“I’m Brazilian”

Those things are painful.

Harvick catching up to Elliot.

“I’m Brazilian”

Bless your heart

 

[ChexOrWrex]

The problem with Larson is that he’s running the pavement. If he dove into the dirt he’d have lapped the field twice.

 

[BobbyFord]

Kevin is gonna get by the 9

 

[TexasRaceLady]

OK, let's stick to the race, please.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Chase is always getting screwed maybe a crew chief change is in order

Elliott likely had a Top 5 car without "strategy" imo. Not sure why they're applauding the decision.

 

[jws926]

You were saying

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Whoop de-do Larry, Alan made a good call for once, doesn’t make up for the thousand terrible calls

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chase is always getting screwed maybe a crew chief change is in order

What? Alan finally put him in position for a podium finish.

 

[Racer1930]

Justin Marks in the golf cart LOL

 

[FLRacingFan]

Blimp looking desperately to find MTJ.

If he had not come in with the rest, he'd be back in the pack.

 

[DewChaser988]

I am hoping for a yellow and Harvick and Truex take each other out on the ensuing restart

 

[BobbyFord]

The 20 car is pretty beat up.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I think we’ve at least got to get rid of the stages on road courses. With F1 usually being around 50-55 laps there’s only usually one stop (or potentially 2 based on the safety car) so while tire/pit strategy is important, it isn’t everything. The move of the race was a ****** bluff on pit road lol

 

[BobbyFord]

Bowyer about to dispatch the 9.

 

[Efisher131]

I was so excited for this race, and I've been completely let down

Imagine how Kyle feels.

Kudos to Jones, that kid was almost in tears here last year. He hated this place.

 

[DewChaser988]

Okay maybe we should get rid of stages on road courses and restrictor plate tracks

 

[Biggreen695]

This race has absolutely sucked

With a top ten today, Almirola will equal the same amount of Top tens Danica had in the 10 car

 

[Racer1930]

Did I see a hotdog wrapper in turn 8 ?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Top 10 here is quite an accomplishment for Jones. The kid is good for the sport.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Why

 

[harkin]

Harvick creeping up but no way he can gain 5 sec a lap without a yellow.

 

[BobbyFord]

Sonoma; prolly a tofu dog wrapper.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I swear some fans took some GWCs and an oiled-down final lap at The Glen and made that their road racing expectation.

 

[BobbyFord]

Great pit calls and a fast race car is why Truex won this thing. Stellar day for the 78 team.

 

[Efisher131]

This was an F1 race with some stages and double the cars

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Must be the car.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Thought the F1 race this morning was more exciting than this one. Onto Chicagoland

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Truex !!!!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

You know the rules for finishing the race is fudged when the leader looks to the white flag rather than the checkered.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Pretty uneventful race.

 

[ToyYoda]

Truex wins!

I'll tell you who finished 2nd in 10-15 minutes.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Is this a home track win for MTJ?

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Strategy or not he likely had the best car. It's a 3 car runaway this year.....

 

[Mispeedway15]

This is an embarrassment for the sport. I’m literally pissed watching this, a 13 second win? You know why there were no cautions? Because there was absolutely no bumping which has made road courses so thrilling in the past
