The thing I found most surprising was how Newman was able to step up his performance each round. For all those saying RCR is junk, I don't know about that. If he had 4 tires at the end, who knows what could have happened. Either way it looked to me like RCR really closed the performance gap in...

For a driver coming from a totally different racing background, he had more success than most others do. Don't forget in addition to his 2 Cup wins, he also won 5 times in Nationwide. He did alright if you ask me, and he was always exciting and entertaining to watch.

Newman did what he had to do, and it was the move of the race.

What a driver this kid is...next stop Victory Lane in the Cup series.

Here's another angle on it...JR Motorsports to Cup in 2016 with Kasey as driver and Valvoline as sponsor. Operate it as a satellite team like the 78 team and RCR.

I think when you're as talented as Kasey is and have a résumé like his, those opportunities will present themselves. Look at Kurt Busch, a lot of people were saying there wasn't really anywhere to go but the 41 car appeared overnight out of thin air. He's good enough that some owners might be...

I definitely could see Kasey going to SHR down the road but there's no way in hell he goes down to Xfinity series next year. This isint Regan Smith or Elliot Sadler we're talking about here. Kahne is a bonafide Cup driver and an upper echelon one at that, a guy with 17 career wins and a bunch of...

I thought I saw guys from the 27 Menards team involved too, might have just been me though.

Ok I'll bite...I'll root for a guy who goes out and lays everything on the line. He looks like a dumba** from time to time but you can't knock his effort. He can win on any type of track, and at the end of the day I'd much rather watch a driver like him; than a guy who pulls over for everyone...

Yeah I enjoyed it too, really got some good info and insight from that show, but as others have mentioned it likely only appealed to the hardcore fans.

Reminds me of when the NHL came up with the glowing puck...one of the most embarrassing periods in the history of hockey.

Anothing amusing angle to all this is the fact that Newman was Penske's guy back in '03 and Roger was pretty vocal about how he felt that wins should be more important, and I believe he was a big supporter of bringing in the Chase. Fast forward to now, and Penske's guys are sitting with all the...

Such simple concepts, yet so far from the France reality...why is that?

The real freak out would be in the NASCAR boardroom, Brian France looks around at all his yes men and wonders how his masterful plan crumbled into pure nonsense.

No doubt he should have won it in 03, but the big difference here is that IMO he doesn't even deserve to be in the conversation for it this year. He's had a solidly average year, coming off back to back top 5 finishes; he still has less top 5's than Kez and Logano have wins. He has no poles, no...

After Newman failed to win the title during his 8 win season, if he is able to win it this year while going winless, well the irony would be nothing less than hilarious.

Heard that too, and I chuckled. Come on Jimmie, as if you actually expected Kurt of all people to push you because he's in a Hendrick car. How many favours have those two EVER done for each other?

Not sure if serious...

Yep, your other post was bang on too. HMS has plenty of resources for all their teams. Maybe at some smaller teams that might be an issue but definitely not at HMS. I've also said in the past that perhaps the personnel ie pit crews might not all be on equal footing. However the equipment...

Yeah somebody didn't get the memo and if it was my race team; that somebody would be looking for a new job by now.
