2019 Clash RACE thread

I could argue he didn't see the incident very well. I believe it was the third replay before DW said it was Johnson's fault. I could say some are just looking for anything to complain about. I know I was convinced when they got around to showing a replay from the back before I knew for sure Menard didn't come down but a bit and it looked like Jimmie's car pulled him over and lifted him up.
 
I dont know how many people were there, you took the numbers from someone elses post. It was an exibition race and I would imagine a couple million watched it on TV. Nobody really cares what you think, its obvious to all that you are an antagonist.


Speak for yourself
 
Not sure what the issue is as I thought more than 5000 would attend. Is there something wrong with thinking that?
It’s not relevant to anything, why are you even coming up with a number for attendance for an exhibition race that’s not even a full field.
 
how did ya count em when you didn't watch the race?..asking for a friend. Man on the street told ya? this is the racing thread Why don't you start a seating thread little guy.
Don’t give anyone any ideas lmao. Ugh.
 
Hard to tell....Got @StandOnIt calling me a name, and then turning around referring to trolls. Alcohol may be a factor if I had to guess.

He ain't talking about you. Sorry he called you that, wasn't necessary, but he's aggravated about trying to post usefully amongst the troll blabber about attendance this and ratings that. You may be insane ;), but you are not a troll.
 
I started going to that race 25 years ago. I'm 32 now.

That's fine if they watched on TV. There's less seats now and a lot less people in them, so I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. I wasn't really complaining about attendance as much as I was complaining about their asinine ticket, and even food prices for an exhibition event with half a field full of half-assing drivers.
Half ass drivers? lol. ok. As for what you paid for a ticket, thats up to you. They had many tickets under 50 bucks, hell they have tickets for the 500 for 100 bucks! Compare that to a damn pro football game.
 
Jeff Gordon should not be in the booth because he has a financial stake in Hendrick Motorsports, not because he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Critical Thinking is what leads to the truth that he has a financial stake in HMS and that THAT compromises his position as an impartial and neutral analyst/reporter providing commentary. Sorry if that wasn’t clear... :)

I’m surprised there are still tickets available for the 500.
 
You said there were 100 dollar tickets available for the race. I said I was surprised that tickets were still available for the race. With Daytona being billed as the Super Bowl of Nascar and the biggest event of the year I am surprised that race isn’t sold out yet. Don’t look for trouble where none exists and don’t be paranoid.
Who said they were still available.......bud

I paid $50 for a $120 ticket because I've been going there long enough to know that that is possible if you just wait. Some people don't know that and the track is taking advantage of those people by setting those crazy high prices. I have an issue with that when the product is subpar and watered down compared to their other events.

I wasn't talking about the 500. But as a comparison to your example, is the NFL charging $120 for a preseason game? Cause that's essentially what The Clash is. Except it lasts half as long.
 
I asked a member who was at the race how many people he thought were in attendance. He said 5000 and it surprised me as I thought more people would have attended. What is the problem?
It is not next week

What was "watered down"?

I get Bills tickets for less than $20. Outside of a select few teams (Packers, Patriots, Eagles, Seahawks couple more) teams NFL tickets can be had pretty cheap. I can generally get pretty solid upper deck (between the 20s) Steelers tickets for $50-$75.

Daytona and Bristol tickets are insanely expensive relative to the rest of the circuit. The Clash use to be 20 laps and drew very well. The fact it was the first competitive Cup race of the year made it an "event" in its own right.

Actually you were attempting to speak for others when you said " nobody" cares what the other poster thinks. Also the " its obvious to all" part suggests that you were speaking for more than just yourself. You don't speak for me when you say those things, I speak for myself. BTW . I am not yer bud

I paid $38 for mine on stub hub Thursday night. For the coke 400 I couldn't get free rolex lounge tixs so I paid $450 for 2 and these are $1200 each.
 
I like Jeff for the most part, but he was definitely bias on this incident imo. Avoiding blame on JJ it seemed.

I think it's as simple as Jimmie misjudged where Menard's left rear was going to be or got aero sucked into Menard's left rear, in either case Johnson has to take full blame for hooking the leader in the left rear and wiping out the field. I don't think Menard tried anything except holding his line, he doesn't come down until he's already hit in the left rear imo.

Just my take. Moving' on to the 500!
Jimmie got a run. Menard came down to block. The air disturbed Menards car enough to turn him. It was a racing incident. Get over it.
 
Jeff Gordon should not be in the booth because he has a financial stake in Hendrick Motorsports, not because he doesn't know what he's talking about.
So, he has some sort of influence over the sanctioning body because he’s a TV analyst? That’s a stupid statement.
 
See above post.

Thanks, I sincerely appreciate your post.
I hope all is well with you.
 
It's called THE CLASH for a reason.

“It’s called THE TRASH for a reason.” Feel free to use that in the marketing, for truth in advertising.

This whole Daytona festival of meaningless racing to start the year has outlived its appeal.

It should be showcasing the new season and rules in the top three series — instead it is stale and uninspired.
 
It just didn't seem right watching Jimmy and Chad on different teams.

It didn’t seem right, watching Jimmie and Chad on the same team last year. Chad is a nagger, and Jimmie was looking for a new work-wife.

Things change... :D
 
“THE CLASH/TRASH/CRASH”

Come out and enjoy the first big wrecks of the NASCAR Season! Watch teams junk expensive cars for a meaningless race...
