Things are going to change when they wake Joe Gibbs up and he gives the "go" signal....semi-joking but you know what is going to happen here shortly.

 

[DanicaFreak]

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

Coming back in for 4 tires/packer.

what happened on the 1st?

 

[Pat]

Plate racing has changed. 30 to go is too late to make a charge from the back these days. Time to get moving.

 

[racer8]

Just hangin single file for 40 more laps then the stupidity will set in.

 

[Racer1930]

I will bet...three of my best home-raised turnips..against all comers...that JGR goes 1-2-3 in this race.

 

[jws926]

And boom goes the 2

 

[TexasRaceLady]

2 done blowed up.

 

[oldschoolnascardude1]

Tough break for Keselowski. Love him or hate him, he drives these restrictor plate races harder than anyone.

 

[racer8]

Done blowed up

 

[ReturnTrip]

LOL

 

[Pat]

Wow.. Brad to the garage

 

[*WEAVER*]

See ya 2

 

[Racer1930]

Odd smoke from the #2 - changes everything -

 

[Michfan]

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

Have fun in the garage... hahahahhahahahhahaha

 

[DSquad48]

LOOOOL bye Brad

 

[Kiante]

Sucks for Brad, he had by far the best car today.

I don't think they will attack until they're 20 laps to go.

And Keselowski is out of the race and out of the Chase.

 

[Blaze]

wow! that's yuge! the best car all day is out

 

[34R7H130UND]

Here come the wrecks.

 

[oldschoolnascardude1]

The time to go is now, if you're going to do something. Once they get three wide, you're not passing anyone. Plus, this will most likely be the final stops.

 

[DanicaFreak]

brad wont advance

Yeah, I'd actually wait until after this wreck coming up

#NASCAR ... So Martin Truex Jr. (4 wins this year) and Brad Keselowski (4 wins) will not advance in this Chase.

 

[Racer1930]

This is why I appreciate Danica's team putting a reasonable engine package under her - nothing too big - so she doesn't get blown up late. I hope she has a top 15 today.

Man the chase really is brutal.

 

[NasNYG567]

This race is wide open now

 

[lisa]

Holy crap, took 4 and now kurt is way back.

 

[Mr. E]

what happened on the 1st?

Actually, it had to do with something that was affecting pit stops.

Stewart-Haas Racing ‏@StewartHaasRcng 23m23 minutes ago
The No. 10 team pitted 3 times under caution. The 1st 2 times to address an issue on the front that slowed stops & a 4-tire stop the 3rd.

 

[Clutch]

That really sucks for Mike Wazowski.

 

[jws926]

Yep, thats debris

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Yeah, I think that qualifies as legitimate debris

 

[ReturnTrip]

Would you rather blow an engine and miss the cut or get caught in a big wreck that wasn't your fault.

"Stay back, Greg Biffle's about to go all Days of Thunder on you," spotter Jason Hedlesky warns #CarlEdwards #NASCAR

 

[NasNYG567]

Damn NASCAR and their BS debris cautions

 

[DUN24]

Damn that 2 was easily the car to beat. Rough.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Truex and Kez being out gives me divide. Part of me thinks that's what the playoffs are like, the other part thinks that's not what racing is about

Idk I'm just am not sold on this elimination crap

 

[donthaveanickname]

35 cars on the lead lap. That's gonna be fun to watch. Hopefully.

 

[Mr. E]

I talked to Billy last night and he said they are running the same engine package as the 41 14 4.
