Cup RACE thread --- Roval

[Dr_B_UNC]

Hocevar needs his ass kicked.

 

[jaqua19]

Larson doesn't look good in that hairpin turn

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

This track was reconfigured with the sole intent of crashing racecars.

Jinx

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Tempers are really showing up early in this race.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Dang MTJ.

 

[antman12]

Did the 48 just not cause all of that by overcooking the corner and wrecking the 3?

Yup. He dumped him but it’ll be ignored.

Old school Martinsville or Bristol tempers on a road course.

I actually think it flows a lot better. But to that point with this car that is the move with low speed corners considering how sturdy they are

 

[Brentford]

Regular season champ really gonna be out in round 2?

 

[jaqua19]

Regular season champ really gonna be out in round 2?

Self inflicted.

I can't believe him

 

[StandOnIt]

Regular season champ really gonna be out in round 2?

Not yet.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

If Gustafson doesn’t flip this stage, we riot. Who’s with me?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

DANGIT. Gustafson just said they’re taking the points. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…….

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Toss a chance at a win for 2 effing points.

 

[Speedbowl14]

NASCAR gonna bring back AVUS by 2026-

 

[jaqua19]

Logano just shoved the 99 out of the way. 16 around the 9 right behind them, both will be pressuring the 99

 

[bigspud]

Why pass?
just punt the car in front so he over shoots the corner
and has to do a stop and go

That's outrageous, tbh. The 5/20/13/24 will be flipping the stage.

Elliott will get another top 5 stage points. But wow

 

[nascarwoman]

This is really fun to watch. Some of those drivers are really getting hot under that helmet.

Gustafson is too focused on 45 and their issues. They finally have a winning car and will piss it away again.

Martinsville but make it a road course. This really is great racing though because they’re bumping and banging but not really outright wrecking

Just think, with this strategy they will advance and you can continue doing your thing.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

The 3rd stage is shaping up to be Talladega all over again. LOL

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

“how’s the car?”
“I think it’s fine, just a little tight back there in sh** box traffic in last.”

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Wouldn’t have it any other way, right? Someone has to be the Yin to @jaqua19 ’s Yang.

 

[StandOnIt]

Stage 2 points

Who will be the bowling ball? I’m looking at Logano and Hocevar.

 

[StandOnIt]

Looking good for all of the Hendrick cars at this point.

 

[jaqua19]

Larson asked Cliff where the 45 got his damage


Cliff told him what Reddick did and kind of laughed. Larson was silent.

Reddick is an idiot lol

 

[StandOnIt]

Lottery winner Briscoe should have never been in the playoffs to start with.

 

[Mike Crayne]

Who will be the bowling ball? I’m looking at Logano and Hocevar.

I thought the 99 was doing a good job of that.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I thought the 99 was doing a good job of that.

And the 48 apparently is out of Fs to give today too.

 

[JJ_14]

It sucks to see Briscoe's championship hopes end like that, but there's a lot of positives when looking at his season.

Let's go Zane Smith! #pickem

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

NASCAR is going to start calling yellows on these spins they’ve let go until now.

 

[jaqua19]

To be fair I think Alan knows that a winning car isn't enough anymore. They'd need to strategize their way up to the 5/20/13 before they get too far away.

So I do get playing the strategy game.

I just don't think it's necessary. Like, taking that shot isn't gonna kill your round of 8 advancement. You're good on points. Even if flipping the stage results in no stage points and a 7th place finish. But what do I know.

To be fair, guys stayed out. Larson is p6, and if Elliott flipped the stage he'd still be starting outside the top 12 here and a winning strategy may be out the window now. Those top 6 cars who pitted during the last yellow kinda killed a lot of track position.

I don’t need logic and reason right now sir. I’m terrified of the inevitable incoming wreck that is none of our doing.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

That sums up the season for Legacy Motorclub right there.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Dang, 22 gets their caution.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Reddick gonna place 15th at this rate with all the carnage

 

[donthaveanickname]

Did AJ, Bubba and Logano pit at some point after stage 1?
