Surprised Scott spanked the wall he was moving

 

[BGinGA]

2nd hit far worse than the first, lucky no leg damage

 

[BGinGA]

Bad news: 2 drivers out. Good news: 3 drivers now in top ten. Go Daly, Helio, Rossi !

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

I didn't see, what happened to Dixon?

 

[BGinGA]

JJ crash turn 2, red flag shootout.

Dixon caught speeding on final pit stop.

 

[BGinGA]

Kanaan has been running the fastest laps of the top three since the final pit stops. If he can get a jump on the restart, it will be interesting. 50% chance that Felix causes an accident trying to get up front.... opening the door for Rossi?

[David O]

Oh wow. What a way to finish!

 

[slisk250]

Wow. Thought Pato had it. Great drive for Ericsson

 

[BGinGA]

Ganassi has two top cars felled by bad breaks and still wins. #STRONG.

 

[slisk250]

I’ll figure out the scoring after official results are released. I need to find the scoring format we used in the past

 

[ChaosRock]

Strong for sure!!

Other than JJ, the other four Ganassi cars were supposed to finish top 4. Through the Macs in there and we had all of our contenders.

The Penskes were a big disappointment, on the other hand. Same with Andretti Racing.

 

[ChaosRock]

Drove like a Indy vet!! So, so hard to start up front with 2 to go. As Kanaan said during the break, it’s better to start in second or third.

without added it up it’s clear Dunbar destroyed us in group 1 , I think Chippy gets me in group 2 but didn’t add

WooHoo, looks like my 34 seconds of research paid off!!

 

[BGinGA]

I'm still happy with my picks. Worst finish of 12th if you take out the two very unexpected wrecks.

 

[BGinGA]

But Chippy killed it -- take away Dixon's speeding penalty and he likely finishes 1, 2, 4, and 5. impressive.

 

[slisk250]

When Sato went south late it cost me group 2

 

[ChaosRock]

Well done, Chippy and Dunbar!

I need to send Chippy $20 but also $20 to David and $20 to Mike. Is I propose I cover David's and Mike's each $20 to Chippy and I'll send Bill $60.

Just let me know if you guys are okay with that.

 

[ChaosRock]

Bumping the thread!

Just waiting for instructions to settle the bet. Per my comment above, It would be simpler if I could send @Chippy McChiperson the $60 (covering my $20 and the $20 I owe @slisk250 and @David O .

Btw, I finally had the time to watch the Coke600 last night: Great race! I wish we had seen the types of battles Nascar gives us (although not always) on the Indy500. It was a little bit of an underwhelming race for me unfortunately.

I’m totaling the whole thing this morning and will send a pm

I agree with you about the race this time. Usually there is a ton of action up front but Ganassi was so strong few could stay with them. Also the most boring racer won the thing. I’m sure not many folks cared that Ericsson won. I hope that Hevy closes the gap as Honda has an edge.

But I can’t ever watch NASCAR. Fenders are for passenger cars! Haha

There wasn't a ton of action up front or mid-pack to be fair.

Chevy was competitive with the Macs but the Penskes were not up to par for some reason.

I get it but you might be missing out, man...

Yeah, maybe Roger needs to take a bigger role in the race team again. Scott was moving up as expected but stalled around p12 then lost a few spots and wrecked. I was impressed that Jimmy didn’t crash until lap 194.

 

[slisk250]

You are missing out on the sprint cars and midgets!

LOL!!! Me too! Although it wasn't a surprise his only movement was towards the tail end of the field, lol!

 

[ChaosRock]

Btw, Mike, Kimmi Raikonen will be driving one of the road courses this year. It should be fun to watch. Can't remember the team but I think he's racing for Trackhouse, with third car. That team has been outstanding this year and both Chastain and Suarez are gaining a lot of fans... As a Kimmi fan, I'm looking forward to watching him again...

“You will not have the drink Kimi”

I love Kimi.
