Xfinity RACE thread --- Chicago

[Nitro Dude]

No Cup driver hate in Xfin unless the driver’s last name is Buschhhhhhhhhhh...

When they hate you...then you know you got their attention.

If they hate you it’s because you’re winning.

Rutt looked liked a mermaid lol.we used burlap sacks when I was a kid.

More like a sea cow

It seemed like a short run...

Cindric's being black flagged for missing his right side window.

JHN is unsponsored this weekend... don't like to see that.

 

[BobbyFord]

I long for the time when you could run up behind a guy through the corner and loosen him up, regardless of the track size. Nowadays you run up behind a guy in the corner, you lose 15 car lengths.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Used to be bad luck in the old days. Some guys would never go around one.

I see

 

[Ventisca]

It doesn't look hot to me.

 

[machinistman3]

They should have the cool suit perfected by now. I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t have one.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Though break for Allgaier.

You gotta have an HD connection.

The lastcar block posted an article about that earlier this week. A cool suit is at least $10,000 and smaller teams can't afford them. Both RWR drivers had health issues during the Sonoma race.

My dad was the only smart one of gramma’s kids to bail Chicago in 1956. He’d been out here before on a Harley Knucklehead several times. Finally made it real in ‘56, driving Route 66 in a ‘55 Thunderbird. Opened up an auto repair shop on Highland and Fountain in Hollywood.
Otherwise I’d be wearing snow gear half of the year.

That's really not good. It was problems related to heat exhaustion that forced Kasey Kahne to retire.

Just got worse.

I think Kasey had a medical condition that made him more susceptible to heat related health issues.

 

[machinistman3]

Lesson learned Ross?

 

[FLRacingFan]

You can get a guy loose in Xfinity.

 

[gnomesayin]

I wish NBC had a B team for Xfinity races just so it was anyone other than Allen and Burton calling these races.

This is good challenging intermediate racing. The current Xfinity package is far better than the Cup one.

Looks like Logano is a little bit rusty when it comes to this style...

 

[BobbyFord]

Jones is persistent but can’t help getting loose up off of that bottom groove through the corner.
High line is going to carry the speed through the corner.
Gotta love this air package.
It’ll be much less noticeable tomorrow /s.

“He’s losing his s**t awful”

The addition of the right-side-window apparently plays a huge role in that.

Allgaier: “...dirty air..”
I like some dirty things but dirty air is intolerable.

 

[donthaveanickname]

No Cup driver hate in Xfin unless the driver’s last name is Buschhhhhhhhhhh...

It's kinda ironic that Harvick's main sponsors are Jimmie John's and Buschhhhhhhhhhhhh Beer.

Wondering
If the 39 spins again with 2 to go will NASCAR throw a yellow flag

 

[donthaveanickname]

McLeod hasn't really done many mistakes this year. He is usually on the same level as Leicht and Smithley.

Yes.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Did he just say Christian Bell?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

121 degrees in the car they said, whoa boy that’s hot. I wonder how hot it is in those stands

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I like the Xfinity regulars beating Logano thus far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Nice to see Annett's strategy pay off.

These races should all be run at night in hot climates.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Yea for sure it’s a mistake they moved today and tomorrow back to the day. Honestly makes me worried about this Speedway’s future

 

[harkin]

Sliced has fallen back over a second now.

 

[machinistman3]

He talks so much he misses all the action.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Custer driving away from Logano. Very impressive. Wow Rick says we have a Big 3 in Xfinity??? So glad this boob is back!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Gragson running himself into the wall trying to get back at Cindric...

 

[donthaveanickname]

NO, please not. Get rid off the Right-side Windows and improve the cooling.
Night races are impossible to watch for me.
