Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

[TexasRaceLady]

Getting this up now, before I start pacing and forget.
Wish I was at the track, I don't get the jitters nearly as bad. LOL

Open at the green.

 

[jws926]

Lets do some plate racing

 

[DSquad48]

Look at the empty stands! NASCAR is dying!!!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Let's get this show going!

 

[SlicedBread22]

Too many Boogitys!

 

[Blaze]

Do we make it even 10 laps without a wreck?

 

[jws926]

Three wide already

 

[SlicedBread22]

Look at the empty stands! NASCAR is dying!!!

 

[ToyYoda]

Too many Boogitys!

Six boogities means it's a big deal.

 

[jws926]

I think it they will make it to 10 laps

 

[ToyYoda]

Hamlin dropping to the back. His pit crew deserves better.

 

[Efisher131]

Look at the empty stands! NASCAR is dying!!!

To be fair, 10 years ago it held double the people and sold out.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I like how they're sort of fanning out up front and guys are just racing where they please

 

[StandOnIt]

nothing's fair in empty seat counting or racing.

 

[AdoubleU24]

24 looking strong, made some nice moves to this point

 

[Michfan]

It's nice seeing Ricky's career rejuvenated

 

[Blaze]

I think it they will make it to 10 laps

Kind of shocked they did. They was up on it already. They will be a big wreck during this stage I'm sure.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Too many Boogitys!

ONE is too many.

 

[StandOnIt]

Stenhouse has got his teeth in the bit and he ain't letting go of the lead

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What was all that stuff being blown around on the front stretch for the first few laps? They couldn't start with at clean track?

 

[jws926]

Kind of shocked they did. They was up on it already. They will be a big wreck during this stage I'm sure.

Looks like they kind of settled down a bit

 

[ToyYoda]

Who threw up all over Keselowski's car today?

 

[Michfan]

These plate races are a lot easier to watch since Carl retired, way less nerve-wracking, now it's just exciting

 

[jws926]

Larson, there is a wall there

 

[Acs]

A$$hole harvick, let your ford teammatin. Idiot trying to wreck Stenhouse

There weren't any big ones in the last Talladega Cup race. I would be surprised if that happens again but it's obviously possible.

 

[Michfan]

And Jamie has channeled his inner 2017 Daytona 500 self

 

[jws926]

And Jaime Mac picking up where he left off at Daytona

 

[Michfan]

Lol really

 

[JBone88]

Larson with a flat

 

[jws926]

He pancaked the right side pretty good

 

[SlicedBread22]

Divers better keep an eye out for Kahne in the pits

 

[ToyYoda]

A$$hole harvick, let your ford teammatin. Idiot trying to wreck Stenhouse

Drove a Chevy for 16 years, old habits and whatnot.

 

[DUN24]

Well that's ******.

 

[Blaze]

Didn't have the stage racing then either. We'll have a lot more races within the race last time.

 

[jws926]

A$$hole harvick, let your ford teammatin. Idiot trying to wreck Stenhouse

Yeah, um ok, he was not trying to wreck him

 

[StandOnIt]

Harvick acting all surprised..heh heh.. never lifted

 

[jws926]

Divers better keep an eye out for Kahne in the pits

That is kind of funny right there.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Great race so far (minus the stupid caution). It reminds me of a late 90's/early 2000's plate race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Sorry, NASCAR, I didn't see anything that justified a caution. Was this for debris or Larson?
