Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

[TexasRaceLady]

Not sure how far it will get, but ready to go racing.

 

[Ford 222]

Is there a delay?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is there a delay?

Liquid sunshine.

 

[Ford 222]

Liquid sunshine.

Great. Do they have an estimated time of green flag?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Great. Do they have an estimated time of green flag?

I don't know. I'm watching birds on the deck and monitoring the pre-race thread.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Great. Do they have an estimated time of green flag?

Not sure, but cars are heading to pit road.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Not sure, but cars are heading to pit road.

I hope they dried it first. Nothing dumber than starting under yellow while pit road is blown.

Bold move showing races from when they were actually really good…

Bold move showing races from when they were actually really good…

Even bolder move when they have Rick, Dale and Jeff commentate the race on top of superior commentary.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Covering them back up. this thing isn’t happening today

 

[HoopsCoach]

See everyone Monday.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Covering them back up. this thing isn’t happening today

Precipitation in turns 1&2. Track is changing colors.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Covering them back up.

Thanks for the update. I was dangerously close to going inside.

I'm rooting for a Talladega finale, just this sham of a championship format can be exposed for the total farce it actually is.

The championship to be awarded to the first driver to 'Ricky Bobby' over the line?

 

[Nitro Dude]

The covers are coming off of the cars.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I'm going to be wearing my tv remote out today between the Rams game and this race.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Another Joey Logano interview.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

About to waste laps under yellow arent we.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

About to waste laps under yellow arent we.

This ain't yer first rodeo, is it, cowboy?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This ain't yer first rodeo, is it, cowboy?

If you put it in fast-foward it looks like they are racing.

 

[Ford 222]

I don't know. I'm watching birds on the deck and monitoring the pre-race thread.

Ok thanks. Yeah recording it so this delay really screws me up.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ok thanks. Yeah recording it so this delay really screws me up.

A couple of long cautions or a red and this sucker won't go the distance today, assuming they get started.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Engines fired.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

See everyone Monday.

Gonna be awfully lonely here on Monday.

 

[HoopsCoach]

Gonna be awfully lonely here on Monday.

Fine with me if they get the race in today.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

They’re really starting this? When are they talking about stopping for darkness?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They’re really starting this?

See all those people in the stands?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

They’re really starting this? When are they talking about stopping for darkness?

Top of turns 1 & 2 are still kinda wet and the apron is soaked.

Either they are gonna just ride them at pace speed until the track fully dries or this is about to get super sketch.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

See all those people in the stands?

I honestly thought no way when they lost 1&2, so I switched to football. Checked back and they’re pacing.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Tracks gone again

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Why wait until the track is dry? They're all gonna wreck anyway.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pouring in the tri-oval now, huge oof.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

See all those people in the stands?

See all those people leaving the stands?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

See all those people leaving the stands?

Last minute potty breaks.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Alan: "sounds like they're going to ambitiously leave you out there a bit. Save what you can (fuel)"

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Just gonna leave the cars out there? Lol
