    The shake and bake adjustment, 19 sandbagging?

    as I watched the closing few laps yesterday, The battle for the race win was between the 4 car and the 19, the 4 car was pulling a big lead on the 19, in fact the 19 radios in and says I am wide open and he is pulling away. BTW I don't believe that. I find it pretty darn strange that after...

    What do you think is the main cause of Jimmie Johnson's poor performance?

    what if the cars suck? you are forgetting that, or maybe you are making my point, jimmie did well in the old car, the COT car and all the cars up to this point. The main biggest change is the horsepower level. All those prior cars normally had the full 850 hp, which was lowered to 750 and now...

    What do you think is the main cause of Jimmie Johnson's poor performance?

    noticed jimme is p3 in first practice off the truck. that looks like a great sign. noted however that the 24 car is often faster off the truck and is p2 in first practice. don't think it goes unnoticed that chad is bringing a faster car to the track than the 48 gets.

    What do you think is the main cause of Jimmie Johnson's poor performance?

    yeah jimmie explains his driving style, what really led to jimmie running worse was the reduction in horsepower. he explains his style uses a lot of brake, and a careful and controlled throttle off the corner. Last year with even the low downforce rules they were running a lot of throttle...

    menards brickyard win was a fluke, if you don't think so, you didn't watch that race. YES the 21 car is really a penske car. Its prepared in the penske race shop. Also interesting to me was we all know paul menard brings all the sponsorship money to the table. If there is a fully...

    It’s more than that the 21 car is essentially a Penske car.

    Indy crowd looks like a rain delay

    there is no way there was 65k in the stands. even the crowd on the front stretch and turn 1 was only about 15% full. The rest of the stands were empty with maybe a few people that probably moved in those areas to get away from everyone and watch the race from another vantage. I suspect nascar...

    Indy crowd looks like a rain delay

    that is the most pathetic non rain delay crowd I have ever seen. Including even at a nxs race. What is there 10k people there? That crowd is embarrassing. If that is the crowd nascar has no business going to Indy any more

    why are we running the IROC package at darlington?

    as I said in another thread, you guys have forgotten what a good darlington race looks like. Darlington has been my favorite track for quite a few years. I actually had family pressure to do things yesterday and put my foot down and sad dangit this is my favorite race to watch of the year...

    why are we running the IROC package at darlington?

    why are we running the IROC package at darlington?

    why did nascar come out with the high drag low hp package, AKA I call it the IROC package because those cars had similar power levels. So why did they? answer, to promote drafting and suck up at larger race tracks. Darlington drives more like a short track than a big track, drafting has...

    why are we running the IROC package at darlington?

    it looks like we are running the 550 hp engine and rules for this weekends race. I think that is a big mistake for darlington. Its a track that has always put on a great race. It races lots better with cars that have lots of power to get to the ground. The Iroc package works best at tracks...

    Matt Borland (Crew Chief for Ty Dillon) Suspended

    this substance seems more serious than they are letting on. lots of people have failed sports drug tests with it. They always try to say it was cold medicine or something. I have a tuff time thinking nascar wouldn't do what they could to work with people who tested for marginal substances. a...

    Tony on young drivers

    here is what tony is meaning to say!!! and its exactly correct. The problem is these guys come into the sport and they have NO story. I mean who wants to hear the story of austin dillon and paul menard having rich dads? Chase elliott kinda has a story but if it wasn't for his dad's fame...

    big crowd at bristol

    this is an interesting video. I personally think side force is also the enemy to having these cars look different across the makes. Nascar has tried to get rid of it. They have had all sorts of rules that mandate the rear trailing arm staying in place. Teams have come up with bushings and all...

    Newman and how he races?

    I see nothing wrong with a guy racing this way during the middle of the race, I see nothing wrong with racing this way when running for position in the top 10 in the closing laps. making a guy loose 8/10's and half their lead when they are running for their career, their first win, and the...
