Flat tire. And he spins. LOL

 

[Brentford]

Great, now they can brag about how Bell has once again passed 10 cars in 7 laps.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I'm still thinking Bell will win.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Too soon.

Awright, forgot the race was on NBC, I can watch the rest.

Welcome to the party, sir.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

C'mon, Alligator.

 

[Kiante]

Cindric is a wildman, he's a ton of fun to watch.

 

[Kiante]

That almost ended badly.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Note for tomorrow: four tires, not two.

Its going to be that one team that will try two tomorrow.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Didn't notice Bell had gone a lap down.
Hope Allgaier finally gets that win.

 

[Brentford]

I wonder which car will magically spin with 15 laps to go for a "this changes everything" caution.

 

[donthaveanickname]

John Hunter with a good run.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Allgaier's gap to Custer is getting smaller and smaller.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Allgaier wins!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Finall Allgaier gets it done

 

[Blaze]

Booyah!

 

[Kiante]

I know Johali would be pumped by his guy getting it done.

"Little Gator gets it done" is the headline on nascar.com

He was shifting. Using the car.

Jeff Burton continues to disappoint.

“You just don’t have the grip with old tires that you have with new tires.” What is the correct response to that?

"Well, duh. Also, you can't go as far when the gas tank is getting empty as you can when they just filled it."

I don't think any other televised coverage tries so hard to 'educate' viewers. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't wind up condescending instead. And it's pretty much NASCAR only; commentators for Indy or IMSA either don't bother or do it in a less intrusive way. What little coverage I watch of other sports just assumes the audience knows what the heck it's looking at. I don't know if it's NASCAR requiring it or if the networks (Fox can be just as bad) are still doing this 20 years later because they think that many new viewers show up every week that need the entire sport explained to them. Honestly, guys, we all understand tight and loose; quit overusing those CGI 'cutaway cars', esp. during green.

"Well, Jeff, maybe the teams should avoid putting old tires on the cars and always go with new ones instead."

NBC’s broadcast is for morons. I feel like my IQ drops 5 points every time I listen to those monkeys. The worst part, they all shout their nonsense at the top of the their lungs for 3 hours.

The production is pretty good though. Much better than FOX who is fresh off Todd Gilliland’s invisible win at Martinsville lol.
