SRX RACE thread --- Eldora

[wi_racefan]

I was surprised he took the win. Not really all that fair considering it's his track.

I figured he'd finish second to the ringer

That was a good one right there. I hope Elliott is ok

Wasn't using right hand getting out. Pointed to right wrist.

Why does that make it not fair? Are you saying he was cheating?

I’m so sad this series is over in 3 weeks. I enjoy this so immensely

A little bit of a reoccuring trend happening
but I was still entertained. Looking forward to Indy.
That would be cool if Jeff Gordon was entered for Indy.

Cody looks like a midget next to Brad.

So does Kanaan.

 

[StandOnIt]

Tracy only thought he wrecked LaBonte..I think he hit everybody at least once

He has a million laps at this track. Meh. It was fun to watch. I DO think he purposely started from the rear. Said he hit the kill switch.

I hate historic tracks getting corporate names. I used to love watching Thursday Night Thunder from there.

Kody Swanson's expertise is not on dirt. Stewart was the ringer.

Cool to see Stewart talking up Kinser, Schatz, Hewitt etc. in his interview.

Silver Crown cars don't run dirt?

Swanson dominates pavement Crown and sprint car racing, struggles by comparison on dirt.

I'm sure he said he'd run Eldora before but had never won there.

He's running the Silver Crown race that is starting now at Eldora after the SRX race. What I'm saying is that his pavement record is the most dominant in the modern era, but dirt racing is out of his element.

Perhaps I misheard but I thought he indicated stock cars on dirt were new to him but not dirt.

Sorry if I'm being unclear. He runs Silver Crown dirt races because he runs for Silver Crown championships. They aren't his bread and butter.

Okay, I thought Silver Crown still ran both but I wasn't sure.

Maybe a first seeing Bobby Labonte pissed with hand gestures.

I have to say this but I think smoke was just keeping that one close for the show

sand bagging
To deliberately perform at a lower level than you are capable of
He was sandbagging at practice, but kicked ass at the track meets.

He’s not mad, just Italian.

 

[Old Kid]

He’s not mad, just Italian.

It's a French name. Tracy said he apologized to Bobby and accepted responsibility but said Bobby was having none of it.

nah they are sandbagging.

Seeing Helio on a dirt track is not something I thought I would ever see.

I do too but for competitiveness sake I hope they recruit some active superstars to weed out some of the AARP members with their blinkers stuck on.

The best SRX race so far

NBC would be much improved with Allen Bestwick, Matt Yocum and Lindsay Czarniak (all were part of NBC's original broadcast run) on the broadcasts.

They (NBC and others) don't want to broadcast professionally anymore. They just want to yell and create fake excitement like telling you things that are going on in the race that you can clearly see is not while insulting your intelligence all the time.

Whoever was in charge of this SRX Series has done everything right in my opinion including who they brought in to announce the race and what goes on in the pits. Even James Hinchcliff who isn't a "professional" announcer did a great job and treated the viewer with respect that he/she has a reasonable amount of knowledge about racing.
