[Professur]

Strategy? Muhahaha

 

[racefan41]

[ReturnTrip]

That straight after the carousel is dangerous...seen too many big wrecks there.

 

[Pat]

sigh

 

[Reck]

Wow all I saw was orange. Thought for sure Gordon in there. Hard hits.

Newsflash: Auto racing is inherently dangerous.

 

[Professur]

That was definitely NOT a Safer barrier.

 

[ToyYoda]

Damn, Stenhouse got pinballed. Hope he's ok.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Is patrick in that mess??? pelase god no

 

[jws926]

Damn, Stenhouse got pinballed. Hope he's ok.

Yes he did

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Gordon just missed that one


Stenhouse took a ride similar to Gordon's a few years ago.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Ouch!

 

[Blaze]

Always hard hits on that part of the track

 

[JBone88]

Seems we have a huge wreck in that corner every time we come here.

Hard hit for Stenhouse.

Newsflash: Auto racing is inherently dangerous.

Especially at a track with 1950's safety features, like armco barriers 2 feet away from the edge of the racing surface around the entire track.

 

[carolinabuff]

That was definitely NOT a Safer barrier.

There's very few (if any) safer barriers at this track

 

[BobbyFord]

That was all Stenhouse

 

[Speedbowl14]

There's very few (if any) safer barriers at this track

Very few road courses have SAFER. But no other non-street course has walls so close to the track.

Moving the walls back another 50 feet on both sides would do a lot more for this track instead of SAFER.

Move the Armco back 20 feet on both sides and put safer barriers there.

 

[DSquad48]

And so continues the trend of pretty abysmal finishes for the 48

 

[TexasRaceLady]

That was all Stenhouse

Sure was.

 

[R Clarence]

That was all Stenhouse

It was for love...........

Patrick had lost 17 positions already.

 

[jws926]

Least they are locked in the Chase

 

[BobbyFord]

Damn, didn't look like that wall moved at all.
What year is this?

 

[JBone88]

Ricky flat out lost it. Tough break. Hard hits for everyone.

Gotta do something about the armcos on the section of the racetrack. Lucky that no one has been hurt over there the last few years.

50 feet sounds even better.

[VaDirt]

NBC Sports has changed their NBC Sports app (Roku) to the Olympics app. No NASCAR at all on it, only Olympics.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Just a program alert,

Ive read that MRN & Orange Cone both reporting that Bryan Clauson just passed away.

I hope they are wrong. Looking for a family statement.

 

[BobbyFord]

This wreck wouldn't have transpired if not for the BS loose tire on pit road caution.

 

[DanicaFreak]

DId the 10 pit on that last yellow?

 

[ToyYoda]

Damn, hate to hear it.

 

[ReturnTrip]

The Olympics are gonna be over by the time this red flag is up.

 

[racer8]

Damn, didn't look like that wall moved at all.

In slo mo I could see it move...............................about an 1/8th of an inch.

 

[ToyYoda]

The 2020 Olympics are gonna be over by the time this red flag is up.
