Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

[TexasRaceLady]

I'm glad they didn't try restarting before the stage. Those are usually pooch screws.

So happy they didn't restart. Whew. Catastrophe averted.

Talladega is about half-way between the dot for Birmingham and the AL/GA state boundary, or a little east of the last "m" in "Birmingham."

Amazingly, a pocket of dry opened up in the middle of the large cluster of rain that passed over the track. Maybe the pocket of dry will continue to grow until the remaining blob of rain that's still heading for the track disappears...

Radar could be a bit misleading. That said, there's too much rain close to the track.

wow Hendricks with fast stops, front row. Reddick came out 8th

 

[Pat]

I love how Brad loves the flag.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Did anyone else just have a commercial cut into the race?

Sometimes, local broadcast affiliates will super-impose commercials over national network programming.

 

[jws926]

Made in NZ IIRC

Did not know that, what makes it even better, its something NASCAR did

* I kid cuz I care , Chris Myers.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Yea, I know, this was not one of those times ,it was cut in when they didnt want a cut in, the entire commercial didn't air, it was a , "oh ****" cut in

Two HMS Chevys on the front row...the World is in balance now.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Team Penske line up on the bottom.

 

[Pat]

Thinks Nascar dictates the start times. t

But it's hard to have better ratings when there is no race.. duh

 

[StandOnIt]

Sorry I lied.

 

[Nitro Dude]

Flo is starting to creep me out.

 

[jws926]

Sorry I lied.

They are still an amazing piece of technology that has had huge impact in NASCAR.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Talk about "pack racing".

They really are.

what in the hell is dibenidito doing pushing Kyle past his teammates.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

This is so nerve wrecking to watch

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Penske has answered my question about which teams have the discipline to stick together .

 

[jws926]

Bryons rear end looked at it was breaking lose in the tri-oval.

I think he’s won more rain shortened superspeedway races then anyone else.

 

[jws926]

Kenseth quietly running in 8th

And that push almost sent him to back

These cars are not stable when getting pushed.

Chase needs to learn to take advantage of when his teammates try to help him.

S o frustrating to see the 42 shut down that outside lane

 

[kkfan91]
