How do they text while driving? I'm missing something.

I dunno. I just saw it tweeted by TheOrangeCone.

 

[GTPorsche]

No one in the race is texting. It's just a running joke TheOrangeCone uses frequently.

 

[BubbleBelly542]

But it wasn't....

Exactly, that's how they know it wasn't overheating.

 

[scarslasher]

Its a joke from Twitter @TheOrangeCone.

Oh.. I thought it was serious.
Sorry, I had a dumb.

Lol, what did you think, here is TheOrangeCone's last update:

Cone tech update: the fuel pump pumps fuel. The water pump pumps water. The oil pump pumps oil.

Hey pizza hut commercial people, closr your damn mouths when you eat.

We haven't had the big one yet, kinda making me nervous.
(Even though the longer they go on doesen't increase the chances of a wreck.)

 

[GTPorsche]

They have new meters for oil temp/pressure, water temp/pressure, and the numbers on the dials go red when it's overheating. Then they flash. Then the world goes boom.

Gordon's explaination should be interesting.

Already been interviewed. Crankshaft failure.

He's a cone sitting at the entrance of pit road every race, and doesn't get scared whenever cars get near him, look for him! The one at pit exit is Sandy Cone. LOL

Holy crap... what were those two cars doing going that slow in turns 1 & 2 just now?

Bowyer out of fuel, and those 2 cars are still going around fairly slow.

It's a Twitter account dedicated THE Orange Cone on pit road.
Here.

 

[Bopop4]

Poor Bowyer...

 

[Patrick]

Tony Stewart lucked out.

 

[photonrider]

Tony slipping that Ace out of his sleeve?

 

[The Bman]

FOX I don't want to see the front of a giant tractor trailer pushing Bowyer's car.

Cone race analysis: if a car stops on the track and brings out the yellow it does *not* count as @JacquesDebris

And JacquesDebris is debris on the track, lol

Don't forget TheSaferBarrier and TheCatchFence.

[Cowboys965]

Good, everyone does!

EDIT: Remember R1600Turbo, Regan's from my state, living in your's!

 

[Cowboys965]

Guessed it within seconds.

 

[The Bman]

R1600 your guy won the pit race.

Tree'd.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

First out of the pits baby.

Edit:

The graphic said he took no tires.

Looking at the radar right now... don't quite understand that decision.

 

[iaustin7]

Regan Smith!!!!

Who is this? This thread is attracting all of my attention from the race! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Also, seems to me like there's not as much lead swapping as normal. Then again, see above.

 

[Antonisbob]

The pack is huge right now, hope nobody slips up.

Also: A Toyota pace car? haha what is this...

 

[CodeRedR51]

No idea. Seems to be okay for now though.

Edit: Their facebook says they took 2 tires.

Hmm, that's odd. I hope someone does.
