Cup "rainy" RACE thread --- COTA

[BobbyFord]

well Kyle, but according to him only because he got practice. lol. I take that as him saying he needs it.

I don’t mind it.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Now THATS a hat!

 

[Blaze]

I don’t mind it.

All I’m saying is, he’s good. Great even. But if he needs practice to run great like this, then maybe he’s not AS good as we thought. Still better than a lot of drivers. But just less better than we thought.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Lol Cindric just shoving the 9 off in 1

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Oh no Roush’s newest owner went around

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chase Elliott going to the Jeff Gordon school of restarts.

 

[FLRacingFan]

What a bad time to cut to replay

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Is Cindric racing Road America in July?

 

[Blaze]

Oh no Roush’s newest owner went around

By a Roush car none the less lol

Will look a lot better through all these technical 1st/2nd gear complexes at a clunky track like COTA.

Maybe that's part why I'm not liking this place. So much of this track is first or second gear for stock cars. Maybe that technical section is more exciting with the cars this track was designed.

 

[Marcingak]

Hey look. The guy who was allowed to have an extra practice session yesterday by running the Xfinity race is leading.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

If Chase gets to the rear bumper of Cindric...

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Hey look. The guy who was allowed to have an extra practice session yesterday by running the Xfinity race is leading.

Most of the current top ten ran yesterday.

 

[Blaze]

Hey look. The guy who was allowed to have an extra practice session yesterday by running the Xfinity race is leading.

Well he needs that practice and extra track time. You know, according to himself anyway.

 

[BobbyFord]

All I’m saying is, he’s good. Great even. But if he needs practice to run great like this, then maybe he’s not AS good as we thought. Still better than a lot of drivers. But just less better than we thought.

Seems to be paying off.
The more familiar you are at a track the better your advantage over the field.

What about those other guys who ran it too?? lol. To easy

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Most of the current top ten ran yesterday.

Everyone else ran for a smaller team. Kyle ran for his bonafide Cup team with a Cup pit crew.

 

[Blaze]

If Chase gets to the rear bumper of Cindric...

Hopefully nothing happens. Got Austin as apart of a fantasy team I’m doing with some fellow race fans on this wrestling forum im on LOL. Need him to finish good

 

[HoneyBadger]

Austin Cindric took a class in car-width engineering from Ryan Newman I see.

 

[Blaze]

Guess lucky for him he didn’t have to race without it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Is Cindric racing Road America in July?

Yep

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Larson is giving Elliott a LOT of room here. He is faster than Chase.

 

[BobbyFord]

Everyone else ran for a smaller team. Kyle ran for his bonafide Cup team with a Cup pit crew.

Should Kyle have hired fans out of the grandstand???

 

[Kiante]

Houff really did that...lol.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

God Hoff is even terrible in the rain

 

[BobbyFord]

Guess lucky for him he didn’t have to race without it.

Run what you got.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Houff and Stenhouse is a lethal duo

 

[jws926]

God Hoff is even terrible in the rain

Houff is terrible on the dry too

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Maybe that's part why I'm not liking this place. So much of this track is first or second gear for stock cars. Maybe that technical section is more exciting with the cars this track was designed.

Put in a chute from 12 to 15, bypassing that hairpin, maybe with a right-side chicane.

 

[Mispeedway15]

These cars are too heavy for these conditions. Haha this is terrible

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Elliott stands a good chance of being dumped. He is mad slow on entry.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Austin Cindric took a class in car-width engineering from Ryan Newman I see.

Newman has a 'Wider' dial under the dash.

 

[Kiante]

Sucks for Reddick, but heads up move rolling into inside of turn 20 to let the traffic by.

 

[jws926]

Newman had a 'Wider' dial under the dash.

Id like to imagine it says, "Wide Baby Wide" on it

Game Creek is the best in the Business..

 

[Kiante]

Last lap, Larson was two seconds faster than Ky. Busch.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I have Chase, Kurt, and AJ in the top ten. That ain't enough with two on the hook.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

How much fuel does the #18 have?

Pitting now.
