Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

I love these 1992 computer graphics to "educate" us

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

SMT data doesn't lie.

Yep. Not on Byron

 

[TheJester]

I would blame this instance more on team orders than anything. Both are equally bad for racing

Na man Truex was just trying to get the 43 to his bumper and it stacked them up on the outside.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Hmmm time for brake lights so drivers know when a driver is playing the truex game?

That would be way too big of a distraction. There's a lot of trail-braking here to keep bumpers close together abd there would be nothing but brave lights flashing from cars all lap

That treats the symptom and ignores the disease. Doctor NASCAR isn't interested in a cure anyway. Indeed, he doesn't think there's a problem.

Frig…

Guess it shows you there is another dimension to know when mastering super speedway craft

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

There’s our RWR S***box caution

 

[jws926]

Weekly RWSBR caution

 

[donthaveanickname]

Oh Cody...

 

[RacerrecaR]

Aside from Hendrick cars there is absolutely no clear favorite. Even they look beatable

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

And your weekly Blaney problem in pits and no acknowledgement from Fox

 

[Mispeedway15]

Sheesh RWR is so bad

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And your weekly Blaney problem in pits and no acknowledgement from Fox

Splitter repairs. Legit.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

All 4 HMS cars together. Team orders inbound

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Here comes the parade until 15 to go in race

 

[StandOnIt]

All 4 HMS cars together. Team orders inbound

It's called drafting partners

 

[BobbyFord]

-_ woo-woo!

 

[Greg]

With the 550 package ECR should just run crate motors

 

[donthaveanickname]

I think Denny is just hanging in the back to avoid possible wrecks. He's done that before.

 

[Kiante]

Erik is going to get sent by the end of this.

 

[TheJester]

Kinda hard to believe we only got around 21 cars left in this

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Erik is going to get sent by the end of this.

He’s been channeling his inner Stenhouse today

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Talking to drivers over the radio during the race is cringe imho

 

[Kiante]

Can't wait for a last lap dash to the finish, but this won't stop them from doing so.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is this your first pack race?

 

[carolinabuff]

So tires don't matter. Great

 

[Charlie Spencer]

So tires don't matter. Great

They haven't mattered here or Daytona for years.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

They’re not telling Chase how bad 2 is damaged

 

[Kiante]

Nobody:

Tow Truck Drivers: "It's an RWR car."

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

9 could have led them to the front but he wouldn’t shuffle the 2.

 

[BobbyFord]

2 is an air block

 

[TheJester]

Is this your first pack race?

na im just saying it doesn't feel like we lost as many cars as we did.

 

[Mike Crayne]

What happened to Bowman?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

What happened to Bowman?

HMS cars took 4 and got shuffled into pack

 

[Kiante]

Dale Jr breaking the rules.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Sigh, was hoping 9 and 5 would jump up with that top line forming.

 

[carolinabuff]

Outside lane is coming

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

9 has gone from best pusher in first two stages to a car that can’t close up.

 

[Blaze]

Drivers being smart and not pitting at the start of the pit window? They are learning.
