Daytona 500 RACE thread ! !

Lol $40 each

30 pack of Old Milwaukee and a lapdance from the day shift of the local strip club, not bad.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

We’re not about to watch this for 9 hours to see Hamlin and Harvick decide it

 

[34R7H130UND]

Don't get the Denny hate. Guy is deserving of this win and a championship

I dont like the guy, but he shoulda had a championship already 100%

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

You can tell Clint still misses it as opposed to JG who you couldn’t pay him enough money to get back in one of those cars ( and deservedly so btw). Clint has been refreshing this whole race

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

That 11 car is unreal.

Jeff has nothing left to prove. Clit will be known as the guy who had an itch

 

[KodiakRusty89]

I honestly think the 11 is a sitting duck. I think when push come to shove someone is going to straight knock him out of the way. He's the alpha and everyone knows it. Harvick had him if that restart was a GWC...

Same setup as last year. Makes sense, same package.

 

[StandOnIt]

Cendric has worked back up to 5th. he's been real solid this weekend

 

[LJ7201]

Those static camera shots >>

Agreed. I think the 11 is gonna get punted eventually.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

We’ll see what he’s really got when they don’t want to run single file anymore.

Easier said than done. Top dog for a reason.

Going to be good!

We’ll see, I think if AD has a shot at it he’ll straight up drive through the 11 if need be, he’s done it before and will do it again if situation calls for it. But I don’t know, that 11 looks unbeatable

Never enter a spelling bee.

Fox is absolutely dominating NBC’s coverage right now. MRN level stuff out here

Jeff Gordon raced for 40 years. It probably wasn't any fun for him after the playoff stuff.

 

[Clutch]

The outside is working so well right now. We need some fast cars to move down together

 

[jaqua19]

Anyone else loving Clint and Jeff in the booth?

They have outstanding chemistry.

I know, I was a fan for all 24 years of Cup. It went by quick.

Oh my I just noticed lmao

 

[ChexOrWrex]

If they run the next 40 laps single file, this will be the most depressing Daytona 500 since 2013.

For the first time since about 2003, I'd say Fox has the best coverage right now. Of course, NBC's commentary booth sets the bar low right now.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I see Chevy’s lining up behind car number 3.

 

[Mispeedway15]

His back is in pretty bad shape which is why he had to retire. I think he said he couldn’t run the last year of his career

Hmm, there could even be enough for the lunch special too

 

[HoneyBadger]

To think, the Fox booth is this good with a race that's this bad.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

This race seems like every 500 of the last 5 years or so. It's all about the last 15 laps! 500 miles serves no purpose in this era of NASCAR. Strategy and discretion has no place in NASCAR.

I 100% support 200 milers on pack tracks.

Didn't he want to get out of it in the mid-00s and France straight-up said "no you're staying"? I've looked for the article but I couldn't find it to save my life.

Nonsense.

I wouldn’t say it’s been bad at all. Some instances of logging laps, but aggressive racing and many near wrecks. It’s going to be wild once they start pitting

I dont see NASCAR tolerating this for long. They need to start eliminating the last car on the lead lap after every 5 laps or something. The biggest race of the season has been a follow the leader train for nearly 100 laps.

Mostly single file, and I know I'm watching this knowing Denny Hamlin will win and hoping he doesn't.

 

[nickp]

Denny Hamlin has now led 80 laps he led 79 last year

When has the anything but the last 15 laps mattered in plate racing? There were times when cars were fast enough that they couldn't be beat, but what mattered for them other than not getting wrecked?

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[jaqua19]

I love Blaney - need to see more - Cindric is going to be the next Penske star if he ever gets there.

Just want to piggyback of this. You are right. The coverage is great.

You can tell Jeff absolutely loves Clint. Clints humor/seriousness balance is near perfect. I thought he'd be basically color commentary, but he's awesome

He needs a mood enhancer.

I might roll him a blunt.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Got up early for the last laps.
I assume they have been racing this way for 140 laps?
