Xfinity RACE thread --- Loudon

Just flicked on the race, cup guys in the lead & NBC only went 3 laps before going to commercial. Yeah no, Im out.
 
Wow , what an impressive win :sarcasm:

Glad I didnt waste my time watching the entire race.
 
Tomorrow should be interesting.

Get cup drivers out of xfinity. Would have been an awesome race today.

NBC and FOX are ****** up with two consecutive interviews like this.

Just keep it at the start/finish line and let the drivers celebrate with their team in VL.
 
nah this was NBC's idea all the way. Quite a few came down to the fence, but it doesn't play well on TV IMO

NBC has the right idea. Victory lane should be on the frontstretch where the fans can see it, not in the middle of the infield where only the team members, a select few photographers and sponsors can see it.

One of the many reasons Martinsville:wub: is the greatest track on the circuit.

The driver goes through 3 different interviews which amount to pretty much the same questions.

Start/finish line. Victory lane. Press Consference.

Dudeeeeee

Maybe Kyle can finally win a race this year that he is not competing against second tier guys trying to move up.....

Actually...... I hope he doesn't......... wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if he never won a Cup race again...


He's a self centered jerk.......

Just finished watching the DVR'ed race...RYAN PREECE!!! WOW!!! I am BLOWN AWAY by what he did today! He played all the cards correctly. Watching him compete and pass Larson, Keselowski, and Busch was incredible. Just incredible. Weeks ago I was watching him pass modified drivers who are from the same crop as him. Now he's a standout. It has been SO MUCH FUN watching him and following his career since he came on the radar around 09' or so.

I've been saying for a few years on the board he's not another 20 year old rookie who's racing in good equipment paid for by Daddy's money. He's 26. He's paid his dues. He's not a prodigy that we've heard about since he was 16. He's not someone who gets a press conference the day he signs with a team. He's been working his way up in the Northeast quietly. That's what's so remarkable. We hear about rookies and how great they're gonna be years before they're driving on the national circuit. We also hear the commentators say "Mr. No-name had a great top-15 today..." after the race. We see people we've never heard of finish great at Talledaga and Daytona...through skill and luck. But today...many, many fans turned on a race today who had never heard of Ryan Preece. He didn't get lucky, he didn't get a 10-second camera shot of him running tenth. He ran up front and kicked ass. All. Day. Long. And he turned heads...a lot of heads.

I don't know what's better...watching him kick ass against the big boys, or watching him kick ass at the local short track. I get to watch him kick ass at Stafford again next week. And then Iowa.

It's bittersweet...I know if he has another race half as good as today's was at Iowa it's unlikely he'll be at Stafford much in 2018. But I'll get to see him racing the dream he's chased as long as I've been a fan of his.




Wow. If you're from the Northeast, where the number of modified drivers who've made it to Cup over the past 30 years could be counted on one hand, it's been a great day :)
