Cup RACE thread --- Sonoma

[Racer1930]

The 42 is putting on a Loy Allen Jr. pole performance today....

I remember when Rick Mast in the #1 car had the pole once (possibly Indy?)....he sank like a stone once the race started.

That bloke must like cold pizza

 

[FLRacingFan]

What a charge from Bowyer.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Fox is determined to get all the remaining laps out of their in car cameras today before the lease is up.

Mast definitely won the pole for the 1st Brickyard. He had some good runs though during his career.

Allen had 3 career poles and 1 career top 10. He popped up at the '94 500 when he won the pole. Outside of those 3 poles his career was completely forgettable.

“Stages will allow us to reduce commercials.”

> Two full-screen ad breaks in 12 laps

And you were expecting otherwise lol

 

[Racer1930]

Upcoming Strategery !

Only thing I remember about him is he drove the #19 Heathsouth/Hooters Ford

78 and 4 leading the way. Different track configuration but the story remains the same.

Yep, its story of 2018

This is one track I actually want to have 2 dates

 

[KodiakRusty89]

I love the strategy!

 

[CodeMan125]

me too

I think the Glen is a little better track for the Cup car. With that said, Sonoma is great! If nothing else this race should be in late October as a Chase event.

 

[jws926]

Larson might not even get stage points.

The other teams pitting early helped him get stage points

 

[CodeMan125]

Aj Wins stage 1

Rick Ware showing off it's second car

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good for the 'Dinger!

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Does anyone know when they stopped using the "island" pit road at Sonoma?

 

[Racer1930]

Heat #1 is over - no serious casualties.

2 dates for here and the glen sounds like a good compromise

 

[jws926]

Awesome sauce, stage win for Dinger

 

[FLRacingFan]

Yep, its story of 2018

Only piece missing is Kyle Busch.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Because it was a serious competitive disadvantage.

 

[jws926]

I think that is gonna change soon, he is coming.

 

[ToyYoda]

AJ put a stage win on the Click List. And also some bread, toothpaste, toilet paper, and coffee.

I agree...

He better fix whatever was going wrong late in the stage.

haha, I see what you did there

 

[Racer1930]

Do any of you think I (a middle aged accountant) would look cool in those Carolina Blue shoes they keep advertising?

I've seen the commercial 20+ times and am beginning to fall in love with the product

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Because it was a serious competitive disadvantage.

It definitely was. I was wondering when it was removed. My guess is when they reconfigured the track, '99ish? I know they redid the front straight during that time.

 

[DewChaser988]

Wow, Fox actually made an Allmendinger stage winner graphic

I'll sure be glad to see boogity outa here for this season!!

Oh, sorry, I thought you asked 'why'.

He....was coming?, there is still plenty of racing left?, , I sort of stopped paying attention to Klye while I was eating my French Bread Pizza for lunch

 

[lisa]

I love this kind of racetrack. I am truly enjoying this race.

Early 2000s I think. I remember FOX doing segments on it. Gilligan’s Island.

Must be a local commercial because I haven't seen that at all
