Hornish leading. Screenshot this because not sure if my tiredness is playing tricks on me.

Well, that one sucked.

I'd rather see the #22 lock himself into round 3 than the #4.

Penske hasn't had very good speed all year, I'd rather battle him at Phoenix than the Harvick, where it's almost a given win.
 
:lol:

Bowyer's face when Kyle was walking down pit road had me in stitches. Either he knows that feel or he wants to avoid getting hit in the nuts again.
 
So slow/boring/disappointing race and Logano wins. Call me when Dega arrives. I'm just gonna pretend Kansas happened earlier in the year

This is why Charlotte/Lowes should only have one race a year, the Coke 600. Now on to Kansas, another snore-fest that only deserves 1 race.

Unless out of nowhere, they implement the low downforce package. Then it could be a whole different story.

I didn't think the race was that horrible, given that it was a rain delay race. The amount of championship contenders that had trouble was kind of surprising. I was expecting a "debris" caution with 10-15 to go to group the field back up, but that didn't happen.

I don't mind Logano, but I wouldn't list him as a favorite of mine.
 
As long as either a Penske or JGR car wins, I'll be happy.

Doesn't excuse how boring that race was.
 
Saw some posts on twitter about how "JGR is failing". Do they not realize Denny finished 4th and Carl finished 6th.

Also, Hendrick had a worse showing with Jeff being the best finisher in 8th, and the only one that didn't have any issues in the race.
 
I think that was one of the bigger deals with the race. Hendrick is usually known for being clutch in the Chase and struggled mightily.
 
Kenseth almost made it to the final round last year with no wins. Hamlin made it and almost took it and it came down to one call on pit road. Edwards didn't exist at JGR. The 18 always falls apart. How does JGR always fall apart in the chase?

You just listed why.
 
Fan watching is always fun at Nascar races. My takeaways from being at the race:

-The confused state of everyone wondering how in the world the field couldn't even make it into turn 1 on lap 1 before having an incident.
-The stunned silence when Jr. got into the wall...multiple times....was quite humorous. (sorry to any Jr fans here)
-The "Oooooh!!!" when the Kyles got together coming to pit road.
-Fan sitting in front of us who flipped off Busch the entire length of pit road after said contact. (nevermind the fact that Larson was more likely at fault) :lol:
-The wild cheering as Johnson slowed and came to pit road with his engine failure. (and the poor 5 or 6 year old Johnson fan sitting in front of us who was being consoled by his dad after it happened :()


Non-crowd things:
-When Kenseth got caught back in traffic after pitting when the other front runners didn't early, it became the Logano snoozefest. I kept thinking that maybe Busch could challenge him, until his incident. Then Harvick came on strong later in the race but never did get close enough to challenge. Logano was absolutely destroying the field on the restarts too.
-I'm not entirely sure what Hornish's strategy was, simply staying on the track longer, but he got to lead a chunk of laps on a couple of occasions. Good on him and his team I guess.
-Stewart was slooooooow. It almost looked like he was holding up the backmarkers on some occasions.
-And not that anyone cares, but the 7 (Bowman) car's engine sounded sickly all race. I have no idea how they made it to the finish. On the flip side, Hamlin's car sounded quieter than everyone else's it seemed. Must have had something to do with the exhaust (a la Sterling Marlin's first Daytona 500 win back in the 90's), but I could be wrong. Whatever it was, it didn't affect his performance any.
 
Would be happy to see the 78 win it all. But NASCAR (WWE) would never allow a team from Denver Colorado to win a championship
