Trucks at Talladega

[HoneyBadger]

I'm getting ready to head out to Franklin County Speedway -- but before I do, Ryan Hackett (who races dirt lates at Potomac Speedway) is running the truck race today.

GO RYAN!

 

[Matthew2470]

At least you didn't call him "Ry-Ry".

You know instead of showing the announcers playing paint ball how about we start the race before I leave for work?

That "FOX Sports SPEED" logo on the screen says it all, doesn't it?

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Blaney trying to talk to his crew and Phil Parsons still trying to push his way in. Not like drivers wanna discuss strategy or anything

 

[HoneyBadger]

Bring back tandem drafting.

Hornaday just did.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Figure I'll watch this race today since there's no NW race.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Is this TNT?

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Is this TNT?

Three commercial breaks in the past 5 minutes. Nothing new for a truck race.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Holy crap, they're STILL at commercial?

 

[HoneyBadger]

Oh come on FOX/SPEED, surely you can get ONE MORE commercial break in

 

[HoneyBadger]

I really need a DirecTV HD receiver. You should see what SPEED looks like in standard definition. I can't make out any of the text or anything on the picture. It's just one big foggy cloudy picture with a bunch of trucks on the screen. Completely unwatchable.

Is it time to leave for Franklin County yet?

 

[Tennessee Racing]

My speed has gone black

 

[Canadian GP]

Speed channel just went blank, anyone else the feed?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Speed just missed the restart while at commercial.

 

[Canadian GP]

Back now.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Back now.

Not mine. IDK what's going on.

Finally back on.

They announced about ten minutes ago that some people lost their siginal due to solar flares and apologised for it.

No interruptions for me in Texas.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

JWT doing what he does best.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The 2nd line is able to move forward now.

 

[FenderBumper]

Andy, how many commercials so far?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I see we're back to single file racing again.

 

[Joniki]

That was a dang hard hit.

 

[HoneyBadger]

How was it? I was at Franklin County watching a great race.

Had a 10 car wreck occur directly in front of me.

I turned it off and went to a real racetrack. FOX Sports/SPEED blows. That was ALMOST as bad as TNT.

 

[nascage]

Great race. These trucks always put on a good show, and I felt today was no exception.

Although I wish NASCAR would've let these guys race to the checkers rather than throw a yellow for a backstretch crash. They would've had plenty of time to slow down before getting back there.
But I understand. Really hard hit for the #6 truck.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Ryan Hackett, 17th.

I get my DIRECTV equipment from http://www.solidsignal.com/cview.as...twork-satellite-equipment&c=DIRECTV Receivers
But you can call DIRECTV and see if they have any deals to get you upgraded on the cheap. You may need a new SWM. If you get a DVR insist in an HR 24 and have them install a DECA so you can network it (for VOD, Youtube and other streaming apps).

 

[StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing]

Really hard hit for the #6 truck.

Just another reason why these safety barriers are amazing. He would have been heading to the hospital if he hit he old walls like that.
