cup driver. Could you imagine Jeff if Harrison were regularly competing for wins?

 

[StandOnIt]

They're shifting. That should upset somebody.

Audio sounds great but wish coverage didn't start with green immediately.

Start time was moved up because of the probability of rain.

Relax. Cliff will fix it. My guy won’t.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What's the purpose of having gerbils in turn one? Did Rick kick them out of the booth?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

This might be strange, but I'd like to hear the gerbils a little better --- don't get me wrong, I love the sound of the engines, but it's rather overwhelming.

I found him incredibly professional when he was winning Xfinity races, but that’s just my opinion.

 

[antman12]

Holy hell. Them being trackside is soooo dumb and pointless. Get dale in the booth the Jeff the f*** up outta here.

 

[*WEAVER*]

Somebody should tell them this isn't a roadcourse..

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I’m failing to see the point of them on pit road. They are doing the same thing they do in the booth but only now you can’t hear them

 

[StandOnIt]

Boy, the gerbils popping out of whatever hole they are in to give us that all important info from turn one is a real winner. WHAT DID THEY SAY???

 

[StandOnIt]

Carl Edwards needs to be in the booth

Health department mandated the split. There was big concerns they all might squirt at the same exact time in the same room during a big event.

 

[hmmm298]

I know Carl did some sailing. I wonder if he saw the Titanic.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I know it’s cool to make gerbil jokes, and they’re applicable, but I’m so much happier with this than Clint Bowyer’s “hoooooo boy they got these thangs wound up and hotter than a filet on the flat top grill with a side of moonshine boys! Wooooo! That leader is happier than a dog with three ****s at a puppy mill yall!” schtick. The gerbils are at least talking about the race without pandering to redneckdom.

Jeff Burton is incredibly professional at all times.

He’s not my favorite commentator but I do like Jeff and Kim a lot. First class people.

Ironically he’s the only driver I met at an appearance that was kind of a di** to me. Way different than Bill Elliott treated me. His brother was a true gentleman when I met him.

That happens often when you don't have a personality

 

[HoneyBadger]

I liked the no pre race but I get the frustration with them keeping Nightly News on, especially when they have MSNBC AND News Now.

 

[Greg]

Great to see the real competition kind of first round green flag stops.

 

[jws926]

New leader

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Nice use of Gragson as a pick by Reddick.

 

[LJ7201]

Way to set the tone Noah
