    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    Just saying what I have seen in general. You are basically seeing the same thing in reverse so maybe we are both either a little bias or more sensitive to it. We are both reasonable people so I know neither of us are making it up. Since Larson came to HMS I constantly see Larson fans trying...

    I'll take your word for it. LOL. You are right though - I am painting broad strokes here and nothing I say is meant to be taken as "for all."

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    OK Stan - I will bite here as much as I may regret it. I have been bitching about this format for a while saying the old would be better now that the competition is so much closer and the cars so much more reliable which everyone seems to disagree with and that's fine but how would you fix...

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    My only issue with Larson fans is comments like that right there. Larson has been better yes but he's been better than everyone, not just Chase and Chase is not as "distant" as people think. Considering everything that has gone wrong for him in that this new car just does not suit his style...

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    That seems pessimistic. I am optimistic that Chase finally has this new car figured out and they really have been bringing speed consistently these past few weeks for the first time in a while. We will see how next year starts because momentum is everything in this sport but he seems to be on...

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    See right there tough "he's the best in the biz." Larson fans say that so much and nothing deters them form that. To be clear, I am not necessarily disagreeing on that but at what point to we start to question this? He sure seems to wreck a lot of his own making for being as good as he is I...

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    I feel your pain. I really do. Sucks when your guy comes so close. When Chase took the lead I was sitting there thinking about how amazing it would be after not being able to win enough races/stages all year to pull a win there and race for a title. He needed to get better at this car though...

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    Wasn't Bowman also? I think he would have had to basically stop and then he would not have been able to get down because the train would be going by.

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    I don't think that's ever really been question that he was really good. It's all about putting it all together at the right time and he is showing he has the ability to do that. I see he and Chase as very similar in their approach and talent in that they may not win as many races as a Larson...

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    I think he said once he got in the marbles that was it and he was kind of along for the ride. I guess he could have tried to slow down to get off the wall but he would have been passed if he did that.

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    Man...where to start? It was a great race which to me is yet another example of what happens when you bring a soft tire. The first thing I will say that that probably not everyone agrees on is that Bell got hosed. They said it on the broadcast but what he did and what Chastain did are very...

    Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

    So just saw that Tom Cruise is in talks with Paramount to make Days of Thunder 2. I would be so stoked for this. Obviously Nicole Kidman would not be back but I feel like there is a story there where Cole Trickle had early success in his career but has become a broken man facing retirement and...

    Cup RACE thread --- Homestead

    I can't help but feel that may be addressed to me since I have said many times "I don't hate him but...." Do you know what it will mean if Larson missed the final 4? NOTHING. It changes absolutory nothing about how good a driver he is or anything like that, He has had a bad playoff plain and...

    Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

    How on earth could this have been Reddick's fault? What are people looking at? I'm not sure it was anyone's fault but probably least of all his.

    Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

    It was an odd crash for sure and one that I looked at quite a few times and could not decide who was at fault so I guess it's the definition of one of those "racing deals." I think Truex did squeeze everyone a little but it seemed like there was still room. It was strange.

    Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

    So I am not OK with this. Joey Logano has been an almost non-factor all year with exception of a few races and now he is running for a championship because of a fuel mileage win? This is why I say "win and you're in" needs to go away. Yeah - Maybe it's just sour grapes because of what...

    hmmmmmm...All tracks Larson does really well at? I'm gonna call bias. LOL I say we run the title race at Watkins Glen in the last gen car. :)

    Yeah and Martinsville may be flat but it's just a different animal all together.

    HA! I went into my way back machine. LOL. I wish Homestead was the finale over Phoenix.

    Cup RACE thread --- Roval

    Lots of guys were caught up in that considering it was the biggest wreck in history apparently. If Chase is not caught in it he would not have had to play the stage point strategy all day yesterday. Logano got a gift here and there's nothing wrong with that.
