Cup RACE thread ---- Sonoma

[HoneyBadger]

He’s 34.

And?

 

[BobbyFord]

And?

What else do you need other than that?
The comparison was between a fast 22 year old and a fast 34 year old. Which would you rather be?

 

[JJ_14]

Which tells you everything you need to know about the in season tournament.

It's just a gimmick that I don't pay much attention to. Another incentive for the drivers, I guess.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Well, that's it for me. Nine hours of watching racing without interruption is enough for now.

Good night y'all.

 

[nascarwoman]

It's just a gimmick that I don't pay much attention to.

I have no interest in the tournament.

 

[BobbyFord]

I think SVG went exactly just as fast as he needed to go in those final laps. I don’t believe Elliott would’ve had a chance even without the yellows.

 

[JJ_14]

I agree. SVG didn't use up his stuff, no chance Elliott beats him.

It was a race for second for Elliott.

[BobbyFord]

James Small would be a good CC fit for SVG. Not saying Stephen Doran is doing a bad job…

 

[StandOnIt]

Great driving Ty?

Depends on which 22 and which 34. Remind me how old Gibbs and SVG are.

The comparison was Berry and Hocevar. If I was a car owner, I’d hire Hocevar.

Because Carson hasn’t run anyone over before.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Josh has a win this year.

How many wins does Ty Gibbs have?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Josh has a win this year.

How many wins does Ty Gibbs have?

How many team-owning grandfathers does Berry have?

 

[BobbyFord]

Josh has a win this year.

JFC, the comparison isn’t Gibbs and Berry. It’s Berry and Hocevar, and Hocevar has zero Cup wins.
Both Hocevar and Ty will end up with more Cup wins than Berry.
Everyone knows that.

Because one has a grandfather who owns a team and the other had a ton of backing to be able to get a cup ride at such a young age.

Josh did it the hard way.

If Josh had a ride at 22, you wouldn’t want to see his stat line today.

 

[kkfan91]

I think people forget it because he had a win coming into the season, but SVG is a rookie and just tied the rookie record for most wins in a rookie season shared by Smoke and 7 time.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Great driving Ty?

I can’t hate on him, that’s as close as he’ll come to a W in the cup series. Saying that he’ll probably win at Daytona next month

Again…the comparison isn’t Ty and Berry.
It’s Hocevar and Berry.
I believe Hocevar has led more laps this year than Berry.
Hocevar doesn’t have a team-owning grandfather either.

That’s an insane stat, Justin did it right signing him full time for Cup with the amount of RC’s on the schedule

 

[Charlie Spencer]

JFC, the comparison isn’t Gibbs and Berry. It’s Berry and Hocevar, and Hocevar has zero Cup wins.
Both Hocevar and Ty will end up with more Cup wins than Berry.
Everyone knows that.

When do you see Gibbs starting this two-win rampage?

 

[BobbyFord]

That’s an insane stat, Justin did it right signing him full time for Cup with the amount of RC’s on the schedule

…and SVG is getting better on the ovals.

 

[BobbyFord]

When do you see Gibbs starting this two-win rampage?

Maybe whenever Berry gets it?
Andy thinks podunk short track glamour automatically equates to HOF Cup wins.

Let’s look at how many of these guys are coming up through the podunk CARS Tour.

I didn't claim Berry would. You're the one making the Gibbs prediction and making the HOF references.

 

[Naitch]

Josh Berry is one of the last of a dying breed, a guy who used to be the norm in NASCAR. We should reflect on why it’s rare to see guys work during the week and race at the short track on the weekend.

 

[BobbyFord]

Again, the initial comparison was Berry/Hocevar.
Andy decided to add Gibbs to the equation.

I withdraw the comment.

 

[BobbyFord]

Who cares? Let’s look at on-track Cup performance.
Berry is in a pretty good ride.
I believe Carson has led more laps.

How many wins at tracks not called Daytona or Talladega has that 21 car has this century prior to Josh coming in?

 

[Naitch]

No more or less than the unwarranted Pez comment. Personal insults, the last refuge when one can't support one's position.

Statement was about the comment, not the person. Dunking on “podunk short tracks” on a NASCAR forum is a bit of a…choice.

 

[BobbyFord]

Are you moving the goalposts on purpose? Your argument seems to be struggling.

 

[HoneyBadger]

All I’ll say about the incident between Josh and Carson is:

Ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun.

 

[HoneyBadger]

You know me and Bobby dish out insults at each other for fun, right?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Statement was on being a two-bit reporter for short tracks.

Berry is 17 points ahead of Hocevar on the season. Looking forward to the rest of the year.

No, I did not, and it doesn't come across in your posts as friendly. Maybe toss in a couple of emojis.
