Cup RACE thread --- Sonoma

Open at the green.
It ought to be very interesting when they make the turn to the Carousel.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's get this thing going.
Everyone be sure to wave at Johali and his better half.

Oh, man. DW's final boogity.

 

[Turtle84]

Best of luck to the DW throwback cars today.

 

[dirtfan]

Oh, man. DW's final boogity.

Been looking forward to this moment from the first time I heard him say it

 

[AdoubleU24]

They should've had Jeff sit out today and have the original FOX three call this one

 

[Michfan]

Thank you DW, your TV persona can be annoying, but you are one of the greatest ever and have forgotten more about stock car racing than any of us know.

 

[Greg]

I got to see DW when he was a rookie and through his whole career. Unlike most I remember him more as a very brilliant thinking man's driver rather than the man in the booth. He was one of the greats.

I am going to miss DW.

What did they do here in 98? Someone said the last time on this configuration was 97 but they did the other from 99-2018? Unless the last time was really 1998.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Been looking forward to this moment from the first time I heard him say it

I wasn't even born when he first said it.

 

[Blaze]

I hope they let DW call the win today, he deserves it.

 

[jws926]

Thanks DW for 19 years of calling NASCAR races, enjoy the next chapter of your life.

Sparkling beautiful cars streaming thru the countryside as they climb and descend along this awesome historic road course!

Can't wait for Turn 4. hehehe

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Thanks for the memories DW.....let’s Boogity one last time.

 

[jws926]

Here we go, green!!

 

[Pat]

Road racing!!!!!!!! Hey @Johali

 

[SlicedBread22]

The final boogity!

 

[BobbyFord]

Hope it’s a good race

 

[DSquad48]

Young Master iRacing should have a nice day today

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Flashbacks of my childhood watching the 24 in the lead at Sonoma.

 

[DaBiff1618]

Byron is a wheelman, moving chad over did wonders for his career

 

[Michfan]

I'm thinking JJ snaps the losing streak today, call me crazy

 

[machinistman3]

Byron really fast so far.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I'm thinking JJ snaps the losing streak today, call me crazy

Ur crazy

 

[donthaveanickname]

Thought I was wrong but that's actually Michael McDowell running in 12th.

 

[DewChaser988]

With the new layout, it's practically a new track on the Cup schedule

 

[DSquad48]

I'm thinking JJ snaps the losing streak today, call me crazy

Homeboy's still riding that McLaren high from the Alonso seat swap. I can see it.

 

[machinistman3]

I'm thinking JJ snaps the losing streak today, call me crazy

I sure hope so. It has been an unreal last few years with him. I am starting to doubt whether he ever will win again.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Well, he came pretty close at the most recent road course race.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Seeing the #24 out front at Sonoma is simply awesome.

 

[BobbyFord]

Larson’s a roadblock

 

[DewChaser988]

Hammerin' Hamlin is driving like a pinhead again

 

[DSquad48]

Chad is Ice

 

[machinistman3]

Well, he came pretty close at the most recent road course race.

That race was so unlike JJ to just kamikaze that corner.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Larson can lay down some wicked lap times here but he can’t race.

 

[Kiante]

Well, he came pretty close at the most recent road course race.

Man, that was a lunge of desperation. It proved JJ still has a lot of fire left. A seven time champion desperate for a win. Truly crazy IMO.

 

[ReturnTrip]

I missed the start, did Larson burn the rears off already?

 

[Kiante]

I missed the start, did Larson burn the rears off already?

Not sure atm, its so weird. He's fast over a lap, but just cannot put together the consistency to race here. Its been the story every year at Sears Point/Infenion/Sonoma for him.
