Cup RACE thread --- Watkins Glen

[TexasRaceLady]

Ready to go racing!

Open at the green --- or thereabouts. LOL

 

[Michfan]

Go Carl!

Oh great, now the TRD cars have figured out how to use the windshield wipers for an aero advantage.

 

[jws926]

Oh yeah, going road course racing again

 

[DSquad48]

Beautiful aerial shot of the start

No, NBC just trying to start **** before he race even starts.

 

[Conner]

I haven't seen the windshield wipers mentioned before, why do they Gibbs cars have them?

 

[Kiante]

AJ is on a mission today.

Like I said, aero advantage, according to NBC. Unless Brian decided to stealth punish the TRD cars.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I'm a Tony Stewart fan...but please pan off of someone besides Tony Stewart.

 

[R Clarence]

Wonder why they ain't sold the “restart zone?” It's just begging to be someone's restart zone.

Maybe Clorox or something.

Jeff Gordon, sending the 3 car around, in Dale Jr's car.... xD

 

[Biggreen695]

Jeff bulldozing today.

 

[Speedbowl14]

First story of the race...A Dillon spins and Gordon's nose is destroyed...

So let's go to commercial

It's really mind boggling

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Gordon's car definitely has some serious aero issues....

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Nooooo, Jeff Gordon's car has damage already!

 

[*WEAVER*]

I'm gonna put my windshield wipers up like that next trip into town and see if I get there faster.

 

[ToyYoda]

Slap a wiper on it, it'll be fine.

 

[racer8]

88 has a parachute on the L/F

 

[Michfan]

I knew Larson was driving way too hard the first few laps

 

[Michfan]

Nice two commercial breaks in the first 12 laps

 

[ToyYoda]

Enjoying the NBCUSASN coverage today.

 

[BSDShoes]

I love this track, actually I love road courses altogether. These cars are Mega fast.

 

[Acs]

It's truly inexcusable. I can turn on the olympics right now and see fewer commercial breaks and they have 10X the viewership.

 

[Kyle18fan]

88 cars cheated up hood increases down force ............... counters JGR windshield wiper advantage

 

[BSDShoes]

You seen NBC Olympics opening coverage? Commercial every 3-4 mins.

0 commmercials on BBC and commercial every 15mins or so on CBC.

 

[SlicedBread22]

LOL @ Gordons jack man going to the wrong side of the car

 

[Speedbowl14]

One of the pit crew members was wiping off the nose of the 88 with a rag... I know a decent amount about this sport but I am lost on the reason why.

Probably dirt on the nose. thats the best I can come up with anyway

A clean car is a fast car

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Surprised there isnt more chatter about toyotas installing the wipers for... reasons.

prepping it for tape I imagine

Needs a battery sponsor. 'Interstate Restart Zone'.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I thought about that for a minute at first.. then I saw how it goes back and forth in the wind and figure they'll break before the end of the race lol

 

[jws926]

prepping it for tape I imagine

Thats probably the reason

 

[Reck]

I wonder how these drivers can speed coming off pit road during a caution with digital dashboards on.

 

[BobbyFord]

Thats probably the reason

Making sure the body is oil free to help bear bond adhesion

Right foot isn't listening to digital dash
