Official /turnleft/ Xfinity Ford EcoBoost 300 @ Homestead-Miami Speedway Race Thread

A champion will be crowned.

Prerace coverage has begun on NBCSN.

Winner roll

Alrighty then.

What is Mike Harmon eating right now to get ready for today's race?

...

the bones

>no Toyotas

Thank heavens for this series. I'm OK with any of these guys winning. Would like to see Jr get a championship, but if Hemric wins that'd be awesome as well.

1. Sadler
2. Allgaier
3. Byron
4. Hemric

>nbc still showing divegrass bullshit

Nothing
But
Cocksucking faggots

Byron is obviously talented as shit, but he's boring enough to make Jimmie look exciting. He's like a fuckin robot.

>that karaoke in the background

Hopefully this race is better than the trucks race

>Knaus will be Allgaier's crew chief

Rooting for Byron to become NASCAR's first Soy Boy Champion

How does Sadler get cucked out of the championship today?

>Changing the tune of the anthem mid-song

Why

This is pretty fucking cool.

I blew off last night to go hang out with really old friends.

Today my mom invited me to a super fancy piano recital at her house but instead I'm smoking weed in my pajamas and watching the championship race with you guys.

I don't even care who wins, this is pretty cool.

But I kinda like William Byron.

Rooting for Hemric today. He's a throwback.

Y-you're a soyboy.

That copypasta is hilarious, BTW. And Byron is a little childlike. Not so much effeminate as low test. But not beta.

Captain Wild Bill
nice

...

Can I come over user?

I wouldnt call Byron a soyboy. He is just a kid. Let hom grow up a bit first.

Now Rutlege, theres a fucking soyboy for you

>beetus

No I'm too embarrased to meet a fellow male redditor.

I've only ever hooked up with girls off reddit and that's different.

I could dress up like a girl if you wanted...

I had no idea people did this. How the Hell do you manage to meet grills on Plebbit?

>failey

>JJ Yaley spin

Oh shit I meant Sup Forums. I met the girls on Sup Forums!

Reddit I have done meetups and yeah girls were there but it was friend group kind of stuff.

usually i just go on there and post about the subtleties of the humor used in rick and morty. its truly the era of brains over brawn and i have been doing very well

I love Steve Letarte immediately jumping to the tire analysis. The tires have already lost over 2 seconds. Also the preciseness that cars that DON'T pit will almost certainly get lapped in 26 laps.

That kind of precision and insight into the tactics is really great.

LOL

>Annett 18th
what's his deal?

fun race between reddit and custard

Yeah that was a GREAT battle! Four passes for the lead in two laps!

Sadler closing in on Hemrick

gallagher OUT OF NOWHERE

Not very good. But to his credit he usually works his way close to the top 10 by the end of the race.

...

Is there going to be the same tire dropoff in the Cup race tomorrow?

No, they're going to repave the track overnight.

>7 car is loose
Knaus does it again

trips confirm

>8th
>9
>14
>16
It's not like it's cup guys up front either

>Gallagher 3rd

OK. How much of it is the abrasiveness of the track and how much is the tire compound, though?

I don't know if they use the same compounds or types of compounds in Cup as in Xfinity, so that's why I'm asking.

Modern technology is amazing

This track surface is pretty abrasive to the tires
I think it's more track than compound
Goodyear is too pussy assed to make a decent racing tire with fall off

>Josh Williams passing Matt Tifft

Ok, serious answer, in qualifying, they were making a big deal out of running even 1 extra lap on the tires and how it would hurt the time both in qualifying and in the race. I'd imagine it's a similar compound to what Xfinity is running today since Goodyear has been doing that pretty often this year.

Press F for Hemric

>hemric

WE
DID
IT
BOYS

Jr championship is official

F

RIP Hemcric

Give Elliott Sadler your energy lads \o/\o/\o/

championship implications for hemric there boys

sasuga RCR

This is painful to watch

>yfw all 3 jr cars wreck each other and Hemric still wins the championship

Sadler is on Byron's bumper

hemric just sitting there

Hemric is back for the honor at least

...

Byron is going to pull a Larson and smack the wall running up there

>bell

Toyota testing new engine parts for next year.

leljoie up into 10th
guy's gotten a bad rap driving those BK shitboxes

Fucking cuckledge

Thanks, man. Very appreciated.

Stop hating on Rutledge

Now THAT's a Soy Boy.

It's weird to hear knaus talking to another driver in the radio

Is Chad Knaus going to win this championship for Alligator?

Rick, stop yelling

He's so nice, too!

KYLE BUSCH WILL WIN HERE AT

>coach Max Papis

Give the wall your energy lads \o/\o/\o/
Give it the magnetic field necessary to suck that 9 car in

I'm not saying the media wants Byron to win, but

Wtf was wrong with that gas can?

does anyone else watch with the tv muted because the nbc crew is so terrible?

mute it and play MRN/PRN or just listen to drivers and race control

He's a better coach than a driver, dude.

Also how many sets of tires does each team have left?

>custatd with a 10 second lead
I guess he regrets not bumping the 21 out of the way last week

Can can you hate Letarte and Jeff Burton?

Sure there are better driver commentators but Steve Letarte is a racing man's commentator. He knows his shit and is into it.

Prolly cause he has the only thing that an save NASCAR, southern boy with true grit. (chase Elliot doesn't have grit, just talent)

This is Byron's championship to lose

they both spend more time shilling and constantly trying to justify the chase than actually calling the race.

Oh I just tune that out. All the commentators have to do that. It's the stuff in between that distinguishes commentators from each other.

>inb4 Byron and Sadler wreck each other out and Alligator wins the championship

I'LL WRECK HIM

>If he goes back to the wall I'm going to wreck his ass
Elliott Sadler

oh FUCK

Sadler said he might have cut the tire

This is getting good.

Sadler is saving tires
William is going to burn his off trying to get back around

Hold onto your butts.

This is a kino match race

no cautions pls

BYRON CRACKED PRESSURE
