STAY GREEN PLEASE

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Green flag stops and some tempers! sweet!!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

The Penske boys need a cooling off period and a few adjustments during the next pit stops, they’ve fallen off a tad.

 

[DewChaser988]

Watch out for Bowyer, he'll probably spin himself out again

 

[Kiante]

Kyle Busch lost a spot.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Sounds like Logano needs to eat a snickers.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Getting down to the nitty gritty now.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

When isn’t MTJ not frustrated with traffic?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Almirola and Suarez...facepalm.

 

[Kiante]

Almirola and Suarez...facepalm.

Yuck-a-Cuck.

I’m telling ya, Dillon in the 3 has had a pretty good last month. Top 10 again. I need RCR to run well again.

Only if it’s Hemric. NOT Dillon. I just can’t...

 

[Madman88]

i think if Bowman would have won that phoenix race he dominated he would have been a constant force to win, pivotal point in his career and not in a good way

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Looking like another Richmond race where a Truex leads the most laps and loses

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Sounds like Logano needs to eat a snickers.

Truex then Logano... I guess once you win a title then the only place you go from there is full on diva.

 

[FLRacingFan]

"...Truex has never won on a short track..."

*drink*

 

[Kiante]

Ives once again working his magic for Bowman, lost 6 spots and a freaking lap.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

That’s crazy Jimmie is running Boston. Like absolutely nutty.

They need some new brain power in that organization. Too much of the same people doing the same thing.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Eh I feel ya. I’m a fan of RCR, the heritage/history of the 3 and Hemeric as well . So it’s cool they’ve been running well IMO

 

[ToyYoda]

That Sam Bass car is pretty sweet. I don’t buy much die-cast but I might buy one of those if they’re available.

Jr’s Last 3 years with Ives were as frustrating as the McGrew years. I’m surprised he still has a job

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Would this be MTJ’s first short track win if he won tonight?? At his home track?

 

[Madman88]

holy crap, stands look empty

He won a few in 15 with him but I thought legit Jr had a sho in 16 to be a contender for the championship until his concussions and they weren’t running as well as the year before and not even close to 14, seems like they just couldn’t get better during the races.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Newman is giving that #6 a ride, week-in and week-out, that it probably hasn't gotten since '06.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

holy crap, stands look empty

Looks better than last week, but Richmond only seats what, 60k?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Richmond is technically a short track, but on TV, it doesn't seem like a short track.

 

[2 Sweet]

Go Bowyer, I guess. This current top 8 isn't doing it for me

Wasn’t that still Letarte?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Seemed like a good crowd to me.

 

[Madman88]

that's exactly the thought process i had

 

[Kiante]

15-17 was with Ives.

51k is what's listed in their annual report.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

No Letarte left in 14 I believe for NBC in 15.... that was pretty much the last year Jr had a shot at a Cup, because then he got Ives’d.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Go Bowyer, I guess. This current top 8 isn't doing it for me

Ditto. Anyone but Truex/JGR

 

[Madman88]

id be cool to see a kellogs car back in track, i miss the rooster on the hood

Two of those wins were with Letrate’s plate car and another was a rain-shortened one. Awful strategy time and time again.

 

[Thegeneral23]

Anybody but TRUEX PLEASE!!

How far behind Truex is Bowyer? The fireworks wholesaler outside Charlotte called and needs to know if he has to stay open late.

Dang, so there’s maybe 30k there. Oh well, there’s a thread for that.
