Talladega Race Thread

[Nitro Dude]

It may not be as early as you think....just looked at the weather map, I don't think we're going the full 188 laps today.

In that case then Jr's crew chief should go ahead and give him the green light to go on around Kenseth and Johnson.

"They were nose to tail" lol

lol Yeah heard that, and looked over saw one of my cats sniffing the others ass after coming the house. AWESOME MOMENT FOR JIMMY!!!!!!!!! laughed my butt off.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

What a stupid pit strategy for Jeff! He's not even the first car a lap down anymore.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Pass. Jimmah. Now.

 

[Racer1930]

Oh Nooooo....sprinkles

 

[Contactpatch]

Dump him ricky

 

[ToyYoda]

"They were nose to tail" lol

Ricky is now running ahead of Danica. Danica will not be satisfied if Ricky finishes before she does

 

[Blaze]

Come on, please please please finish this race.

 

[Racer1930]

It's only 3 O'clock...surely they will try to restart unless it's a major deluge.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I sure am glad FOX has kept these race updates brief. Would hate to miss a good commercial because of this "NASCAR racing" nonsense.

2pm in Alabama. Hopefully Air Titan is a powerhouse.

Denny did do a good job on that sweater

 

[Racer1930]

Wow - if cousin Carl wins for that little mini-move that would be wild

 

[BobbyFord]

Those Fords just kicked some Bowtie ass

 

[HoneyBadger]

Wow. This sucks. If this race is determined by "the last scoring loop" and not the moment of caution, just sucks.

 

[ToyYoda]

Time for Carl to start doing a raindance.

 

[MOEJOE]

Those Fords just kicked some Bowtie ass

a restrictor plate did that

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

It's going to be about 30-45 minutes before the rain passes.

 

[MOEJOE]

Denny did do a good job on that sweater

that was the best part of the race

 

[Blaze]

Please get the race back going thank you.

 

[HoneyBadger]

YAY! We're one month away from TNT which means I'll be able to watch even more commercials without this damn pesky racing stuff interrupting them!

 

[MrSluggo]

I tried to call an eagle like that but got no Dr Pepper.

 

[MOEJOE]

It's going to be about 30-45 minutes before the rain passes.

and nascar will rollover and quit because they are losers

 

[Racer1930]

One good thing about Talladega...you can see a long ways (lots of open space) - if it's a small shower they will be able to see clear sky around it (I don't trust that newfangled radar stuff).

 

[FLRacingFan]

God, please get this race going again. Biggest bore of the year if it ends like this.

 

[Blaze]

Wow. This sucks. If this race is determined by "the last scoring loop" and not the moment of caution, just sucks.

From that one view they just showed seem Carl MIGHT have been ahead either way, but I couldn't really fully tell.

What will suck if this race ends cause of rain.

 

[VanFan69]

The heck with all this splainin' it's time for wet tires! And bravery, plenty of bravery!

 

[BobbyFord]

a restrictor plate did that

 

[MrSluggo]

I see no reason to call it at this point Talladega dries fast because of the banking and it's only 3:15PM.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

I hate rain shortened races.

 

[BobbyFord]

Only a lunatic would run a plate race in the rain.

 

[FLRacingFan]

They waited three hours yesterday and ran until it was dark. May as well do the same and give the fans their money's worth again today.

 

[GrizzlyBearBob]

I hope this rain delay will not end the race.

 

[Racer1930]

I see no reason to call it at this point Talladega dries fast because of the banking and it's only 3:15PM.

Agreed - and as I was reminded - only 2:15 there (Central Time) - although I would imagine decisions will be based on E.S.T. since that's what the programming revolves around.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Only a lunatic would run a plate race in the rain.

Could be worse - could run a race in the rain on slicks like IndyCar did at Loudon a few years ago. That was an epic clusterfluck.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I hope this rain delay will not end the race.

I don't think it will. There's an area of dryness behind this pocket of rain passing over the track right now.

 

[VanFan69]

Only a lunatic would run a plate race in the rain.

Ya know, that is one of the words my therapist uses...

 

[Gordon_Fan24]

Rain Delay would be the perfect ending for a race THIS boring...

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The radar they just showed on TV has got to be the poorest quality radar I have ever seen.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Only a lunatic would run a plate race in the rain.

But that's what the fans are there to see - wrecks.
