Cup RACE thread --- Talladega, Rd. 2

Lol so the teams are supposed to know it was closed that quickly. Great job NASCAR.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Gonna be the Toyota show out front for the next 50 laps.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bonehead goes to Jamie, honorable mention goes to Erik for oiling down the whole track.

Way too early to be declaring a bonehead already. There will be plenty more opportunities to screw up.

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

I agree that those cars probably couldn't have avoided continuing on to pit road but they didn't have to stop for service.

It should be the fords out front though, they were on the lead lap and didn't pit.

Drivers are supposed to be omnipotent about when cautions will happen, duh

 

[racer8]

Every team needs a red light on the pit box when the pits are closed

 

[StandOnIt]

atta boy Burton, make some more sheet up.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m so confused, so are the 24 penalized?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Im surprised they dont already.

 

[StandOnIt]

nope, I think they pitted. I think Ford Toyota Chevy after it all pans out. Sure would be nice if the babblers would figure it out. That's what they are supposed to get paid for? Allen just said Jr was in front, but a sec ago they said he was penalized. WTF?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wait, but Dale Jr went through with his pit stop as well with other drivers. Why is Chase the only one that is penalized?

Now Jr is scored P1?

 

[DSquad48]

Im surprised they dont already.

That would make things way too easy

 

[SeventyGTX]

I’m so confused, so are the 24 penalized?

If he is, the 42 and 88 should be as well, but they are still up front. I have no clue what's going on.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

NASCAR needs to redflag the race. This is like 10 laps under yellow and counting.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Gustafson in rare form on the radio today

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Ah the Hipster is here to explain what’s going on

 

[ToyYoda]

I turned this race on like 20 minutes ago and haven't seen any racing yet.

 

[Hotrod]

wow what a long yellow

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

How the hell could the 88 pit and now get penalized. Why does it seem every week NASCAR does something stupid, at this point WWE is more legit

 

[jws926]

I turned this race on like 20 minutes ago and haven't seen any racing yet.

Silly you, thinking you would see some racing from a race

 

[Acs]

lets see if the toyodas can run down the fords in the last 20 laps

 

[SeventyGTX]

wow what a long yellow

It's insane

 

[Pat]

If he is, the 42 and 88 should be as well, but they are still up front. I have no clue what's going on.

They are waiting for 1 to go to take their penalty.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Brad has played games on both the start and this restart

 

[donthaveanickname]

At this point of the race, showing that "Playoff Leaderboard" doesn't make any sense.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

If Jr gets involved in a wreck due to being stuck in the rear per NASCAR's unrealistic rules, theres gonna be a riot.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I was just thinking the same thing, at the very least I’m throwing my remote at the TV.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I'm going to riot if it happens to Chase

 

[StandOnIt]

they do it every race ALL race. Damn.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

"Comunatitive"

Lol christ.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Rick Allen explaining the manipulating of air is my highlight of the day so far “why are the cars so close together on the track?”

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah we are all wondering why they are running so close together. Damn

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Is Rick Allen really describing what the draft is to NASCAR fans?

For the love of god, stop.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I haven't seen the 48 mix it up on a plate track like this in a while

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Is Rick Allen really describing what the draft is to NASCAR fans?

Lmao I’m still cracking up

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

Looks like the #24 has some speed.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is Rick Allen really describing what the draft is to NASCAR fans?

For the love of god, stop.

In his defense, he's explaining it to the casual viewers. It's a production decision. I don't get why the networks feel they need to continue doing it, but they do. They certainly don't do it for other sports. If I turn on a basketball game, nobody explains squat to me.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

"One car at a time to get back up front"

 

[DSquad48]

Anybody else miss the tandem drafting?
