Xfinity RACE thread --- Richmond

Good thing I checked the schedule -- thought this race started later.

It'll be interesting to see how long Parker Retzlaff can hold the lead.

Mostly Cloudy skies and 73 degrees at the green flag for this one.

It'll be interesting to see how long Parker Retzlaff can hold the lead.

So hard to pass, I'll guess half way thru the first stage, or the first caution whatever comes first.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Less talking, more racing. Wave the flag and let'em go!

Somebody wake Brandon Jones up.

Bubba Pollard has moved up to 22nd place

Somebody wake Brandon Jones up.

He’s awake now.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That charge by Poole on fresh tires was awesome.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Aric Almirola looking strong through the 1st stage,

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good first stage.

 

[REBS31]

Largely unremarkable second stage, looks like Almirola’s to lose

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Sam Mayer looking strong through the first 2 stages, running 2nd.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Damn --- bad luck for Sam. Just getting hit on pit road and now losing laps because of it.

 

[StandOnIt]

Throwing car parts at each other.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Tossing the bumper cover is a new one.

 

[REBS31]

The rivalry needed to make this sport explode: Dawson Cram vs Joey Gase

 

[StandOnIt]

2 seconds too many

Tossing the bumper cover is a new one.

Good thinking. Helmets are expensive.

Not so good thinking he'll get fined for walking toward traffic.

 

[StandOnIt]

Good deal, split decisions on pitting.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Really good run from Bubba, would be nice to see him get another shot and see what he can do with a better qualifying effort.

Badly needed result for Josh Williams in 12th.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Great run for Bubba Pollard.

Great debuts for Pollard and Gray.

Results: Chandler Smith wins at Richmond

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A great race for Taylor Gray, finishes 3rd. A tough afternoon for Brandon Jones, finishes 37th.

TBH I wasn't paying much attention. Short tracks aren't my thing. Joey and Kez did a good job trying to make it interesting I thought.

I remember when Chandler Smith was a kid running pro late models. He’s another super talent. But it’s hard to root for him after the race a few weeks ago.

About to watch the Feb. 1986 race from Richmond. Got it on the DVR early this morning. Talk about a throwback race.

Let it go.
Good race today.

DVR is really the best way to watch a race. Unless you’re there.

Extremely dangerous with the attached tail pipe decals. Those pipes were still hawt with the engine heat, they could have busted a windshield and burnt someone badly.

Badly needed result for Josh Williams in 12th.

I think those ond off deals are great but they can be misrepresentive of a drivers talent. He is used to full bodied cars for sure but the engine packages, weights, gear ratios etc have to be very different.

Joey Gase was fined $5,000 for a safety violation after throwing his rear bumper at a competitor’s car during Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Richmond“

Everyone is howling at the moon over a rolling start but barely a peep over a driver getting out of the car on the track, walking toward the moving cars and then hurling a giant metal sheet at another car?

didn’t we have a literal murder trial not too long ago because someone did something like this? How are you allowed back in a car the next week? Honestly want to understand how this is slight slap on the wrist makes any sense in our safety conscious NASCAR era.
