Cup RACE thread ---- Talladega

[ToyYoda]

what do we call the other one Goatee?

Greatest of All Time, except, everywhere.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Harvick not in a good mood.

Shots fired. Dang

 

[Racer1930]

Well the first heat race is over - now it's time for the semi-finals - in between we'll likely have a couple wrecks

 

[Spotter22]

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

No you can. He couldnt do his FIRST RACE on it.

 

[Ventisca]

Harvick not in a good mood.

Harvick wrecked the field to stay alive -- Once Upon A Time at Dega...

 

[Kiante]

Harvick not in a good mood.

Karma from wrecking folks on purpose a few years back.

 

[jws926]

No you can. He couldnt do his FIRST RACE on it.

Oh right, they use his other races from the other series, my bad, if it was his first race period he would have to have other starts in the Cup series before he could start a plate race.

 

[StandOnIt]

It's Haley's first cup start and it is at Talladega.

 

[Kiante]

Shots fired. Dang

That's what happens on plate tracks. Teams that don't have the opportunity to compete on the intermediates try to get the most they can from plate tracks. Can't blame them.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

D’Hondt and Gustafson were pissed at Byron there for going with 41 instead of 9. Chase didn’t say anything at least. As I said in another thread, I really don’t think the other teams at HMS respect the kid very much.

 

[jws926]

Shots fired. Dang

I am guess shots fired at Bubba maybe ?

 

[Racer1930]

No you can. He couldnt do his FIRST RACE on it.

Odd rule - first race on a short track and then Talladega? I guess they all have to get started somewhere though.

 

[DewChaser988]

Clean race so far, by Talladega standards, but still fun to watch

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I am guess shots fired at Bubba maybe ?

He didn’t name Bubba, but it was clear.

 

[Kiante]

Stenhouse alert.

 

[jws926]

He didn’t name Bubba, but it was clear.

Yeah

 

[ToyYoda]

Richard Petty’s 200 Cup wins, Jimmie’s 5 straight Cup titles, Kyle Busch’s 204 Cup/Xfinity/Truck wins, Ty Dillon’s 2 stage wins.......

 

[Ventisca]

Storytime with Larry Mac...

I can see it to be honest.

 

[Kiante]

That is some Carl Edwards esque sponsor placement by Larry Mac.

Just wait till Ty wins both stages in a race, that is going to be BIG!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Crank it up lmao.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That is some Carl Edwards esque sponsor placement by Larry Mac.

He's just reading what's handed to him. Would you prefer they went to a commercial?

No preference, I try not to moan and groan about the commercials too much.

 

[Spotter22]

wow . Great runs on the outside

 

[StandOnIt]

Damn the Fowd's are strong today

 

[Madman88]

ahhhhhh another break from DW. dddddddooooooooouuuuuuuuccccccchhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

wow . Great runs on the outside

It’s almost obscene how well the Fords draft.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Good racing so far, but I'm surprised it's that calm.

 

[Racer1930]

Just wait till Ty wins both stages in a race, that is going to be BIG!

Not sure if I can live that long

 

[jws926]

Damn the Fowd's are strong today

Yep, Fords and plate racing

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Liking Brad’s Snap-On scheme

 

[Ventisca]

wow . Great runs on the outside

Yup, but time for Big Pharma to sell some drugs!

Hooters to sell some Wings (and hope to slobs on barstools).

GEICO, Corollas...

 

[TexasRaceLady]

wow . Great runs on the outside

That was a strong move. Dang.

 

[Spotter22]

Hes run Superspeedways many times

 

[Kiante]

Regan made a great save in the middle of the tri-oval. He got really loose.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Well that was a bad commercial break for HMS

 

[Kiante]

You can't block anymore folks. Its harder to keep and retain the lead... Fantastic!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Wonder if Byron got a good talking-to... he’s been a loyal soldier since.
