Cup RACE thread --- Pocono, Rd. 1

Finally get to watch now, a transformer by my house blew right before the race started and just got my power back.

Autobot or Decepticon?

Autobot, duh.

I think having awkward moments is part of being a NASCAR announcer lol

Seemed like everybody here hated DW but I miss him.

It scared the sh!t outta me whatever it was.

#10 car is on a good strategy today. Would be nice to see somebody besides the #4 get the W at SHR for a change.

Hope you had on brown pants.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I wish one day when a stage ends they keep on going instead of bringing out the caution. A man can dream

Chase thinks he hurt the transmission for sure. Looks like they’ll need to start in rear because this engine won’t last. Now it’s popping out of 4th gear...

They’ll put out stage point rings that they have to drive through before coming up with some common sense answer like this.

I love that Jeff Gordon is an announcer.

He’s still just feeling his way but I agree; he gets his point across based on massive experience in a clear and concise manner. He could be as great a booth man as he was a driver.

I feel DW got old. He was pretty out of touch and a bit too old school for today's sport of moving forward.

Larry Mac I miss though. He's super smart and is *with it*.

The kind you throw in the garbage instead of the washing machine.

Nah. It was a racing thing man. Jones checked up and Tyler had a lot of speed. It happens.

yeah Jones came down a little and Reddick plowed him, both of them were racing hard. I don't think they like each other much either.

Most importantly he has modern experience.

I just said this to 10-4, but I wish Larry Mac was still in the booth. I feel he and Jeff would be great together.

That's why I appreciate Jr. getting in a race or two annually. It keeps him up to date. Even Burton at least gets some laps.

 

[StandOnIt]

eh, what I like the most is that they aren't trying to out shout each other..that goes a long way in my book.

Unfortunately the NBC Jabberthon is almost upon us.

How could anyone hate DW?

To be honest I never thought he brought much more than enthusiasm but it was worth him being in there sometimes because of his rare nuggets.

Like the story he told about his first time at Daytona, pulling back in the pits and asking his crew if they had the right guy (he was scared to go high on the embankment).

Helps that there is only 2 of them. No idea what NBC was thinking with the 5 man auctioneer booth.

Yeah I like Larry Mac he's the smartest one of the whole lot Fox or NBC.

Enjoy it while it lasts because NBC is around the corner.

Rick freaking Allen.

Worst thing to ever happen to NASCAR.

His enthusiasm was hard to beat. How many years removed from a race car was he but he still had a passion for the sport? And he had some good stories too. No, he wasn't exactly relevant to the modern cars but that doesnt mean he didn't bring something to the table imo.

Can't wait!

*I like NBC's coverage in terms of actual coverage not the jabberthon

The NBC broadcasts remind me of one of those political shows where you have 5 people all trying to talk over one another.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larry Mac has done a lot to add to the credibility of the announcing team

 

[10-4]

Look at the #4 go to the 2 spot!!

 

[Kiante]

Harvick is waking up.

Thank COVID or Fox would still have an infield full of jabberers.

 

[StandOnIt]

oh oh Harvick shows up

 

[10-4]

@Joker welp, I'm kinda torn on this one

 

[jaqua19]

Lol Jimmie is getting ****.

McDowell has been fantastic today.

 

[jaqua19]

9 drove away from the 48 after exiting the corner nose to tail even. Jimmie has been getting **** cars lately.

As Harry Hogge would say, "that's one too many roosters in the hen house "

 

[StandOnIt]

SHR 1 and 2 in the house

 

[2 Sweet]

Bowman the only Chevrolet in the top 10. Ughhh

 

[JJ_14]

Harvick has the experience, but Almirola is hungry. Who will triumph?

 

[Kiante]

No lie, they all have looked down on power today.

 

[ToyYoda]

Front Row seems to be getting their stuff together lately. We talk a lot about JHN, but McDowell is just one spot behind him in points, will probably move ahead of him today.
