Cup Race thread - Watkins Glen.

Smoke has cracked the top-ten.

Looks like he has a 5th place car right now.

 

[Ditzmeister]

Jeff said his car was junk.

 

[Racer1930]

OMG...did they just say rain 20 minutes out?

What was that they said about guys with penalties only finishing in the top-ten twice at WGI?

 

[Ditzmeister]

I hope not.

The solution to the drought is evidently NASCAR racing.

 

[Ditzmeister]

Harvick is tight in the s'es.

 

[FenderBumper]

Ambrose must be betting on finishing the race even if it does rain.

It's fun watching everyone get the hell out of the way when Tony gets to them.

It's not a race-ending rain.

That's because they know not to block. Smoke's a man of his word.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Harvick is tight in the s'es.

He needs to quit whining and drive the damn car, or let Delana drive the car.

 

[Johali]

Just checked the radar, small scattered cells in the area of the track.

Did Rusty just say 'smornish?

Who knows? We need a Rusty-to-English translator.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The area of rain that's headed toward the track is small and not very heavy. And we've got a lot of time left, so if it were to rain, we'd have enough time to go back racing.

Kahne speeding penalty

Now that I think about it, this is a road course, so they could put on rain tires like they do in NW.

They wont. Apprently the cars have too much power for that.

Cup's never used rain tires (well, not since Japan in 1997)

 

[Ditzmeister]

My pick of McMurray this week sucked.

 

[Joniki]

If I didn't see the number 31 in the ticker I wouldn't even know he was racing today.

 

[Ditzmeister]

Truex Jr. looks to be out of gas.

 

[FenderBumper]

If I didn't see the number 31 in the ticker I wouldn't even know he was racing today.

Where has he been all year? If sponsorship was based on performance, he'd be gone.

 

[HoneyBadger]

If you look up "Bad week", you'll find Denny Hamlin's weekend at WGI.

 

[Racer1930]

It always amazes me when cars run out of gas on the track and it isn't at the end of the race

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

Another engine failure for JGR. They have to be getting a little irratated at TRD.

 

[BobbyFord]

Nice fuel calculation on the 56.

 

[HoneyBadger]

My pick of McMurray this week sucked.

I wouldn't have known he was racing all year. Time for him to retire.

 

[BobbyFord]

Early bonehead award to the 56 crew chief...so far

 

[Jeffrey00]

Not anymore in garage. Fuel cell issues.

 

[Joniki]

I wonder how long Caterpillar will stick around.

 

[Jeffrey00]

Yay Hamlin done!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Where has he been all year? If sponsorship was based on performance, he'd be gone.

He's keeping the seat warm for Austin Dillon who will keep the seat warm for Ty Dillon.

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

Now Carl will really have to be on a mission! Ran it out of fuel also.

 

[Joniki]

This is going to get really interesting.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Now Carl will really have to be on a mission! Ran it out of fuel also.

At least we know there will be some contact.

 

[FenderBumper]

This is going to get really interesting.

Kez may get schooled by the master.
