Bright idea from Stenhouse smh

Skillz

 

[jws926]

Suddenly Joey's issue doesn't seem so bad

He got lucky really

 

[aunty dive]

We complained bitterly when they weren’t racing hard enough.

Ask Truex how much stage points are worth.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Stages didn't cause Stenhouse to block Blaney all the way to New Smyrna Beach.

Fat chance he blocks like that in lap 60 of any other race prior to stages.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I assume Brad is hanging out in the back of the pack.

I hope so, never got a update on what they were doing on pit road

 

[KodiakRusty89]

The lack of fear these guys have anymore is ridiculous. There's no respect/common senses needed because everyone walks away.....

 

[KTMLew01]

which was smart lol.

They discussed fact that stage points means nothing for her. Only thing that matters is sitting in Victory Lane.

 

[mack]

Imagine what the end will be like

Probably about six hours from now.

 

[HoneyBadger]

The blocking has been psychotic all race -- much of it from your boy Elliott.

 

[Rick]

Blaney showing the world he belongs at penske. Stenhouse saying "f u" derka derka

 

[jws926]

Wrecking ten cars racing for ten points lol

Here is the problem, it was shown last year just how important each and every single stage point can be.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Yep, can usually predict a poor year from being collected in plate track BS

Ironically, the winner of this race usually has a poor season.

 

[4tires17gals]

just hard racing nothing wrong with it

 

[FLRacingFan]

Stenhouse has been a weapon all week. It looked admirable on Sunday and Thursday but that’s just a lack of foresight at this point.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I love it, but ******** that’s some insanely hard racing so early

 

[SlicedBread22]

We complained bitterly when they weren’t racing hard enough.

We always complain.. we're NASCAR fans

 

[donthaveanickname]

With the end of stage one, three of the four JGR cars are eliminated.
And Blaney and Stenhouse, who caused the wreck, went through it unharmed.

 

[StandOnIt]

Seems to always work that way, the goof that causes it drives away. Blaney had a hell of a run up thru there, gets to that goof Stenhouse and there ya go.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

The blocking has been psychotic all race -- much of it from your boy Elliott.

I still dont agree with it

 

[BradBlaney]

Yep, can usually predict a poor year from being collected in plate track BS

He wasn't good the 2nd half of last year

We need a Takuma Sato in every form of motorsport. Lol.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

[Racer1930]

This may be a race where any car that finishes gets a good finish. Tony Stewart would say these young-uns are driving crazy out there for so early in the race.

(then he would cause a wreck )

 

[MIracingfan]

You can have exciting, even double file racing without blocking like an idiot. Hell, I'm a chase Elliott fan and I think he races like a dong.

 

[SlicedBread22]

I still dont agree with it

We know

 

[FLRacingFan]

We need a Takuma Sato in every form of motorsport. Lol.

Lol. No attack, no chance.

 

[DUN24]

Vince Welch clearly wasn’t in the 41 pitbox during that report lol.

 

[Kiante]

Lol. No attack, no chance.

Bingo.

 

[CodeMan125]

I hope so, never got a update on what they were doing on pit road

Neither did i.I'm hoping he's just riding around in the back with Bubba

 

[HoneyBadger]

I still dont agree with it

That's fine. But the stages didn't cause that. Elliott's almost caused a few wrecks today with his extremely aggressive blocks.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Neither did i.I'm hoping he's just riding around in the back with Bubba

I saw him up there not too long ago ..not sure where he is now

 

[DIDIT]

Gonna hold Blaney 2 laps for rough driving.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

"Why are these drivers racing so hard so early?"

I'm glad to see drivers racing so hard. I'm disappointed it resulted in a wreck, but that's what happens when drivers race.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Good point by Jeff on the ride heights. Probably harder than usual to brake

 

[highbanker31]

Kes' issue on pit road involved the splitter.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Every driver pre race: “survival is the name of the game here, gotta make it to the end”

Stenhouse:

 

[carolinabuff]

I hope so, never got a update on what they were doing on pit road

Saw this earlier and was about to post it but then the wreck happened

 

[KTMLew01]

You listen to the announcers? Why? I barely have sound loud enough to hear.

 

[Kiante]

A Paul Menard sighting!

 

[KTMLew01]

Danica: has huge vibration.
