Truck RACE thread --- Texas

[TexasRaceLady]

Going out for lunch and shopping. There shouldn't be any weather problems. Other than hot. LOL

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Elliott gets a Cup crew for the race. If I’m Zane Smith, I’m not giving Elliott an inch. It’s bad enough a Cup champion is racing a far less talented field, and he steals a Cup pit crew from a teammate too. Fuggem.

Holy PJ1

 

[Blaze]

Chase is my favorite, but I’ll be hoping he doesn’t win today. Want to see a Truck guy get it the win.

 

[Blaze]

Damn. That sucks

 

[Barbara Charles]

Come on matt and norm.

 

[StandOnIt]

Creed killed it this time

 

[JBone88]

I’ve enjoyed many a race at TMS over the years. But lordy have they ruined this joint. 3/4 of the groove smothered in PJ1. Anyone who gets half a wheel above the bottom line gets sucked around.

Elliott is doing a KDB

 

[StandOnIt]

Friesen goes for a ride

 

[AdoubleU24]

Friesen has been disappointing for a while. Didn't they switch manufacturers last year? Seems like that's about when it started.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Just now on Elliott’s radio: “there’s stage cautions, 49 cautions, and 10 cautions.”

Don’t know if it was spotter or cc.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

My neighbor is the hauler driver for the 15. Good to see them running well.

I hope you cash in on those hot pass connections when they come back!

 

[StandOnIt]

1st race back for Poole after his injury

 

[StandOnIt]

wow the 51 is junk

 

[donthaveanickname]

That kind of crash happens at Texas several times every year.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I hope you cash in on those hot pass connections when they come back!

I have a patient who is a crew chief. I won’t say what series or team (HIPAA and all that) but a couple of weeks ago he was in and said now that things are opening back up he would hook me up with a seat on the pit box with him one race.

 

[StandOnIt]

I'm liking the booth today.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Crafton is still on the lead lap.

 

[CodeMan125]

Deegan is up to 8th place

Joey can be likable when he’s not in the car.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

So 100 laps in and everyone is running the bottom, away from the 2 lanes of PJ1?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Would be cool if JHN could defeat the Cuppers.

 

[StandOnIt]

screwed up Deegan's pit stop

 

[donthaveanickname]

Clean air is still king.

 

[StandOnIt]

Clean air is still king.

and it always will be

 

[AdoubleU24]

Seems like they definitely pitted the 24 way too early unless there's a caution

almost 2 seconds back. Elliott continues to run the bottom and JHN is running a lot of the top groove

 

[ChexOrWrex]

JHN is the only one finding speed in the PJ1. Chase is trying but JHN is pulling away.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Norm is only 4.6 seconds a lap slower than John Hunter.

 

[Kiante]

JHN is just killing the game right now.

 

[AdoubleU24]

JHN is the only one finding speed in the PJ1. Chase is trying but JHN is pulling away.

His lap times were just as good, sometimes better most laps there, that pit call was just atrocious

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Great job by JHN. Always good when a regular beats out two Cuppers for the win.

 

[StandOnIt]

Good race

 

[ChexOrWrex]

His lap times were just as good, sometimes better most laps there, that pit call was just atrocious

I wasn’t watching individual times but JHN pulled away by over a second the last 15 or so laps.

 

[donthaveanickname]

That was actually quite impressive.
Good to see a race without a caution in Stage 3.

Chastain truck dqed

I'm liking the booth today.

Not me, Joey's voice and laugh grates on me. Plus, I don't like him.

 

[Team Penske]

Not me, Joey's voice and laugh grates on me. Plus, I don't like him.

and that is why it grates on you.
