Cup RACE thread --- Texas

104* on my porch with room to go higher. Good day to sit inside and watch a race.
Have a feeling the track will be treacherous today.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Yep.... gonna be a long one... hopefully just spins and not too many hits.

Couldn't count out a quick shower either.

Bubba out there doing SIM laps (no traffic, pick your line).

 

[Conover]

So far going just as expected….one lane…passes when obviously faster but mostly round and round…

Dillon had just left the pits. Draw your conclusions.

 

[Spotter22]

In my 60 years I cant recall ever seeing the tire separate from the rim

 

[StandOnIt]

That's a big crash?

 

[nascarwoman]

What a time to get home and turn on the race. Dillon in the wall.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is that still a 4-week vacation when it happens on the track?

 

[Spotter22]

Lugnut speeding under caution

 

[Spotter22]

That's a big crash?

you didn't say it right, ITS A BIG CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Gerbils say Ty Dillon asked why didn't he stay out and put everyone a lap down.

Because you'll run out of gas, stupid. That's why you're where you are.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Here we go again. Not sure if Bowman got into McD first.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Looked more like McDowell didn't know they were 3 wide? No?

 

[Speedbowl14]

10 is lucky if the suspension isn't F'd

 

[Spotter22]

@aunty dive just removed his cowboy hat and called it a day

 

[Spotter22]

How about ole Legacy right now? Pretty sporty

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Your weekly RW(sb)R caution.

 

[jws926]

Weekly RWSBR caution

 

[TexasRaceLady]

What's with the tires coming off the cars? Are the crews getting sloppy?

 

[Speedbowl14]

Well

There's your .0001% chance occurrence of the day. 2 loose wheels in 10 laps.

 

[Spotter22]

Boys! Vacation isn't for a couple months! Looks like some are gonna get a head start

 

[nascarwoman]

Is the problem with the lost wheels because of the single lug nut?

 

[Brentford]

Todd ready for next season! Still feel bad he's being put in the junk 51 car for several races this year.

 

[Spotter22]

OK, WTF??? That's 2 in a row where the tire actually comes off the wheel. Disturbing

 

[Efisher131]

How about ole Legacy right now? Pretty sporty

They found something the last 6 weeks or so

 

[Spotter22]

Is the problem with the lost wheels because of the single lug nut?

No, the problem is the installation.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is the problem with the lost wheels because of the single lug nut?

The problem is with that single nut not being tightened adequately. Human error, not a design flaw.

 

[SeventyGTX]

I say go back to the old wheels and but this nightmare to bed.

 

[Speedbowl14]

They were probably done anyway. He slapped the inside wall hard.

Well considering they all run the same stuff, its not junk. They don't have the luxury of hiring 20 engineers
