Cup RACE thread --- Texas

Great advice from Jeff Burton: "To pass a car you have to find a way to put your car where that car isn't." Hmm, I thought you just had to run up to that car and knock it out of the way

 

[harkin]

Anytime they show the running order without the time gaps drives me nuts.

 

[Kiante]

Good question..lets talk about the fuel valve.

I had no clue man, I'm outside cutting grass.

Just happened to come in to cool off and noticed it.

 

[BobbyFord]

iRacing replays. I rarely say this but OMG.

I hope they had the mics muted

Larry Mac is sitting at home laughing his ass off about now.

You can do it that way too.

We now know why Steve is in the booth.

This race desperately needs some tire wear.

 

[StandOnIt]

They stuck a piece of tape on Kyle's car.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I hesitate to say this but Hambone has a much better handle on his pit road speed this year.

“Buncha traffic stacked up here infront of Kyle Busch”

Lol Steve that would be Chase Elliott, a position spot.

 

[BobbyFord]

This race desperately needs some horsepower.

 

[StandOnIt]

LeTarte with another profundity..when they have to make an adjustment on a pit stop the stop WILL be slower..thanks Steve.

 

[harkin]

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen em give it a half turn or two before they dropped the jack before.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

This race desperately needs some tire wear AND horsepower.

^ for BOTH of you

#10 should have an uncontrolled tire. Literally right infront of the camera. Non-over the wall crew member had to catch it out by the garage entrance.

Let’s see if they tag him for it.

If there isn't a rule about using the pit entrance that way, there should be.

I don't think they will, I noticed that as well.

All for the show.

 

[antman12]

what a move by 10.

 

[Kiante]

All for the show.

All I have to say is be consistent. If its out of the box, its out no matter if a crew member gets to it.

If its outside, its too late because that tire was clearly out of control.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Almirola flew right by KDB and Jones.

[Kiante]

Oh my goodness Kyle cut Poole a massive break.

 

[BobbyFord]

This race is so exciting we’re talking about Brexton Busch...

 

[machinistman3]

This package doesn’t help the racing on this track. Very little side by side racing. Funny how the series they tinker with the most usually produces the worst race of the the three series.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

“You’re all ****** fired!”

 

[Kiante]

Maytag Man Blaney wins stage 2.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Blaney and Kurt racking up the stage points for me this week!

 

[jaqua19]

Blaney has been better than the 9. He's run top 3 at every single speedway race this year. Has a dominant win, and I believe is higher in the pts. To start the season, Chase had more pace but Blaney definitely has more pace this year than the 9. Up to this point.

Can totally change though.

Blaney is kicking butt so far

Saw it.

Cringed.

 

[JJ_14]

My pick 'em Aric doing pretty good in 8th. I'm hoping for a top 5 outta him.

 

[carolinabuff]

Truex is out of fuel

Blaney needs to break out some wins here. He's run WAY too good this year have just one.

Blaney could be a dark horse pick for the title this year.

I think NBC has missed more then they show..They are asleep, the PRN broadcast is talking about all kinds of battles back in the field..here we show Truex not running out of gas for 10 laps.

Pray it ends well.

Straight up incorrect. It’s ok, everyone knows about your blinders against Elliott.

Chase Elliott: W 1, T5 7, T10 9. Laps lead: 451. Running at finish: 15

Ryan Blaney: W1, T5 7, T10 8. Laps lead 347. Running at finish 14

They are separated by 5 points in P3 and P4. A .1 difference in average finish separates them.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Truex is out of fuel

Doesn't seem to have hurt him. He's 7th after the pit stops.
