    Jamie McMurray Appreciation Thread

    I'm a little disappointed in NASCARs response to Jamie McMurray retiring this year. Not even a post race interview with him? He started in the back and raced his way to the front, leading the Daytona 500 with 20 laps to go. That's a heck of a way to go out! Not to mention he finished in front of...

    Favorite finish of the year

    Some may argue that the racing has been dull this year, but there is no arguing that the endings have been fantastic. Daytona 500, Chicago, Roval, Martinsville, etc. What has been your favorite ending of the year? I'm going with the Roval. Ole 7-time locks it up and spins into MTJ in the last...

    Thought this was kind of cool. Nose to Nose Burnout

    https://www.nascar.com/video/franchise/nascar-burnout-blvd-fueled-by-sunoco/elliott-blaney-go-nose-nose-burnout-boulevard/#1 9 and 12 go nose to nose to do a burnout in Vegas. I thought that was pretty clever and kinda cool.

    Rate the All-Star Race Experiment

    I'm experimenting with a different way to rate each race and wouldn't mind some feedback. The rating is from 0 to 11, but mainly 1-10. There is no 5 because it is in the middle. I would prefer to know if the race was slightly positive or slightly negative rather than just middle of the road...

    The DNF thread

    As of 7/11, the most DNFs by a single driver is 4. The list of these drivers is kind of interesting. Drivers with 4 DNFs Byron - rookie McMurray - this is a little surprising since he is usually Mr. Consistent and points into the playoffs each year McDowell - this seems about average for him...

    Best races of all time (project)

    So I have been following the rate the race thread and have been somewhat befuddled by the high scores for some of the races this season. Everyone has their own opinion which is great, but I thought it would be good to have a list of top 10 races to compare to so everyone is rating on the same...

    On the lighter side

    I thought this was pretty funny. https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2018/06/20/dale-earnhardt-jr-recalls-race-to-a-port-a-john-with-brad-keselowski/ I don't know how, but NASCAR definitely needs to capture more of the "hangin out" times with the drivers. Does Clint Bowyer have his own reality...

    Lessons Learned from Memorial Day Weekend Racing

    As the title states, what did you learn over the weekend? 1. Indycar broke their aero package (specifically for the 500). The race was still interesting to watch but not as interesting as the previous few years. IMO. 2. Poor, Poor Danica. 3. Sherry Pollex > Liz Power, even though I think they...

    GRC in iracing

    Anyone try this yet? I have let my subscription run out because i have been busy with other things, but this looks kind of fun to try. I don't have a handbrake so that could be an issue but what can you do? I also heard there are new ratings for the dirt. An oval rating and a road rating. I...

    NASCAR planning to mandate standard pit gun beginning in 2018

    From JeffGluck.com Standard pit guns next year. http://jeffgluck.com/ This will put a premium on the good tire changers! Their salaries should start going up! haha

    Next Four Out

    Ok, time to pay the piper. My apologies to the 17 and 21 teams. The 21 came on strong in the first round and didn't make many mistakes. The 17 got lucky and won some stage points at Dover. Congrats. next four out; 1, 4, 11, 17 This was a tough decision, but these 4 teams haven't been doing as...

    One final thought about Bristol

    I'm not sure how everyone else feels but I thought the racing at Bristol was pretty good this weekend. There seemed to be some side by side racing and cars seemed to be able to pass one another. There is still room for improvement but overall I thought it was one of the better races of the year...

    2017 s3

    We are now about midway through week 1. What is everybody driving this season? Are people taking a season off due to summer? I am running the new Ford GTE this season but might do something oval if there are enough guys here doing the same oval car.

    American Autoracing Triple Crown

    So I have been reading a lot of articles on racer.com lately, and they talk about Fernando Alonso's Indy 500 run a few weeks ago. For those that might not know, this guy is an F1 driver that decided to ditch the F1 Monaco race and instead race in the Indy 500. (The Monaco race and indy 500 are...

    Playoff Outlook

    Since we are now officially halfway through the "regular" season, I thought it might be interesting to see what the playoff outlook will be after each race. This might not be sorted correctly at this point but here is how I did it and you can let me know if I'm doing it wrong because the system...

    2017 GTE cars

    Looks like we are getting the 2017 Ford GT along with the Ferrari GTE cars possibly for the June build. I know most of you guys are oval only types, but these are two awesome cars! I'm excited, that's for sure.

    Slow News Week

    Since this seems to be a slow NASCAR news week and we are all just waiting for the season to start, I thought I would throw a topic out there to get some feedback. I don't know if I have ever brought this up here or not, but I have certainly spent a lot of time thinking it through. Anyway, my...

    How does this season compare to past few seasons?

    With the 2016 season coming to a close, I wanted to see what people thought of the racing this season opposed to the previous couple of seasons. This year we saw the new lower downforce package and I thought it was definitely a step in the right direction on most tracks. To me, the first Dover...

    4 and 41 have words after Dega

    http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2016/10/23/sprint-cup-talladega-superspeedway-kevin-harvick-kurt-busch-altercation.html Not sure why the scuffle but I thought Kevin might have overracted a bit. You don't know why someone "cleaned you out" so you just walk up to his car and start...
