No different from when it was HMS sticking up the shows

I don't remember Saturday and Sunday domination from HMS every weekend.

But yeah Kyle Busch is as exciting to watch right now as Jimmie Johnson was.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Why was Kasey trying to park it in the middle of the turn?

 

[RacerrecaR]

Ryan Blaney (Ford driver) who posted the fastest top speed of the race should put all the talk of Toyota having a horsepower advantage to rest.

 

[jws926]

I need a yellow.

I don't remember HMS ever having much of a Saturday program to dominate with.

 

[DSquad48]

After getting lapped by 18

Chad: get on his ass lets go!
JJ: I'm f***ing going!

As a 48 fan, this long stretch of bad performances sucks

 

[RacerrecaR]

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.

True, but a softer tire would mean more tire falloff, resulting in even more passing opportunities for drivers who can wheel a car around the track when grip is minimal.

 

[kk5fan]

This is the most boring race I've ever seen.

 

[Michfan]

I think I see the 18s cords on the tires

 

[RacerrecaR]

Why was Kasey trying to park it in the middle of the turn?

It's a new strategy he's trying.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Has the #18 team repainted the #78 car from Charlotte?

 

[RacerrecaR]

This is the most boring race I've ever seen.

Said everyone who watched yesterday's race. This race is filled with strategy.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

"This changes everything"

 

[Clutch]

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

I'm gonna buy you a Kyle Busch Xfinity shirt for you to wear proudly.

 

[Michfan]

Carl had cut a 7 second lead down to a second. I think the 19 may be a little faster

 

[Racer1930]

Thank you David...glad you are Okay

 

[jws926]

And BK brings out another yellow

 

[breatheoflife]

Has anyone ever swept both qualifying and the races in a single weekend?

 

[Professur]

Damn phantom debris cautions

 

[JimmieGordon2448]

I don't remember HMS ever having much of a Saturday program to dominate with.

And this is why they have a retired driver as their only option to take over an opening

 

[Kiante]

Blew a tire.

That sucks.

 

[jws926]

Well, since you said that in the Cup, I figured we were just talking about Cup programs, not grouping both series together, so lets take out the X series , and HMS does apply, and that is what I was meaning

 

[breatheoflife]

Carl had cut a 7 second lead down to a second. I think the 19 may be a little faster

Traffic was holding the 18 up.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That retired guy is running 10th going into the pits, ahead of the other Hendrick drivers.

 

[jws926]

I don't remember HMS ever having much of a Saturday program to dominate with.

Nope, and I wasnt saying they did, or implying.

 

[Michfan]

Traffic was holding the 18 up.

I believe they both had to get through traffic...six seconds is a lot to make up

 

[jws926]

Dont think it mattered, Kyle got out first,

 

[jaqua19]

I was on raceview the entire run. Carl had him beat in clean air. Had 2-3 tenths on him in clean air and in traffic. If Carl can get into p2 and not lose spots on this restart, he's gonna be all over KB in about 15-20 laps.

 

[JimmieGordon2448]

That's the sad part

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I believe they both had to get through traffic...six seconds is a lot to make up

Again, Carl was slow on new tires after the last two stops. 35 or so laps after going green may not be enough for the car to come in and catch Kyle.

 

[jws926]

That's the sad part

Right.

 

[breatheoflife]

I believe they both had to get through traffic...six seconds is a lot to make up

They are only going to try to hold the leader up so they don't get passed. Once they are a lap down, they aren't going to be as agressive with the 2nd place car.

 

[Acs]

nice job NBC staying on commercial up until the last minute and missing possibly the most exciting thing to happen this race.

 

[DSquad48]

Chase?

What most exciting thing did we miss ?

 

[Michfan]

Yeah, but some people want to say it was all lap cars lol

 

[jws926]

Chase?

Chase was driving a "JR Motorsports" car

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Chase?

Other than Chase?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Chase was driving a "JR Motorsports" car

JR is Hendrick's farm team, but one driver for a couple of years doesn't count as long-term dominance of the series.

 

[Speedbowl14]

So I can wake up now?
