HARVICK LOST A LAP HES NOT GAINING CRUCIAL STAGE POINTS RIGHT NOW OMFG

 

[AdoubleU24]

Is it just me, or does the track look brighter than usual?

It seems like there is a huge light source somewhere shining on the track.

I always heard Dallas was a sunny place

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hey Dale Jr, can you tell us how much new tires mean here at Texas?

“It don’t mean ****!”

Easy there, Jeff.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Those Day of the Dead helmets are cool as hell

 

[Spotter22]

damn ole KB is rollin!

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I always heard Dallas was a sunny place

If that's the case, I should move to Dallas. Fort Worth is a cloudy and wet place.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Lord, forgive me but... go Kyle!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

9 flat tire. Welp, it’s been real.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Fuel only just cost the 9

 

[10-4]

Did I read that right? Bowyer's pit crew put 4 tires on in 12.5 seconds? Shaazaam!!

 

[AdoubleU24]

Every ****** year

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Lord, forgive me but... go Kyle!

He has spoken...

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Every ****** year

Only the 9 could shred a tire leaving a fuel only stop

 

[Spotter22]

Only the 9 could shred a tire leaving a fuel only stop

That was a problem in progress

 

[AdoubleU24]

Idk what they were accomplishing by fuel only anyways. They weren't getting the stage points and were gonna still have to pit for tires at stage end.

Alan gonna Alan

 

[StandOnIt]

Lord, forgive me but... go Kyle!

maybe they will try what they did at Indy.

 

[Spotter22]

So 19 - Fuel 4 tires
18 fuel only and less then a second lead. Good call 19

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

That was a problem in progress

Serious question: could it have been fine at speed but the burnout leaving the stall sped up the wear and shredded tread? When he was on radio my first thought was fender cut it dropping off jack in a freak thing.

Alan is not good at strategy

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Kyle only having 3 stage wins to this point seems unreal

 

[Spotter22]

19 clearly backed off the last 3 laps. Hes gonna be tough

 

[Charlie Spencer]

So 19 - Fuel 4 tires
18 fuel only and less then a second lead. Good call 19

And the 18 is going to have to take tires at the stage anyway.

 

[Turtle84]

gonna be a blood bath at Martinsville

 

[Spotter22]

Im actually suprised he never felt it. That tire was unwinding. Fender should not even hit when you drop the jack.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I have come to the conclusion that a Hooters scheme is cursed for an Elliott. *has flashback of Atlanta 1992*

I inject cherry Dr. Pepper in my pork butts before putting them in the smoker. With cherry wood, of course

 

[Spotter22]

Just nice calls all the way around by the 19. Im pretty stunned by the 18 strategy

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

He came over radio feeling it as soon as he gunned it past line ending pit road. Immediately said he didn’t feel it before. I’m with you, can’t believe you’d miss that.

 

[Spotter22]

whoa! Gotta try that

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I have come to the conclusion that a Hooters scheme is cursed for an Elliott. *has flashback of Atlanta 1992*

And tonight's colors are just plain ugly.

It's just amazing when you look at the guys that have consistently made the final 4 every year or most years. In Chase's case it seems like the most impossible feat on Earth.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chase has made the “round of 8” what, 3 times now? You only get so many windows.

It’s a breast cancer awareness scheme. I thought it was obvious especially with Hooters as a sponsor.

You can marinade beef ribs in Dr. P for a couple of hours.

Then make it pink, not purple

I thought maybe it was an early Halloween scheme. It's a good cause but it's still ugly.
