Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

Jet dryers gonna out but it's still raining.

If it does get called, Bubba drove his butt to the front and put himself in position to take advantage of the opportunity that came with the crash and the rain.

This. Bubba didn't stay out on gas mileage or something. Bubba legit drove to the front and held it as long as he needed to.

Rick, the entire garage pull incident was more of a misunderstanding than a racially motivated threat.

I understand what happened and why his team reacted the way they did though. Alabama did have a rough history with race relations

 

[jws926]

Yeah but ALOT of people will never give him the credit he deserves for it.

Sadly true.

 

[Spotter22]

Why would these idiots bring that issue up?

FFS

Because they are a bunch of idiots. Rick Allen is a dope

 

[CamelPowered]

FFS

The "racial slander"?

Apparently he didn't get the memo that they solved that mystery.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Sad but true

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

At this point they're just milking more commercials and selling more beer at the concession stands. FFS

Man Bubba came really close to getting involved in that first big wreck.

That was a squeaker.

I admit to hoping they get going again and someone else wins it.

I've been trying to watch some while I'm at work, and every time I tuned in, saw a Hendrick car getting in a wreck. Bowman has had some awful luck these past couple months

How many cars have to wreck due to exactly what happened before these drivers realize they can't push that hard on a leading car. This just sucks so much for Bowman. His ill handling cars he has been driving most of the year already had him in a bad spot and now Chase just made it even worse for him. This shi-t is so frustrating.

 

[Magicmiler]

I wonder why Bubba's not hanging out with his team at the war wagon...

FWIW, Stenhouse had a full second or two after Chase's bump to not get into the 48 so hard. That was a product of the package. This crap is what NASCAR wants

 

[aunty dive]

Shut up, Gluck.

Because he's probably on the edge of a panic attack and is walking it off? Lighten up man

 

[Hawaii808]

I'm more nervous now waiting for a outcome then I was when they were 3 wide beatin and bangin.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Not a fan of them using wrecks to sell tickets

I admit to hoping they get going again and someone else wins it.

Only reason I'd want that is that Bubba would still have a very good shot at it and Chase needs more points.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Call the race while Facebook is still down NASCAR.

Jet dryers gonna out but it's still raining.

Kind of like drying off while still in the shower

 

[SlicedBread22]

Looks like the rain has stopped

 

[REBS31]

Looking at the radar, seems like the rain should end soon and there’ll be decent break where they might could get it in, probably depends on how long it’ll take to dry.

 

[carolinabuff]

Assuming it gets called then NASCAR will be hoping like hell that Bubba's car doesn't fail post-race inspection

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I respect what they're trying to do with the "First African American to win since Wendell Scott" talk, but I think the biggest compliment you could pay Bubba is to call him a race winning Cup driver, not a "Black" or "AA" winning Cup driver. Am I misguided? If so, I will gladly retract and I don't want to put words in Bubba's mouth.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Air Titans going to work.

Um, I was just wondering about the "team" thing. No need to lighten up.
I know I myself would panic at 190 mph for a few hours.Fortunately, he didn't have one of those while racing.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Nascar does not want to seem like they calling favs

 

[34R7H130UND]

I'm legitimately surprised theyre even attempting to dry the track.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

The weather is a Bubba Wallace fan.

 

[SlicedBread22]

As much as I'd like to see Bubba get his first win I'd prefer to see it happen after a full length race.. I only say that because Joey's first win almost kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.. although unlike Joey.. Bubba certainly earned it if he does get it.

No snark intended. It's always hard to read the real meanings of posts about Bubba. My bad, man. I'm not even a Bubba fan but I recognize that this would be a significant moment for the sport.

I'm not a big Bubba, Denny, or Jordan fan.

Jordan was always direct competition to my favorites in b-ball; I held a grudge
