Cup RACE thread ---- Talladega

[Dr_B_UNC]

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

I think the Camaro nose simply cannot push like the Ford. That point is terrible for it, and other make drivers do t want to work with them because of it.

48 blew a tire

Things seemed to have calmed down a bit. Although, it's clear there is some crazy closing speeds. Even running single file the cars are darting back and forth.

 

[Ventisca]

Poor Jimmie...

 

[FLRacingFan]

While we were away

 

[Madman88]

ahhhhhh a break from DW. dddddddooooooooouuuuuuuuccccccchhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Jarrett doing a good job in the booth for MRN

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

While we were away

That’s the pattern. Go to commercial, then I hear D’hondt say “DOWN DOWN DOWN!!!!” on app...

 

[KodiakRusty89]

There should be higher thresholds for damaged cars at 'Dega and Daytona.

 

[JBone88]

Joey bitching the other Fords won’t just push him all day. Get a grip.

 

[Blaze]

I want to get back to this track some day. I only been once, back in 2004. Saw Dale Jr win, was a good day.

 

[JBone88]

Larson and Busch breaking up the Penske party.

Joey bitching the other Fords won’t just push him all day. Get a grip.

He really is starting to develop a case of the Truex Syndrome since his title...

 

[Hotrod]

The "Survival 500" is well under way.
All my picks still on the track which is rare for me this year, still early

Earnhardt Jr car graveyard has room for more.

Jeff Gordon: "the key thing is having the air and you have to have a pusher to get to the front"

DW: "A Possum can't catch a rabbit on a windy day"

JG: "what?"

Sonoma can’t come fast enough...

cue caution in 5 4 3 2

 

[Madman88]

holy crap..wrecks are one thing, but missing pit stops???

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Looks like the lead pack... err, train, is about to catch a lagging train.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I remember when Ty won the stage DW, it incited a huge argument on this very board.

 

[Ventisca]

Mike Joy needs to shorten his cue cards -- all this driver/team-bio crap needs to be handled before the race, not during...

 

[Charlie Spencer]

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.

Yeah, so far it looks like most other Talladega races of the last 20+ years.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Am I a bad fan if I’m bored right now? Asking for a friend......

 

[ReturnTrip]

Talladega for a first start? Are you trolling?

it's his version on Ken Squire. it sucks

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m ducking for cover....Ty won another stage.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Dare I point out a second wasted stage point?

 

[Madman88]

Ty must have borrowed Austin's deck lid

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Pretty entertaining first stage. Token carelessness that took out some contenders, lots of side by side racing and a weird fuel mileage finish.

 

[jws926]

Talladega for a first start? Are you trolling?

I was under the impression you couldnt have your first start at a plate track

 

[donthaveanickname]

Apart from his stage wins, Ty Dillon never scored stage points this season.

 

[JBone88]

2 TIME stage winner Ty Dillon.

 

[StandOnIt]

Dare I point out a second wasted stage point?

[ToyYoda]

2 TIME stage winner Ty Dillon.

[Barbara Charles]

I'm trying Hot Pass Hangout today. We'll see how it goes.

 

[StandOnIt]

[DewChaser988]

Great pit stop for the #9

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Harvick not in a good mood.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]
