The 600 RACE thread ---

[mkline]

I raced desert in SoCal in the 70s (on my husky 250). I was pretty good (AMA expert).
He went by me one time and it was like I was standing still. I couldn't even contemplate going that fast and having any control over the bike.

I'm guessing whoever your driver is he ain't out front. Am I right?
Don't try to be a buzzkill, I'm having a good night.

Is that why you were trolling?

 

[DanicaFreak]

dp come from behind? not over yet

 

[Joniki]

They are about to make me get up and go get a bucket of chicken.

Hot wings...

Watching OTA means no delay! Great hearing scanner in sync with the TV for a change.

I grilled 4 lbs for the race, now I'm out dang it!

 

[Johali]

No

 

[lisa]

Man, Kurt is doing so well.

 

[Reck]

Bunch of amateurs in that 15 crew.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bonehead award to Bowyer's crew.

 

[ISUFan22]

Dumb, dumb move by the #15 team there not changing all 4 on the first stop.

 

[DSquad48]

Why not change 4 when you have a vibration? Risk vs. return for taking just 2 doesn't seem to be worth it.

 

[BobbyFord]

Not trolling at all.
Get yourself another drink, Otis...

 

[Nitro Dude]

Hot wings...

Sorry, but there is just enough meat on a chicken wing to make me mad. But, you give me 2 breasts, 2 thighs, and a half a dozen drum sticks and i'm a happy camper.

Unless they knew they left one right side tire loose and would'nt admit it.

 

[Brent]

Not gonna lie, I'm not really into this race right now.

Good point

That's why you need a pile of 'em

Junior drives by the 24 on the top. Interesting. Looks like the 24 is close, but still not in the league of the 4 and the 48.

Let's see if Alan can get to work and get it the speed it needs to compete.

Charlotte in general is just a boring track.

Charlotte in general is just a boring track.

I imagine business will pick up in the last 100 miles when everyone is tired and engines are at their limit.

 

[BobbyFord]

Charlotte in general is just a boring track.

There have been some good races here. Anytime you have a 500 or 600 mile race there are going to be some boring parts. Fontana was terrible when it was a 500 miler (unless you were there.)
I expect the ending will be good, even if Brian has to throw a phantom yeller into the mix...

 

[KahneFan]

Charlotte in general is just a boring track.

I was hoping these new set-ups in the gen 6 cars would make for better racing, not the case tonight unfortunately.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Charlotte in general is just a boring track.

You've never been have you?

 

[Professur]

Why no Danica updates?

 

[beantownkid10]

Okay, nevermind Gordon back around Jr.

 

[Joniki]

This track is a great place to be AT a race.

 

[DSquad48]

Tire coming apart on the 48.

Good thing it's pit time

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I've been to Charlotte several times, and yes, it can get boring at times.

 

[ToyYoda]

Charlotte in general is just a boring track.

I'm not much of a fan of it either. I've just been checking this one periodically to see what's going on, I'll probably come back for the last 50 laps.

 

[Brent]

On the plus side, Jamie has a good car. It'd be good to see him get the win and enter the chase, even if he wouldn't stand a chance of winning the championship.

 

[beantownkid10]

Green flag stops...

 

[DanicaFreak]

PIT!!!!

 

[BobbyFord]

Tire coming apart on the 48.

Good thing it's pit time

See, this race is getting better

 

[Wingnutcnc]

I love green flag racing. The less cautions there are the better I enjoy the race.

 

[SpeedPagan]

Uh oh, tires are coming apart for Johnson....please no RF issue, please no RF issue, please no RF issue....

 

[DanicaFreak]

gotta be a caution

 

[BobbyFord]

Nice break for Larson

 

[DSquad48]

See, this race is getting better
