Cup RACE thread --- Watkins Glen

[Greg]

Chase has the worst crew chief of all time though! If he had the stuff Larson gets he'd be the GOAT instead of 2nd fiddle

Gustafson has done that boy dirty so many times. It's a crying shame.

 

[jaqua19]

Just admit for once that Larson has a habit of falling out of the seat despite his godlike talent

I've said it in every comment that he drove into turn 1 too deep and lost control of the car.

I've said all year that Larson is mistake prone and has bad issues executing. Let's not dismiss that because I'm not phrasing it in the preferred way.

He got a good enough restart and Elliott got bad enough of a restart that he probably could have cleared him without locking it up. But both HMS guys were afraid of the 22 and 16, and Kyle chose to ask Jesus to take the wheel. Inconsiderate and reckless to race that way with a teammate? Sure. Yeah.

Larson was supposed to expose Chase with this car though and run away with everything.

I ain't forget the pre-season slander.

Remember, Chase is the 4th driver at HMS

 

[Blaze]

Larson made a slightly dirty move but Elliott didn’t get junked like Logano did at Bristol 2020 or Blaney in Canada in 201?

Oh right, Chase would never.

Chase was wrong in them cases.

 

[gnomesayin]

How? Larson was locked up, Chase got fully used.

Indeed. It was telling and appropriate that Larson said twice that he wasn't proud of it. He knows what car control is, and that winning due to a lack of it is hardly impressive.

Just an observer here, I don't have a dog in the fight, and would have rather Dinger found a way to take them both to school.

It was literally the same move Chad used on Logano. Take our lumps and move on.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Raikkonen had a good run going before getting Chastained.

I didn't say they don't run well. I said they don't finish well. Over in the Kimi thread I gave him credit for hold his positions.

 

[Michfan]

I'd say 2nd but you could make an argument for #3. He damn sure isn't #1

 

[LARRY]

7 ringers. 6 wind up 30th or worse. This is why I don't expect much of drivers from other forms of racing. The records show they don't finish well.

Except Dan Gurney

Elliott picked the wrong lane using 20/20 hindsight. Larson said the same thing. He should know, he got booted enough yesterday..and that was the inside lane Byron was in all day long in Xfinity, the inside lane

 

[Musrat#2]

Folks here are okay with driving like that, when they don’t like the driver it happens to. But are up in arms when someone they don’t like does it. It’s ridiculous.

Calm down man it's just racing!

 

[Mr. Gregory]

Congrats to Kyle Larson. That was a good finish.

I haven't been feeling well this afternoon, and Jeff Burton almost made me turn the race off when he started SCREAMING about the car that spun into the gravel or with around 9 laps to go. I was like

I liked both Kyle's and Chase's post-race interviews. Kyle owned up to The Move, and Chase took the high road. As for my thoughts on The Move, check my sig.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That's a given, it's been proven for years. But people likes for them to show up..at least some people do.

I don't mind them, I just don't expect anything of them.

 

[jaqua19]

Very fair. Since you have more experience, can you give me some pointers?

Well we know Bobby drank some beer and cooked some meat

Nah, all I've read all year long is how Daniels is effing Larson over. I love ya @jaqua19 and I truly appreciate your fandom. Let's agree to disagree, and when the 9 ships him after this and Cali not a word, huh?

 

[Blaze]

Calm down man it's just racing!

Trust me, this is me calm lol. I just wish folks wasn’t bias. Not to much to ask

 

[BobbyFord]

So okay, its bad when Ross does it, or Kyle Busch, but its totally okay when larson does it to chase? Is that what im understanding? All other drivers are dirty as s&#% when they wreck for the win, but THIS is ok?

You new to NASCAR?

 

[AdoubleU24]

I hope we get an opportunity to have a discussion on here when the roles are reversed. Something tells me the yappers will be singing a different tune.

 

[StandOnIt]

My guy has 60 Cup wins and two championships. What do you need?

It would be nice if he would get a win once in a while instead of wrecking. lol

See I’m fine with you being okay with the move, because you always have the same attitude no matter who it is. That’s all I ask is people be the same no matter what.

 

[BobbyFord]

60 wins, grandpa.

We already seen it anytime Chase does it.

 

[StandOnIt]

60 wins, grandpa.

a sponsor would be nice also lol

 

[BobbyFord]

Yeah.
How many wins your driver got, pops?

 

[Magicmiler]

The 9 car occupant fanbase meltdown is the true measure of deflection..

 

[FLRacingFan]

They can’t drive real race cars.

Are they real race cars or porcelain dog bone

 

[Michfan]

Trust me, this is me calm lol. I just wish folks wasn’t bias. Not to much to ask

Sports fans are biased? Lol it's literally been going on forever. Dale Earnhardt used to get cheered for **** that got Jeff Gordon's car pelted with full beer cans.

 

[BobbyFord]

Yes

 

[BobbyFord]

Chase lost…OH GODS!!!!!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

60 wins, grandpa.

Cling to that as long as you can. With his options for next year, he's got 3-4 more tops before hanging up the helmet.

 

[Blaze]

So if Chase did what Larson did, you admit you would be **** talking Chase, yeah?

 

[StandOnIt]

Yeah.

Burp beer talking again

Spellcheck is your friend

It's all he has. It's a pity when others live vicariously thru others

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

As you typed that, Kyle spun again.

 

[Conover]

Raikkonen had a good run going before getting Chastained.

Elliot had a win going today before getting LARSONED.

 

[BobbyFord]

Burp beer talking again

Three beers? Sure. Did you want to answer the question?
The 5 was outpacing the 9 in the final laps. Keep crying though, you good at it…

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

It's all he has. It's a pity when others live vicariously thru others

If Loudon was my home track, I'd live vicariously through others too.

 

[BobbyFord]

Elliot had a win going today before getting LARSONED.

The 5 was almost a second faster toward the end

Cliff has made quite a few race calling errors. As for Larson? Overdriving, poor communication/car diagnosing, confidence, mentally falling out of the seat..there are all areas I've been very critical of this year, and even in this very thread throughout the race. But we can agree to disagree on that!

And when Chase dumps him, I can guarantee you that you wont see me bitching and moaning about it and will call it how it is. And you know what? I know damn well you know this

Unless you're suggesting that Larson will cry about it to the media about..in that case, yeah I'll admit being wrong on that one.
