Maybe the 18 will blow a tire

 

[RacerrecaR]

Loving the green flag stops.

Also great job by Menard trying to block Kyle on pit road

 

[Kiante]

Lol 11 and 48.

 

[Racer1930]

Race car drivers caught speeding....who would have thunk it

God this sucks. Is this what you old timer's want this sport to be like? No cautions, no chance to catch up, no competition whatsoever. Just watching Kyle Busch turn laps for 3 hours.

I'll take this over false cautions and shot clocks to artificially bunch up the field.

Part of this is the track, which doesn't normally produce an entertaining race.

Just watching Kyle Busch turn laps for 3 hours.

I am completely OK with this.

 

[carolinabuff]

'Bout time for Joey to pit.

EDITED: Looks like everyone else is coming in too. Will this put him on the same strategy with the rest of them? From lap 86, everyone should be able to make it on one more stop.

Depends on if the others stop more than once the rest of the way

Better than stupid gimmicks like a caution clock, debris cautions, the Chase, etc.

There's plenty of competition and strategy in this race and it's quite entertaining. Busch may be dominating now, but just remember that the final lap is what counts. With all the strategy going on the end of this race could be crazy.

Oh well, at least Elliott is one spot ahead of Danica.

 

[JimmieGordon2448]

Sucks the cup race was rained out and they're replaying the XFINITY race from yesterday

Turn it off then

Find consolation where you can. They'll be the next two cars to go a lap down.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Maybe they can install a chicane on the backstretch next year.

Shouldn't that be 'JimmyGordon8848'?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Maybe they should use the road course.

 

[Racer1930]

It'll be fine...somebody will toss a hotdog wrapper with 15 laps to go...then we will have the "big one" and drivers will be cussing over the radios and then likely a fight or two...be patient Acs

Just a reminder about the old days. Watch the 85 Talladega race where Bill Elliott made up almost 2 full laps UNDER the green to win.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I wish someone had put Tony on the scale before this race so we could compare.

You're evil. LMAO.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Good lord, NBC...5 minutes of nothing but in-car footage.

 

[Michfan]

Came back from commercial to show in car shots for a few minutes and then back to commercial lol

 

[cheesepuffs]

Pretty blah race. Even lower downforce please.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

You're evil. LMAO.

I'm quite serious. I've been on Army maneuvers in the summer and dropped 7 pounds of water.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Pretty blah race. Even lower downforce please.

Lower downforce won't do much at this track since it's only 1 groove. A softer tire might do more than less downforce.

Kyle Busch smoking the field for 5 minutes, commercials, rinse and repeat. NBC in 2016.

 

[Kiante]

Carl is catching Kyle.

Nah, its just traffic being an annoyance.

This right here, I will take a boring race over one filled with entertainment gimmicks

 

[ReturnTrip]

Good thing Gustafson isn't working on Jeff's car this week.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Carl isn't good on new tires, and they're going to pit in 8 or 10 laps.

 

[DUN24]

Gibbs stinks up all the shows rn.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Jeff about to pass people, time for more commercials.

 

[cheesepuffs]

Lower downforce would allow the following car to stay close to the leading cars bumper through the corner so that the following car could get a tow on the straights and make the pass.

Yeah, he had shaved 7 seconds down to 2 for a bit

 

[DUN24]

I need a yellow.

 

[jws926]

No different from when it was HMS sticking up the shows

 

[DUN24]

Thank **** for NASCAR non-stop. I'd really be wondering what the 18 is doing at the moment, otherwise.

 

[Racer1930]

Key insight: Jeff said "arrgar en %$&* snick @#$"...his Crew Chief responded: "7#gliberrish trackbar".

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Drink less.

 

[Kiante]

Not if you're a fan of Toyota. I have been struggling to stay awake, I drunk a soda and I don't often. I think that was the reason why tiredness hit me.
