Just getting to the last ~20 or so laps... the best part of the whole event inbound!

 

[photonrider]

Is it just me or is this side by side awful big?

This is supposed to be a 'two groove' track. Three wide is dangerous. Four wide becomes a parking lot.

Antonisbob - how could I have missed that? Been glued to my TV and only hear these loud voices - which are getting louder.

Would've rather had the commercials during the red flag. There were hardly any then. Why?!?!?

Stationary cars don't buy commercials.

 

[FahrerGott]

Noooo Ambrose

 

[scarslasher]

Nooooo, Amrooose.
Wasn't one of my picks, but still.

 

[BubbleBelly542]

I like Ambrose. For such a large pack I expected a junkyard in turn one once I saw the spin. Looks like no contact other than the spin. Good driving.

Almirola gets in the wrong places in these races.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Awesome job by the #43. Nice save AND missed the spinning cars.

I think it was near the begging of the race. Need to do it more!

Off topic but I think the July race should be on the road course.

Agree but NASCAR would never do it.

How is that off topic? This is just a NASCAR thread, not specifically for the 500.👍

It would be awesome though.

Not a chance.

Edit: Sorry I read it wrong. I thought you said "will" and not "should"

I love NASCAR but they need more right turns.

I know but, it seems off topic just because of the 500.

 

[Schwartz]

I'm okay as long as Blaney gets through.

 

[photonrider]

Noticeably.

 

[chances14]

this is where it's going to get dicey

My heart is beating fast from nervousness. My question is how fast is Kenseth's heart?

Also, how will this affect Phoenix. Don't they have to start practice and stuff on Thusday?

I prefer ovals only, to keep it unique. 2 road courses are plenty.

I would like to see F1 on an oval, apparently they contemplated it when CART was at the height of its popularity in the early 90s

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm sure they'll squeeze everything together a bit.

Wait for Watkins Glen. You'll enjoy it.

So apparently we only get side-by-side commercials during yellow or red flags.

Shouldn't affect them. Teams have their Phoenix equipment ready to go already, if it hasn't yet. It's Nascar officials that might be in a time crunch. Not sure if they have multiple trailers for their stuff.

 

[Northstar]

I see, side by side only works for cautions, not actual racing.

 

[Antonisbob]

Restart, finally.

 

[photonrider]

Outside line!

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Wait for Watkins Glen. You'll enjoy it.

Always do.

If these get annoying I'll stop but this is the best yet:

So who overheats first?

 

[photonrider]

Everybody seems cool.
