Cup RACE thread --- Texas, Rd. 2

[TexasRaceLady]

Green track, cooler temps could make for some very interesting first laps.
Open at the green. Or earlier, if I get antsy. LOL

 

[TexasRaceLady]

GREEN!

Almost didn't make it thru Turn 1.

 

[DewChaser988]

It's time for a Lone Star shootout, since we are in Texas after all...so YEEHAW!!

 

[jws926]

Here we go

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

A Texas Sized Boogity and despite prior suggestions we still have a race thread. Thank goodness for that

 

[aunty dive]

Nice afternoon for an automobile race.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Didnt learn from yesterday

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Byron’s paint scheme looks like like a JG Pepsi scheme if you glance fast. Had to do a double take.

 

[Thegeneral23]

Did truex have to start from back??

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Did truex have to start from back??

Yes, engine change this morning.

 

[Thegeneral23]

Yes, engine change this morning.

Thanku

 

[DewChaser988]

Hamlin's losing an engine

 

[Thegeneral23]

And where is Kyle Busch spotter at?? This spotter he has today is annoying

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Tire. And Bowyer, too

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Rough start for the 14

 

[SeventyGTX]

Funny how the camera is never on the leader if he's not in their precious playoffs.

Smoke looked blue for a second, guess my eyes were playing tricks on me again

 

[ToyYoda]

Harvick’s in the shot now, so we’ll get to see Blaney.

It isn't race coverage, it's playoffs coverage. It sucks.

 

[SeventyGTX]

It isn't race coverage, it's playoffs coverage. It sucks.

Exactly

 

[DewChaser988]

Still hate this format

 

[DewChaser988]

Boring races like this exactly why we need less 1.5 mile tracks and more short tracks and road courses.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Chevy should be embarrassed for fielding these turd buckets.

The stands look like they agree with you

 

[TexasRaceLady]

4 speeding on the first pit stop? Geez.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Now that's a tire rub!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Roush looking good early....Chevy out to lunch thus far. Have they done anything as a manufacturer to help Chase? He’s all they got left. It’s a Ford Brigade the first stage

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Rick Allen isnt even watching the race.

“Blaney catching up to Logano”

No you *******, the 22 just passed the 12 and is pulling away.

“Blaney catching up to Logano”

No you dipsh!t, the 22 just passed the 12 and is pulling away.

Right? He had me confused for a minute there

 

[StandOnIt]

They had a cat when Hamlin got bumped, but haven't said a thing about series leader KDB coming up from the back. Too busy babbling about points with 250 laps to go.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Right? He had me confused for a minute there

I know we can “just put it on mute” but they have got to try to be that ignorant.

He’s watching an NFL game. I’ve had just about enough of Rick, The Hipster, Screamin Burton, Running Down a Dream and Front Stretch interviews. I am beyond ready for NBC to be done with their coverage this year.

 

[Taco]

Fords look like they have 50 more horsepower.

Next year let's just have Jr and have them train Letarte to do play by play. Great chemistry and they'll be able to both have time to get a word in.

 

[ToyYoda]

The NBC guys literally just said “points” 8 times in a 20 second span. Glad this ain’t a drinking game.

 

[kyle18fan]

They probably have about 20 or so to their favor

LOL......never thought I would ever look forward to DW.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ever watch a football game and see graphics about how points are awarded? Didn't think so. Why is that, do you suppose?

 

[Thegeneral23]

Ok it’s fixed! It will be a battle between harvick and Busch for the finish.. can’t wait lol

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Trying to meet that 1,000 word minimum research paper.

“Drivers that need the most points have to win a points race to make it in based on the points of winning.”
