RACE thread --- Duels from Daytona

Stenhouse getting ready to show JJ how its done

 

[KodiakRusty89]

There's no way JJ intentionally wrecking Busch. I don't believe that for a second. That's a dangerous narrative to start playing with imo. With that said, something seems to be going on with JJ. He better be 100% mentally engaged.

 

[Spotter22]

48 better check that bump steer gauge

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

That's tight right with Kligerman in the middle.

 

[LJ7201]

Theres so much that manipulates these cars when they get near each other’s quarter panels with this package and it’s obvious that the #48 car has a setup that exaggerates it and JJ has no counter.

This is what I've been thinking. Seems the most plausible.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Good spotting, Clayton!

 

[DewChaser988]

Is Stenhouse running a Mark Martin throwback early?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Great move by Daniel

 

[KodiakRusty89]

There's some volatility up front. Be smart...

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Byron's decided he's had enough and backed out of the line of the storm.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I don’t know what “it” is but Chevy still seem to disappear from qualifying to race on these tracks. Meanwhile, as usual it’s a real Ford fiesta up front.

 

[JBone88]

If Stenhouse doesn’t wad it up, he’ll be a threat on Sunday.

 

[LARRY]

Good race to dvr and then watch in FF.

What a bitch move

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Typical Newman

They went for more speed over handling.

With the 4 leading the conga line. Mid-season form already.

 

[machinistman3]

They will wad some up before the end. JJ isn’t the only one making dumb moves.

I'm guessing he didn't know there was a car outside of Kyle. On the radio JJ's spotter was sayin outside, TWO TWO and then he spun Kyle.

 

[jws926]

Typical Newman

He was busy sampling his sponsors product while driving

 

[AdoubleU24]

Kligerman has a pretty solid car! He hung tough in the middle with no help for a good while.

 

[REBS31]

Typical Newman

Yeah I’ve learned to accept unnecessary risk as a Newman fan

The Mustangs are fast out of the chute

 

[machinistman3]

This sliding up in front of each other will end poorly for someone.

 

[StandOnIt]

Harvick is feeling his oats

 

[FLRacingFan]

They went for more speed over handling.

I just don’t get how they haven’t managed to adjust yet. It’s night and day between qualifying and race almost every time. And Ford’s string of dominance on these tracks is almost unprecedented. You’d expect the gap to close quicker than it has.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This has been much better then the Clash

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Kyle Busch getting lapped.

I agree, my comment was for this plate race, it was mentioned on Sunday like for HMS they chose to sacrifice some handling for more speed, we dont know if they have improved on the none plate tracks yet

 

[Charlie Spencer]

This has been much better then the Clash

If it has, it's only because it's not raining.

 

[jws926]

This has been much better then the Clash

Oh by far it has been.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Idk about the HMS guys as a whole but Byron mostly looked fine to me, he's definitely fast as hell. We'll see what Chase does, he doesn't seem to handle bad at these places ever since his self spin in his first 500.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Suarez tried to make a move and got freight trained.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Stenhouse causes a wreck on the last lap

 

[FearThe4]

If Stenhouse doesn’t wad it up, he’ll be a threat on Sunday.

he always a threat to cause the big one.

 

[StandOnIt]

Man that Suarez is getting good at passing the last place car in the line.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Don’t know why they haven’t highlighted the bubble drivers on the scoring column.

 

[StandOnIt]

crap Stenhouse making a move with Menard behind ya..good luck with that.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Don’t know why they haven’t highlighted the bubble drivers on the scoring column.

They wasted all their resources on the 3D studio

I'm happy and content. Laying here on my couch with my winter coat and boots on, full belly and NASCAR on tv.
