Cup RACE thread --- Watkins Glen

[Brentford]

It doesn’t matter when someone sucks on road courses when we race at 30 ovals

Back in the day, being in SVG’s position was insignificant. Now with six road courses plus a reset with 10 races to go, he’s golden. Back in the day, sucking on road courses was also insignificant. I don’t hate the player, I hate the game.

Too bad Zillich hurt himself yesterday, he might have had something for SVG.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

That should be her goal every week at this point tbh.

What a badass this dude is.

Bro was doing burnouts before second place crossed the line.

SVG put the whip to the horse now.

Dude made the rest of the field pick switches before whipping their asses.

Quietly log laps. Finished first car one down.

Gotta give my props to…
<——this guy! Another top 10, and on a road course. Used to be my guy couldn’t find a road course apex with both hands and a flashlight. NOW he’s racking up solid finishes. Right on Bubba!

Same with Larson having brake issues. 15 laps down he turned the fastest lap of the race, three tenths quicker than SVG's fastest lap.

Plus he was quick in practice.

Justin Marks hired SVG with the idea of him making the playoffs with a win on one of the RC's. I don't think he expected his rookie driver to have four wins before the playoffs.

I think improving on ovals is easier than mastering the road courses.

With the 22 playoff points, there's a legitimate chance SVG makes the final 8.

I think of the drivers who have excelled on road courses but never got the knack of ovals, especially those who came to them relatively late in a career. I acknowledge everyone is different.

Guys like Marcos Ambrose and Sam Hornish came from IndyCar, IIRC. SVG came from a car that is similar to Gen 7.

Will SVG ever have winning pace on ovals? That is yet to be seen, it's definitely a possibility though.

I'm pretty sure Marcos also came from SuperCars. I loves me some Dinger but after all his years in Cup and Xfinity, I still wouldn't use him in Pick Ems on an oval.

AJ can have decent runs at tracks where he has to use the brake like a road course such as Martinsville, but yeah…he, JPM, Ambrose and Hornish just never became decent oval races.

Robby Gordon was probably the best road course guy on ovals. He had that win at Loudon.

I sure hope so. The guy is a world class talent, and extremely likeable. He seems like a really good dude. I respect him for his ability, and the way he carries himself

Chase Elliott spotter thinks stage is over a lap before it actually was.​

He got the 3rd biggest cheer today at Watkins Glen behind Chase and Larson
