Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

[DSquad48]

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

This is no different with MTJ.

Do you really think that MTJ is a Gordon-caliber driver and has just been hiding it for the past 10 years?

 

[DUN24]

Theres your answer.

That's only like a second slow.

 

[SeventyGTX]

NBC really jonesin for a yellow

Me too..........it's the only way the 78 will lose this.

 

[Blaze]

Do you really think that MTJ is a Gordon-caliber driver

He's running really great this year for a reason.

 

[jws926]

Ives isn't on the box.

He's cucumbered right ?

 

[DUN24]

Me too..........it's the only way the 78 will lose this.

Larson is closing, rapidly.


Edit: just as I say that, he loses half a second

 

[DSquad48]

He's running really great this year for a reason.

And he's run the last 10 seasons like **** for a reason too lol

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Ives isn't on the box.

Thats my point.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lol this again.

Yeah, Truex was the second coming of David Pearson all along. He just needed the equipment and right crew chief.

 

[Blaze]

And he's run the last 10 seasons like sh!t for a reason too lol

He didn't do so bad last season either. Sometimes a crappy car is the reason. Do you think Johnson would have ran as good in some of the cars MTJ had been in so far in his career?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This race is so lame they hafta show last week's stage 1 finish.

Pfft lol

 

[DUN24]

Larson's tires are gonzo. We need a caution.

 

[lisa]

I really wish they'd shut up. Allen is ok but the other two need to zip the lip.

Johnson would be nowhere without Knaus & Truex would still be a midpacker without Pearn.

 

[Brentford]

We might as well give the championship to Truex. He has destroyed the competition all year.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Gordon, like Johnson started their careers in top shelf equipment. Truex........not so much.

 

[Thegeneral23]

This race is so lame they hafta show last week's stage 1 finish.

Pfft lol

Thought the race been pretty good.. why is it lame ?

 

[racefan41]

c'mon ya stupid caution

 

[aunty dive]

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

It shows what a great team can do.

It's happened many times before.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

And he's run the last 10 seasons like sh!t for a reason too lol

Doesn't help he was with a Dying-DEI and then a MWR car that really didn't start running good until h9s last season there, where he got screwed over. Besides 2014, He has been great with FRR. Been running great for the past 3 years, not just this year and last

 

[DUN24]

@ChexOrWrex I guess it did just need to finish the equalization 24 is a spot ahead of JMac in 13th.

 

[Blaze]

And if not it doesn't make him a bad driver. You just gotta have the right car, team, etc.

Johnson would be nowhere without Knaus & Truex would still be a midpacker without Pearn.

Which imo doesn't make either a bad driver. A good driver still needs good people around them and a good car as well.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

He didn't do so bad last season either. Sometimes a crappy car is the reason. Do you think Johnson would have ran as good in some of the cars MTJ had been in so far in his career?

He was in the final 4 in 2015 too. He's had 3 good years, I'll just leave it at that. I'd take other drivers before him

 

[DUN24]

The race isn't over yet and we are bitching like KyBu is smoking the Xfinity field again.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Do you really think that MTJ is a Gordon-caliber driver and has just been hiding it for the past 10 years?

Hell no.

Theres just always 1 to 3 teams a season that are to be in position to win every week. This year MTJ is in that basket with Larson & Busch.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

58 playoff points? He's a lock for Miami right?

 

[jaqua19]

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

This is no different with MTJ.

The difference is Jeff Gordon was an elite driver and did it with different crew chiefs later in his career. Truex is not THAT good. Totally different.

 

[DUN24]

Larson goes "a caution would be cool"

Lmao yeah.

 

[DUN24]

58 playoff points? He's a lock for Miami right?

Unless he has two catastrophic failures out of 3 weeks.

 

[jws926]

Matt is still 88 to the good, looks like he is going to make in the final 10, gonna laff my rear end off he has left the track already and wont be there to partake in the all the final 10 driver's photo's

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hell no.

Theres just always 1 to 3 teams a season that are to be in position to win every week. This year MTJ is in that basket with Larson & Busch.

Yea FRR has been locked in. Nothing wrong with that, just the way it is. I will be amused though if they choke it away the next 10 weeks

 

[jaqua19]

NBC really jonesin for a yellow

Me too. If Truex wins the title (he won't imo, as likey the other 3 will be better drivers), im putting an asterick next to it lol

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Unless he has two catastrophic failures out of 3 weeks.

The playoff points carry over each round and you can accumulate more playoff points right?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Y'all remember those years when JPM, David Reutimann, and Clint Bowyer outperformed Empty Jay in the same equipment?

 

[DSquad48]

LOOOOOOOL

NASCAR shenanigans coming in clutch

 

[jws926]

Of course , there it is the entertainment caution

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Ha ha oh boy. Truex luck strikes again.

 

[DUN24]

The playoff points carry over each round and you can accumulate more playoff points right?

Unless he gets eliminated?

 

[jaqua19]

Bahaha thank freakin god
