Cup RACE thread --- Texas

A really gorgeous day. Ready to see some racing.

 

[Nitro Dude]

Absolutely.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I like the casual look the announcers are sporting on pit road today. I have never been a fan of making them wear suites. If I want to see a suit and tie I will go to a funeral.

Great turnout today for a playoff race LOL. Yikes.

Even people in Texas hate what they've done to this place.

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Green Flag!

 

[34R7H130UND]

And single file

 

[AdoubleU24]

Chase passed Harvick before I could even blink

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Can’t believe NBC missed the drama of the 9 passing the 4 early.

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Chase already up to the top twenty.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

4 has lost 9 spots.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Racing at Texas. I want to be excited about this. I really do.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Chase passed Harvick before I could even blink

I went back to look where they both were lap 2 and he was already 10 spots ahead of him lol

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

That 9 may have passed inspection, but it sure as hell ain’t legal. (And I’m here for it.)

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I’m a bit puzzled. I was assured by the DBC guys that it would be hell every time the 9 tried to pass the 4.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Yeah, zero chance theyre on the up and up lol

You know what they say, if you ain't cheating you ain't trying.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Yeah, zero chance theyre on the up and up lol

But NASCAR is never gonna disqualify Elliott

 

[34R7H130UND]

You know what they say, if you ain't cheating you ain't trying.

Like Jr said: "id be pissed if I showed up at the track and we WERENT trying to cheat"

Or however he said it on DJD

 

[34R7H130UND]

I mean they dont disqualify anybody prerace for not passing inspection, so yes you are correct.

*Edit: they haven't that I'm aware of*

 

[aunty dive]

Conspiracy theorists never seem able to point in the general direction of the “cheat”.

Yeah, something like that. He wanted his team to bend and push as far as they could.

Bootie being the CC for Bubba and Wheeler focusing on car prep was a great idea for 23XI.

Bubba looks much more consistent now.

That high line is working, too. Good to see.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

18 penalty

Something clicked with them this year. Cant wait to see them with Kurts mentorship next year

 

[28car]

Yeah, zero chance theyre on the up and up lol

I was just going to say

No way the 9 doesn’t win today

 

[ChexOrWrex]

 

[2019PensekeFan]

KDB too fast on pit road.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Now, dont count them in just yet. They LOVE throwing races away

 

[AdoubleU24]

The restart package baby!!!

 

[34R7H130UND]

Didn't see that coming

 

[jws926]

Damn, the big one

 

[aunty dive]

Wallace got behind on his steering.

Wipes out a bunch of cheated up cars.

 

[Kiante]

What a mess.

23 got loose.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Bubba lost it.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Oof Bubba

 

[Blaze]

Dammit Bubba

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Good job by the 18 to tiptoe through that.
