2015 Atlanta - QuikTrip Folds of Honor 500 - Pre Race Thread

Johali · Feb 27, 2015

Read back through this thread a page or two. The happy ones are blaming the other teams and not where the blame really belongs "Nascar" because their drivers made it out to qualify. Nascar screwed the pooch on this one.

22 and 4 finished 1-2 in the 500....now start 1-2 at Atlanta...

...and if not for a bad pit stop probably would have finished 1-2 in the standings last season. Seems like we might see these two racing each other a lot...

You're so bland and naive.

It's not as simple as that.

Goodbye, I'm done with you.

it is. The rules say you have to pass inspection. They had a chance its on the crew chief.

Hendrick Motorsports @TeamHendrick Qualifying results: @DaleJr (9th), @kaseykahne (10th), @JeffGordonWeb (37th), @JimmieJohnson (39th).

Rules are Rules....you cant be making up rules every other day...If my driver was screwed Id be hoping mad at the CC.

It'll be interesting to see those guys work their way up through the field on race day.

ladyspartan16 · Feb 28, 2015

Worst part was I had a **** day at work and the only thing that got me through was knowing there was qualifying tonight....and instead of qualifying we got that trash.

Reck is right on this one. Tech screwed up somewhere and It's easy to blame it on the teams. They couldn't extend qualifying because FS1 had to put the world famous UFC on for It's 12 fans.

dpkimmel2001 · Feb 28, 2015

Kevin Harvick says corner speeds are up more than 11 mph with the new lower horespower/downforce rules for 2015.

There are absoultes here. They had time. They failed 1st inspection. They did not make it out for lap.

@nascarcasm

February 27, 2015 will be forever remembered in #NASCAR history books as "WTFriday."

So its a conspiracy? Not really buying it.

C'mon guy. Remember when 31 different cars across both Cup and Nationwide failed inspection at Daytona in 2013 and NASCAR confiscated their roof spacers? When they later came out and said there wouldn't be any penalties since it didn't affect safety and functionality or improve performance?

It really doesn't matter how many times you say it..... People have their minds made up that this is entirely NASCAR's fault. You're not going to do anything to change that.

HALF THE FIELD FAILED FIRST INSPECTION.

Stop acting like this was 1 or 2 teams that failed first inspection then missed qualifying.

NASCAR decided to cut an hour of time off inspection and it showed.

Congrats though, Danica gets to start 18th instead of 30th. That probably means she won't go a lap down until lap 50 of the race instead of immediately.

dpkimmel2001 · Feb 28, 2015

Kevin Harvick on so many cars not thru tech: "I was just happy that mine was out there.”

Reck · Feb 28, 2015

Why are people even quoting and arguing the point with this guy?

Has shown he knows little to nothing about how this sport works. Dont waste your time.

ladyspartan16 · Feb 28, 2015

39TH??!?!?

Lets find out what failed and why. But the rules exist...

Zeck · Feb 28, 2015

First weekend with new rules package, there's going to be a lot of inspection problems for the teams, seems NASCAR is everyone's favorite scapegoat

Yes.

But rules are rules.

And they can only be changed when NASCAR decides to change them.....then change them back the next day.

I have an opinion. Just like you do. Its different.

Mike Wallace said NASCAR shut the laser screen off for the last five or six cars. One that got thru bc of that sent him home, he said.

You gotta be naive to think NASCAR screwing something up is rare. They do it on a regular basis.

Do yourself a favor and stop quoting me. Dont need to be getting bother with your notification posts.

Great, so NASCAR tries to get these cars through inspection faster and they'll be found at fault for that too. 3, 2, 1
