Quaker State 400 - Kentucky Race Thread

there posting the 20 in first this could be good on the restart.

JJ unloads every week with one of the fastest cars if not the fastest.. Considering he only had 1 win in 100 starts with a 20th place avg. finish in the Busch/Nationwide series I gotta think the48 TEAM should get the credit for their success. I'd luv to see how he would do without Chad and HMS equipment

Jimmie can wheel the car and give good feedback. But, the team that builds the car and Chad's genius makes it fast. I don't care if you're the world's best driver, if you don't have the equipment you're not going to the front. The 48 TEAM does it right.

Any bets on Logano using the bumper

 

[Blaze]

Come on, I'm not much of a Matt fan but hey if he can beat Jimmie, well done.

 

[#17D500winner]

Holy Moly!

 

[HoneyBadger]

I can't believe he didn't tear down the wall.

 

[Blaze]

Well now it's a whole new ball game.

Whoops

Yes, he's in HMS equipment, but so is Junior, and since Jr arrived at HMS in '08, Jimmie has won more championships (3) than Junior has race wins (2). So I think you gotta give the guy behind the wheel a little credit.

48 is getting 4 tires now

 

[VaDirt]

Cheers turn to jeers! Jimmie spins, but saves it with no damage.

 

[Jeffrey00]

So good!

 

[Blaze]

I wonder if Jimmie tries to blame that on Joey?

 

[FenderBumper]

Any bets on Logano using the bumper

Joey never touched him, but good call anyway.

 

[HoneyBadger]

That was an incredible save.

 

[FenderBumper]

I wonder if Jimmie tries to blame that on Joey?

Looks like JJ had a left front tire flat.

Maybe not.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Goodyear or Pirelli?

(Those who watched the F1 race will get this)

Going to have to say Goodyear after this morning's debacle.

 

[VaDirt]

Aaaaaand Jimmie whines.

 

[Brent]

Johnson gets beat on the restart, so now he thinks that the leader needs to get penalized. Lol.

 

[HoneyBadger]

DAMN Go KP!

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Matt did nothing wrong.

 

[StandOnIt]

hell Logano could have dumped him..48 needs to send Joey a card.

 

[Blaze]

Jimmie want Matt to have a penalty now you know another reason people don't like Jimmie

 

[Racer1930]

Well now it's a whole new ball game.

Yep

 

[Jeffrey00]

I wonder if Jimmie tries to blame that on Joey?

Nope Kenseth. Lol

 

[FLRacingFan]

Nice driving on Joey's part not getting into Jimmie and making a big mess.

 

[#17D500winner]

Joey never touched him, but good call anyway.

It's not over yet.

[Jeffrey00]

Penalize the leader? Lol

 

[VaDirt]

I liked Kyle's sarcastic response. "everyone does it wrong but Jimmie Johnson."

 

[Tennessee Racing]

If anyone thinks Matt did something wrong there, I don't know what world you live in. LOL

 

[FenderBumper]

I'm getting tired of JJ and Elliott Sadler whining about restarts. Study the freaking rule and get it right for once.

 

[harkin]

Looked like JJ was driving with his rear-view mirror and couldn't make up his mind when he should have just been in GO mode.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

WTF Jeff?!?!

 

[HoneyBadger]

It ain't over!

 

[Blaze]

Hell go Ambrose!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Clean air is premium with this car - even worse than the old car.

 

[Blaze]

and never mind haha, that was short lived.

 

[Jeffrey00]

I'm getting tired of JJ and Elliott Sadler whining about restarts. Study the freaking rule and get it right for once.

Because they think if they are on the front row they think they should dictate the restarts whether they are the leader or not.

 

[FenderBumper]

That 22 may be fastest right now.
