Xfinity RACE thread --- Portland

[Charlie Spencer]

I'm officially out of the Iwuji camp. Not a fan of Ty but that's a hack move.

 

[gnomesayin]

"Boy, that #54 is a rocket ship! Ty's gonna have this locked up if they just give him a decent pit stop!"

<crosses fingers>

Took a bit. Seemed to pay off there for a second, but I'm not sure it's going to be enough.

 

[gnomesayin]

Hold him for two laps? Maybe better to hold him for two careers.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Help us, A J Wan Kendinger; you're our only hope!

 

[AdoubleU24]

Welp Ty might get his ass kicked finally

 

[FLRacingFan]

Cry Gibbs throws a fit when someone tries to race him hard again, shocking

 

[gnomesayin]

Ty Gibbs really is something special. The boy is going to turn me in to a Noah Gragson fan for a day.

 

[StandOnIt]

and they missed the whole thing

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Typical Fox, more interested in replays than live action.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I feel like you should have a replay on hand of the two leaders taking each other out but that could just be me

 

[StandOnIt]

That was a B.S. hit on the 9

 

[Speedbowl14]

Still no replay...wow

 

[34R7H130UND]

That was some BS on the 54 there

 

[FLRacingFan]

Gibbs has negative composure. Gets passed once and just starts bowling through everything and everyone, pirouetting through the grass.

First time he's had to actually race anyone today.

Tell us when A.J. finds the track, not every time he loses it, will be easier.

Hey, he only lost five spots that time.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Alrighty. So this restart with gibbs behind Noah.. lol

 

[Kiante]

He's talented, but when he gets in his own way, he's really bad at it.

Like AJ beats himself up badly mentally.

 

[racingfan7]

AJ is just another radio sweetheart

 

[Kiante]

AJ is just another radio sweetheart

It's less of him yelling at his crew and more of him talking about how ****** of a driver he is.

When Rice has to intervene, you know its bad.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Ty Gibbs and John Hunter Nemechek ... super talents who are just ... IDK man.

Once they get lessons in humility and harness their talent, they'll be forces in Cup.

That's a big when. I don't think Ty will take his helmet off until he is in the trailer lol

JHN had a season of that at FRM, I think he'll be fine.

Gibbs is an 18 year old kid. Maturity is not something gained with age, its life expereince.

 

[34R7H130UND]

That's a big when.

Really an if to be honest. I thought going backwards would humble JHN, but it didn't seem like it did. And I dont know what would bring Gibbs to earth other than whats probably going to happen on pit road after this race ends

 

[TommyGunn]

Not sure slicks is a good idea. I am about 30 to 35 miles east of the track and it's raining pretty hard at my house. I know typically the rain goes west to east but this time of year it can be weird here and go north to south so it's hard to say if the rains over or not. I hope they made the right choice cuz that means I'll get some clearing here in a few minutes LOL!

 

[34R7H130UND]

Gibbs p9 Gragson p10

 

[antman12]

Lmaaooo. I put the race on and literally within 5 seconds all I see is Creed throwing a freedom rocket.

 

[StandOnIt]

Wet wet wet it's wet, hey you guys it's wet

 

[racingfan7]

AA and J-Mac are silly in the booth

 

[antman12]

Damn. I missed quite the race so far.

 

[ahhculdee]

Ty Gibbs and John Hunter Nemechek ... super talents who are just ... IDK man.

JHN isn't that immature anymore. He hasn't had everything handed to him in his life even if he is the son of Joe Nemechek. He has to work to get where he is.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

DINGER P1

 

[StandOnIt]

Going to have a hell of a time catching A.J. Boom

 

[Pat]

Ok, just everybody get in on the fun.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Took quite a while for that caution

 

[StandOnIt]

AA and J-Mac are silly in the booth

They sound like a couple of hopped up gerbils to me

 

[34R7H130UND]

They sound like a couple of hopped up gerbils to me

Yeah its really not great lol

 

[gnomesayin]

I'm not sure they're going to be able to get a full green flag lap in until they just give up and stop throwing the yellow on the fourth overtime attempt.
