Cup RACE thread --- Atlanta

I am not going to hammer race control to much on the last lap caution. Literally so many moving parts happening so fast at something like 180 to 190 mph.

Possibly. Even his attitude about it. It's like arrogance (like young KB for example), but it's not. It's almost like he has a fire burning inside him

the kid is being crucified trying to win!

let him get his first win then maybe say hey, you know you're driving a Hendrick Chevy, you don't pass a Hendrick Chevy, you push a Hendrick Chevy to VL!!
 
If cautions end races and the field is set when the caution comes out, then the natural consequence of this is that NASCAR can choose to have a caution during a competitive race like this when it desires which means it may put the screws to one guy or rewards another or whatever. Ultimately this being a thing is entirely a "problem" of their own making. There's no gun to Jim France's head that tells him he can't end the race under caution and have whoever led the last completed lap get to lead the last one too.

All the discourse about Atlanta (and to a lesser extent anything remaining from this years' Daytona crashfest) ultimately isn't anything NASCAR is concerned about because NASCAR is principally concerned that discourse happens at all regardless of what it is. A million people saying they hate what NASCAR did is still a million people talking about NASCAR that NASCAR wants to show to potential corporate partners.

NASCAR should put a mark on every track, each mark location will be different for each track.
leader passes the mark no matter what happens race to SF line
before the mark throw a caution if needed

Dude, they tried a backstretch 'point of no return' several years ago, although I've forgotten exactly what they called it.

If only they had a predetermined place on the track where the positions of every driver is recorded that was already in use, they could utilize that and not duplicate or make more complex that issue! If only....If only.
 
Awesome. Just heard a clip of Larson saying that he gained respect for Cindric because he reached out over their incident at Atlanta. Like, wait....he put Cindric in the wall, and Cindric reached out....and Larson gained respect for him? Shouldn't Larson reach out, and it be up to Cindric whether or not respect has been earned as a result? Nothing more Chain Gang than that entitled, passive/aggressive ****. Lose the race, drivers apologizing to them, and having to reach out when they are driven like jackasses. I can't stand the culture of Hendrick. I really can't. Have a convicted felon for an owner that goes by a kindergarten teacher's name, and lackeys that spew the cult line.
