Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

[DIDIT]

...and there is Blaney's pit crew in prime action. Best pit stall and lose a spot. Geesh.

At least someone is keeping time.

Penske vs JGR.

Near equal in pace, but JGR strategizing circles around them.

“Strategerizing”

 

[carolinabuff]

Blaney is pretty po'd about the 1 on his radio.

 

[JGR_20]

Does everyone still hate this track? I thought the racing today has been good, good crowd too

It feels and looks more competitive than I recall seeing in awhile for a Cup race here

And real strategy that many of us crave so often…good deal so far.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Blaney got his revenge on Chastain.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

RWR caution

Might come back and bite hizass later….

 

[jws926]

Weekly RWSBR caution is back.

 

[DIDIT]

Woops, brakes went away

Is now the time for a cripplingly bad 9 pit stop yet or is that later?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Tuned in right in time to see Cody in action.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Muted Fox's commentary and put on MRNs commentary..

THAT is the kind of commentary needed for NASCAR's TV broadcasts

Fox's commentary is among the few things about their broadcasts that I actually like. Chad was great to listen to when he was in the booth for a couple of Xfinity races last(?) year.
Don't really need radio commentary when I'm watching because I can see what's happening with my own eyes.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I really thought Reddick would have been more of a player here

 

[donthaveanickname]

First time this year I'm realizing Harvick and Truex still exist.

 

[StandOnIt]

Oh man Logano got screwed

Nah, not clutch time yet. Chase’s restarts and early run lack of speed are doing damage enough.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Richmond is, AT BEST, a one race a year track. Oof

 

[saltysenior]

I wonder if a Toyota will win the Toyota Owner's 400 ??

 

[AdoubleU24]

So I guess Chase running top 5 all day was a mirage. Wtf

 

[jaqua19]

Truex is flying.

Did they mention what happened to Biffle?

Like clockwork. Its getting old lol

 

[DIDIT]

Oh geez, just realized the race sponsor is Toyota. Guess it will be Truex today.

I must’ve missed something, did he get rooted out of the groove by someone?

 

[jaqua19]

Truex runs down Byron, 2 seconds in 8 laps, and can't get by him lol.

Give these cars more power. Yesterday.

I missed it too. Looked up from my nap qnd he was 18th lol

 

[jaqua19]

Larson finally running some top 5 lap times.

Suspension issues

 

[jaqua19]

Byron wasn't a top 10 car, and is holding off the fastest car in the field.

Not okay

I'm thinking they went severely the wrong way on something. He radio'd and said he didn't know what was wrong with the thing and Alan comes on yelling "I do I do! Just be smooth with it and we'll get you fixed up!"...ok? Lol

 

[jaqua19]

Really curious about what Harvick and Larson could do if they get some track position.

Two fastest cars the last 20 laps.

Sounds awful familiar. They used to do the same thing with Gordon as he ran pitifully bad

Alan showing emotion?

Saying "I do I do" like a school girl?

That certainly seems out of character. Although,not having a good feel on the car and reacting to poor changes too late certainly is IN character.

Yeah just told him again when Chase questioned it that he knew what it was and would tell him later

Lol I really don't understand your beef with him. He's one of the most accomplished CCs in the garage. And has done it thru multiple generations of these cars.
