2016 Phoenix - Can-Am 500(k) - Pre Race Thread

Bowman to the #5

I wish.

I'm boycotting the Homestead race because of NASCAR's disgusting playoff format.

My boycott has absolutely nothing to do with the election.

FWIW, the racing should be good

Alright, I was just kidding.

The sanctioning body sent out a tech bulletin pertaining to Section 20.14.2.I-1 Truck Trailing Arms of the Sprint Cup rule book. The bulletin, which pertains to both the Sprint Cup and XFINITY Series reads as follows: "Truck trailing arm mounting slugs may be used to locate the truck trailing arms on the truck trailing arm mounting brackets. If used, truck trailing arm mounting slugs slots must be perpendicular to the slots on the truck trailing arm mounting brackets."

not sure, but I think the rule change has something to do with some kinda truck trailing arm thingy . . .

I thought they parked the trucks in the infield. Gods, it will take forever to get one of those through tech...

Wish they wouldn't flip flop the track but sounds like they are. The uniqueness at Phoenix is cool. Upgrade the garages to what Vegas & Daytona has (fan amenities like that will help/stabilize attendance if you ask me), and move victory lane to the finish line at more tracks.

I'm excited to see how Austin and Happy tangle out there today. Kevin said he reached out to Austin during the week and that the kid didn't respond. When asked about it Austin gave a short answer.

Richard Childress and those boys have such a bone to pick with Harvick all the time. Has RCR won a single race since Kevin left? No. Dude was all that team had and they took him for granted. We'll see how the silver-spoon kid in the 3 car reacts today.

 

[Pat]

Austin better not cause Harvick to lose a spot in the final four. He will make a lot of non-fans.

 

[Rick]

Austin isnt going to do anything

Since I'm boycotting Homestead, this will be the last race of the season for me.

This will likely be my last race of the year too unless something really compelling happens and in that case I will check out Youtube or a replay.

 

[aunty dive]

I, on the other hand, intend to soldier on.

As much as I want to see the race today, the bucks are rutting and the weather is perfect

I feel like Kurt has a win today. I don't know why.
