Looks like he's still trying to save it, turning into the spin. That kid's got balls like moons.
 
This is a preview of what we will see on raceday. Multi-car wrecks will happen.
This is why you do not sit in the lower rows at a plate race.

I gave up on placing blame at RP tracks, 3 wide 10 inches apart, drivers have so much safety gear that drivers can't see anything, really hard on spotters when they are racing like that
 
I am starting to like this Dillon kid. I'm pretty impressed with the way he has handled all this attention he is getting since he has moved into the cup cars. I don't have a problem with cowboy hats so I might end up putting him on my list of drivers to root for before the racing starts.

Yeah, I thought it was obviously Kenseth but the guys in the interviews were giving joey hell. Maybe they know something we don't? Or maybe Joey did something to piss people off beforehand, like somebody said earlier in this thread.

Like I said... I have a feeling some of those guys don't like whatever moves Joey had to make to put that fast lap in. The lap before the wreck Joey jumped up to 3rd on the chart.

Maybe you should check to see what the person I'm talking to said before you go all dickhead about it.

Whatever happened, you can be sure that it will never be the fault of #2 or #22 :)

He was getting pretty racey

... clearly getting racey in RP track practice is not smart... thought that went without say. All I even said was why I think they seemed mad at him. Did I say he didn't do anything? That being said I believe it was more Kenseths fault... again.. but still I never said Joey didn't do anything wrong... he was getting to racey for practice and was sticking his car in a small spot that he saw open up... should he have taken it easy? Clearly.. but without Kenseth swerving down and back up the track none of that happens.

Kenseth clearly had "last lap of the 500" syndrome and he wanted that win
 
Its almost like NASCAR has put plate racing back in the hands of the driver and it takes... wait for it... talent to win one of these things :eek:

Imagine that.

Holy crap! What a view Parker had sliding thru the tri-oval. A lot of teams that really can't afford a bunch of torn up racecars before the duels even happen.


They really need to put tarps over the first 15-20 rows at plate tracks IMO. People can't see around the whole track from there to begin with. Unfortunately that also would mean eliminating the cheap seats.
 
Wow! Sounds like they won't have a backup after the duels.. Hell even before .

Wait, was that directed at me? If so, I don't understand what you're talking about.
I didn't think it was Joeys fault and I was only casually referencing something someone else posted.
I used to wonder why certain posters seemed to hate others when I joined the board but as time has gone by, I understand. Everybody likes to be an a**hole to everybody else - and usually for very little reason. Jeez.
Let's lighten up.

Speak no remote ill of the great Joseph T. Logano, Duke of Middletown, King of Penske Racing, and protector of the realm, lest ye be judged by Sliced.

Seriously though, don't let a few negative experience with other members taint your vision of the entire board. Most everybody here is pretty nice, even if we do appear to be assholes ;)

Practice is serious bizniz
 
Maybe Kenseths spotter is pissed at him for some reason, that would be a great excuse for driving like he is blind. Of course he could really be blind :idunno:

Lol Nooo not at all I was only saying that what I said was a response to what you said... In response to Gordonite saying "its all about Joey"... just pointing out that what I said for him to say that was a response to you...
