Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

Honestly, I don't even care what happens with the "final four" BS. The championship hasn't mattered much since the Winston Cup era, IMO. I'm just here to enjoy the racing and hoping my guys compete for wins. The championship is a cool bonus, but it'll never have the same prestige it once held

Winner, winner. Love this thinking.

DQ both of them and put Larson and Hamlin in at this point

My first reaction was to agree with this, but then think about it:

If you remove the 24 and 20 only to put the 5 and 11 in, then Hendrick and Gibbs still win even after manipulating the race. Just different car numbers in the title hunt for them instead.

What a mess.
 
If this stands as it is though, hell I’ve got to admit that the final four lineup is intriguing. I have no idea who to pull for. Maybe Blaney for the repeat? At least his body of work this year is much improved compared to 2023.

Everyone, Blaney, Reddick and Logano are in! There is only one spot

Is there actually a crazy chance they DQ the 24 and 20 for race manipulation and put the 5 in ?

That’s the guy who merits a spot along with, say, Tyler Reddick. The two most complete seasons produced by anyone this year have come from them and their respective teams.
 
Bell’s rotors are glowing red entering 3. Not a full hail melon send. Shady? Sure. But Byron’s protection was as bad or worse.
 
I think you gotta pull it from Bell. Bubba clearly hammed it and slowed up. There is no SMT data proving they did not intentionally pass Byron. Bubba slowed down intentionally
 
Now, this is what I understand.

Bubba was having similar brake issues to Reddick. So he was managing it.

The Chastain and Dillon thing, if they did not go 100% and then a call was put into block blantantly... Yeah, that is wild if that happened.

Bell did not advance any positions after riding the wall either. Got to check data and transcripts from communications. Him being a lap down kinda helps him in this situation.

Sanctioning body is going to have to really take their time and sift through this.
 
Y'all are some sickos if you're calling for a double DQ to let Larson in lol.
 
This hog wash completely overshadowed Blaney’s championship drive, dug deep and found a way but now we have these theatrics that is a result of a gimmick points system.
 
Team orders for everyone!! Lol what a cluster**** .. I believe Bubba had a tire going down more than I'm ok with the 3 and 1 blocking the field and not passing the 24 intentionally
