Cup RACE thread --- The All-Star race

[Jorge De Guzman]

These tire failures man...

Is it the single lug, the crews, or Goodyear making $hit products? Feels like we’ve had tire issues every week lately

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

He was damn near a full straight away behind KB it seemed like, how was he not told to stay high or something

Arca brakes. Absolutely no excuse for idiocy like that from Ross

 

[KTMLew01]

Move the All Star Race to Bowman Gray.

I'm watching Lucas Dirt.

 

[lisa]

Hmmm I wonder how that affects decisions on coming for tires?

 

[Spotter22]

Come on guys, you know why.

 

[kkfan91]

Only Chase would blame himself for being in that

No clue.

I can ask around, but I'm not sure what to think. I think its more of car setups, but I have no clue. I hate to point fingers, but something will come of this sooner than later.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I think so. They did said he was good anyways.

He didn’t answer at first, and Eddie asked again and sounded really concerned.

Old Chase showing up again, blaming himself for Chastain plowing him.

Ross spotter says he was watching the 12

 

[Spotter22]

Inept spotter ? Who knows..

It happens in a hand clap.

 

[lisa]

Poor guys.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Don't get why Ross's spotter didn't tell him to stay high. Yeah things happen fast but it seemed like there was time to avoid Kyle.

 

[Kiante]

Arca brakes. Absolutely no excuse for idiocy like that from Ross

Huh?

He's going almost 185 mph, what are you going to do there?

 

[Spotter22]

Arca brakes. Absolutely no excuse for idiocy like that from Ross

Whaaaat?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I think Kyle Busch is gonna have something for them in Charlotte next week.

 

[Kiante]

Ross spotter says he was watching the 12

Yep:

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Huh?

He's going almost 185 mph, what are you going to do there?

Just felt like there was ample time to miss him. The 18 could have stayed high too. Lots of blame to go round.

 

[StandOnIt]

Close to 300 feet per second. easily handled from my recliner and umteen replays with perfect 2020 hindsight.

 

[Magicmiler]

Solid interview from Kyle with no Martyrdom

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Whaaaat?

As I said, it felt like there was time to miss him, but that’s also why my fat arse is watching from the couch.

[Blaze]

I’ll take what drivers say over what we say, once you commit you’re committed. **** happens.

WTH, why did the 18 practically stop on the track? Maybe he couldn't turn into the pits?

 

[Spotter22]

Don't get why Ross's spotter didn't tell him to stay high. Yeah things happen fast but it seemed like there was time to avoid Kyle.

If Kyle held his line no harm but he came down though not fault of his own, its racing.

 

[lisa]

Huh?

Sprout wings and fly over him.

 

[BobbyFord]

Trying to save the car and get back around to the pits

 

[KTMLew01]

WTH, why did the 18 practically stop on the track? Maybe he couldn't turn into the pits?

That was my first though too. If he had just run right around the wall?

 

[DIDIT]

No! Managing tires should be part of the race. Didn't someone go the entire Talladega race with the same lefts?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Just felt like there was ample time to miss him. The 18 could have stayed high too. Lots of blame to go round.

18 couldn’t have done much more imo, with the line they run through the dogleg he winds up in the crosshairs at some point.

 

[DewChaser988]

Somebody's going to get killed because Goodyear can't make a tire worth a damn.

This is why NASCAR needs to open up the bidding rights for the new tire supplier. Maybe that will get Goodyear to get their heads out of their behind

Ummmmmmm flat tire?

 

[KTMLew01]

Trying to save the car and get back around to the pits

Didn't work too well.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Don't get why Ross's spotter didn't tell him to stay high. Yeah things happen fast but it seemed like there was time to avoid Kyle.

Watching the replay again, Ross had nowhere to go

Not in the racing groove!

 

[Spotter22]

You are moving a football field a second. Think about that

 

[KTMLew01]

Lucas Dirt about to drop the flag. MAVTv!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I’ll take what drivers say over what we say, once you commit you’re committed. **** happens.

I just hate seeing three of the best drivers in the sport take such wicked hits in a meaningless exhibition race, but that’s the nature of racing isn’t it? I realize that my stated position earlier isn’t rational or 100% reasonable.

 

[BobbyFord]

Not in the racing groove!

What should he have done?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I don’t blame the spotter of the 1 for that or Kyle Busch. Things happen fast, racing deal.

That would only make things worse. Lot of people were hurt back in the days of tire wars in nascar
