damn this racing

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Chase in the mix

 

[donthaveanickname]

JJ's back on track.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

This is nervous time for me. And I don't even have a dog in this hunt.

 

[Kiante]

After 15 laps or more in a run the HMS cars go into another league pace wise.

 

[jws926]

And another real caution

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Chase to second...... damn car in the wall

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Legit caution for sure!

 

[RowdyBusch]

If anyone is dumbfounded as to why ratings are plummeting, this is a primary reason.

Best racing all day upfront & TV broadcast is at advertisements. Sponsor obligations > racing

There's a laundry list of reasons why the TV ratings are in the dumpster, and that's surely one of them.

If I was a 48 fan I'd have shut my TV off in disgust when the water bottle caution/pit road penalty thing went down.

 

[Acs]

pressure pit stop coming.

 

[Flyer22]

And here comes the money stop of the year for everybody

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Truex crunched up pretty good

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Alex has been running the race of his life so far

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Come on Chase have a stellar pit stop

 

[Flyer22]

How could they not show the order in which the guys came off pit road

 

[Acs]

and the NBC production crew absolutely botched the most crucial part of the entire chase. No race off pit road, no pit stop times, no mention of who stays out... absolute crap. Do helton and hoots just not tell the broadcast teams when **** is coming?

 

[cheesepuffs]

Newman is definitely bonehead of the race.

 

[Acs]

does anyone have any idea what the heck just happened? no? thanks NBC.

I don't get why people like NBC over Fox. DW is getting old to listen to, but Fox has way better coverage overall.

 

[Kiante]

We shall see if Bowman has really got it.

Be a good test for him right here.

 

[DUN24]

This oughta be interesting.

 

[Flyer22]

The issue for the 11 won't be his gas it's going to be the tires

 

[gnomesayin]

I think the #11 team was really reaching there, too early for that crazy gamble when there are still probably more cautions to come.

 

[Acs]

oh and your graphic is straight wrong, kurt and Matt took 2 but we had no idea because of ****** coverage.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kurt just saved the fk outta that piece

 

[be9ak7ts16]

HeyZues, debris again?

 

[Acs]

now watch, the NBC will be on top of this pit cycle just because they know it's coming.

 

[RowdyBusch]

Oh come on...

 

[Kiante]

Really?

 

[Flyer22]

My nerves are shot and are still 40 laps to go

 

[donthaveanickname]

Another debris caution.
It starts to get annoying.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

A piece of rubber out of the racing groove. Oh, the horror.

 

[jws926]

I cant wait for the season to be over, I am so tired of the Coke Cola ads

 

[RowdyBusch]

This debris caution took 3 laps, the previous for water bottles took 10. What gives?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

LOL

is NBC not gonna comment on how chase just went 7 wide by himself? Ok

 

[racefan41]

c'mon Joey, you remember Martinsville

 

[Kiante]

Cmon Alex!

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Anybody know if @lisa has any fingernails left?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Anybody know if @lisa has any fingernails left?

I don't know about lisa, but I'm pacing the floor.

 

[Acs]

come on Joey you can hold it for 27 more laps...
