Cup "rainy" RACE thread --- COTA

[BobbyFord]

How much fuel does the #18 have?

Don’t matter. Pitting.

 

[HoneyBadger]

As usual, Ross Chastain gets TOO aggressive.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is clearly Chastain's best Cup race so far.

 

[Blaze]

Yeah. Ross straight just ran him off the track.

 

[Efisher131]

Larson closing in. Leads me to believe his road course struggles in the past were because of Ganassi and not him.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Cindric has dropped like a rock.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah. Ross straight just ran him off the track.

After Kurt went out of his way to race Ross clean.

When a guy goes out of their way to race you clean, you owe it to them to do the same.

 

[BobbyFord]

Cindric has dropped like a rock.

He’s not Cup material yet.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Don’t matter. Pitting.

and they’re still a few laps short, which is why I asked.

Need a yellow or back it waaayyyy down.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

How the Hell is the #18 two laps short??

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I can imagine Kyle screaming at his crew at the moment for being two laps short

 

[Blaze]

So two laps short. And two laps here is A LOT.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Two laps is more than 6 miles. Not sure if that's doable.

25 to go

6.8 miles

CGR are running 2nd and 3rd though

 

[racer8]

25 to go

A lifetime

 

[ChexOrWrex]

25 to go

23 to go for the #18 team.

 

[lisa]

Kurt hanging in there!!!!!!

 

[donthaveanickname]

25 to go

More than an hour.

Could be even longer. I'm enjoying the heck out of this race.

 

[gnomesayin]

I think this is excellent and I hope it rains (lightly) every year.

 

[nickp]

This race is very interesting? TV loves this!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I have a feeling it's about to get very, very wet at the track --- again.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Right front trouble on the #1 stop.

 

[BobbyFord]

23 to go for the #18 team.

And at least for everyone else

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Reading that the storm coming in about 10 minutes has chances for lightning and is a soaker.

Might have some gambles here to race to the caution.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

4.5 hours and there's a third of this left.

 

[Efisher131]

This is the longest race ever. 55 laps next year please

 

[nickp]

I think the NASCAR rain light needs to be moved from the back window to somewhere centered on the back end. It’s hard to see. F1 is centered on the back of the car

 

[donthaveanickname]

More rain means less on-throttle time so this might help KDB

 

[Kiante]

42 slow on the right front.

 

[BobbyFord]

Let’s take notes and not do this again.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

This is the longest race ever. 55 laps next year please

Take out that slow hairpin between 12 and 15.

 

[Kiante]

CHASE IS THERE AND THEY GO TO COMMERCIAL.

 

[wi_racefan]

This is the longest race ever. 55 laps next year please

I say we change it to 0

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This morons literally missed the pass for the probably lead

 

[HoneyBadger]

The 9 and 18 are side-by-side and Fox spends a full minute showing a single car shot of the 48.

Can CBS take over already?

 

[gnomesayin]

Elliott and Busch are racing, so better go to commercial and wait until after the pass is completed to cut to it.

 

[AdoubleU24]

The CFE school of driving is open for business

 

[donthaveanickname]

Chase and KDB are side by side, let's go to commercial.
