    I hope NASCAR does not change a thing that Q session was the most fun I ever had watching Q. Confusion in the booth to the point of being speechless, drivers confused & p'd off, NASCAR playing CYA, everybody here with their shorts in a wad. Everything is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What is the Most Important Suspension Component on a Cup Car?

    Agree if used as a datum line. IMHO it all changes in practical application, Spring loads constantly change during the course of an event.

    Cup RACE thread --- Martinsville, Rd. 2

    Great debate -- love it. IMHO: If either Dale Earnhardt were in the 22 Sunday work on a 20' high bronze Earnhardt sculpture for the entrance to Mville would have started Monday + every city hall would receive a petition to change a street name to Earnhardt. On to Texas

    What is the Most Important Suspension Component on a Cup Car?

    For a single component I'll stick with front end hardware & state its the spindles. Pin height, overall height & KPI as it relates to ride height, camber curve, front roll center & tire scrub radius. If the steering arms need to be fixed then Ackerman enters into the equation (toe steer). One...

    What is the Most Important Suspension Component on a Cup Car?

    Its front end geometry, spindle height / A-arm length = camber curve & RC height + bump & toe steer. Play with your rear ends all you like if the nose won't roll the corner your dragging the front end due to tire scrub = your backing up.

    Xfinity RACE thread ---- Charlotte

    Tried to save the nose on the 18 by turning left & avoid squirreling the rookie in front of him that slowed on the restart he was then pinched down on to the wet grass. The above is just my opinion. The booth called it aggressive driving, KDB haters & BK fans will probably concur.

    Kyle Petty on “Most Non-Aggressive Martinsville Race”

    Often I think I have watched a different race than the one being discussed. KP said "All we have today to talk about is a caved-in front end on a Toyota of Denny Hamlin". IMHO the key to Bowyer's win happened on lap 384(?) when Massey Ferguson Austin Dillon dumped the 1 which allowed Bowyer...

    Now, I agree with having a NASCAR Driver Union

    If you lock a kid or a animal in a hot car expect a chat with local law enforcement. My biased opinion: The problems began long before "lug nut gate" & have square rooted since then. There was a time when I could enjoy a race now all of the before & after BS has taken precedence. New England...
