Cup RACE thread --- Sonoma

[DewChaser988]

In 2 weeks, we're going to a race that should stay on the 4th of July Weekend past this year. **** Indianapolis

JJ and his CC don’t adjust well during the race, seems to get much worse instead of better. May need to make a change.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

The Glen has always been my fav, but now with the Carousel, Sonoma's growing on me.

They did -- JJ and Chad parted ways. The new CC didn't seem to help.

 

[BobbyFord]

Doesn’t Darrell have more wins than Jimmie?

Now they should run the Glen with the boot!

I’m talking again. If it doesn’t work you gotta move on.

 

[DewChaser988]

Yeah, the Carousel adds a new passing opportunity

By 1 , 84/83

 

[machinistman3]

Wow Byron has a lotta work to do.

 

[hendrickfreak]

They should really race here in the spring when the grass is green

 

[ReturnTrip]

Truex is about to stink this one up.

 

[BobbyFord]

Me thinks Jimmie never gets to VL again.

 

[machinistman3]

Truex is about to stink this one up.

It’s s long way to being over.

 

[Pat]

He was a moving chicane after 10 laps into that run.

I hate it

 

[DewChaser988]

They really should just add Sonoma to the West Coast swing

 

[BobbyFord]

18 up to 3rd

West coast fans aren't gonna show up 4 weeks straight, I know I can't. I see a lot of other fans with shirts of other west coast tracks.

Fans in Oregon and Washington will

What I don't like about the Carousel is that it takes a lot of the speed out going into turns 4 and 7. Still a great road course though.

 

[Kiante]

Newman with damage.

Nothing new.

 

[BobbyFord]

I don’t mind seeing Joey in 14th

 

[Kiante]

I don’t mind seeing Joey in 14th

He's got a fast piece. He'll be up front by the end of it all.

 

[Blaze]

NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Knaus going for 10 stage points instead of track position might have killed their chances. Was hoping Byron would move up quicker than this.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Mushed the nose up real good.

 

[BobbyFord]

He's got a fast piece. He'll be up front by the end of it all.

No. He won’t be up front.

 

[BobbyFord]

Stages kill a road race.

 

[DSquad48]

Woah, the 95 in 5th?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Woah, the 95 in 5th?

Been there all run.

 

[DewChaser988]

Great battle between Suarez and Kez

 

[BobbyFord]

Woah, the 95 in 5th?

Great run for those guys

 

[DUN24]

Stage breaks ruined this ****** race. A shame that the difference in pitting two laps earlier 17 laps into the race completely eliminates you from contention later.

 

[DUN24]

Stages kill a road race.

Yep, well, the breaks do anyways.

 

[carolinabuff]

He was reporting electrical problems near the end of stage 1 but apparently that's not an issue anymore.

Larry Mac talked about how “50 lap stage is a long run here at Sonoma”.

Um, remember when the only stage was 90 laps?

We don’t know how the cautions will fall

 

[racingfan7]

The stages kinda ruined that segment...

 

[BobbyFord]

Yep, well, the breaks do anyways.

Manipulation sucks

 

[racingfan7]

I enjoyed stage 1 here but stage 2 was meh, maybe just me here?
