[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Been a pretty good race so far

 

[Kiante]

I was stuck at a restaurant watching with no sound and just got home. What happened? (I know Larson walled another after cutting tire, but what was said?)

Basically saying that Larson is making his own luck. Not qualifying and racing as well as Kurt. Kyle needs to up his game.

He has. Looks like Stockman was the guy needed to help him out. The package change as well, but he's been impressive.

Hendrick getting beaten by Childress and Ganassi. Again. Hell, they are getting beat by a JTG Daugherty car too.

Idk what the problem is, but this mediocre **** has gotta stop.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

G'night, y'all. I'll record the rest of this.

Don't worry so much. With this points system, points don't matter. All that their drivers need is a win to make the playoffs and anything can happen during the final 10 races.

They’re starting to look a little Roushy.

I think the package is the biggest thing. RCR was one of the biggest champions of this crap rule package because it addressed their deficiencies.

Its not THAT bad.

Passing is harder with the increased aero, I can imagine getting mared in the field and it makes passing a chore.

 

[FLRacingFan]

THIS.

IS.

#1 TRUSTED BRAND.

 

[ToyYoda]

Its not THAT bad.

Yet.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Menard has been solidly in the top ten all night

 

[Madman88]

i bought energizer batteries today with those damn ads in in mind. cant stand them ads and will support their competitor to show my disdain for them

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Hard hit for McDowell.

 

[jws926]

Damn

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Jerry Nadeau's wreck 16 years later with safer walls.

 

[ToyYoda]

Bad night to have your name or sponsor start with “McD”.

 

[FLRacingFan]

FOX camera crew asleep at the wheel. That's the best angle we have at a 'short' track?

Listen to the radio chatter. There’s a rift or at least lack of respect between the teams. I get the impression the 9 and 48 look down their noses at Byron and Bowman. Any time Chase mentions either it’s in the vein of “what the hell was he doing? Why are we around them?” Especially Byron.

That said, their engineering is definitely out to lunch. I think they are bordering on Roush territory in that their sim software is abysmal, which leads to bad setups and starting weekend behind.

 

[Madman88]

i was listening to the race on the radio and i enjoyed rusty's commentary.

 

[Kiante]

McDowell and hard crashes...

It happens too often with him.

 

[ToyYoda]

Shannon Spake looks like she’s headed to the prom.

 

[Ventisca]

MTJ to the lead...

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Yet.

Exactly. 4 premiere level teams and only one has a prayer at winning every week.

That's not healthy, if so JJ and Chase need a reality check IMO. They are all in the same organization and they are all struggling, so if they want to continue to struggle keep having that mentality.

Kinda like Carl’s last year at Roush when he was the only one who had a chance in hell of winning.

 

[Turtle84]

MTJ to the lead...

Called in an airstrike.

 

[Ventisca]

PBA has Playoffs??? just like NASCAR

 

[FLRacingFan]

Fewest teams to win through 8 races in NASCAR history...boy, that really is telling, isn't it?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Wow what a restart for MTJ. But He’s just keeping it warm for Kyle Busch

 

[ToyYoda]

KyBu back in the Top 5.

 

[Johali]

The only thing Chase has said about his team mates this race is when the 24 brake checked him coming out of the pits and put a dent in the 9s nose.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This is one of those races you can tell Kyle is going to win

 

[RacerrecaR]

They're too busy using their sniper zoom function on the leader

 

[Madman88]

is there a way to listen to spotter to car communications online without paying?

Need some new blood. The fact that former drivers really haven't gotten involved with ownership is frustrating to me. I'm a huge fan of Penske for numerous reasons (Rusty, Nazareth Speedway and Lehigh grad); but the man is old!! As is Gibbs, Childress, Rousch and just about everyone else...

True, but the 24 and 88 are contributing apparently zero. It’s so bad that Mr. H took Knauss away from 48 to spark the 24. Byron’s days are numbered to however long the Liberty checks clear imho. Yes, it took Chase forever to win, but at least he had chances and didn’t deliver. Byron hasn’t even sniffed a chance to choke a victory.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Logano, Keselowski, Busch. Kyle gets a penalty and still wins. I've seen this race about five times this year.
