You're entitled to your point of view in this perceived defense of the race. While you are laying out some facts above, the point I am making is the race was bad. You can disagree as we are all entitled to that opinion and mine is no more "right" or "wrong" than yours. Just understand you are...

A lot of it could be solved with tire wear and we saw that last spring. Now was last spring a little TOO much? Yes. But there is an area there that NASCAR should live in where there is more fall off than what we had Sunday without the extreme of Spring 2024 and that would make things more...

OK. It took me some time to get here obviously because I was at the race and did not get home until 6:30pm last night. This will be a novel too so feel free to skip Stan - especially since I know you will not agree with anything LOL. The word I can use to describe it? Sad is the only one. I...

NO...He won Richmond in 1992 also.

Well said and I just don't understand how biased people can be. When it happened live I was sitting there thinking "what went down there" but made no opinion about it until I saw the onboard for both and heard the radio. Let's be real - if Bubba did anything wrong Larson would have something...

I am pretty sure it was fairly common back then for the leader to win by multiple laps and it had little (if anything) to do with aero and more to do with lack of reliability on parts and tires and the fact that there were only a few really good cars capable of winning and they had everyone...

I know - I just never remember clean air meaning as much as it did in this race at Darlington because usually the tires off set it.

I am still processing the weekend here and the more I have reflected on this race I just feel it's an example of what's wrong with the sport right now. Was there one on track pass for the lead other than Blaney at the end? If there was I missed it. Clean air means too much. Byron held a...

Right. Amazingly enough though...all that will matter in the end in who makes the final 4 is wins. Everyone making an issue about who is higher than Bell in the points is amazing to me given that while yes - he has the 3 wins - he also has 2 finishes of 29th or worse and finished outside the...

Yeah I agree and Denny was the best car for sure but for me this is another example of why the 9 is struggling to win. They lost 2 spots in the pits on the money stop. If they got him the lead then I think the car was good enough to hold the lead. Denny was the best but I think any of the top...

Yes - There was talk of a special chemical being made by Dupont since they were experts on that and sponsoring him.

Nice to have options. Not sure how I watched everything before the advent of DVR. LOL. September/October are huge for me because NFL/NASCAR/MLB are my top 3. We used to have game nights with friends on Sundays and watch the race, Yankee game and both our favorite football teams. Some late...

See...right there. None of us KNOW this. We have no idea how hard he was pushing early in the run compared to what the car was capable of. It COULD be true but we just don't know. It could just as easily be that Larson was better at making speed on worn tires than the rest and without seeing...

How is passer rating determined? Who passes the most cars? That simple?

I don't disagree on what we saw yesterday with Larson. That said, I don't think it's a simple that the driver makes long run speed. I know they have a say in it with how that manage tires but there's a lot more that goes into it with car set up and air pressure and so on. Larson did a great...

Yeah, haven't short tracks like Martinsville always been this way? I remember Bristol back in the day was they way too before the reconfigure.

Yeah - it's another example like I was saying with Bell where it's not like they were dominating but they executed all day and things went their way at the end. The long run, Blaney blowing up and Alex chocking and pounding the wall all were what he needed. I am not positive he needed Alex to...

I don't know about that....why do you think that? I mean the fact that I am just getting here this AM to see only 3 pages of chat kind of tells the tale to me that it was an OK race at best. I thought it was getting really good at the beginning of the final stage - lots of comers and goers and...

Very funny that last week he had a 15-20th place car and finished 10th and this week he probably had a top 3 car and finished 10th. Racing. I think when he got the speeding penalty that made some adjustments that they thought would be helpful to get through traffic but were not and kind of...

I think Larson will continue to dominate on tracks such as Vegas, Homestead, Bristol and Darlington where he can work the high line. It sucks because I have my tickets and am headed to Bristol next month and not looking forward to a repeat of the Fall but I have always wanted to go if anything...
