DARLINGTON--5mike5

[onlooker]

Come on Danica, wreck already.

[5mike5]

my buddy is at the race, said the fans are boooo-ing

guy got thrown out for trying to toss a beer can over the fence

fans really HATE boring races

[MatI]

So you would want to see zero cautions, and not have no one else have a shot at winning?

Yeah, if I had Jimmie, I wouldn't care so much right now.

Exactly.

yeah if u like boring

this isnt the last 10 laps....

cautions keep races COMPETITIVE, NOT BORING

I like to watch 'racing' not crashing.

These guys in front at the moment are there for a reason, and that is because they are the fastest on track, and are ultimately the ones who deserve to win.

Anyway, there will still be several yellows in the last 50 or so laps. These boys are just being smart tonight, no need to end up in the wall just yet, not even half way.

Cautions just bring luck into play more. I don't see that as very appealing.

[5mike5]

nascar races HAVE crashes and wrecks, ive been watching since i could see...this isnt F1

every1 opinion is different


this is BORING...period...theres no racing going on...why u think people complain so much?

cautions make it competitive, which is very appealing to me as a fan...thats why nascar is so popular, not for 2 cautions a race....

its because it makes it exciiting, no1 is racing right now, side bt side and racing for the lead is REAL racing imo

[Optional]

Ha... stop talking like an F1 fan to NASCAR heads Matt!!

I agree it's better when betting to have no surprises, but only 14 cars on lead lap at less than halfway does take interest out of the 2nd part of the race for fans of the 29 other cars.

I don't mind a "nascar debri caution" early to keep it competitive in this type of race.


@Mike.. you sound like the redneck wreck lovin crazy man we all get accused of being from time time.

GL everybody

You pulled one of these off last week too eh Bronxer??

Looking nice.

[MatI]

Those debris sweepers are mighty exciting! Look at 'em go!

This race picked up immensely now!

[MatI]

was it MONTOYA or a BOTTLE?

Probably one of those rednecks with a beer can.

[5mike5]

Probably one of those rednecks with a beet can.

whatever it was THANKS!

[onlooker]

About time they got that commitment cone back out there.

[MatI]

Far out, braves/cardinals game is getting boring... 5-0 lead to braves.

That is boring as fuk, baseball should always be close. They should reset the score after the 5th inning!

[5mike5]

WAKE UP EVERYBODY!!!

actually racing in the future!

here comes a double-file restart

[MatI]

Not sure how you coped before 2009 !

[5mike5]

much better now thanks to it

FANS demanded it, and nascar listened

to the tune of over 80% actually

[5mike5]

shocking HAMLIN not even a factor so far

[5mike5]

poor 'ol jeff gordon

he has a back cat living in his cockpit

[Reno Paul]

Bad Luck Gordon starting another caution.

@Mike.. you sound like the redneck wreck lovin crazy man we all get accused of being from time time.

I'm not talking from a betting perspective, but from a fan perspective. And not an F1 fan, but a motorsport fan. I'd just rather see the result go to someone deserving of it, than some lucky result.

I will shut up though, i should know my place. Boogity boogity boogity, let's see some wreckin boys.

[Reno Paul]

2 tire stops for a lot of drivers shaking things up.

[5mike5]

im talking from a fan perspective too Mati

we just have different opinions...and that ok

[onlooker]

Hamlin stayed out?

[MatI]

Hamlin stayed out?

Yes. Last stop 172 for four.

[Optional]

hehe, they took an age to call that one for bits of rubber from Gordon. lol

good luck everyone. I'm gone now.

In case anyone cares. If any of Truex, Bowyer, Burton, Ambrose, Jimmie, Kyle, Denny or BradK score I'll win from +100 to +200 on 2.5u risk. (real small this week)

[MatI]

im talking from a fan perspective too Mati

2nd half of the race will be a lot crazier.

I lean your way on this. But just don't get so bothered about cautions in NASCAR.

As a motorsport fan generally, I do hate artificial racing though as well.

Mum's watin. Byeeee

[5mike5]

KURT BUSCH is flat out impressing me

[onlooker]

Hamlin hanging in there with old tires.

[5mike5]

Hamlin hanging in there with old tires.

Call of the race so far for hamlin backers for sure

if he stays in top 4 thats amazing and at least keeps him in the mix til everybody gets back on same tire/gas sequence

becuase when hamlin and co. stops b4 everybody else, i think others will follow pretty soon
