Damn.

 

[Greg]

Damn...I put Logano in when Hamlin didn't start.

Same here. I considered Lagano high risk, but after Hamlin withdrew I was compelled to take Lagano.

Goodyear should be ashamed. Sorry this isn't on the teams.

Can't run more than 25 laps.

 

[JEB]

Slow sto for Gordon

 

[Reck]

Yeah gonna have to be better than that on pit road.

 

[beantownkid10]

Next time split the difference between 11.5 and 13.9 please....

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Folks, I don't think it's all on Goodyear. This is a new car, new setups, more downforce. They are running more camber putting more stress on the tire ---- last year's tire.

 

[beantownkid10]

Can't even run 20 laps on these tires. Better than Indy, but not by much.

 

[Greg]

Good job goodyear.

I read that Goodyear was using the same tire this year, and that teams were not running the recommended psi.

 

[jws926]

Highlights, why would I want to watch the highlights when I am trying to watch the race

I agree.

Yeah, as DW may or may not have pointed out (I was only half paying attention), with there being so much more of an emphasis on winning races this year, I can see the teams running a riskier setup to try to get that little bit of extra speed.

 

[beantownkid10]

Kyle Busch needs to get out of the way.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Where's SlicedBread22?

 

[beantownkid10]

If Kyle doesn't want to move Jeff needs to make him move. Put his ass into the wall.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

I don't wanna jinx it but all 4 SHR cars are now in the top 20.

 

[Reck]

Damn, finally Gordon gets by the 18.

He was holding him off badly.

 

[Wingnutcnc]

Wow, I went for a splash and go and the race is already under green again and no commercial??????

 

[TexasRaceLady]

And this is the first real SPEED test for car/setups/tires. I don't count Daytona because it's an anomaly.

 

[Wingnutcnc]

Stewie just can't seem to hang with the big dawgs so far this year.

 

[beantownkid10]

P2 ....again

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Stewie just can't seem to hang with the big dawgs so far this year.

He finished top 5 just last week.........

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Kenseth has fallen to sixth.

Damn, I love this race.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

They have a graphic for how Harvick has moved up the field once, but no graphic for how Gordon has moved up the field twice?

Update: FOX finally showed the graphic of Gordon moving up twice.

 

[Wingnutcnc]

He finished top 5 just last week.........

After everyone else crashed out. He just don't seem the same, to much Prozac I think.

 

[Mr. Gregory]

Well, there was Vegas too, but I dunno how much the teams were pushing the envelope there.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Comers and goers, tire management, long runs vs. short runs -- this is what superspeedway races were like when NASCAR was good. I'm loving this race.

 

[Reck]

Wow Harvick again.

 

[beantownkid10]

Don't think Harv will be able to recover from that this time.

 

[DSquad48]

Jimmie's got trash on his grill - running hot.

 

[Kiante]

Nascar needs to mandate stricter restrictions on the camber angles. This is a bit too much. It's like watch Bahrain or the British Gp last year...

 

[hawg dawg]

Folks, I don't think it's all on Goodyear. This is a new car, new setups, more downforce. They are running more camber putting more stress on the tire ---- last year's tire.

yeah....usin tires for suspension travel now.....on tire edge w/ more + camber

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Jeff Gordon's the only driver in this race who raced in Winston Cup back when tire management and attrition was a thing.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Darnit, I picked Harvick in Yahoo thinking that his luck has to turn around at some point.

 

[Wingnutcnc]

Harvick must be snake bit after his win.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

"Jeff Gordon has a good long run car" - no, Jeff Gordon knows how to race in an old school, tire management race.

 

[DanicaFreak]

go go go girl!

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

That was the "Save Harvick" caution...

 

[ToyYoda]

The weight of Harvick's sheer awesomeness must have deflated his left rear tire

 

[Tennessee Racing]

This is ridiculous.
