Watkins Glen RACE thread

[BSDShoes]

I was thinking that the colors on that MacDonald's car were weird and now I know why...it's the Monopoly car

Swamp green isn't an ideal color.

Jeff Gordon now racing a "Modified"

 

[KevinWI]

I like Jeff Gordon driving that sweet open-wheel modified. Don't know about using a radiator as a bumper though.

 

[KevinWI]

Swamp green? Come on, man, that's the color of money.

 

[Captain Coyfish]

Bummer for Vickers -- also a bummer the announcers didn't acknowledge it happened until after it happened.

Wish they had footage of the rest of the wreck. This is why ESPN sucks.

 

[Lazyking]

Gordon will crawl around and gain some points back as these jobbers crash.

Damnit! Beat me by a minute.

 

[FLRacingFan]

If these goobers keep wrecking Jeff's points loss might not be so much.

Seems like their camera men are always on a snack break whenever something big happens. They missed the hardest recorded hit in history (Sadler at Pocono) a few years ago, missed most of Steve Wallace's big wreck at IRP a couple of years ago, etc...

 

[Lazyking]

Even still, Gordon imo is now going to have to win a race to make the chase now

 

[Jeffrey00]

this race hasn't been that great. did the gen6 destroy road races too? funny that most of the exciting tracks this year have had boring races, and the most boring track of them all California has had the best race.

Exactly. And they didn't really miss Steven Wallace's part of the wreck, but they missed the Gaughn part of it...

I think it's safe to say the crashing isn't over yet

It'd be much easier talking about these "goobers" wrecking if Jeff wasn't one of those "goobers."

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Since it's a red flag I expect some fan to run out on track for a Kenseth autograph.

 

[KevinWI]

Dick Trickle would need water and another pack of smokes for this red flag.

 

[Captain Coyfish]

IMO I have no idea why TBR is using Victor Gonzalez Jr. He's like the JWT of road courses.

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah they keep having all these restarts, surprised they are doing so well with them. I think their luck is going to run out with a little less give and take

you'll figure it out..it starts with an S and ends with an R

 

[KevinWI]

Good thing about Gordon though is that he could win at any track from now until the Chase starts.

 

[Captain Coyfish]

He has a tiny bit of funding from Mobil 1. That's it.

Problem is they're throwing the weekend away in qualifying. Track position is to important to be qualifying the way he has.

nother hint, look up toyota Nascar in Mexico, think he is running that this winter also

 

[Captain Coyfish]

So this is practice for that? Kay...still dont know why TBR decided that they would give him practice...

 

[*WEAVER*]

They should just leave the oil on the track.

 

[KevinWI]

I could of gotten a nap in during this red flag.

 

[StandOnIt]

good idea, come up with a restart alarm

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

They're moving! Repave must be complete

 

[hawg dawg]

guess this long red flag eliminates post race interviews-----straight ta sportscenter ?

 

[*WEAVER*]

As good as Ambrose is on the roadies, You would think they would have some more V8 Supercar drivers come in.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

This is taking an awkward amount of time.

 

[VaDirt]

Took 'em long enough to call Pappas going off.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

I wish they could just leave the #14 car in the shop till Tony returns.

 

[Brent]

Don't they have a camera to show what happened to Papis??? I saw him go sliding from the camera view but just barely caught it in the top corner.

 

[*WEAVER*]

Biffle turned him.

 

[Joniki]

Harvick is really running well today. I am impressed...

 

[Brent]

Vickers went to the garage? Was it only a one lap fix?

 

[Racer1930]

I've seen better camera work at a family reunion.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Boy HMS really fell off this weekend. With the exception of Johnson. Surprise

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Dinger is hanging in there.
