Dave almost went full Andy Dwyer had he used an actual marker

 

[Johnny1996]

I heard "around goes the 78" and I about flipped 🤬. Dammit Rick, why would you do that to us Truex fans?

 

[Jahgee]

That's not good

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Once again, Truex finds himself out of winning contention with a winning car.

Welcome to nascar, may I take your hat?

Welcome to nascar, may I take your hat?

It's a Muppets hat. Go right ahead.

I can understand his anger, and it stings more because look who's winning either a Penske car or a Gibbs car.

Harvick?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Harvick?

Harvick what?

 

[nascarfan1400]

Harvick what?

I didn't know harvick drove for Gibbs now.

 

[catamount39]

Ben-hur-da-der, a movie that nobody's ever heard of that's apparently coming out.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I didn't know harvick drove for Gibbs now.

No one said he was, considering a gibbs car is beating him, and so is a Penske car. So he led the most laps, if you thought he was going to be the guy that mattered at the end, then good laugh.

Also considering Harvick has led the most laps in four races this year and only won one of them...

 

[Johnny1996]

So guess who's up to 3rd?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Crazy finish even for a fuel milage race.

 

[Johnny1996]

Stewart finishes 5th!!

EDIT: Brad can't reach the flag and now it's on the ground.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Edwards was right there!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Well, @nascarfan1400 make that 4 out 5 race Harvick led the most laps and didn't win. And make that another Penske win.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Ayy Tony stealing a top 5 there.

 

[catamount39]

NEWMAN 3rd!

 

[Leadfoot530]

Where'd the #18 finish? Didn't get to watch any of the race. Historically, he's awful with repaves.

He probably would have been top 3 or 4 if he didn't come into the pits late. I believe he finished right outside the top 10.

Eh, stinks, but at least he isn't finishing deep in the sub 30's now.

Just hate the fact that Keselowski now has the most wins at Kentucky...

...again.

Why must the two Penske drivers be such utter...uh...people I don't like.

 

[GTFan24]

Uhhhgg Brad wins

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

There was quite a number of incidents that kept the race interesting although going with the harder tire because of the repave made track position far too important. Four tire stops were just asking to be mired back in traffic. It should be better going forward.

 

[Johnny1996]

Sorry guys, couldn't resist.

 

[Jahgee]

Shout out to the Piedmont fire suit

 

[GTFan24]

Shout out to the Piedmont fire suit

I just got sudden 90's nostalgia flashbacks just looking at that

 

[GTFan24]

Well then folks, we may have our first clues on what Jimmie's throwback is gonna be:

Got home from the track about 30 minutes ago. It was definitely the most interesting Cup race I've been to at Kentucky. There were a lot more incidents thanks to the narrow groove in turns 3 and 4. I'm so used to seeing multiple looooong green flag runs. There were only two real longs runs tonight.

The truck on fire in the parking lot sure was a surprise. We were sitting in the upper grandstands between turn 4 and the start line when we got a whiff of smoke...and it wasn't coming from the track. That's when we noticed the dark smoke billowing over the stands and start collecting into the air above the infield. I didn't go to check out what was going on, but a couple of my buddies took a gander along with a few hundred other people. As if the stands weren't empty enough. I suspect the grill in the back of the truck had something to do with it.
