RACE thread --- Duels from Daytona

[KodiakRusty89]

By that logic why bother with any of this? Just accept the guy in front of you is better and just ride around until the checkers. Nobody’s saying let’s wad up 15 cars. But I don’t really understand the defense of 40 laps of single file by the wall until turn of of the last lap.

Because the best cars should naturally sort themselves out. If they haven't the positions will change accordingly. I would say you have to accept it if you can't make it happen in a clean manner.

I think single file racing is smart on a plate trick in order to log laps. You have to be there in the end to have a chance at a win and solid finish. I'd like to see more separation between the cars. That way the haves can deviate from the have nots instead of being at the mercy of pack racing. That's how earlier plate racing was.

You guys and girls think the racing will be the same sunday? 80 degrees compared to 60-59 with sunshine?

We can only hope not.

 

[DIDIT]

Soooooo tired of the winners interview like Harvick with little emotion thanking his sponsors, the team, the guys back at the shop with a ME girl taking a smile behind....nothing about the race. Bummer.

 

[Spotter22]

We can only hope not.

It wont

 

[Efisher131]

Well lets see. wreck your car or start 2 spots better? lol

They do it in the points paying races too. I see you're starved for a fight tonight.

 

[StandOnIt]

Bubba knew he had to make something happen, pretty cool

HUH? Ok buddy. I was asking a question. But please continue. This is before a race ever starts. But yeah , you know.

 

[Turtle84]

JJ isn’t the only one making dumb moves.

A lot of dumb moves, but I guess that's what happens when you're desperate for a low line.

 

[2 Sweet]

Go 9! Go 88!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Ready for this 2nd duel! Go 9 and 42 !!

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[Johali]

Go #9.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Tell us how you really feel Kyle.



In all honestly I don't blame him for being mad. This is the second time during Speedweeks the 48's gotten into some one.

 

[StandOnIt]

I think I figured it out for the 88, they are trying to get Elliott a good starting spot because I believe the 88 has a guaranteed spot on the front row

The Kurt/Jimmie feud of old was pretty good.

I am eagerly awaiting the next with Kyle.

What is "destroyed" according to Kyle?

 

[DewChaser988]

That Lajoie scheme will haunt my nightmares

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Corey LaJoie's is unique, I'll give it that.

 

[jws926]

Here we go, Duel #2

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Once again the inside lane is slower than molasses.

 

[DSquad48]

Looks something like this

Look at that form. A real Sugar Ray Leonard.

 

[JBone88]

Exactly. Remember spring Talladega? Literally 30 laps of single file behind Logano until the checkers.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Thank u Blaney

 

[FearThe4]

good hard racing between the 62 and 66 fighting to get in the 500

 

[Kiante]

Gase's splitter is just on the ground.

I'll tell you what Gaughan and Gase are fighting hard.

 

[SlicedBread22]

There u go.. side by side racing

 

[Kiante]

I'll give Hamlin credit, he's always the first one to try to make runs happen on plate tracks.

Battle of the Busteds

 

[kyle18fan]

Nothing to gain for most of the field, why race or tear up a car

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Give Hamlin credit for trying to make something happen, but without a lot of help the bottom lane is a bust.

 

[Acs]

Ditching the ride height rule has killed this plate package. Get ready for another huge ratings drop because this 500 is going to be booooooooooooooooring.

 

[Kiante]

Oh what reflexes by Kurt in avoiding Logano.

 

[FearThe4]

you know something I've never been able to figure out after all these years is why do the front row cars run this race? I mean they locked in to the front row why do they have to risk gettng torn up in these q races when they already locked into their postion.

 

[Kiante]

Jones too fast exiting.

 

[racer8]

I'll give Hamlin credit, he's always the first one to try to make runs happen on plate tracks.

I was thinking the same thing

You have to find out what your car can do in a race situation.

 

[lisa]

What did I miss?

 

[FearThe4]

You have to find out what your car can do in a race situation.

yeah true use it as a practice session but sometime these races can get crazy.

 

[Efisher131]

You have to find out what your car can do in a race situation.

Especially a guy like Byron with limited experience. Good for him to log race laps.

 

[DIDIT]

Thank u Blaney

He has done this many times for his teammates, but I have rarely seen the favor returned.
