Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

Dillon's gonna factor into the end of this one.

Can we boot Rick and Burton and bring in Bestwick? Please...

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

How mad would people be if Brad went on a run and won the title at Phoenix?

Madder than Austin Dillon winning the Cup at Phoenix?

I’m hoping Bell can grab this top 15 tonight. Nothing that will make a highlight reel for anyone, but they’ve had speed and have nothing to show for it the last month or so in finishes. Hoping he can see a little momentum to end this season.

the starting order stuff just has made things really challenging for a lot of teams outside top 10 this year. Not the only battle with 95 this year, but definitely a notable one...

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Did we jinx Dillon?

People would lose their minds over that

 

[harkin]

Wow Dillon wth?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I thought Brad was going to be the worst Penske guy this year. He easily has been the best and probably the best behind Hamlin and Harvick

Yea me too, bad enough I thought he was going to the 48. A BOLD prediction gone wrong

 

[Greg]

Austin implicated hisself.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

People would lose their minds over that

The “you’re not the real 3” crowd would croak and fall over

I don't like Austin Dillon much, but I would love to see that honestly

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Austin has a fast car, made a mistake that’s fine keep it clean and all will be well. He hasn’t been overdriving it tonight, no mistakes while overcoming this one

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I don't like Austin Dillon much, but I would love to see that honestly

Me too, very much so for RC and RCR

 

[Greg]

I would short short pit on lap 340.

I didn't think Blaney would be among the final 4 at Phoenix, but I figured he'd survive a couple of rounds and get to the round of 8. He's going to have to win at Bristol next week to keep those hopes alive. Just way too many drivers to leap over to do so on points this round.

 

[Turtle84]

Mother of gawd the effect of new tires.

 

[JGR_20]

Dillon has been a quiet surprise. Just on the surface, without looking into his stats... I’ve noticed his name/#3 more often as this season has moved along

 

[2 Sweet]

Yep. If one of my guys can't win it, I'll always root for the underdog, especially if it's a team like RCR

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I feel like Richmond has been mediocre for years now, at least by general short track standards. Tonight has been a pretty good race though

Oh its been great in terms of long runs with strategy.

 

[hmmm298]

There's hardly been any cautions all weekend for on track incidents. It's kind of odd.

Sounds like it's 2020

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

These pits stops are it for these fellas tonight unless caution right?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

No practice has been the best thing to happen in this whole situation. Driver mistakes galore.

this first round of tracks is just not a good thing for him. Until Ryan and his team find what he wants in his Richmond setup, he’s gonna have a tough time in the first round without a stack of stage points...

If he were to get out of this round, there are many bright tracks for him all the sudden.

You’re a better CC analyst than Letarte. We’ll be making a referral to the NBC Sports folks.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’ve enjoyed it personally, good racing all around

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Playoff Denny and playoff 11 team have showed up tonight

 

[AdoubleU24]

How is Dillon still even that close to the lead after his flub up?

 

[Switchback]

Yep. If one of my guys can't win it, I'll always root for the underdog, especially if it's a team like RCR

I have a soft spot for rcr, not a big dillon fan but I'd like to see rc at the top of the sport again. I doubt it happens but it'd be cool.

I like strategy races so I am enjoying this one.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Put down some good laps while he had fresher tires than everyone else. Tire falloff is substantial.

 

[Turtle84]

Guy's Keselowski is lifting early and floating into the corner, this is in direct violation of his "won't lift" policy.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I attribute it to the The magic of the 3

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

PSA: if any of you on here have a chance to go the the Bristol night race, go. It’s an amazing place and race to go to.

might have to demote himself down into a lower series...

 

[CodeMan125]

Martin the entitled Butt-plug Truex Jr moves into second place

Working in a baseball analogy to follow up the bocce promos. Who do they think is watching this?

100% same thinking as you. Ive always been an RCR fan because of Dale, then Kevin. It’s good when they win.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

NBC is reading this board ha ha we just talked about the Penske CC’s . Jeff Burton, which member are you on here?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

“The Letarte”. Dear god no

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I still think the RWR Rolling $hit boxes will play a role with about 10 to go....”This restart could have MAJOR Playoff IMPLICATIONS!!!”
