Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

Good racing.

Clint looks good. 48 has top 10 speed too, for the 4th or 5th week in a row. More bad luck and bad holes at the start of the race.

What happened to Byron?

I'd be thrilled if Clint pulls this one off

 

[FLRacingFan]

I'm behind, but if you didn't like Stage 2 I don't know what to tell you. 2-car battle for the lead, then 3, then 4. And the whole quartet finished within 2 seconds of each other after 90 laps under green.

 

[DewChaser988]

I am hoping for another LOL caution, like one of those inflatable Toyota letters where the backstretch grandstand used to be blowing onto the track like at Chicago in 2004

What happened to Byron?

Too fast entering, I think.

Speeding penalty for the 24. Sucks, was looking like a good night. Hope he can get back up there.

48’s a top 10 car...can’t be nailing the wall at lap 20 and expect results though

 

[Racer1930]

Wow...that was strange - Clintbert was only .17 seconds ahead and it looked like he was getting caught - then he stretched it out to a second and a half

 

[Kiante]

Truex is fast.

Bowyer might have some in reserve though.

 

[Racer1930]

LOL...Crew Chief telling a driver to slow down.

...yes, yes, I understand strategery

 

[Kiante]

Logano has faded, car looks loose as hell.

Luck balances out, if the speed is there results will come soon enough, might not be tonight though

 

[Kiante]

Kurt got the raw deal, that was bad timing.

 

[Racer1930]

Bad to worse for Bubba

 

[Kiante]

Bad to worse for Bubba

Been 15th to 20th all night, pretty solid IMHO for a mid-field gunner.

 

[BobbyFord]

I’d like to see a yellow to tighten things up now that pits are over.

 

[KTMLew01]

Oops, I'm just in time for the start of stage three.

Just remembered a few minutes ago that the race is tonight.

You have missed absolutely nothing.

 

[BobbyFord]

You have missed absolutely nothing.

He missed all the golf.

Yeah, but when you are in that zone you can't afford mistakes.

 

[jws926]

How would you know?, you were watching golf

 

[jaqua19]

I personally never liked these long runs. I find them boring. Caution please.

 

[Kiante]

Newman up to his usual antics.

No ***** given.

 

[DewChaser988]

Food for thought: We lose on average 30-40 minutes of televised race time to full screen commercials a week, according to CawsandJaws.com. That's absurd.

 

[Kiante]

There goes Clint.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Looks like Ricky's commitment issues extend from his personal life to the race track.

 

[Racer1930]

The Crank has been upped!

What? You're advocating for NASCAR to manipulate the race?

Didn't you stop watching last year because you thought stage cautions unjustly altered races?

They knocked the toe out. But he's had speed the last month. Fustrating he hasnt been able to get up there and get the lap back. On the stopwatch he's been as fast as everyone not in a fast ford tonight.

No Sunny D to give atm.

 

[Blaze]

Have I missed to much tonight? I'm not home so I did't see the start xD.

 

[KTMLew01]

Because i multitask?

I don’t say anything about NASCAR throwing a bogus caution.

 

[jws926]

I can buy that

 

[FLRacingFan]

It's generally been a good race. Caution-free outside of the stages but a good number of lead changes, and not those inflated lead change figures that count pit cycles and ****.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Is Ryan Blaney at the track today? Asking for a friend.

 

[DIDIT]

Can't believe the tire management by the teams tonight. They are on their game.

You.ve missed nothing. Race is on hold cause...BORING!

 

[Blaze]

Nice, hopefully it stays this good now that I'm here haha.

There was a sighting, but I cant confirm

 

[Kiante]

Once again, NASCAR fans don't know what they want.

Good racing field without the BS cautions, but now the races are boring because of long green flag runs.

Make up your mind, I could not be happier if the race goes on without a caution.

 

[FLRacingFan]

He knocked Bowman out of the way at some point...and that's about it.

Well damn, now I got two opinions on it. well, I'll judge the rest of it I suppose, what I miss I guess ain't important at this point.
