That 5 Hour Energy sure shifts things into hyper. Clint not happy.

 

[ND4SPD]

Wow.... We just got back from commericals and straigt to more commercials..., I don't ever remember it being this bad in past seasons....

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Truex's car off with possible rear axle problems. So much for Napa know-how.

Seeing as this is a new car, its pretty much what nobody has right now

I expect some more to join him later.

 

[photonrider]

New leaders?

 

[RACECAR]

New leaders?

Yep, Cycle of pit stops I'm assuming.

 

[Carbonox]

Front Row Motorsports' David Ragan has now passed Danica for 26th.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Mr "I don't want to win the Daytona 500" is leading. Montoya's right on his bumper.

 

[mattybb47]

What do you guys think about that the fact that there will be no more roof cams on cars except for on road courses, superspeedways, and short tracks?

 

[photonrider]

Woah.

 

[Ganon83]

No! Blaney!

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Martin on pit road, Montoya going banzai for the lead, and Stremme wrecking Blaney. Business is picking up.

 

[Carbonox]

This is already looking more interesting than most of the races from last season.

 

[photonrider]

The Biff looks impatient ... and Montoya is groovin'.

A quarter of the race done . . . and mid-game begins.

Notice that the 'lights' on the cars now look so realistic - almost like the production cars.

 

[BKGlover]

Already 1/4 done. So far, an enjoyable race

Not including commercials.

 

[Suzumiya]

Same commercial dilemma as last time. :/

But I agree, good race so far. ^^

It shouldn't change much. It isn't like there is a shortage of cameras on the cars now.

I dunno, we made through a caution and several laps of racing without going to a break.

 

[Carbonox]

Aww, poor Danica is frustrated...

 

[Jahgee]

Dominatin' ain't easy

 

[Suzumiya]

Fishay fishay





Newman into wall.

Right. I'm amazed that they keep adding more and more to the car without affecting the car's performance. Not that I don't like the new perspectives - the cockpit views are awesome, and the gyro-cam is a blast.
As for the Digger cam . . . I swear one got run over at Daytona.

So far, so good.

 

[Doth1s]

DW understands what she is saying. All those other drivers are putting her in bad spots so she can't catch a break.

 

[photonrider]

Crank. It. Up.


Wooooooooooo. Angry bees.

 

[Suzumiya]

Wow, Hamlin's doing great so far!

 

[Forster]

Racing for just over an hour but it feels like more thanks to all the commercials...

Oh great... another SUV ad...

 

[Doth1s]

The Crank It Up sections are the best parts. There is no announcer interference.

 

[Suzumiya]

Keselowski catching up..

 

[photonrider]

. . . and taking over.

Guess now he's going to run away from the pack so he can tweet.

 

[Doth1s]

Nah, he will wait until Montoya blows something up first.

 

[Suzumiya]

. . . and taking over.
