Cup RACE thread --- Pocono, Rd. 2

[AdoubleU24]

This race is already short enough and we're just driving around in the damn rain!

 

[Michfan]

That looked like pretty hard rain

 

[Kiante]

Rain in 2?

Its a small rain cloud. NASCAR is just waiting it out to see if it gets any worse or not.

Trying not to bring the cars back down pit road.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pouring in turn 3

 

[Spotter22]

There are some really fast turns in Le Mans.

You are talking about a totally different car. Even so, its not close to 200, 180, 170 etc

That’s fine. Just don’t count the laps. Oh well.

I really don't care right now, I just want to finish this race out.

Anything to not have to move it to tomorrow.

Jimmie says frontstretch is lost.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Not to harp on the start times but as someone who would have been there today this weekend's weather (pocono history in general) should result in some changes for the anticipated redux in 2021. Do a late morning start for the trucks/xfinity and then get the cup races going by 230. I love being at the track but today would have been a true test of fan stamina.....

Human sacrifice was at noon but our afternoon koolaid drinking session still has room for 1 more.

I’m sorry I missed it.

I guess I’m not ready to make the leap.

 

[Kiante]

I want the frontstretch to be lost.

 

[jws926]

Damn, that was a hard hit

Jimmie said the frontstretch is lost and Denny said the track still needs work, especially 2.

NASCAR said **** it make it stick.

Second big driver's side hit today.

You got your wish to get it going, no?

It is what it is at this point.

 

[JJ_14]

That was a hard hit.

What a shame. That's a beatiful paint scheme too.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chase took the blame for the hit earlier.

 

[Efisher131]

So is there gonna be the same hate that Hamlin got for doing the same thing to Larson at Cali?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I’m not wishing anything, just reported what some drivers saw. Glad we are green.

Gripe when they stop, gritch when they go....

I missed the replay, what exactly happened?

 

[Joker]

Anyone but Michael involved?

9 car gave him some help.

My Pocono experience tells me it should be fine. It's been in direct sunlight and they pavement looks light colored. I can't see it being a problem so long as the entrance into 1 is safe. I've seen moisture/weepers near the pit wall on a day where it never rained....

 

[donthaveanickname]

9 got into him on the frontstretch, then McDowell lost it in turn 2

 

[Switchback]

4 car is flying

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Matt D had a fast car yesterday but got mired back on a pit stop call. Redemption tour today.

 

[BobbyFord]

Joey be mowin’

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Anybody noticed Davison's name hasn't been mentioned, yesterday or today so far? That's a good thing.

 

[2 Sweet]

Thank God they got this thing going. Fingers crossed we will get the whole race in before dark!

 

[jaqua19]

No Mike Joy, 48 didn't lose that spot to Kenseth..he didn't have that spot.

I like Mike Joy but he does this every race. Does he watch what's going on out there?

The fact they haven't announced a shortened distance intrigues me. Given how important fuel mileage/strategy is I'm surprised there hasn't been confirmation from NASCAR.

They aren’t at the track and are watching the same broadcast we are. Simmer.

 

[Kiante]

Harvick looks like he's got the best piece again.

 

[2 Sweet]

Go Buescher!

 

[BobbyFord]

18 looks good

 

[DUN24]

9 car was going to pit for position but Alan told him to come too late. Lol

Even when they are at the track, they spend most of the time watching the monitors.

It’s a wonder Alan ever won here with Jeff with this being a strategy heavy track.
