Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

[ToyYoda]

The 2 could have hit on a good combination this season. Withhold judgement for a couple seasons before declaring him one of the GOATs.

He's been great on plate tracks ever since he's been in the sport though, Talladega especially.

 

[Joe Hartshorn]

it's lovely to hear you guys enjoying yourselves - I thought this sort of race was disliked over there
super technique and strategy required

Plate Racing 101: Stay out of trouble until the end...then go for it.

(if you can avoid dragging a jack around the track that would be good - but not essential)

 

[Clutch]

Every single week I post the links to timing and scoring in the first post of the pre race thread. Sometimes I have to wonder, why bother? This is one of those times.

Dpk we all appreciate your pre- race threads. This is just for those without access to the live race.,

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kinda hard to argue that.

His skill on plate races is obvious.

Plus if he wins today he's tied Sr. with 3 plate wins in a row.

 

[RowdyBusch]

You goons want to learn how to plate race? Watch the 2. Nobody better.

No, I want to time travel to next week, to an actual race

Hey not all of us are old-timers who despise plate racing and "illegitimate" champions.

 

[jasn88cubs]

i bet brad's donkey face helps him with the draft

 

[29-4]

Lol @ 'Darrell Earnhardt'

 

[jasn88cubs]

loganos tough guy talk is hilarious

Awwwww, bless your heart!

 

[Kiante]

Denny said, "Nope, I'm not letting you back in."

 

[RacerrecaR]

Denny Hamlin "I'm ok with butterflies". My guess is he means he's ok working with Chase. My reasoning is because most drivers get butterflies drafting with rookies at plate tracks.

The irony

Oh, and he won his first Cup race in an underfunded car at Tallerrrrdeeegerrrrrrrr

And his boss at the time was a great plate racer as well

 

[donthaveanickname]

Well,in my opinion the first 100 laps were boring.
Keselowski is dominating and behind him, nothing really happens.
Hopefully, we'll have 10 exciting laps at the end with Smoke and the Gibbs-Toyotas coming from the back of the field.

 

[Racer1930]

Uh Oh....that's gonna leave a mark

 

[Kiante]

Damn Biffle.

 

[Acs]

Well I could be watching the weekly F1 parade at Austin or my Vikings take their first loss... nah. Lets go 2 crew! Whip these scrubs and advance to the next round.

 

[jws926]

Biff forget to use his turn signal

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Gregs been driving like a bafoon all day. No suprise here.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Biffle spins!
Really?!?

 

[DanicaFreak]

patrick had to be alert there!

 

[Racer1930]

Biff forget to use his turn signal

and I was betting on Biff crashing on lap 179...I guess he got impatient...

 

[Mispeedway15]

I'm liking Jr in the booth. He's actually a terrific color guy

 

[Mr Excitement]

patrick had to be alert there!

Sounds like she got a piece of it.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Yeah...for me I think it is the terminology. They call it side DRAFTING...but really it isn't drafting...I guess it's better than calling it side-sucking, or side-screwing-up-the-other-drivers-air-flow.

Maybe just vacuuming lol?

 

[DanicaFreak]

Sounds like she got a piece of it.

oh man.......hope its not serious

 

[Mr Excitement]

oh man.......hope its not serious

Actually, they're fixing the damage that happened on the first pit stop.

Coming back in for 4 tires/packer.

 

[racefan41]

Maybe just vacuuming lol?

if it was, Danica would be up front

 

[*WEAVER*]

Bout time for the Dega Junkyard.

 

[Racer1930]

Look out for KyBu....he's driving the Snickers car and Halloween is getting close.....karma.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Was there another caution after Biffle wrecked or has this caution taken 15 minutes?

 

[Racer1930]

How long until the "Three Amigos" hanging out in the rear make their move???

I dunno, but somebody better go wake Joe Gibbs up from his nap.

 

[Acs]

Team Penske showing how to work together and lead at the front. Have fun at the back TRD.

And his boss at the time was a great plate racer as well

James Finch has won a restrictor plate race, yes he has! With Brad K.!!!!!!
