Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

how did he go from 32nd to top 5 in like 50 laps?

 

[BobbyFord]

Three in a row is pretty cool.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chase finishes 2nd again...goddamnit..

Also, thanks FOX for cutting away from 4 wide racing to the checkers to show the driver’s wife. FFS..

Chase drove a 10th place car to a 2nd place finish.

 

[LJ7201]

About as happy as I've ever been with 6th

Sure cautions helped him, but if anyone in the field had anything to beat him, they'd have won instead. Kyle won fair as he could've.

 

[DSquad48]

P2 feels like a ******* win. I’ll take it. No shame.

Yes, this isn’t one of those 2nds where chase should have won. Damn good finish considering how he ran 90% of the race

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hoping Chase does not get penalized after this one.

LOL

Big right foot

 

[DewChaser988]

Kyle won fair and square however, but I doubt he will next week

 

[Thegeneral23]

I’m just going to sit back and listen to all the excuses now lol

 

[Michfan]

Kyle's the driver Chase wishes he was...

*ducks head*

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Kyle maybe best short track racer on the circuit now. Unfortunately for him next week’s race is not at a real race track.

The track is awesome. Restrictor plates are not.

 

[jaqua19]

THE GOAT!!! Just like I said !! Let’s go 18 let all the hate come even more

Best ever!

I like Kyle a lot personally...it's his reactionary fans that make it easy to route against him

 

[JBone88]

Chase drove a 10th place car to a 2nd place finish.

They should be proud. He’s driving his butt off. Still, as Busch would say, 2nd sucks..

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

THE GOAT!!! Just like I said !! Let’s go 18 let all the hate come even more

Never call him the GOAT Again. Call me when he wins a legit championship. These guys are goats.

 

[jaqua19]

GOAT wins again

You are brilliant

 

[Kiante]

He did the damn thing tonight though, you cannot argue that.

Great car and a great driver usually gets a lot of wins. You have to thing he was on the verge of winning so often earlier in the year, things eventually come through.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

The track is awesome. Restrictor plates are not.

I was playing off a quote from what he said last year, Talladega is one of my favorites. A man’s track.

 

[DIDIT]

Hate to see NASCAR basically give KDB the win two weeks in a row. Old school racing he never would have won.

Your right they are goats!!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Kyle's the best racer on the circuit right now, by a country mile. Only thing saving this season is that Truex's team and Harvick's team are faster on the 1.5-mile tracks, and even then, Kyle's finding ways to win those races.

 

[Kiante]

Prost > Senna tho.

 

[lisa]

Kurt in 11th. ARGHHH

 

[ChexOrWrex]

2nd is the first loser and every driver knows that. Considering how Chase has run, a P2 is fantastic momentum.

Ignore him, it's like fans of the Hulk. Takes away from the appreciation Kyle deserves

I know man. Just really want that win.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Prost > Senna tho.

I think the other way, but Prost is massively underrated. Dude could have won a couple more titles if his Renault’s weren’t unreliable pieces of junk

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I wonder if Kyle can get double digit wins. Looking like it to me.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Hate to see NASCAR basically give KDB the win two weeks in a row. Old school racing he never would have won.

So it's NASCAR's fault Kyle Busch is so much better at restarts than everyone else? It's NASCAR's fault he can get ungodly restarts because he has more car control than everyone else. It's NASCAR's fault they throw cautions for legitimate crashes? It's NASCAR's fault Kyle Busch, who may be the greatest driver in the history of stock car racing, is better than he's ever been?

Okay.

Give JJ the car and the track position and a short enough run and I'll take him over everyone. Went from 13th, to 6th in two restarts. Jimmie still can wheel it as good as anyone, and did this win from the back as a 40 year old quite a few times.

 

[LJ7201]

Kyle is no doubt the greatest of this era so far

That's assuming the JJ era is over but I'm not sure how that's measured or whatever

 

[Kiante]

I think 2008 he won eight times?

He can do it if he keeps this up, it would be funny to fluff up in the final four tho.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I know man. Just really want that win.

For sure. Although as Chase said, they finished P2 but they still have a long way to go to find more speed.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I'll take Kyle Busch. Especially if there's a late race restart.

 

[harkin]

Props to Kyle for the last two flawless restarts.

 

[Racer1930]

Look at the size of those teeth on the Gal behind Kyle - wow

 

[BobbyFord]

Nice VL interview

 

[JBone88]

For sure. Although as Chase said, they finished P2 but they still have a long way to go to find more speed.

Yep. All of HMS does. The fact everyone’s popping champagne over a JJ 6th place finish shows how far behind they are.

 

[jaqua19]

I'd agree. It's odd to put Kyle in an era, he's part of the Tony Stewart Kevin Harvick era really. He's been around forever. He's multigenerational
