Nationwide Race - Texas

"A dangerous situation"

The short tracks I've been to have far far far less lighting than that and they can see just fine. Pussies.

They only go 40 mph through the turns at those short tracks. Think. Think.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Danica was running identical lap times to the leader right there. The 6 couldn't catch her. She said she was mad so she drove harder. Whatever works.

I guess it works. Kyle Busch has done some amazing driving when he's pissed off.

 

[HoneyBadger]

They only go 40 mph through the turns at those short tracks. Think. Think.

Ever been to Old Dominion or Potomac? They basically use low watt street lights.

 

[Matthew2470]

Ever been to Old Dominion or Potomac? They basically use low watt street lights.

The track near me has a super dark back stretch. It's ridiculous.

 

[racer8]

I just hope it's fixed properly for tommorow. The lights that is.

 

[Bucky Badger]

Track looks pretty light from here

 

[racer8]

Thanks FB....my blood pressure was/is wicked. I just got diagnosed with a enlarged left atrial. Whatever that is, haha.

Get well soon. A beer might help.

 Cheers!

 

[racer8]

 Cheers!

I'm glad to see you are in good spirits.

 

[racer8]

Kinda cool to see a 3 car out front again.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Kurt blew another motherfuc*ing engine.

 

[HoneyBadger]

 Cheers!

I'm drinking a Dogfishhead IPA for you as we speak.

 

[BobbyFord]

Lower end...

 

[HoneyBadger]

Apparently, Danica's been getting lessons from Junyer on how to enter her pit box

 

[racer8]

Boom , Kurt didn't look to happy, It's gonna be a looooooonnng year for that boy.

 

[Matthew2470]

Danica has sticker tires.

Lucky!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Lucky!

I got a bonus from work this week.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Nice driving by Stenhouse to hold off a Cup driver with a much better car.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Danica Patrick is DRIVING right now. I've never seen her race so aggressive.

 

[BobbyFord]

Fast'ol Ford

 

[HoneyBadger]

Okay, I don't understand the modern coverage conventional wisdom of only showing the lead car on the final lap (in extremely tight shots) when there's side-by-side racing behind it.

She outrun the boss.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. is a wheel.

 

[Bucky Badger]

A top 5 would be nice

A top five would be her best or second best finish ever. That would be better than nice I would say.

Not bad for Danica..she almost got the top 5

 

[Matthew2470]

Wow. Danica was making some bold moves there at the end.

 

[Bucky Badger]

Wow. Danica was making some bold moves there at the end.

Now if she could do that during the whole race....

I hate that. Show the action!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Someone explain to me why Stenhouse doesn't have a Cup ride and Bayne doesn't have a ride. (I also know the answer to this)

 

[ted@economy]

Congrats Danica Fan..she kicked butt tonite

 

[Bucky Badger]

Because they decided to sign with Jack...

 

[Bucky Badger]

Congrats Danica Fan..she kicked butt tonite

What about the rest of us Danica fans

 

[Matthew2470]

Now if she could do that during the whole race....

When she went a lap down something clicked. She started throwing it into the corners and it was sticking. She race identical lap times to Menard and Stenhouse for 15 laps then got the lucky dog.

 

[Matthew2470]

Because they decided to sign with Jack...

Can't really blame them.

 

[Bucky Badger]

Can't really blame them.

really???? Jack has had a hard time with sponsors for what...about 4 years now

 

[HoneyBadger]

Because they decided to sign with Jack...

WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER!

 

[Matthew2470]

Well Stenhouse was nearly out of the sport because he sucked so bad. Jack gave him another shot and he won the NW Championship. Trevor left MWR when MWR was struggling quite a bit. So yeah, I don't blame those kids for wanting to be part of RFR.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I'm surprised nobody's learned their lesson by now. You do not sign with Roush or Childress until after you've won several Cup races.

 

[Matthew2470]

Everyone is a genius when given the benefit of hindsight.

And would Trevor have even been in the 2011 Daytona 500 had he been with MWR?

Ten years ago, the thought of the previous year's Daytona 500 winner not having a ride was unthinkable. But Bayne drives for a team where all the sponsors only want to be on Carl's car.

Stenhouse could win 20 races and still lose his ride.
