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

[Greg]

There are enough tracks out there that there should be very few tracks with two races.

I agree except for Darlington, North Wilksboro, Martinsville, Bristol Asphalt, and the Nashville Fairgrounds, they would be getting two races every year.

 

[jws926]

I like how they integrated the race control lights into the track lighting , that is pretty cool

 

[Naitch]

Kinda wish he was more involved in doing... something...tbh

Anything

If Teresa weren’t who she is, I wouldn’t mind seeing Dale Jr. out there in an RCR built #8 Budweiser Chevrolet. KB could have run another number this week.

It says a lot about where NASCAR has gone when a traditional race format is used for the gimmick race.

 

[Blaze]

Just did see that restart ahaha

Be careful using the 'gimmick' word, people will crucify you for it...

Pretty much agree but I would add Charlotte, Talladega, and Daytona

 

[carolinabuff]

Side note here but I hope the weather is this great 1 week from tonight

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This race is only 25 laps old and I already want to give it a points race next season. This is great

 

[Mispeedway15]

This is how I hope we can get this car to race at Martinsville. Amazing

It’s a favorite word for people who don’t like it when a sport evolves.

Andy and I are cool though. He thinks Mark Martin won the 1990 Cup Championship so I have to cut him some slack.

 

[Greg]

I would make Daytona and Talladega very special events like the Olympics. One cup event each, every four years, no points awarded and just a nice gold medal or something for performing well

 

[AdoubleU24]

DW having to remind Clint that Larson was on tires and him still ignoring it is exactly why I can't stand him

 

[nickp]

There's already been more passing tonight through the field then about the last 5 #NASCAR All Star Race events combined

 

[acmerocket]

still this has gimmicks, stopping half way and the number of tires after half way.but still better than stages.

 

[StandOnIt]

Heh heh, hello Kyle Larson

 

[StandOnIt]

Looks like a jailbreak @Revman

 

[Naitch]

Tires are king tonight. Gotta put on a new set of shoes when you get a chance.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Tires wear so much we actually got green flag stops in the ASR. Good work on the format and tire allocation as well.

 

[StandOnIt]

Four of them in the booth and they don't sound like four screaming teenage girls

 

[nickp]

It took:
26 years, 10 months, 22 days
1,390 weeks
319 months total
9,730 days total
840,672,000 seconds
14,011,200 minutes
233,520 hours

 

[Nitro Dude]

Clint, your services are no longer needed this evening.

Clint is the only one in the booth that was alert enough to know that spinhouse caused his own spin.

 

[nascarwoman]

Sneaking peeks from work. Can't wait to see the whole show tomorrow.

 

[Michfan]

Can Larry come back full time and Clint go anywhere else except my TV?

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson is only 7.5 seconds ahead lol

 

[Naitch]

Larson is a rocket right now. New tires are such a game changer.

 

[DewChaser988]

Wanna bet teams may game the system and pit around lap 90-lap 95ish. I would.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bubba is second on Larson’s strategy and may be 2nd overall by the end of the half.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Gotta do something different that's for sure

 

[Spotter22]

damn man among boys

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wanna bet teams may game the system and pit around lap 90-lap 95ish. I would.

If there’s only one free pass I think they will lose way too much time. Probably be down two laps by the time the caution comes.

 

[Spotter22]

well i was way off lol

 

[carolinabuff]

I think it would be cool to see Larson lap the field but with the comp caution coming up that's not gonna happen

 

[nickp]

That 5 car is reminding me of the TRex car that Gordon had

 

[acmerocket]

hope he still fast when they all have new tires

 

[34R7H130UND]

I love the explanation of wedge. Been watching for 20 years, I now know what the wrench in the back window does. Hahah

 

[KTMLew01]

Sling spun a bearing. I'm watching a movie on Prime.

[Blaze]

Joey’s team really messed up big time

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

DW still mad about the 1990 Spring race lol
