Rain let up, and the race is on! 50 laps in. One competition caution

fieldodreams79 · 15 Sep 2013, 20:53 (Ref:3304408)

Rain back and race stopped at lap 109. Not half way...rain looks like it'll stick around for a while.

fieldodreams79 · 16 Sep 2013, 02:15 (Ref:3304508)

Back to green nearly five hours later...

Great start to the Chase.

TF110 · 16 Sep 2013, 08:14 (Ref:3304575)

How bout that! I made a good call on who to watch for. Kenseth and Kyle Busch 1-2. Brother Kurt two spots behind. I really felt Kyle was going to sweep the weekend, but that last restart he had no help.

rustyfan · 17 Sep 2013, 06:46 (Ref:3305007)

Glad to see Johnson didn't win it, if he's to get #6 I'd like him to work for it.

As for the race there's really not much to say, is there? Hopefully it'll be a sunny day at New Hampshire and fingers crossed we get a decent race with some of the action we've seen there in the past (including some fenders rubbin' and some tempers going ballistic).

fieldodreams79 · 17 Sep 2013, 11:16 (Ref:3305150)

Chicagoland and New Hampshire start the Chase. Thrilling, ain't it?

**gomick** · 17 Sep 2013, 12:23 (Ref:3305194)

Hope non-chasers stick it up the chasers - dont just move over & let them pass! Put 'em in the wall, rubbin's racin' style...

They better do it. If I see any deference or 'after you' stuff goin' on there'll be hell to pay. I'll be lighting up the comment columns on racer.com and firebreathin' on ten-tenths like there's no tomorrow. Brian France will hear of this with a very direct email from me that I'm sure he'll place at the top of his priority list if I have cause to send it!

I think a few non-chasers might be encouraged to give the chrome horn to a certain driver from Kansas...............

Don't know where to put this so I'll put it here. NAPA leaves MWR.

I'd consider what MWR did for the '07 Daytona 500 a more egregious form or cheating, but, whatever, it's NAPA's money, time and energy to do whatever they want with. I don't care that much about NAPA--I don't shop there, and there's not even one in the town where I live--or MWR. Mikey's a dope...

I do wonder if NAPA will stick around in NASCAR or bolt completely. If they leave NASCAR completely, what does that say about what they think of MWR and NASCAR?

Oh well, another chapter in "as the world turns".

Chase thread....

Race this weekend, if you can call an event at NHMS a race.

Pretty cool commercial.

I gotta admit that I like the fire that I see out of Newman and especially Gordon so far. Ryan's and Jeff's chase spots were "gifted" to them by NASCAR, but Ryan won the pole for Loudon and Jeff had that great comeback from that tire issue at Chicago and got a good finish out of it.

If Ryan and Jeff can run as well as they did the past few weeks and--especially in Jeff's case--not have any weird or freak things happen and get the finishes that their runs deserve, they can challenge for this thing...

Rain could be an issue at New Hampshire: The National Weather Service forecast calls for showers, mainly before 11:00am/et, with a high near 67. The overall chance of precipitation is 100%. As long as the weather isn't slower move out than planned, it looks like there shouldn't be a problem getting the race in Sunday, although they could be a slight delay at the start. There are no lights at New Hampshire. For more weather info see the New Hampshire Race Info Page - weather section.(9-22-2013)

I wonder if there's anyway to shorten races at NHMS by 150 laps, as the first half of the race made F1 look exciting.

Also slightly disappointed by the lack of conspiracy theores that Kahne deliberately bought out the yellow to ensure Bowyer stayed a lap down :-p

Yep, they put it on cruise "snooze" control the first half of the race. Mainly because they had to figure out the balance in the car since the rain washeddown the track that morning. So it took half of the race for them to figure that out before they could start racing each other.

That Kahne interview by Dr. Jerry was priceless. Kahne looked like a deer
in headlites. Dr. Jerry was at loss for words.

Cynic · 23 Sep 2013, 10:48 (Ref:3308102)

Actually, I think I might be getting my cautions confused - think it was the #38 blowing its engine that screwed up Clints strategy?

TF110 · 25 Sep 2013, 05:38 (Ref:3309051)

Thats a chase first. A repeat 1-2 in the opening two races. Momentum is running with JGR, they've won 5 of the last 7. Dover up next as well? One of Kyle's best tracks and Kenseth has won there 3 times as well.

Hey Fieldo - did you see the clip showing Kennseths first Nascar race?
Filled in for Elliotts 94 McDonalds. Finished 6th. I think it was around 1996.

Yes, this looks like JGR's to lose, barring mechanical problems or any crashes at Dega.

TF110 · 26 Sep 2013, 07:32 (Ref:3309481)

Thats the make or break race there. If you make it through there then your chances are good. If you break at Taladega your chances aren't.

**gomick** · 27 Sep 2013, 09:48 (Ref:3309957)

Dega & a road course - thats what the chase needs...

**gomick** · 27 Sep 2013, 20:16 (Ref:3310204)

Jnr on pole - probably wont lead a lap
