Cup RACE thread --- Pocono, Rd. 1

Jr. tore up another engine. Sonofabitch.

Not sure what's up this weekend, but did the exact same thing in practice.
 
What the f*** jr you've got to be kidding me

I'm not being sensitive to it, I'm laughing because its his first start and after 40 laps you want to put a nail in the coffin on the guy.

I agree, there are some instances where he should have shown more, but I think this year and how close he's been to winning in Xfinity reinforces my idea of his talent. He's shown it especially this season and its unfortunate he's run out of money. I'm rooting for him because we have seen the talent in him winning, but to have this opportunity is great.

This gives us a chance if he's ready or not.

I feel you. But it isn't a knock against him. It's just hyperbole, theatrics and dry humor in an open forum, that's all I see it as, just a bit of fun. You honestly think that I, or others here are legitimately putting a nail in his future cup career? Come on, no way.

As I said, I havent seen it from him yet, so I am not surprised he had issues in the first round. That's all I think. Everything else is just some hyperbolic fun. Not really worthy of scrutiny in my opinion
 
Holy heck that was exactly like the mis-shift in practice.
 
21 is up about 10 spots since the restart. Elliott up to 3rd.
 
I was gonna post earlier "Don't let Junior shift"....but I didn't want to be rude to 88 fans.
 
Damn, sucks big time for jr. You can tell how bummed he is.
 
All you folks who said it was gonna get hotter at Pocono this weekend win the internets.
 
But those cars already pitted Mike Joy? They were running in the top 10, and now have fresher tires than the leader.

Man, I'd defend Fox through my teeth but I'm starting to get all the complaints

could be a "Does Jr Care Anymore" thread in the works.:)

I really think he cares - otherwise he could have just cruised without shifting and probably got a reasonable finish. Heck, I've got a 6-speed forward gearbox on my Honda Fit and I hit the wrong one all the time - of course I'm not going 200mph ;)
 
Junior has trouble finding pit boxes and gears. I really had high hopes for him this year.

Back to the short track....

It sounded like Junior is not 100% :(

It was crossing my mind during his tv interview that a couple wires may be
touching in his head that shouldn't be. He has done well at this
track over the years.

He's not what he was.

Just get thru the year without gettin' hurt.

You may be right - I don't think much of the "retiring at the end of the season" announcement thing - especially in a dangerous sport. Danica said in an interview that she has been lucky in the "big ones" but she knows that the luck may not hold out forever.

Yeah, he won both races there just three years ago. Something definitely seems off with him.

I wouldn't blame him for being a little spooked after the big wreck last weekend. I have a close friend who lost both his Mom and Dad when they were 50 years old. He said the scared-est he ever was health-wise was when he was 49 - and he's a pretty tough guy.
 
Blaney defo lost a lap. Mike Joy doesn't care anymore.
 
Jamac, you are on fire
