Cup RACE thread --- Texas, Rd. 2

[ToyYoda]

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

I think they’re already there.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I share the frustration with the hype, but I have to remember that at least I can see the race.
I just let the commentary go in one ear and out the other ---

 

[Ilovedthe90s]

They probably have about 20 or so to their favor

Why would ford have more horsepower?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bayne hanging tough in 12th, Stenhouse in 11th.

Why would ford have more horsepower?

You should probably ask the engine builders that question. I could also ask you why would the Fords handle better ? Why would the Fords have better aero ?

 

[Ilovedthe90s]

Please race do not be a snoozefest.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Please race do not be a snoozefest.

Should have asked that about 75 laps ago.

 

[StandOnIt]

wake up, restart coming up

 

[gnomesayin]

It is interesting to hear them calling attention to how much off throttle time there is in the corners.

 

[ToyYoda]

Please race do not be a snoozefest.

Don’t worry, Jeff Burton’s voice will be the snooze alarm that will keep us all awake.

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.

I’ve enjoyed Jr’s work this year, he’s been pretty damn good imo. Hope they don’t ruin him.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

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

There’s no playoff points in the nfl, you win enough games you get into the playoffs, such a simple concept.

I'd like to see Jr and Gordon in the booth at the same time

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’d be okay with Rick, Jr and Letarte. But we all know that’ll never happen

 

[StandOnIt]

Jr could talk a hell of a lot slower for me. sounds like he was vaccinated with a phonograph needle

 

[AdoubleU24]

They ruined this place

I was just asking. 20 horsepower is a big difference.

 

[DSquad48]

NASCAR confirmed they sent the 48 to the back to start in error

Such incompetence.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Mmmmmmm.. Tacooooooos

 

[kyle18fan]

I was just asking. 20 horsepower is a big difference.

That is very true, my number may not be accurate. Ford has something going on though

 

[Bobw]

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

It's not??

 

[kyle18fan]

I'd like to see Jr and Gordon in the booth at the same time

As long as I don't have to hear them

 

[SlicedBread22]

It's the drivers

 

[ToyYoda]

It's not??

We’re still conscious, so it must not be.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I potted up some tulip bulbs at the break. What did I miss?

 

[gnomesayin]

I'm so convinced that these guys are in awe of a damn 7-Eleven.

Maybe Rutledge could give us a tour of the restrooms during the next stage break.

 

[lisa]

7-11 is a store, Burton. Good lordy.

 

[StandOnIt]

points

 

[ToyYoda]

HAVE YOU SEEN THAT NEW BLUEBERRY SLURPEE???!!! AND THOSE ROLLER HOT DOGS THAT ARE 2 FOR $1???!!!!

 

[kyle18fan]

It's the drivers

No, it isn't the drivers

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

They should have reconfigured TMS into a roval figure 8. Butts in seats. Pretty good restart here, Kurt trying to get him some

 

[ToyYoda]

Byron had a glitch ON HIS COMPUTER!!!!

 

[Ilovedthe90s]

I love the sound of those screaming engines!

 

[StandOnIt]

JJ's horseshoe hit Byron

 

[SeventyGTX]

Johnson ran out of talent and the 24 got into him.

 

[ToyYoda]

Jimmie’s car has driven like a 2-wheel drive pickup in an ice storm all year it seems like.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Johnson ran out of talent and the 24 got into him.

Nah, I was back by then. I did get pansies put in over the bulbs during the yellow.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Go Hendrick! Lol

 

[StandOnIt]

at least we will get a lap or two of racing before back to original programming

 

[ReturnTrip]

Never thought I'd see the 48 and the 24 in such a sad state.
