Cup RACE thread ---- Talladega

[machinistman3]

Xfinity drivers managed the race better than that ! These guys never learn

Give a hand to Matt Tifft in the 36 that was some nice avoidance

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Well why did Blaney block Bubba like that, seems like maybe he lost it. The runs these cars get look more powerful than the past.

 

[DSquad48]

They call that a Daytona 500 Runner Up move

 

[donthaveanickname]

There was some luck involved this wasn't half the field.

 

[Pat]

Aaaaaaaggggggggggh! You can't slide it to the left. Dang it! Bowyer and Harvick in it.

 

[Madman88]

blaney would have been toast in years past

 

[Biggreen695]

Has anyone had orange vanilla coke? It sounds vile.

You're 110% correct the dip spit that's in the bottle now would probably be better than the coke itself.

I haven't had one but if you Vodka in it....Oh gracius...sheet metal damage early

 

[slash14]

welp...that sucks...

 

[SlicedBread22]

Ouch

 

[DewChaser988]

That looked like a typical Talladega incident, nobody to blame

 

[Blaze]

Why do a lot of times, it seems the Cup guys wreck the fastest? ARCA and Xfinity lasted longer before wrecking.

 

[JBone88]

Bubba badly needs a good run. Not what that team needed.

Well other then the splitter through the nose

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Having this many aero compromised cars out there so early seems like a recipe for trouble.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Five laps until the next debris caution.

Nah, That one was on Bubba. Pulled a Stenhouse running like it’s the last lap on lap 10.

 

[slash14]

r.i.p 4 car

 

[DewChaser988]

Harvick's car's stalled, he's probably done

 

[Racer1930]

Give him time - he'll likely start a big one later

Could be the start of a great new aero package. Every must wreck your car once. Then we line up and race

 

[racer8]

Big un # 1

 

[machinistman3]

They say all the time you can’t win it early but you sure can lose it. I guess they missed that meeting.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Back to Twitter for Bubba.

Right? Let’s beat the fenders and splitters off and go racing

 

[JBone88]

Part of Bubba’s issues as a driver. He’s aggressive to a fault. He knows they need a good showing today and tried to do too much.

 

[StandOnIt]

Harvick to the garage

 

[jws926]

Well the back is a safe place for them

 

[Blaze]

I would laugh that Kyle got a speeding penalty, but Chase did also so now I'm all types of emotions.

 

[machinistman3]

Aww Chase gets his penalty early.

 

[FLRacingFan]

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Chase’s speeding penalty was almost intentional. Alan had him hard launch to experiment with timing line.

 

[Switchback]

I was ignorantly hoping to see something different today but I guess pack racing will always be pack racing. Survival is the only thing that matters.

 

[machinistman3]

This blocking will cause another one.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Aww Chase gets his penalty early.

They were repairing fender so they were going to be in the back anyway. That’s why Alan had him try hard launch from stall. They discussed it ahead of time on radio.

 

[jws926]

That is what starts most of them, the useless blocking so early in the race.

 

[AdoubleU24]

The Chevy's always say they have a plan but their execution is always dreadful

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m bummed Bubba can’t run better, I hope he hangs onto the 43 ride for the rest of the year.

Kinda like "Cheat and we'll see if we get away with it"
