Southern 500 RACE thread -- Darlington

On the 42, I think it's the satin wrap they use. It needs to be high gloss

And the numbers being a different color, and the green on the lower rear panel/bumper not being bright green doesnt help it either. It close though, a hell of a lot closer than last's years attempt, that was just awful.

Hamlin loses 3 spots.

Better than a speeding penalty I guess.

His crew calls that pit road success

 

[ReturnTrip]

I want Jimmie to win as much as I want him to never use that paint scheme ever again.

He’s doing well but long way to go and he has a habit recently of moving backwards after starting well.

And Byron really paying for that stubborn lug nut.

I hear FedEx loves it.

 

[Kiante]

JJ's paint scheme screams the 90s.

Its pretty cool.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Showing that picture of Jr in the Goodwrench uni reiterates the point he really did grow up in the sport and public eye.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

WE WANT KEN SQUIRE

JJ's paint scheme screams the 90s.

Its pretty cool.

Looks like a paper cup from the mall food court

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Not hearing screaming every second is a nice change of pace

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’d be okay if they got Bob Jenkins too

 

[BobbyFord]

The 48 isn’t a threat.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Not hearing screaming every second is a nice change of pace

DJ is so smooth and professional. NBC underutilizes him

 

[jws926]

Bob said he has ZERO interest in coming back to the booth.

I would love to post the source but I cant remember where it was he said that.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kyle Busch has difficulty settings on low. Sheesh.

 

[2 Sweet]

Not hearing screaming every second is a nice change of pace

This is soooo much better.

DJ and Kyle Petty need to be in the booth permanently

 

[Blaze]

Saying Denny hasn’t shown his hand yet when I just saw them both!!

 

[JGR_20]

‘Weather’ might have something more to say about this race, before too much longer

 

[carolinabuff]

Great crowd tonight, nice not seeing tons of empty seats. And this after a 4-hour weather delay.

 

[2 Sweet]

Bob said he has ZERO interest in coming back to the booth.

That's a shame. Bob was the BEST in his day

Rain back on the way?

 

[harkin]

It’s so FedEx that they should probably cut them a check. Lol at choosing a scheme that makes everyone think of the hottest driver in August.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

DJ is so smooth and professional. NBC underutilizes him

Bestwick, DJ and Petree the last 2 years on ESPN were so underrated

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Stop it.

 

[BobbyFord]

Flat footed isn’t racing.

 

[JGR_20]

Rain back on the way?

Moisture to the east of the track is building. Not a threat at the exact second... but another 50 minutes or so it might worth another look

 

[Truex_rox]

Chip Ganassi is running 1-2, excellent showing from them at what I believe to be NASCAR's toughest track to master.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I miss watch Mark Martin race. Smartest racer I’ve ever seen.

 

[Kiante]

Looks like a paper cup from the mall food court

Nah, I dig it.

Its reminds me of the Chargers lightening bolt, just in orange and purple. Its pretty darn neat.

 

[Blaze]

Wonder what they do if it rains. Isn’t official until after Stage 2, and everyone has to leave tomorrow because of the hurricane..

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Flat footed isn’t racing.

I’ve never heard the word momentum used at Darlington as much as I’ve heard tonight

 

[DUN24]

The aero racing is about to get the 9 car wadded up.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Great battle between 9 and 22. Don’t use up your stuff fellas!

 

[BobbyFord]

I’ve never heard the word momentum used at Darlington as much as I’ve heard tonight

Jesus.

 

[2 Sweet]

F*** off Logano

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wreck yourself, wreck the #9, & still cant get around Elliott.

Good job.

 

[DSquad48]

The 48 isn’t a threat.

Only to your psyche every week

Sad, innit?

Bob said he has ZERO interest in coming back to the booth.

I would love to post the source but I cant remember where it was he said that.

He does the PA at Indy every May. A nice trip down memory lane watching the live streams.

 

[JGR_20]

It is interesting. I feel like they’ll desperately try to get this thing to be official. Whereas other occasions they’d just try the next day. It might work out fine anyhow. Just something the teams are probably checking

 

[Truex_rox]

I'm honestly pulling for Kurt get his long-awaited Darlington redemption.

 

[Kiante]

Logano got around Chase. He's fallen back to 13th.

 

[BobbyFord]

Only to your psyche every week

No, I mean really. Where izzie?
