Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

[FLRacingFan]

I believe he could have a late career like Jeff Gordon did, gets a 1-3 wins each, year go deep into the playoffs and if things break right be a threat to win it.

Won more races last year than he did in any of his final three years with JGR. Still a lot of time left to straighten things out this season, but I think the wins were already getting fewer and further between and his performance generally more inconsistent.

Kyle Busch made his bed.

Yeah but at least people like him now

To be honest I didnt like what the 5 was doing anyway. he is clearly the best car, why play games?

I thought wad a good strategy to win the stage and lap many cars. The best way to get stage points and have less cars to beat off of put road during the planned stage pits.

At the end of the day he just had the wrong last name

Dude

Tell me I’m wrong? I mean yeah he had fans before hand like you. But people who hated that man for years like him now because he’s a Chevy driver, and drives for RCR at that.

I totally agree.

 

[Spotter22]

5 is about a tenth quicker right now but I think the 19 will still take the stage

 

[REBS31]

The caution ending the strategy really took the wind out of this one for me. Hopefully the whole thing can play out in the final stage.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I like the idea of Richmond running at night but they race so much better in the day

 

[Spotter22]

Truex flips on the 5 and is using traffic to keep that distance

 

[Greg]

Thd arrow pointing to the #38 on Gillilands car is so courteous with a reminder for the spotters and scoring.

 

[Greg]

Hard to believe Hamlin is 43 years old.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Bowman almost made it.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Josh Berry running strong through the first 2 stages, in 2nd.

 

[Spotter22]

19-5 is gonna be good

 

[wi_racefan]

Interesting, just picked up radio traffic saying the #22 isn't shifting

It's easier to like an ass when he's not a threat to win every week.

19 and 5 start on the front row it looks like.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Truex just blasted by Larson on that restart

 

[Spotter22]

Its all about who saves the best now

 

[Naitch]

People are too easily swayed. I dislike him more because of his association with Rich Children Racing.

Not a fair weather fan. I’ve been partial to him since he drove the 5. Also enjoyed his 08 season, thought he was going to win 13 or more that year. I’ve been on here since I joined saying that KDB was the best in the biz and worth the price of a ticket

It’s been good racing. This is a LONG race though, gotta settle in a bit

 

[Reck]

Is it me or is the Harvick/Bowyer chemistry not meshing all that well in the both?

The constant digs that fall flat and the silence from Mike are cringe enducing. lol

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

You see the JGR Toyotas moving up as the Pay Window gets close to opening. Stealthy

 

[Spotter22]

Remember when Martin won the Championship at Homestead he was money every lap, so consistent. This should be fun

Jamie looks lonely in the studio, he could use a friend like Clint next to him

Harvick provides insightful analysis.

Bowyer is there to be the class clown.

Truex was the leader.

5/19 are damn near equal. Gonna come down to track position.

I like Kevin in the booth. His information is clear and concise.

Probably going to come down to the last pit stop.

I think Clint is better than he was last year. I attribute that to Kevin's presence
