Quicken Loans 400 Weekend Discussion

Danica might have a job if this racing thing doesn't work out. She was better than Michael Waltrip today.

 

[Hendrick4life]

That fitting spin between Ryan Reed and the Conley in the 14 was pretty sweet for them not to hit each other lol.

 

[SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

Might be speaking too soon but I wish they had a camera watching Jeremy Clements because that was a heavy impact but at least the safer barriers were there.

 

[zaw24fan]

Hard hit for Jeremy Clements on the inside wall. I couldn't tell if there was SAFER Barrier there or not. Announcers were saying there was.

 

[Hendrick4life]

Your kidding me....

 

[zaw24fan]

These restarts have been absolutely mental.

 

[canadienhits]

That was a good race. It had everything. Very entertaining.

 

[zaw24fan]

Well I'll be damned. Kyle Busch wins at Michigan. Those last 30 laps were absolutely amazing.

 

[WILDISH]

What we learned today:
1. Busch will never stop winning in the Xfinity series.
2. Danica should stick to racing.

Pretty fun race though.

 

[SUPEREEVEEMASTER]

I thought there were some amazing battles throughout the whole field upfront and since these Cup cars are closer the Xfinity cars we could get very similar racing. Once Joey and Kevin were out of the picture I knew Kyle was going to win and I felt bad for Chase who came so close but just couldn't seem to get through turns 3 and 4.

 

[zaw24fan]

Oh quit being a baby, Joey Logano.

 

[Tim2488]

And now for the snoozer that will be Sprint Cup Tomorrow.

 

[Hendrick4life]

Oh quit being a baby, Joey Logano.

Are you kidding me? Chase Elliott absolutely wrecked those two for a chance at the win. He had to know that you cant run the bottom with that much speed underneath a guy.

On another note, Danica wasnt too bad in the booth.

Right. Chase Elliott absolutely wrecked his teammate for a chance to win the race. Chase pushed Harvick off into turn 3 trying to get him by Logano, and Harvick thought he could make it stick. Unfortunately it didn't.

I've almost completely stopped watching the Cup races. Trucks and xFinity have been really entertaining lately. Mostly trucks, but today's race was fantastic, glad to see Kyle back to his winning form and unfortunate that Logano and Harvick slid out of the way. Could've been an amazing four way battle. Good racing all around. Calling Harvick or Johnson tomorrow so I probably won't even bother watching.

 

[4WideRacing]

It's good to see Kyle back in victory lane. Oh, and Kyle has won 50% of the Xfinity races he has run.
Tomorrow's race should be good, hopefully a Toyota ends up in victory lane.

Lets think back to Auto Club 2011 when Kevin Harvick shoved JJ off into T3. He stayed on his bumper up until the last moment so that he could drive by on the outside. I feel as if the same thing happened here with Elliott. Yeah his mindset might have been, ill try n push him by the 22, but the end result was pushing Harvick off into the abyss and getting him to take Logano with him. Opening the door for him to try and win.

Well I mean just because you watch NASCAR doesnt mean it has to be Cup. Everyone has their series they like. BTW im not bashing you, I know that first sentence may come off like it. Just saying that I primarily watch Cup with a few Truck and XNS races sprinkled in, while others may do the opposite. Hopefully a HMS driver can pull off the feat tomorrow. Kasey on pole looking good and Gordon led HH so shaping up for a helluva race.

One of the few Xfinity races that Kyle has won that was actually entertaining.

 

[K.Chuck]

Oh quit being a baby, Joey Logano.

At some point you have to get tired of being wrecked by the same guy all the time. I give him respect for how he really chalked it up to hard racing.

Johnson and Harvick at Auto Club was a two-car battle. What happened today was a three car battle. Again. What kind of sense would it make that Chase Elliott would want to shove his own teammate off into the turn with the mindset of wrecking both of the cars in front of him so he can win the race? Chase was trying to be a good teammate and give Harvick a little bit of a boost off into the turn to draw even with Logano. Harvick tried to stay in it and make the move work, but he got loose and the car just didn't stick. He didn't "push Harvick off into the abyss." He tried to help him get up alongside Logano and take the lead. "Pushing Harvick off into the abyss" would be Chase getting on his bumper and just staying there the entire way through it until Harvick finally couldn't handle the car anymore. It's the end result of what would have been a great move, but unfortunately for the 88 and especially the 22, it just didn't stick.

It ultimately boils down to good hard racing that filled that last 30 laps of this race and made it a really fun race to watch.
