Really, Tony?

 

[GTFan24]

FFS NBC!

 

[AnthonyD1993]

To be fair to NBC, I'd rather have the commercials now instead of later when the end of the race is the part of the race that matters most (especially with the post race activities).

I would be ok with this if it actually reduced the number of late-race commercials, which it won't.

Kyle Larson putting on a clinic in the high line!

Unfortunately that's not how NBC works.

 

[Dylan]

Edwards back to the front! Kyle Busch to the pits with a flat.

 

[nascarfan1400]

GO GET YOU SOME CARL AND LARSON GO BOYS GO!

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Right front down for Busch! He'll need things to cycle through.

 

[GTFan24]

These commercials my god

 

[RACECAR]

That's Network TV in General, hardly a NBC exclusive problem as we've seen with Fox AND ABC.

 

[BKGlover]

Are they gonna run out of tires?

 

[Dylan]

Are they gonna run out of tires?

Probably not.

Is it just me or is this race going by really fast?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I think at this point a late caution is the only way anybody other than Edwards wins the championship.

A Larson win would soften the blow of Johnson not winning the title though.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Probably not.

It's only a 400 mile race and there hasn't been many cautions.

I think at this point a late caution is the only way anybody other than Edwards wins the championship.

Then someone other than Edwards will win.

 

[tbwhhs]

Until this yellow they were on pace to set a new race record.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Even though I do not want him to win the championship, I've been tempted to try out that NOS rowdy drink

 

[NW48]

Well, one of the few races in the year I get to watch, and it's the one that matters most in terms of the championship. Obviously pulling for Jimmie Johnson, he's been my favourite driver since I was 3 so watching get that elusive record setting 7th championship would be amazing for me.

Unfortunately for me, he's dragging the tail of the championship 4 all the way back in 10th.

 

[NASCARGT]

And none of the cautions were legitimate IMO. We could easily have had a caution free race tonight. Hopefully this doesn't give NASCAR any ideas for next year...

Yeah even NASCAR wouldn't be dumb enough to create a system which sent out the safety car if nobody crashed for 20 minutes. That would just be silly.

Hahahahahahahaha...

Oh. Right.

[OutlawQuadrnt]

As it stands, I'd give the edge to Logano because of the feeling it's going to come down to a short final run. Kyle as well if he's close enough to the front. Long run favors Edwards.

I'm not counting Johnson out but Knaus is going to need a championship winning adjustment.

 

[NW48]

Another caution after Blaney tapped the wall .

 

[nascarfan1400]

Bad luck or bad driving from the 21 this year?

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

This caution should be exactly what the 48 needs. That said, tough luck for Blaney though.

 

[L8 Apex]

Yes.

 

[Northstar]

To be fair NASCAR didn't come up with the idea. ARCA has had it for years, they've just never hit the 20 minutes without a caution mark.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Someone send a memo to Penske and Wood Brothers, Edwards wanted the #22 to have a flag side, not the #21.

 

[catamount39]

Yes.

The last stop Jimmie did, they adjusted something on the car and it's been looking better than it has all day. Whether or not it's that winning adjustment remains to be seen.

They just made another wedge adjustment and put 4 new tyres on it. Let's see how this one works out.
