Xfinity RACE thread --- Richmond

[TexasRaceLady]

Ready for some racing from a great short track.

 

[R Clarence]

GO HERMIE SADLER III!

 

[jws926]

Friday night racing!!!!!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I think my local movie theater currently has more of an audience than this race

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Did anyone tell Leigh Diffey this race was on an oval?

C'mon, ESad.

 

[2 Sweet]

Nice to see these Chevys up front!

Who is this announcer with the accent? I like him so far. I really like Dale Jarrett in the booth too

 

[R Clarence]

Leigh Diffey

Mute button about a minute in..

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Mute button about a minute in..

But everything is classier with a British accent!

I kinda like Leigh, I just missed why he's covering an oval. It's not his usual format.

 

[2 Sweet]

JJ Yeley has already made contact with about five other cars and we're barely 50 laps in

 

[ChexOrWrex]

But everything is classier with a British accent!

Australian, mate.

 

[R Clarence]

Annoyin', dude.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Australian, mate.

I stand corrected.

Actually, I think I've made that mistake before. That doesn't bode well for my learning anything this time either.

 

[R Clarence]

AmericanEthanol Green Flag in the air!

 

[NasNYG567]

This isn't the Chase cutoff race right?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Right. For X, the cutoff is next week at Chicago. Top 12, not 16.

 

[jws926]

How does Kyle not get bored just riding around and not really having to race anyone ?

 

[aunty dive]

He'll be racing Jones before it's over.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Boredom wouldn't be as much of a problem here on a short track as it would be on a Brobdingnagian.

I've said it before, but sometimes I think he speeds on pit road just so he can work his way through the field.

 

[R Clarence]

Halfway!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Halfway!

Where's my bonus money?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

He'll be racing Jones before it's over.

Unless something bunches up the field, Jones will be racing Busch to stay on the lead lap.

 

[R Clarence]

What bonus money?

 

[jws926]

Yes, I am sure on 1.5 miler it would be more than tonight since he has to deal with lap traffic

 

[donthaveanickname]

Seems Busch is even more dominating than @ Indianapolis.

 

[R Clarence]

Wonder where the yellow flag was for the loose tire on pit road?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Loose tire on pit road at watkins glen? Caution

Loose tire on pit road at richmond? Race on

 

[Charlie Spencer]

What bonus money?

The bonus money they used to pay out for leading at halfway.

 

[29-4]

Loose tire on pit road at watkins glen? Caution

Loose tire on pit road at richmond? Race on

Seriously. Nascar apologists please explain this.

 

[aunty dive]

It might go green all the way.

Or not.

Y'all had to say something, didn'tcha?

 

[R Clarence]

There we go.

All for safety......

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Yo NBC, explain the sprint cup series top 12 qualifiers ticking across the screen during the xfinity race

 

[R Clarence]

Y'all had to say something, didn'tcha?

Yeah, crap.

Should of kept my mouth shut.

 

[jws926]

Yeah, crap.

Should of kept my mouth shut.

Its ok, everyone makes a mistake

 

[Brentford]

Kyle almost had a second lead before they even hit turn 1!

 

[29-4]

So the tire isn't dangerous when 40 cars are dodging it down pit road, but when pit road is empty, Lord help us!

 

[R Clarence]

Ted'll be along shortly to explain the delay.

 

[Brentford]

Just curious, but are there any Xfinity drivers who are outside the chase bubble that have finished a race as the first Xfinity driver, example being finishing 2nd place only to a Sprint Cup Driver? If so, that'd suck for them to miss the chase.

 

[jws926]

I guess the up side, this race is going by fast

Which is a perfect example why the Chase in the X and Truck series is silly, when a driver not running for points can have what could be a big impact over a driver(s) running for points.
