RACE thread --- Daytona 500

[Mispeedway15]

These cars are so stable. Ford has some damn speed

 

[Professur]

no point for leading laps? That the fark is that?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Choo choo train by lap 5.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Ryan Newman has been sneaky fast all speedweeks

 

[Truex_rox]

All of JGR dropping to the back?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

You know it's been that way for years, right?

 

[KodiakRusty89]

This is smart. Gotta log laps to get to the finish. Strategy will be interesting. I don't think there's a person there who believes this is making it to lap 200 without at least one weather headache....

“Burns more fuel faster”

as opposed to ‘less fuel slower’.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ryan Newman has been sneaky fast all speedweeks

Has the best avg finish here over the last three years.

Plus, if I heard right, theres a competition caution at lap 20.

Evidently not.

I saw that and was thinkin “when Kyle starts at the back he’s usually 20th after 10 laps”.

 

[ToyYoda]

Highest Toyota is 32nd. Feels like 2007.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

"advancing to the rear"....it has a certain ring to it....

 

[Charlie Spencer]

All of JGR dropping to the back?

Apparently. Must be writing off the first stage points.

 

[racer8]

Why didn’t Bowman start in the rear

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

How can the 95 of Bell be running with the JGR cars but he himself is not on the JGR team, I smell collusion

Didnt know this was a throwback race

Does collusion smell like rice?

 

[donthaveanickname]

It's gonna be wild eventually.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Why didn’t Bowman start in the rear

Car only failed once.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Go ahead and start eliminating positions at 25 lap intervals at these tracks if this is the show they are putting on.

 

[StandOnIt]

Hill's left rear quarter is flapping in the breeze

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It's gonna be wild eventually.

It's single file now.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Tires are going to start fading so the cars will have to move around. Is there a comp caution?

Lap 20 I believe.

As with McLeod. He's my dark horse today

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Can you watch the race from Lake Lloyd? Why was that boat on there?

 

[StandOnIt]

Eh they probably will make a move at the stage. That way they won't get freight trained for jumping out of the line..But everybody hates the stages right?

 

[KTMLew01]

Has the best avg finish here over the last three years.

Cause he doesn't stick his neck out..

 

[DIDIT]

Looks like rain might be coming in again unless to vortex can steer it away.

 

[Joker]

Cause he doesn't stick his neck out..

What neck?

 

[Yogisd1]

there it is.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

So is this a comp caution or a caution because of rain?...lol...

 

[Acs]

Yeah this isn't gonna finish today. Glad I didn't make an event of it.

 

[donthaveanickname]

It's single file now.

Won't be at lap 100

 

[ChexOrWrex]

There it is. See y’all tomorrow. TV networks have the sport by the balls and this is what happens.

Funny thing is, other sports like NFL often have flex schedules so if they need to start a game around weather they can.

Not NASCAR. When rain has been predicted in the evening, we push the start of the race back LATER.

 

[KTMLew01]

What neck?

 

[Yogisd1]

They have lights there.

 

[jws926]

So is this a comp caution or a caution because of rain?...lol...

For rain
