That's true but even if he doesn't get taken out in the heat race, he will get what 19th gate pick? It isn't setting up well for him for sure. Just crazy how bad his luck has been in a few of these championships 

 

Seen plenty of main holeshots with winners of the LCQ. Get a clue

Eli gifts another championship away. Unbelievable. I can't believe what I just saw. I think it was probably more of Coopers fault but hard to tell. Tomac was already in his turn and about to accelerate out. I just can't believe the dumb F'ing luck the guy has. Hunter is smiling inside. He is going to put a huge gap on the points tonight. Sucks something like this is going to erase an awesome season

He’ll be fine. Extra track time, and even if he gets bad start he can get top 5.

He’ll pull a “Prado at Budds Creek” and come around the first turn in second…

There will be an inside gate open for Tomac. Then we line Prado up next to Hunta. Problem solved.

Malcom, Prado, and Jcoop. They have come out of the LCQ and got a decent start to the main. And they just said Tomac the last time he was in the LCQ in 19, he won the race. Hold it buddy

Stop being obtuse.

Im just trying to follow how making a reference to another sport is an error in your example. 

Literally in this very thread another poster mentioned RC making references to auto racing as being a faux pas.

 

Im just applying the same logic.

You are making my point...if you want to criticize a color commentor its very easy.

 

If i were to re-watch this tomorrow and apply a critical ear to James, I'll bet i could come up several other "issues"which would normally be an entire Thread Topic had it been RC.

Frankly, this telecast has been the best of the season, IMO.  Less Will, less drone shots...but then again, Im not generally critical of the telecasts to begin with because I can remember calling 1-900-Race to find out what happened.

The universe punished Tomac for being a whiny little bitch and made him ride with a field of nothing but lappers.

Probably a stupid question, but why is now one crossing lane in split lane to lets say go outside outside or inside inside? Is it not permitted?

I don't think it's been done in the 450 class. 2013 A3 Dungey had to go to the LCQ after his air shock shit the bed in the heat race. Finished 2nd in the LCQ and won the main event.

They’ve said more than once on the broadcast that Tomac did it in Nashville 2019.

So will Ferry show -2 points on the championship page? Or do they leave him off completely until he earns at least 3 points?

Deegan obviously doesn’t need to win, but I wonder if he’s enough of a team player to put himself between Davies and Hammaker to pad his points lead?

Great racing!!! Kitchen too scared to race Deegan the way he’s racing Davies? We need more of this Kitchen on the west coast! Starts and aggression. I’m a fan of both Davies and Kitchen. This is awesome
