Darlington RACE thread ! ! !

[StandOnIt]

Byron is a flaming terror out there

 

[Turtle84]

Bowman and Byron are the real deal. HMS is back

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Cloud cover increasing. Let's see how they handle the track changing.

 

[Michfan]

HMS whooping ass, 2005 me is so disappointed I'm enjoying this

 

[ChexOrWrex]

HMS cars (except for 9) looking stout.

Elliott needs a new crew chief.

Yall have lost your minds. All of HMS is in the top 7 and Chase is knocking on the door for 6th.

Alan is one of the best CCs in the garage when it comes to unloading with speed. Strategy, not so much. Any #9 fan would be crazy to want him gone. Who would replace him?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Byron and Bowman must have worn out their sim rigs this past week getting ready.

 

[carolinabuff]

Love seeing racing at Darlington in the daytime

 

[HoneyBadger]

huh? You havent been paying attention.

Average finish in 2018 - 17.0
Average finish in 2019 - 14.4

Fifth race of the year and he's, far and away, having a career year. He could lead more laps in five races by the end of today than he'd led in any prior season.

 

[donthaveanickname]

HMS in 1-3.
It's not the throwback race, but this is a throwback.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What's with the Monster bumper coming back from commercial???

Yeah evidently you forgot about Chevrolet's problems

 

[DewChaser988]

As a race fan, this is what you like to see, a lot of position battles

Probably need to look at all the Chevy's. That is your first clue. Maybe more to come if you don't get it.

 

[Kiante]

Bowman is three tenths a lap faster than second.

Last lap five tenths faster than Johnson.

 

[nickp]

the monster energy girls are hot

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I know the SAFER barriers are much better, but, gee, I miss the old K-rails. LOL

There is good reason to believe that Bowman is better in his third full season than his first (as most drivers are), and that HMS is better relative to the competition as well.

Hot take

 

[BobbyFord]

This race is a bit of a snoozer.

 

[Pandaz3]

I am loving life and life is loving me. Real cars, real racing

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This race is a bit of a snoozer.

We HAVE a real race.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah evidently you forgot about Chevrolet's problems

Guy's one of the three best drivers this year, yet in the one low-downforce race we had, he ran mid-pack.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Those Chevy’s are flying

 

[donthaveanickname]

Newman in the Top 10.

 

[Kiante]

We HAVE a real race.

Count your blessings, for sure.

 

[BobbyFord]

We HAVE a real race.

Well I certainly wasn’t watching the video game racing.

 

[Spotter22]

Guy's one of the three best drivers this year, yet in the one low-downforce race we had, he ran mid-pack.

So? You think the team couldnt have missed the setup? Come on man

nobodies taking your bait. Fish elsewhere?

 

[Michfan]

A few years ago I thought Darlington was on its deathbed. Now,we're watching 3 races there. Sometimes things work out.

 

[Kiante]

Reddick is an underminded pick in this situation.

He's picking up spots quickly.

 

[Joniki]

Oh, come on, friends. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's what we have at this given period of time.
I, for one, intend to enjoy what I have. It's this, or nothing. I prefer this.

I worked as a medic for 42 years. I worked as a medic at the local short tracks.

I am loving the cars back on the track....

 

[KTMLew01]

nobodies taking your bait. Fish elsewhere?

Apparently they changed the pond at some point...

 

[Michfan]

Newman in the Top 10.

Crazy that a few months ago we all thought we watched him die

 

[StandOnIt]

Reddick is an underminded pick in this situation.

yeah Reddick has a habit of getting faster the longer the races goes.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Crazy that a few months ago we all thought we watched him die

Safe to say his injuries weren’t to the extent that anyone thought. Thank goodness.

 

[Kiante]

yeah Reddick has a habit of getting faster the longer the races goes.

He's the new "Send it" King.

This type of situation is his type of deal, I know he's having a blast.

 

[Michfan]

Apparently they changed the pond at some point...

He's literally engaged in a debate. I don't understand how that's not successful fishing

 

[donthaveanickname]

Reddick is an underminded pick in this situation.

He's picking up spots quickly.

He's gonna win a race before the end of the year.
It feels like it's been a year since Phoenix but he was damn fast there.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

@Thegeneral23 , you out there?

 

[Michfan]

Safe to say his injuries weren’t to the extent that anyone thought. Thank goodness.

One of the things I'm most excited for is watching him and Buescher at Roush. That's a solid lineup. Both of those guys are underrated and protect equipment. Could be a mini Roush resurgence
