Chicago - Chase Race 1

[Flying Razorback]

Harvick took them to the green flag but it didn't take long for the 78 to take the lead.

It's on display as to why Harvick has 10 p2 finishes.  He flies up to the leader and then you can't pass with this package.

Now at lap 37 the 18 is trying to pass the 78.  Flies up to the bumper then it's a brick wall trying to pass the leader.

Harvick needs to win a few of these so I can win some money.

Harvick has a problem when they restart.  Because a caution always falls with 20 or 30 laps, he ends up p2 or p3 for the final laps.  He can get up to the leader but he just can't pass with this package.

Great long run speed but terrible restarts all season.

[Flying Razorback]

116 green flag LPS from lap 7 to 123.  Caution for debris with 13 cars on the lead lap.

[Racinray]

Love those phantom debris cautions.

[Flying Razorback]

Dillon must have hit something to lose a tire that fast.  Or the valve stem, we've seen plenty of that in the past year.

[Flying Razorback]

And Harvick's championship run is over.

I don't have college football or NASCAR this fall now.

Dang it.  This sucks.


I hate the chase

[Racinray]

Harvick can thank the 48 for that.

Will a win in the next two races not allow him to advance, regardless ?

He won't win at Dover or New Hampshire.   He'll finish top 5, but he has not been able to win there.

This sucks.  One of the best seasons in NASCAR history.  Gone.

Not trying to derail this thread, but did you guys hear about the tragic accident at Crowleys Ridge last night.

No.  What happened ?

[Racinray]

Someome died and one was taken to the hospital. Can't confirm but read that it was a 11 year old child that died. Accident in the pits.

[Flying Razorback]

Well.  My weekends just freed up this fall.  Was planning on going to the Texas race but don't think I need to waste the time and money now.

Don't throw in the towel.  That team has been too good this year...they will find a way to advance.

[Racinray]

I used to go to the Texas race every year and I guess my old age caught up with me, just can't deal with the traffic anymore.

[Flying Razorback]

Don't throw in the towel.  That team has been too good this year...they will find a way to advance.

The problem is they can finish top 3.

If they finish 2nd in the next 2 races, they will have an average finish of 15th in the first round of the Chase.  That's not good enough to stay in the top 12 to make the next round.

He has never been able to win at Dover, and until last year, it has been one of his worst tracks with an average finish around 20th.

I just hate this system and this is why.

[Flying Razorback]

Screw this sport

[Racinray]

JJ didn't want any of Harvick after the race lol.

[Flying Razorback]

Jimmie came to talk at Harvick's camper.  Harvick came flying out to fight and shoved Jimmie.  Harvick's PR guy and Delana stepped in to corral him and let Jimmie get out of there.

Stupid system.

[Buff]

Frick nascar and their constant changing of the rules. Trying to manufacture excitement because the product they put on the track doesn't provide on its own.

Oh please. Harvick will win one of the next two or at least finish top 5 each race and squeak in

[Flying Razorback]

I really don't know.  I think he might finish top 5 the next two races, but I doubt he would win them.  He hasn't shown the ability to get out and win at New Hampshire and Dover in his career.

[riccoar]

If I don't win at Dover?  The 48 will DNF also before the first round finishes.  That would be my mantra.
