SRX RACE thread --- Knoxville

[TexasRaceLady]

Putting this up now. Going out to dinner with friends. We get to talking and forget about the time.

 

[Old Kid]

Been waiting all day for this.

 

[StandOnIt]

They say the Indy drivers were surprisingly fast in practice.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

5 minutes into the broadcast and the race is about to start. Feels like the old days

 

[Kiante]

PT is so cringey at times, sheesh.

 

[gnomesayin]

Watching because I love Knoxville Raceway. Would have probably gone if I had paid more attention and realized that the 410 sprints are running tonight as well.

The seating capacity is 21,000+, so be aware that it always looks empty for every event except the Knoxville Nationals.

 

[Blaze]

So glad they did the colors on the running order.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pulling for Deegan.

 

[StandOnIt]

Nerf him Deegan

 

[Blaze]

Come on get around Smoke!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Ribbs is still at Stafford.

 

[gnomesayin]

Maybe should have gone red for Tracy brushing the wall. Maybe should have canceled the whole evening.

Ribbs is still at Stafford.

Normally I'd care but for this series it seems like he's still having a blast

Loooool

 

[wi_racefan]

I think smoke is playing with them to give it a good show

If they're going to prep the track like this for the Trucks, that would be a good thing. These things drive credibly around here for a heavy stock car.

 

[Spotter22]

Bloomquist sandbagging?

 

[Old Kid]

I can't believe they had to throw in a 3 minute commercial break during a 10 minute race. A-holes.

Tony is taking the lead before the end of this heat

Entertainment Yellow

 

[Blaze]

The yellow thing the only thing I don’t like. Let them run green as long as they can.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Tracy is having a bad night. He loves that wall. LOL

 

[gnomesayin]

Tracy doesn't have a clue what he's doing. Can't hold a line, which was helping him from getting passed on the outside. It's entertaining that he is tempted to try to run the top though.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Man they cant see **** down the back

 

[Old Kid]

Tracy is having a bad night. He loves that wall. LOL

He's like Sammy Swindell without the speed.
And now he's really in the wall.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

 

[Old Kid]

Bloomquist, no big surprise there. I wonder if Helio could have stayed out front had there not been the cautions? He was looking good until then.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Accountability. Imagine that.

Good guy, Bestwick.

 

[gnomesayin]

Nicely done feature on the track.

 

[Blaze]

God I love Helio lol

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I never miss the Knoxville Nationals when they're on TV. The four wide, the flashing lights in the suites saluting the drivers.
Nothing like it.

 

[Blaze]

LOL Mikey

 

[gnomesayin]

Half the races I was going to watch tonight got rained out, and somehow all the others are currently downtime while this is downtime.

 

[gnomesayin]

It's cute that they're more taken with saying "slide job" than actually figuring out what it is.

 

[wi_racefan]

Francis is really impressive for not being a dirt guy

[ChexOrWrex]

That’s exactly what I expected Helio’s car to look like after his first time on dirt.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

PT vs Mikey is the rival I didn’t know I wanted or needed

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Goldberg had a real tough time tonight.

 

[Blaze]

Paul Tracy vs Mikey wasn’t a feud I was expecting. But I’m here for it.
