Kasey Kahne to the rear

Kasey Kahne will have to give up the third starting spot tonight and start at the rear of the field at Bristol because his team had to change one of the tires he qualified on Friday. NASCAR rules this year require Cup drivers to start the race on the tires they use in qualifying.

Does that mean Chase slides to the inside cause that would be sweet

It's a rule on top of rules. With the new qualifying system, teams have to run the same tires they qualify with in the first stage. That is supposed to save money on tires. On the other hand what is going to stop crew chief's popping a tire or two in order to get an advantage. So you have this half assed rule on top of a rule. It's like the lottery, you need luck. Kahne used his up at Indy :idunno: No horseshoe for Kahne.

Some rules need to be changed .... just because Nascar decided to go nuts with the whole qualifying routine means little to me. Hell , they used to run special engines to qualify ..... that practice never disturbed my viewing pleasure !!! Safety first Nascar says ... then they force teams to start a race on old tires :rolleyes:
 
So interesting, my local NBC station has Football, so the race, has been moved over to one of the local independent stations, that is owned by company that also owns the local CBS station :D

These guys need to check the definition of sideways. The most overused phrase with this bunch.

If a car skips out an inch it means the car is sideways. Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip wore the term out

I agree....... all the stupid rules they have now to try to ''save'' money for the teams are a farce..... That rule book HAS to be at least 4 inches thick and all it does is hamstring every team....... Nascar runs it's operations like the Govt...... too many rules and regulations........

Has anyone actually seen the rule book ? I have heard of folks that tried to obtain one but never managed to

That's never made sense to me. Getting to jump to positions from where you qualify.

That's the way it's been since they went to double file restarts. One or more on the inside drops out the inside line moves up, the same for the outside line.

Yeah, I have to agree. I guess they think it will get the half packed stands lathered up in a frenzy.
Its real easy, just drop the green flag!
 
Guessing NBC has no idea they are having audio issues
 
Hotel in WV with no race. Direct TV but no NBC. Any way to stream free? Sorry if this has been covered a million times but I never needed it before.
