    Can Ford convert the speed advantage to an actual race win on a super speedway....

    Cindric could be the one to watch , last years race was a photo finish with Suarez winning- Atlanta being a track that he has done very well on over the years.

    Corey Heim will race with in select Cup Series events for 23 X1 and will make starts in the Xfinity Series with Sam Hunt Racing. Heim will also remain a part of the Toyota Driver Development Program.

    Go Toyota for this win. Bell lucked out on the caution for the final lap.

    Toyota and Chevy at the front when it mattered , Larson and Bell working together to get to the front .

    How did Blaney finish 4th after spinning out !

    Controversy again thanks to inconsistent officiating, 2 races in a row no caution thrown on the last lap and a race to the finish, last night ,caution thrown...…

    Hocevar upset a few drivers on his way to 2nd......

    COTA next weekend



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    blaneys the fastest car in the last 2 races , got spun twice

    cota new short course is gonna bring svg also reddick and elliot who have shown a lot of pace already to the fore

    ive found uninterupted 1080 xfinity coverage with the us comms when there on

    on ziggo sport netherlands 5/docu if any of you can get a stream



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,071 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    23XI lock out the front row at COTA !

    Reddick on pole is not a surprise, but Bubba 2nd is a surprise, on a road course.

    Race favourite SVG starts on the 3rd row , Hocevar strong again.

    A different track layout this year , should be fun !

    Conor Zilich ,who is racing for trackhouse won the infinity race yesterday.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    zilich won after having to go to the back for pitting when pits were closed

    Chase elliot 3rd and a good road racer

    Id still have Svg favourite over Reddick



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    bell again - the same drivers doing well in all races bell byron . bush elliot and reddick .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,071 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Good to see clean racing, no bumper cars between Bell, Busch ,Byron and Elliot.

    Byrons comment that he wasn't going to.nudge Bell out of the way as Bell hadn't got to the front that way ,was telling.

    Ross Chastain on the other hand has payback from Elliot coming in the next few races.

    A surprise to many , the appeals panel has found in favour of Joe Gibbs racing and all the penalties have been rescinded !

    Austin Cindric however has received a 50 point reduction for right hooking Ty Dillon at COTA , a one race suspension was not applied on the basis of the incident happening at (low speed) COTA

    Finally , Mexico is still on , contingency plans are in place in case the race has to be cancelled (World events ie Tariffs ).

    Nascar counter suing 23XI and front row , Jimmy Johnson potentially returning to Indy 500 amongst this weeks stories.

    Phoenix this weekend, Katherine Legge makes her cup series debut , Bell going for 3 in a row.

    interesting times / phoenix a chance for ford to win again -

    late runs have been the way of the 1st few races

    blaney fancied again you would think but he needs to win one of these b4 you get into the other 1.5mile ovals



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    a lot of complaints re the cw coverage of the xfinity race

    i got it on a swedish viasat ip stream 1080 50 fps of the international feed ,

    cw feeds are only 720

    main race on fox sports 1 tonight so might get another viasat stream



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    larrson wins trucks after spinning last lap - heim cut out a lot

    Larrson runs in Xfinity and cup 2



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    what a mad xfinity race Larrson had them all on toast a late caution , Sam Mayer behind larrson on replay metts him wrong put him loose ans Allgair comed from 4th on restart after a pit penalty earlier to win



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,071 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Blaney looked to be the next 'B' winner after Byron,Bell and Berry ,but that is some engine blow up ,rarely see a Penske blow like that , Blaney 3rd DNF of the season.

    Teammates Cindric and Logano colliding in the pitlane earlier, and Logano and Berry colliding in a separate pitlane incident ! (Berry is effectively in a 4th Penske Ford).

    Talking about 4th cars ,what is going on with Elliot (Chevy) and Gibbs (Toyota) ??



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    elliot has been ok earlier in other tracks - gibbs hasnt been on it

    blaney should have nearly won every race so far and hasnt won 1

    mayer last night ruined the 3 in the weekend for Larrson



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,071 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Larson arguably should not have won on Friday, unlucky on Saturday ,dominant on Sunday on long runs.

    Larson will attempt the 3 races again later in the season.

    Brad Kelowski is another driver way off his teammates pace ,Preece being a surprise.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Hamlin 2 in a row !! Blaney is cursed this year ! Larrson crashs out 100 laps down lol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,071 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Larson crashing out twice was no t expected,

    Denny,new sponsor, 2 wins in a row ! , Denny won't be retiring anytime soon.

    The irony that probably the two best throwback cars - Larson and Berry - both crashed......long may throwback weekend continue

    Hill in the right place at the right time again at talledega Xfinity . looked impossible a few laps out



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    cindric wins i fancied him but went for logano instead , there was no big crash either



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,071 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Cindric was lucky, going from 25th to first on the last pit stop.

    Wasn't a great race , it was impossible to overtake , two chevrolets pushing two ford's to victory tells the story.

    Logano and Preece have been disqualified since and will not be appealing.

    Loganos expletive laden attack on teammate Cindric at the end of stage 2 won't help Loganos popularity , Logano has a habit of falling out with team mates.…



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Hamlin has said hes not happy with the setup for these tracks - nascar seems to want more of them but with this racing it wont help



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 42,062 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I didn't realise there was a new thread.

    Looking forward to Nashville tonight, so long as Chastain doesn't win.

    I think Briscoe has a great chance. From looking at practice it appears he has the best super long run car.

    Byron a danger man as well. Obviously Hamlin and Blaney are two very serious contenders.

    All the Toyota's look good and they really want this one because it's been Chevy and Ford that have won the first five runnings of this race.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    there tends to be a newone each year i think

    watching race on v sport 3 hd stream , watched xfinity on dutch feed

    on Hamlin tonight its set up for him well



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Blaney finally wins after a lot of ones he should have won earlier . Hamlins car had issues which kept him 3rd and Hocevar bumped Stenhouse out on the way 2 second



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    this Michigan truck race has been one of the messiest races ive seen



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,357 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Hamlin wins Michigan due to fuelsaving - he is the best at fuelsaving races , but will still likely complain about racing around at 3/4 throttle for a long time

    Feel for Buescher, he had a lot of bad luck and still finished second. If he had another six laps he'd have got to Hamlin.
