RACE thread --- The Open and the All-Star

[Charlie Spencer]

All I watch on cable anymore is racing, breaking news, and Smithsonian Channel. Most of my TV consumption is streaming media.

Racing. Golf. PBS. TCM. Big Bang Th- ... oh,wait...

 

[ChexOrWrex]

What is this Mickey Mouse sh!t?

An advertisement for Monster.

 

[2 Sweet]

Go Chase!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Go Chase!

Wrong number.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is there a mandatory green-flag stop this year?

 

[DUN24]

The open didn't record.. How ****** retarded

 

[jws926]

Here we go!

 

[StandOnIt]

Pinky to the lead

 

[HoneyBadger]

I wish the power of resurrection was real so Bobby Watson could come back to life. Dude put together better pre-race shows at Carteret County with absolutely no money than Monster did with a multi-million dollar budget.

 

[Spotter22]

Lets get it!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Literally no contact

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Hopefully it gets better because this has been awful so far

 

[ChexOrWrex]

“The hoods in the duct”

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Let's get the non-All Stars back out there, please.

 

[Switchback]

The 18 might as well not push the issue. His crew will get him the lead after the first pit stop.

 

[DewChaser988]

I'm liking what I'm seeing from this aero package so far

 

[AdoubleU24]

Not a whole lot going on...

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Let's get the non-All Stars back out there, please.

This race has a history of having a fantastic open and snoozefests for the main.

Macy's called and would like their parade back.

The Open is one of the best races of the year, every year. One reason I've said I'd like to see a "Wild Card Race" before the playoffs.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

PLEASE let this turn into a Harvick vs Busch spark show. The hype for this race needs some action.

 

[AdoubleU24]

GET OFF THE DAMN TRACK

Why does NASCAR tolerate that crap

 

[FLRacingFan]

Didn't look like Jones tried to preserve the body much there...

 

[Efisher131]

That must be the car that was in the wall a few laps ago

You ever try to steer a car with a front tire down at 150?

 

[racingfan7]

Nice crowd tonight for 2019 from what I see. Would love to see this race on the roval and see how much hype there would be.

 

[2 Sweet]

Anyone else think it's silly that they call it "overtime"....especially since its only the first stage lol

 

[ChexOrWrex]

What, no pink suites to match the car? Laaaaaaaame

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The 18 might as well not push the issue. His crew will get him the lead after the first pit stop.

Well played.

 

[DaBiff1618]

NASCAR overtime for a stage that means nothing

 

[StandOnIt]

You ever try to steer a car with a tire down at 150?

hmm might have pulled to the right a bit.

 

[Efisher131]

Hey Brad, this race doesn't pay stage points

 

[StandOnIt]

NASCAR overtime for a stage that means nothing

that bothers ya does it?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Hey Brad, this race doesn't pay stage points

Thinks he's Ty Dillon.

 

[FLRacingFan]

If they're not resetting for the final segment by average finish or anything I don't see why we need to do this.

 

[DewChaser988]

I feel like the problem with the All Star Race is the drivers have no real incentive to go all out throughout the entire race. Which is why the old "Survival of The Fastest" elimination format needs to be brought back, combined with monetary bonuses for winning segments

 

[racingfan7]

Eliminations, average finish. Idk why we need 19 guys at the end

 

[Charlie Spencer]

If they're not resetting for the final segment by average finish or anything I don't see why we need to do this.

More restarts means more accidents means more meat for the 'fans'

 

[REBS31]

Jimmie lol
