Bud Shootout discussion and predictions

[Frigus5]

Did I just see Harvick drafting with KevCon?

OK, Hell has already frozen over because I got a perfect score on an Algebra test, but now it might be an icy wasteland because Conway is RUNNING COMPETITIVELY.

But he's still slowest, but he's also not dropping like a rock...he does have a chance..

Wow this two-car draft is crazy. Kyle Busch and Dale Jr. are looking good. New ticker also looks sexy. I can't wait for tomorrow night.

I can't believe I have to miss it...so mad about that.

But, thank God for DVR's.

Looks like Teresa gave Mikey crap. He doesn't have the old stylized 15 he won his two 500's with.

That was pathetic. He actually paused in the middle of a freakin sentence to think of a sponsor flub.

I walked away for a couple of minutes. Was it Carl Edwards?

 

[labontefanboy]

Of course it was Edwards. Who else could it be?

Anyway, I think these guys strategy's are kinda bad right now. If you think about, if they start midpack, being able to run a two car draft is not going to help them when they're in the middle of the pack. They should be running in a pack and practicing moving through the field to get in that position imo.

DW just said it really good. "These are not the conditions that they'll be in. I understand why they're doing it, trying to get more speed, but I'm afraid this is gonna come back and bite some of these people." Exactly my point. They need to practice the two-car draft by coming through the field in race conditions. Okay my two-post rant is now over.

 

[Mike24]

Ah...cars on the track. Bud Shootout practice...

*Singing* "Its the most, wonderful time...of the year!!!"

 

[labontefanboy]

The cars are getting lined up again. I hope they run in the pack this session.

 

[labontefanboy]

Wow. Kahne and Martin threading the needle like that was insane. And now Mikey Waltrip and Bobby Labonte are atop the speed charts. Woot woot.

 

[FloridaFan88]

Michael Waltrip's best lap was 44.52 seconds with an average speed of 202.152 mph. That is really fast!!!

 

[Janitor Dave]

The 18 and 20 just upped that by .9 mph.

 

[labontefanboy]

Wow these speeds are starting to get ridiculous. If they wreck in the two-car draft, someone's one their roof.

 

[Janitor Dave]

I knew going to the smaller plate hole size was going to be counter-productive to what they actually set out to do, slow the cars down. Looks like it did just the opposite :/

Dont get your hopes up too much. Its only practice. Its going to be a whole different deal when the green flag waves. I think his biggest issue is going to be finding someone that will run with him during the race. When it comes time to pair up, guys are going to be looking for teammates, and/or good cars and drivers that really know what their doing out there. Unfortunally, Conway doesnt fall into any of those categories. Anything can happen, but again, dont get your hopes too high because you'll probably end up dissappointed.

Lights went out. 0_0

 

[FloridaFan88]

The lights just went out!!!

 

[Janitor Dave]

That was hilarious. :LOL: Well, practice is done for those guys (not really). That would be something if it happened in the main race.
