Cup RACE thread --- Sonoma

I guess I picked the wrong road course to use McDowell at. Should have used him here.

He's 4th and gaining on Buescher, not bad.

What happened to Haley?

I picked McDowell my fingers are crossed for a top three but nothing is guaranteed, and there will be a lot of laps on them tires when they wave the checkered flag.

What happened to Haley?

Guys in the back do not matter at all apparently. Haven’t heard a thing about him.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

KFB got Chastain'd

 

[Brentford]

Thanks Chastain for giving AJ another position. I appreciate it.

 

[Reck]

Kyle Larson is insane. The speed he can find is mind boggling.

NASCAR did well to give him that waiver.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Wow!

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Larson wins, Truex and KFB run out of gas on the last lap.

 

[aunty dive]

Excellent finish for McDowell after near-disaster.

If we’re ever gonna have a dynasty run in NASCAR again, it’ll be Larson and Daniels hands down.

Best driver since Earnhardt. Best crew chief.

Nobody can beat him when he’s lights out.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Crazy finish! Larson was BAD fast.

 

[nascarwoman]

Good for Truex coaxing that car across the line.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A much-needed 2nd place finish for Michael McDowell

 

[Mike Crayne]

I guess Fox doesn't want us to see why Bush spun.

 

[StandOnIt]

That was a wild one.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Yes sir

I guess Fox doesn't want us to see why Bush spun.

They're searching social media for fan posted footage.

Larson winning, points lead, Hamlin going nowhere.

I nailed my first page predictions.

Only passes for the lead were the 19 on the 17 (with a few lap fresher tires) and the 5 on the 19 (13 lap fresher tires)

 

[AdoubleU24]

Thank God no more Bowyer

Weren't you touting William Byron as the next dynasty?

I'll rock with my driver, but this was entirely a tire strategy win. He was that fast because he had the best car and fresh tires.

 

[jaqua19]

I want to hear from Kyle Busch

 

[AdoubleU24]

Weren't you touting William Byron as the next dynasty?

There's so many hyperbolic statements made by Andy in the last 3 to 4 years I've lost track

 

[Michfan]

Is this your first time meeting Andy?

Are those the only passes that matter?

It goes back way more than that lol

 

[AdoubleU24]

It goes back way more than that lol

Oh for sure lol

 

[Speedbowl14]

Compared to his podium posts much of Andy's racing opinions upstairs are dead-pan serious

 

[jaqua19]

Not talked about enough, but this race was won by Larson getting onto pit road, and by his pit crew.

Pitted with a 20 second lead over Buscher. Came out only 11 seconds behind.

To go from +20 to -11 during a 4 tire stop is blazing fast. I thought for sure he'd come out 15+ seconds back.

You have an asterisk for everything.

 

[Ernie_Irvan#4]

Thank goodness

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

 

[Hotrod]

Well I guess its time to que the gerbils or whats left of them.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m bummed I miss todays racing festivities but the town carnival was going on and my 3 year old wanted to go to his 3rd day in 4, so off being a dad. Thank goodness for DVR. Hopefully it’s a good one

 

[Clutch]

I want to hear from Kyle Busch

 

[jaqua19]

Larson is just one of 5 drivers to average 5 wins per season over a 4 year stretch since Jeff Gordon.

Best 4 season stretches:

Jimmie Johnson from 2007-2010 averaged 7.5 (5.5 for 13 years lol)
Kyle Busch from 2015-2019 averaged 5.5
Truex from 2016-2019 averaged 5.75
Harvick from 2017-2020 averaged 5.75
Larson from 2021-2024 averaged 5 and counting.

Larson has had one of the most dominant 4 season stretches in recent years...the 5th best, technically
