Some of the Chain Gang are behind the eight ball already.

He just wants to miss the turn 1 calamity since he will be on pit road. Attrition.

It's that time of year. This is why I prefer races to be on cable networks, where local affiliates aren't a factor. No point in being on broadcast network if you're going to be overridden.

Thanks Jeff. What a load of ****. Close doesn't count. That's what tech is for. The Jeffy and Chad show in 3-2-1...... and on a road course?

Welp Shane, I guess not all of your boys can come over here and do what you did

P6 in group without a test and didn’t even have a functioning car in practice. Pretty good, all things considered.

I think he was speaking g specific towards the circumstances at Chicago when he said that anyways.

I was going to whine about how far off the 9 was but he’s faster than our new Overlord SVG so…

 

[HoneyBadger]

Fake? It was a ******* F1 track

So was Caesars Palace.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Suarez flat blistered it

 

[FLRacingFan]

Three of the top four at the start could really use a win.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Chase clutched one up there at the end

 

[antman12]

P14 for LaJoie…on a fake parking lot course. Nice.

Today.

Tomorrow???

So true, the Felon has the fake cheater parts on the # 24 to keep Nascar officials busy enough to overlook the real cheated up cars (#9 #48) in a must win situation.

Good morning, it’s Cup racing from the Brickyard! Not as cool as it used to be, but I still have a pep in my step regardless. Hopefully next year at this time, I’ll have full blown excitement.

If you live in anywhere within a two hour radius of this event and don't go, you're telling on yourself IMO. Parking in North 40 lot is free and there's tickets on StubHub as of an hour ago for as little as $11. I've gone to IMS three years running for the double header weekend and never even encountered traffic leaving from North 40. There just aren't excuses.

Indy road course isn't the oval, but it is a race nonetheless. Excited as always. Let's go!

Perfect weather forecast too.

According to Google maps I live a little less than three hours from the Speedway.

 

[Brentford]

It’s gonna be fun watching Byron come through the field on his way to the checkered flag. I’m excited!

An ending to a race that we can only hope for today . . .

If those 2 are battling for the win at the end the cup guys should be ashamed of themselves

What you mean 'we', paleface?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

McDowell winning would be the most 2023 thing ever. I want to join the Blaney fans in the DBC tub.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I’m low key really starting to hate SVG, or at least his hype train. At least it was another hatable driver he dumped

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Kobayashi yeesh

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Gibbs being a petulant brat? Say it ain’t so

The SVG hype train is the most annoying fanbase in NASCAR today. SVG himself seems pretty level headed and chill though.

Fair. I’m just sick of hearing about him. I mean, his win was Greg Sacks R&D car at Dega level fluke if we’re honest. It was the perfect storm for SVG at Chicago. He was familiar with the car type and street courses while our guys were lost.
