Cup RACE thread --- Open and All-Star

That's very fair.

And yes, you are correct, look no further than our boy Stan as far as the bandwagon jumpers are concerned. But then you also have guys like Andy who ignore context and think the manufacturer is the only factor

Hey Bud, can't help it that Kyle came over to the right side. I don't believe I heard any boos in driver intros tonight. Hmmm.

People always warm up to veterans over time, but the switch in attitudes toward Kyle Busch was instantaneous. To the point that antics like tonight are celebrated from people who booed him every year from 2018-2022.

Uh oh tires not falling off yet Fox

 

[LibertyU24]

I loved RCR when I was younger, can't stand them now.

I cant stand the wine

 

[Speedbowl14]

Uh oh tires not falling off yet Fox

Ive never heard more about tires in decades of being a fan

 

[HoneyBadger]

Don’t these top five drivers have to put the rock tires on?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Uh oh tires not falling off yet Fox

The only part of the tires that has different compounds is the colored letters.

 

[StandOnIt]

Ironic as hell that the guy who said hold my watch picked up Kyle after he got a raw deal from sold out Joe.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Joey’s not gonna be shy discarding Bubba here

 

[Brentford]

Been watching weather coverage due to us being hammered by winds. Just turned back to the race to see Byron in the pits. Sounds about right. Hard to believe he’s won three races. Outside of that, he hasn’t been super competitive.

 

[Kiante]

Goodness Bubba.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

RFK looking good again tonight.

 

[Speedbowl14]

And they can't even pass the lap cars....

 

[HoneyBadger]

I love Bubba Wallace man. He can be a douche for sure, but he gives it 110 percent every week.

 

[Naitch]

This would be a damn good race for the lead.

 

[BobbyFord]

Joey never had a problem running someone over

 

[Kiante]

I love Bubba Wallace man. He can be a douche for sure, but he gives it 110 percent every week.

Never been an issue anytime I've met him.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Grade A tires. Super job by Goodyear

 

[HoneyBadger]

Never been an issue anytime I've met him.

I’m referring to on track incidents. He’s always been cordial anytime I’ve met him.

 

[Naitch]

I think I'll buy Goodyears for my next set of tires. They have no fall off so they should last a good while.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good for Bubba staying on the lead lap.

 

[BobbyFord]

Denny Time, coming up…

Too bad their street tires don’t hold up like this.

Just like every GM vehicle I’ve ever owned hasn’t held up like they do in NASCAR.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I thought they had to run both tire compounds.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It is probably decently cool enough and track temps low enough that it’s helped the softs last as long as they have so far.

 

[DIDIT]

This tire strategy is reviting....not yet anyhow.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Rare photo of tonight's soft tires in development at Goodyear...

 

[Reck]

Number one box is worth two. Clint got bars!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I thought they had to run both tire compounds.

No, just had to start on softs and put on tires at halfway. Didn’t matter which ones they put on.

 

[HoneyBadger]

You’ll be disappointed.

 

[BobbyFord]

So…no difference between the soft and hard compounds

 

[Naitch]

Keystone's continued denial that they're just piss flavored beer for college kids is pretty hilarious.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

 

[DIDIT]

I thought they had to run both tire compounds.

O don't think so...that was the broadcast team assuming everyone would change.

 

[HoneyBadger]

No, just had to start on softs and put on tires at halfway. Didn’t matter which ones they put on.

What the ****?

 

[2 Sweet]

Haven't done one of these in a while.....

Cheers, everyone

 

[ToyYoda]

C’mon C Bell.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Fox is zoomed in so tight they missed Hamlin getting to their inside to start with.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I thought they were gonna wreck. I still think they’re going to wreck

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Oopsie for Gibbs.
