If the 24 team had no knowledge of the manipulation (if it happened) how can you penalize them? Also, if the 1 and 3 were manipulation, then the 23 likely was too.

So we put people into the playoffs now based on talent? Larson missed the cut just like Elliott did. Boo, hoo come back next year and try harder. As for any shenanigans on the last couple laps, unless somebody can demonstrate that somebody from HMS or JGR went to those other teams and asked...

If Bowman was going to dump someone to help Elliott, he would have waited another 20-30 laps. The finish proved that the caution came much too early to truly benefit Elliott.

The couple articles I read made no mention of WHY Irwindale is closing. What's the scoop?

I would have to think awfully hard for an example in Cup where his "style" has resulted in a win he wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Most of his wins this year he had the dominant car and it was just up to him not to screw it up. I'm open to suggestions here, but I'm just not really thinking of...

I've watched Larson his entire career drive like a maniac, dig himself into a hole, and then have to drive like even more of a maniac to try to dig himself out of it. He reminds me of Paul Tracy sometimes, minus the snotty attitude. Unbelievable talent, but often the proverbial dart with no...

I think that run by the 24 in the second half of 1998 is the most impressive thing I have seen in my 50 years of watching racing. If it had happened during the era of social media, people, particularly non-Gordon fans would have been absolutely losing their minds. I never would have imagined at...

In order to win you have to give yourself a chance to win. Wrecking yourself repeatedly when you probably have the fastest car doesn't advance that agenda.

Also keep in mind that if the 5 team doesn't get Kyle out of the pits first at Phoenix, he has ZERO championships. Tell me his way is the right way after he has won a couple of these.

Perhaps, but I have always idolized Foyt and Mears and Al Unser and Pearson and Gordon and Johnson, guys that knew how to win as often as they could, and run top five when they couldn't. Win one week and stuff it in the fence the next is not my style. I'm not Clyde Torkel.

Help me if I'm missing one, but what race has he WON this year by being crazy aggressive? All I can think of is the ones he lost.

Has anyone bothered to calculate where Bowman would be if he was still in? I imagine he would still be below the cut line, but those two top tens should have him close enough to possibly advance.

I wanted him to realize that move wasn't going to work, back off for one second and then attack them again. The guy is on the final four bubble. Points matter, and finishing third would have been MUCH better than 13th, or worse, crashed out. I'm much more of the cold calculated assassin fan...

The problem is that he is ALWAYS trying to hit a home run when sometimes a base hit is all the situation really calls for.

He was very good over a two decade + span, and if he had stayed with Junior Johnson long term I think he would have easily surpassed Pearson, if for no other reason than he was running twice as many races. I haven't had anyone else fact check it, but it is my contention that BA won races with...

To my knowledge, nobody EVER asked the fans what THEY wanted. This was all about NASCAR selling its soul to the TV networks, and having to pay up when the devil came calling. It's one of the great ironies of NASCAR. They so willingly sold their soul for a few extra shiny coins, and then when...

The problem there is as much as it was a bullsh*t rule, the car did not confirm to the rule as written. If Steve Hmeil and Robin Pemberton are to believed, Jack Roush set the whole mess in motion by pissing off NASCAR and many of the other competitors the week before at Daytona during pre-race...

I also don't think it is any secret that Bobby is not in the best of health, and Jim France may well of figured if they didn't act soon, they might never get the chance to properly acknowledge the win with a living winner. I feel this way about the Hall of Fame. There are some people that WILL...

Can't prove it, but the popular theory is that NASCAR was particularly PO'd at Bobby at that time, so they took the fact that he won the race driving a Grand American car as an opportunity to punish him in a not so overt way.

To all the people who have so much faith in NASCAR, how come it took 53 years for them to figure out that SOMEBODY won that race? In light of current events, I think it's appropriate to point out that NOBODY consistently poked the bear that is NASCAR more than one Robert Arthur Allison. Bobby is...
