Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

[Charlie Spencer]

Should be the full-time short track tire.

Nah, I really like having the two different compounds in the tool kit.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Someone do something! My cat’s done fallen asleep!

She's a cat; that's what they do.

In our house, if you have a critter on your lap, the other people have to bring your drinks and snacks.

Well, Cliff, you really messed up this strategy. If you played this normal, you're looking at top 10 stage points for stage 2.

Totally out thought himself. Gonna be a net negative, with zero stage points on the day.

I vote for shipping Richmond date to Langley, the streets of Baltimore, anywhere.

 

[antman12]

Nitrous is the next option.
To spray or not to spray…

Designate a special part of the track that the drivers can hit a button and it will reduce drag and enable passing.

That 1 paint scheme is bad azz

Week in and out the 77 impresses me more and more. This kid is gonna be a star

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Compared to the 99, Busch has already used the goody up

Gonna look stupid if they fall back off the lead lap.

 

[Brentford]

Good point. I just thought since she’s entertained by the squirrels she sees outside, she’d be entertained by the squirrels out on the track.

 

[Spotter22]

The 8 now is 3 tenths slower than the 99

But Reddick is still in 4th on the same strategy!

Gonna be close!

 

[jaqua19]

Great job Cliff. Good strategy. Driver gets the car into the top 10, bonehead strategy to lose all that track position.

 

[antman12]

Strong night for the 22 so far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Gonna be close!

There he went.

5 doesn't have the speed the 45 does

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'm trying to guess what takes out Kyle tonight, and which lap.

Looks like general ineptitude was tonight's malady...

 

[jaqua19]

Great job 5 team. Needlessly gave up stage points to the 9 today. Just a stupid strategy call. ****.

 

[Efisher131]

9 did nothing wrong there

 

[FLRacingFan]

Martin washes up the track and is upset at Chase? lol

 

[Spotter22]

Damn! Clyde running all over the side of the 19!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Oh whiny MTJ, his retirement can’t come soon enough

 

[Efisher131]

Looks like general ineptitude was tonight's malady...

He still has a chance to bring out his patented 2024 late race yellow

 

[Brentford]

Didn’t think Mcdowell would be able to hold his position. It will be interesting to see how it plays out for he and Suarez.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

9 did nothing wrong there

I didn't see anything wrong, either. Just racing for position.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hopefully they can figure it out this last stage

 

[HoneyBadger]

I STILL don’t understand how stage points result into playoff seeding after all this time. I know a stage win is a playoff point. But how is it imperative for Chase Elliott to get a stage point?

 

[AdoubleU24]

Chase roughed him up on the back stretch but sorry Marty, fighting for a points title here while you're dreaming of holding a fishing rod and rifle.

 

[jaqua19]

5 is gonna need a hell of a stop and needs to stay within 4 spots of the 9.

So infuriated. If you played that safe, you probably end up in p10 there. Just a needless strategy.

 

[FLRacingFan]

One more point he gets over Larson towards the regular season title.

He has to. 5 has done everything possible to give it away.

 

[BobbyFord]

If a caution comes late with 30 to go everyone will be on reds.

Cry me a river, Truex.

Because gerbils. See also nitrous oxide.

Chase was fighting through the pick MTJ was trying to set with the lapper, Idk what he was expecting.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Okay that makes sense.

I just don’t get why it matters if you need playoff points to improve seeding.

**** this format 10 years and counting. **** stages 8 years and counting.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

MTJ washes up from this vantage point

 

[Brentford]

Thank goodness for stage breaks, otherwise we’d have maybe 5 cars on the lead lap.

 

[jaqua19]

Outside of the Indy win, the 5 team has been pissing away what should have been a wrap on the regular season title.

Not only do you bring a dud, but you play a horrible strategy to kill the track position you get in stage 2.

Points lead gone. Gonna have to keep it close for Darlington. But that's probably it.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

"Hey, chief, what if we put yellows on the right and reds on the left?"

"Just drive, okay?"
