Pocono RACE thread --- Rd. 2

Waiting.....

 

[jasn88cubs]

This race would have been called long ago with a big name leading

 

[Brent]

Just got off work and I'm surprised to not see a "Rate the Race" thread. Currently red for fog with big storms not too far away. The fog isn't going to go away before the storms make it to the track. This thing is over.

 

[mkline]

I wouldn't be surprised if they run the rest tomorrow so they can get a big team a win.

 

[LouieLouie]

we have to be bumping up against day light at this point. Even if it doesn't rain and the fog clears, it's 4pm there now. How much more sunlight will they get?

 

[dpkimmel2001]

They always attempt to get these races in if they can. Not a big deal. I know if i were at the track I'd like to see things play out if possible.

 

[jws926]

Ok, so the tornado stuff was not true, sounds like it started as a joke

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Over, finally. Chris Buescher wins at Pocono!

 

[mkline]

WhooHoo

I'm already home! Some real nasty weather just north. NWS has a flood warning out for the area i passed through....

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The race has finally been called.

Congrats to fellow Texan Chris Buescher!

 

[Pat]

The racing gods have smiled on Chris Buescher today. Congrats to him and the team.

Good for buescher. If it's gonna end that way glad to see someone who doesn't get many chances to win get it.

Hell yes! This is awesome. Go Buescher!

 

[Bowtie3]

Congrats Buescher.

First rookie winner since Trevor Bayne in the 2011 Daytona 500 I do believe.

 

[Brent]

Obvious a waste of space if he makes the chase, but still happy to see a kid win who doesn't ever have a spotlight on him. Definitely a day he'll never forget.

Yeah, NBC just got that wrong. They said Logano.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Yeah, NBC just got that wrong. They said Logano.

Well, technically... Trevor Bayne wasn't ROTY-eligible. So, in a sense...

 

[jws926]

They would be correct

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Everyone headed out when the cars came to pit road. If they would have restarted there would have been no one in the stands.

It was an exciting race, easily the "strangest"....

 

[ToyYoda]

So I guess Bayne was a "pre-rookie".

 

[Michfan]

Hell yes!!

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Did anyone expect Chris Buescher would win a race before Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney or Chase Elliott?

 

[ToyYoda]

Buescher still 31st in points, he might have a little to work to do to make the chase.

After today I feel like Front Row and Roush will go above and beyond to make sure they get there

 

[cheesepuffs]

Crazy how he could be the only Roush car to make it. But yeah, no doubt Jack will be pushing the 34 team full steam ahead to get it done. Hope they can keep the cars in one piece through Richmond.

 

[Acs]

What a farce

 

[34R7H130UND]

That is ridiculous. But I like the kid so yeah. Good job. Going to be like bayne and win one race and not win again forever

 

[DaBiff1618]

so happy idk what to say. He's a local prospect from where I live and he's the real freaking deal, has driven for lesser equipment in both Arca and xfinity (with 2 titles) and gets it done today. Fluke or not this kid has all the talent in the world, and when he moves to Roush full time he will carry the banner for the team. Really happy for him and FRM

 

[4tires17gals]

They could have restarted but did not want to have a fuel milage race where the under educated fans were not sure about the winner. when Mayfield bumped Earnhardt the fog was nearly the same.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

That is ridiculous. But I like the kid so yeah. Good job. Going to be like bayne and win one race and not win again forever

He's a wheelman. If he gets into a better ride, you'll be asking TRL to delete this post.

What a farce

Let me guess, BradK fan?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I love my DVR.

 

[BobbyFord]

I'm glad I didn't waste any time on this "race."
Watched the whole joke in five minutes.

 

[Ford 222]

Keselowski

What did he do now?

 

[klemmabyna]

quite thrilled with the outcome!

I was at work, so could someone explain the strategy pulled off by this team to get this win?

as far as those of you complaining about the potential of them getting a chase spot...

why are you complaining? the rules were set and no "special circumstances" would be needed if he finishes in the top 30 in points. ....unlike last years' champion.
.
I now have a reason to pay attention to the point standings again.

Love this headline:
"Chris Buescher takes shock first win in Pocono NASCAR race"

anyone have Buescher in the Yahoo fantasy league?!?!?! If so, hand them a the crown!!!

 

[FLRacingFan]

I like Chris. I'm happy for him and Front Row...not so much for the Chase implications. I hope he makes it and this format gets exposed even more.
