Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

Jimmie doesn't have summer slumps, its summer testing sessions. The media fall for it every year.

Honestly I don't know how I feel about it. Everybody's season comes down to one singular event one way or another, doesn't have to be in the last event but sometimes it is.

But an idiot ambulance driver should not have the power to knock you out the final 10 races.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

They are really hyping up a required win for the 24. They could cruise from here and be fine. Just stay in front of the 1.

With Matt's night done unless Chase has a huge issue, he's in.

Yup

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

To be fair, theres more than 1 race in Matt's season. He's had 25 races to avoid this circumstance.

Sure. I agree. But tonight he had a car capable of winning and now has to sweat it out. If he makes it in, all is well. But either way it shouldn't have come down to it. But my post was what if this happened at Miami, there's nothing fair about a deal like that IMO

This is also a valid point made.

That's a cool avatar, never seen that picture before

Hey JG on the pit box with the new driver of the 24!

 

[bustedknee]

I just heard over the radio: Both the ambulance and the safety truck will be cucumbered. Each will receive $20,000 fines, lose 50 points and their crew chiefs are to be suspended for 2 races.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I want to see a non playoff team gamble on strategy here to get checkers. someone's that's educated in race strategy, what is a strategy they could do?

 

[jws926]

Nice, Kurt takes 2nd

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Ok, Ive been watching CFB all day. I can easily say the amount of commercials compared to those game is stupid. Theres hardly any of the race on TV in comparison.

That's why I love my DVR for NASCAR I started too early tonight, my gf wanted to see if Jr could win tonight so turned it on early. But if you don't like Smithfield, NASCAR Heat 2 or Sonic it's a rough go

The SiriusXM paint scheme makes me miss having SiriusXM

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

We need a caution for the 88, Where's Cory LaJoie

 

[DUN24]

Well now we know we will get a yellow once 2nd place catches up

 

[FLRacingFan]

Maybe we can add Kenseth as a 17th playoff participant if he doesn't make it.

Nope. Fan vote for the 17th spot, per Brian France

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Jr is screwing himself by staying out

Sat radio sound quality is awful

DAMMIT IVES!!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I'm really surprised they haven't thrown the yellow yet

 

[jws926]

Yes it is , but it doest stop me from enjoying the 90's On The 9.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Jr is going to be the caution if he's not careful

 

[DUN24]

Anyone know why the 24 is so far back? Even with the cycle he should be like 15th, no?

Just re-upped an old radio for 25 bucks for 5 months on their deal. You get NASCAR too. I got it for NFL season. I think it's good till the 13th if you have a dead radio.

Thanks for that info , I think we have one that would count

 

[lisa]

Man, what a night. Someone cheer me up.

 

[jaqua19]

Never..should a driver like Truex run like this. Don't care how good the car is. This shows what's wrong with the gen 6

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Im fairly certain Spotify has most of the siriusxm playlists on it.

I will look into that, thanks for the heads up

What was their pit time?

 

[Bob]

Look into it. I hope I didn't give you bad info but I thought they had the deal till the 13th. $1.25 a week is pretty good.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Here we go again. Truex, who has always been a good driver, finally gets a really good car for once in his career. Why is it so bad for someone to be successful I will never understand

 

[DUN24]

Your boy Larson is trying to get himself 5 points

What was their pit time?

13.38

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Well jeff gordon won 10+ races 3 seasons in a row 96, 97, & 98 without the gen 6.

This is no different with MTJ.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

13.38

Theres your answer.

 

[DSquad48]

NBC really jonesin for a yellow

 

[TexasRaceLady]

DAMMIT IVES!!

Ives isn't on the box.

 

[DUN24]

42 has gained .8 in the last 10 or so laps
