Cup RACE thread --- Roval

Sounds about right.

Let's all play a game. Take a shot every time Burton says "playoffs" today. Last one standing wins

Nothin’ But Commercials

 

[Turtle84]

they took that bug's 15 seconds of fame away

Nothin’ But Commercials

And only 1 hour remains until they switch to NBCSN without notifying anyone

 

[Tony_K]

Same commercials over and over and over.......

And only 1 hour remains until they switch to NBCSN without notifying anyone

I suppose I should get my backup plan ready (find an online stream) in case they switch channels again.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Can Erik Jones catch a break for once

 

[Spotter22]

He got un-stuck by himself as soon as the caution flew

But it didnt look like he would have so in that case its proper to throw the caution

 

[gnomesayin]

It's good that they are slow / reluctant to throw a caution in most cases, but the officials need the local yellow in their toolbox to handle minor incidents.

The talent level in Cup is extremely high and the move to more road courses is a boon to the series. It will be refreshing that excelling on road courses will no longer be a quirk, but integral to succeeding in the championship race.

Since it has been proven that they listen to complaints if they are loud enough, I have hope that stage cautious will be nixed for road courses in the next couple years.

Blaney is really, really good here.

Like a second a lap faster good.

 

[gnomesayin]

I like the #88 Valvoline scheme. It looks like a throwback scheme even though it's not throwback weekend. It's a very clean and sharp look.

Steve obviously does not listen to his broadcasts, he talks over people all the damn time.

Watching onboard camera, 9 is gaining confidence and sending it more.

If it dries completely, I expect Chase to be in the fight.

Yeley spins for a caution.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Yeley crashes, we stay green.
He gets going again, the caution comes out.

Last couple laps he was matching the leaders

Caution came out before

What was the deal on Almirola's stop? Looked like they stared to change tires then put the old ones back on.

 

[StandOnIt]

I don't think local yellows are worth it on the Roval. The track length is too short, it's too tight and hard to get safety vehicles in most of the areas of the track. But yeah on the larger road courses

 

[AdoubleU24]

Yeah his last lap was crazy fast

I saw that

Not Kyle's year

 

[jws926]

And Kyle's crappy year continues

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

That's a nice view of the Charlotte skyline.

 

[gnomesayin]

I think NBC playing that Applebee's commercial so often may be a violation of international torture laws.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Good lap for JGR

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

I saw that

I rewound it and it appears they put the rear tire on the front and had to take it back off to get it right. Weird stop.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Did the 14 take out the 18?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Bye, Kyle.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Good thing NASCAR let Denny Hamlin race under his own set of rules last week so he could advance.

Stage racing sucks.

I’ve gained 3 pounds and contracted food poisoning just watching.

Mike Harmon says otherwise.

 

[Magicmiler]

Well, Kyle he a good run this year.
Wake me up in February.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Bye, Kyle.

I don't think he's out yet. Stage break might save him.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Dunno but 4 punted 11

still has a penalty for pitting early

I called Kyle Busch going winless after Bristol in may, and was the first in this forum to do so. I’m just gonna take a deep breath and soak it all in, ignoring the other 99.99% of my predictions that are always wrong. Man, this feels good! Is this how you guys feel all of the time!?
