Southern 500 RACE thread -- Darlington

Rick got Kimi Raikonnen to fill in

I deleted that because I wanted to say, "looks like Jimmie found one of those lost steps" , but you were too quick

 

[ChexOrWrex]

That move in the 98 Daytona 500 was it when he passed Wallace on the backstretch with a lapped car in his way? Ballsiest move he ever made

No yellow line. The best.

 

[DSquad48]

Kurt is flyin

 

[Michfan]

Jimmie throwing it back to the late 2000s

 

[Blaze]

Betty White is truly badass.

Jimmie may have found that golden horseshoe.

It’s not shoved up his ass but it looks like he’s trying to sit on it.

But my question to you is...has Jimmie lost a step?

 

[Spotter22]

48 stalkin

Stupid Hamlin and his stupid team butchering the greatest paint scheme of all time. Great idea, poor execution

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I like all the Chevy teams in the top 5. But I expect JGR to get up there and soon.

Pharasing.

 

[BobbyFord]

18 told the phenom 9 bye-bye

[HoneyBadger]

Kyle Busch is insane.

Wait.... what’s wrong with it?

I admit at the time I thought it looked good. But when it hit the track this week... ehhh, it doesn’t hold up as well next to most others.

 

[Ventisca]

JJ needs curb feelers.

 

[Ilovedthe90s]

Can Larson get up there?

Yea and then he will hit the wall

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pharasing.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Jimmie has 3 wins and is active leader...it’s incredible Jeff Gordon had 6 wins at Darlington and 4 straight Southern 500’s which is a career statistic of his that never gets enough love.

 

[Spotter22]

Again, NBC, FOX when you do a radio transmission from the in car put up a closed caption!!! 9 times out of ten we cant understand it!!

 

[2 Sweet]

Wait.... what’s wrong with it?

Well for starters, it's the wrong shade of orange. There's a number of other issues but I'm nitpicky

 

[BobbyFord]

Jimmie is no longer a threat for a win.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Jimmie has 3 wins and is active leader...it’s incredible Jeff Gordon had 6 wins at Darlington and 4 straight Southern 500’s which is a career statistic of his that never gets enough love.

You might think youre cool but youre never as cool as Jeff Gordon winning the Southern 500 with no water in the engine.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Jimmie has 3 wins and is active leader...it’s incredible Jeff Gordon had 6 wins at Darlington and 4 straight Southern 500’s which is a career statistic of his that never gets enough love.

That one and his 6 straight road course wins. Insane statistic

 

[Blaze]

Well for starters, it's the wrong shade of orange. There's a number of other issues but I'm nitpicky

Maybe it’s by bad eye sight but it doesn’t look to bad.

Larson’s how ever is so off it really is noticeable. Even to a blind mfer like me.

 

[Turtle84]

Strong stage 1 for the Ganassi boys.

 

[Blake Hylton]

Stage 1
1 - Kurt Busch
48 - Jimmie Johnson
42 - Kyle Larson
18 - Kyle Busch
11 - Denny Hamlin
9 - Chase Elliott
2 - Brad Keselowski
22 - Joey Logano
19 - Martin Truex Jr.
20 - Erik Jones

 

[racingfan7]

What happened to the 48? I wasn't paying attention or did NBC screw up?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

You might think youre cool but youre never as cool as Jeff Gordon winning the Southern 500 with no water in the engine.

And he won 4 straight during the day when it was hot and those guys wheeled that car around the track

 

[2 Sweet]

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

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

JJ made up a 26 point deficit in one stage. Wow, that’s kind of impressive

 

[JGR_20]

Some of the throwbacks look amazing if you had never seen the original car

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

24 out of the top 10. What is going on

 

[harkin]

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.

 

[aunty dive]

Hamlin loses 3 spots.

Better than a speeding penalty I guess.

 

[ReturnTrip]

JJ made up a 26 point deficit in one stage. Wow, that’s kind of impressive

Getting points in the middle of the race. What a time to be alive.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Playoff Implications where every lap matters

 

[DUN24]

24 out of the top 10. What is going on

That dirty air for sure.

 

[Kiante]

Also known as, pause.

Eh **** it, I'm just being a jackass.
