Cup RACE thread --- Talladega, Rd. 2

Kez was the buffer keeping Kyle off the wall. The 18 might have gotten off light considering but his brother tagged him again.
 
This is why Stenhouse won't have a ride next year
Honestly from the front angle it looks like he forced Kyle over Kurt's nose. Others say otherwise. It's really hard to tell. Maybe it was Kurt. It's just plate racing.

McDowell is scored as the leader, Blaney second.
Almirola
Hemric
Austin Dillon

I think this is Blaney's to win.
 
Plate tracks have always been ridiculous. There is a reason people would fall half a lap back and just ride. Doing so could get you a top 15.
 
I stand corrected after the replay. Kurt turned his brother, seems the Camaro nose can’t push. I’d ask the Chevy suits about that the next time they want a come to Jesus meeting at one of these tracks
Yeah, he was trying to push Kyle to get them back up front, but spun him because of the nose
 
I'm amazed they didn't wreck two or three laps earlier, when the Bush Brothers and several other cars were aggressively switching lanes every few seconds.
 
So who is going to win this race?

It seems like its always the Dillon Brothers, Newman, a few backmarkers, and a couple of top tier cars still left at the end of wreckfests so one of them
 
Sorry for Gaughan. The car was a brick in front and really only had the ability to push. It was hell of a thing for him to find himself near the front at such a late stage.A much better drive and story than a final rundown will ever tell.

But on the other hand I will now get to leave Talladega only trailing @Clutch by 976 points.

Its really hard to tell, but that last replay, you could see for just a split second Kyle was spinning off of Kurts nose, but was that because Kyle lost some speed because he was getting sideways, or was it because he did get spun by Kurt.

Gets it^^
 
I love Brendan Gaughan. One cool guy. Glad he’s okay that was a wicked flip.
 
There may still be another big one.
 
If Blaney can’t beat Ty Dillon and McDowell, it just ain’t in the cards.
 
My favorite cup driver is 4th with minimal damage to his car.
If Newman of McDowell wins this one you'll hear me screaming from a couple thousand miles away.
I’ve been waiting for Newman to get another win for what feels like forever now. Almost got to see him do it in person during this exact race in 2017 but he just got beat by Kez.
