Cup RACE thread --- Talladega, Rd. 1

[JBone88]

Half the issue with the racing now isnt just the car, its the drivers not taking risks to make for an entertaining race and finish. Buncha Greg Biffles out here.

Yep. Rather finish 8th, drink a soda, plug the sponsors, and call it a day. Pathetic.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Whoa, roof hatch in VL is pretty dope haha

 

[The Nature Boy]

No question. The 22 deserved to win, but the field did him a favor by waiting till the white flag to start racing. Yet again. So stupid. These guys have all had their balls yanked off on these plate tracks.

Chase TRIED to make a move with about 10 to go but he had no help. If Stenhouse had gone with Chase then, we might've had a race.

 

[DSquad48]

Put some respek on Biffle's name.

Chex is Jimmie

Sadly Chase didn't have any Chevy guys around him. Everyone seems to work with the manufacturer they are more than ever.

 

[Kiante]

No

At least he had his helmet off.

Lol.

 

[Pat]

Congrats to the 22 team and fans

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

How is everything going? Dish network is fighting with my local fox affiliate. So no race for me

Have you tried to get your local FOX affiliate with an antenna?

If you don't have an antenna, a paper clip can act like one if the signal is strong enough.

Chase Elliott calling these pansies out

Manufacturer doesnt matter. Chase didnt have anyone around him that wanted to win.

Chase Elliott calling these panies out

Love it haha.

 

[JBone88]

Chase putting the field on blast. Love it.

Probably so, but he might have stood a bit of a better chance with someone with a bowtie behind him.

Good sh*t

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chex is Jimmie

 

[StandOnIt]

I think the announcer got it wrong, showing Elliott 3rd not fourth

No antenna local fox is 84 miles away, never been able to get it here

And that sound is some drivers crossing Chase's name of their Christmas card list.

 

[StandOnIt]

Don't know why Elliott is complaining..well I do.... race car driver

 

[Conwayite]

Hambone gonna have some splaning to do lol 3 times!

Good. **** the kumbaya ****.

I thought Kurt Busch should've pushed Harvick to the lead and then gone for the win. Kind of a boneheaded move imo to pass Harvick instead. Defeteated the purpose of staying behind Logano for all those laps and cost them a shot at winning

 

[Conwayite]

Don't know why Elliott is complaining..well I do.... race car driver

Telling it the way it is...truth hurts

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Elliott with 8 2nd place finishes wants to put some effort into winning a race, whoda thunk it

 

[JBone88]

Don't know why Elliott is complaining..well I do.... race car driver

Because he’s the only one who tried to race the last 15 laps.

True that

yeah the rest of them were out for a Sunday drive right?

 

[JBone88]

Sure looked like it.

 

[StandOnIt]

was KDB in the race?

 

[SlicedBread22]

Sure looked like it.

Except one more

 

[SlicedBread22]

was KDB in the race?

Who cares!

 

[StandOnIt]

Lagano put it ON them today.

Well let's be realistic...multi-millionaires aren't exactly "Hungry" - especially if they are confident about getting into the "Chase".

"they call it riding the gravy train"

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Really weird for me, not seeing Dale Earnhardt Jr out there. You just used to seeing drivers at certain tracks.

 

[StandOnIt]

Joey pulled his pack ahead and took away the competition. That is what a driver wants to happen, same as lapping the field. The fans cry, but the driver is still smiling.

 

[StandOnIt]

5 Chevys in the top 12, Byron led some laps, Elliott finished third. They are getting better

Plate track is no indication. We'll see after Dover
