Cup RACE thread --- Kansas

[aunty dive]

Rules are rules.

They are.

Just not here.

Jimmie has had so many incidents like that the last few years in races, practices, and even qualifying

It's the way the set up the car. Always moving around

 

[DSquad48]

If the 48 crashes out, Larson can still make it in

 

[Kiante]

If, this is the last season for Matt Kenseth this is one of the saddest ways to lose it.

Dude has been an incredible driver for his career and I respect him a lot as a driver, seeing his career end at JGR and just seeing just how good he is behind the wheel has been fun to watch. I really hated to see this happen to Matt.

 

[Pat]

I wanted the 48 to beat the 20 but not like that. That's sad.

 

[StandOnIt]

I wonder how that crew member is feeling right now...

hoping someone will hire him?

 

[CodeMan125]

Such a dumb ******* rule .... Matt got royaly F*cked by Nascar

 

[harkin]

Parked for one extra guy.......”to make things more fair”?

 

[DUN24]

Well I guess we need Jimmie to blow up too. Son of a bitch. Sucks for Kenseth and the 20. What a dumb rule.

"Rules are in place for a reason"

Literally no reason based on safety, competition, or logic. It's a rule manufactured out of hot thin air.

 

[ReturnTrip]

Jimmie's reaction

 

[Taco]

Looks like the 77 ran out of talent racing the 24.

 

[aunty dive]

Johnson is magic.

 

[jws926]

The rule may be lame, but it's been in effect since the first of the year and it's the same for everyone.
Someone on the 20 team didn't follow the rule.

And thats what has to make it feel like a kick to the you know what, that someone on the team not paying attention, or not knowing how to count past 6 screwed things up.

 

[StandOnIt]

they got rid of the crash cart at the start of the season. The rule was made then..it is a team sport remember?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The rule may be lame, but it's been in effect since the first of the year and it's the same for everyone.
Someone on the 20 team didn't follow the rule.

Agreed. Under the current rules, Kenseth's penalty is fair.

I'm arguing the rule itself is ridiculous, and shouldn't even exist.

How many crew persons should be allowed?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

No wonder Edwards left the circus.

 

[DSquad48]

 

[TexasRaceLady]

The booth explained how the rule was developed and why.
Had the rule not been enforced, then some would be complaining that Matt was shown favoritism.

 

[FearThe4]

if #48 escapes today he will win #8 at hometead calling it now.

 

[StandOnIt]

there was the problem.

 

[Kiante]

Matt's voice is shaking, he's absolutely infuriated.

 

[Johali]

How many crew persons should be allowed?

Kybu 36, everybody else 6.

 

[CodeMan125]

Honestly if Kenseth does not comeback next year i would not blame him.

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

WTF is Rick Allen talking about? lol

 

[ChexOrWrex]

How many crew persons should be allowed?

6 is fine. The issue isnt the # of crew personnel. The issue is the punishment that doesnt fit the crime. No way thats punitive damages.

 

[lisa]

I have a feeling that someone will pick up matt, next year.

I know you all feel so much better now, at my prediction.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

How many crew persons should be allowed?

That's just it, aunty ---- teams would have as many crew members working on the car on pit road as they could lay hands on.

 

[Pat]

Agreed. Under the current rules, Kenseth's penalty is fair.

I'm arguing the rule itself is ridiculous, and shouldn't even exist.

I don't think the rule is bad. I think the penalty is way too much..

 

[Kiante]

WTF is Rick Allen talking about? lol

Been saying the same thing for the past two years.

 

[DSquad48]

Hopefully Jimmie doesn't wreck himself again

 

[StandOnIt]

Honestly if Kenseth does not comeback next year i would not blame him.

there ya go

 

[Racer1930]

Rules in a Knife Fight?

LOL...I just can't keep up with this stuff

 

[CodeMan125]

if #48 escapes today he will win #8 at hometead calling it now.

That's pretty much what Nascar wants though

 

[FearThe4]

Honestly if Kenseth does not comeback next year i would not blame him.

I would pull a carl and retire screw this horse****.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

The issue is the punishment that doesnt fit the crime.

Then the teams that helped form the rule should have proposed something else.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Matt's voice is shaking, he's absolutely infuriated.

He always talks like that. I always think hes about to break out in tears.

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

Been saying the same thing for the past two years.

LOL

 

[aunty dive]

6 is fine. The issue isnt the # of crew personnel. The issue is the punishment that doesnt fit the crime. No way thats punitive damages.

I won’t disagree with that.

 

[jws926]

That's just it, aunty ---- teams would have as many crew members working on the car on pit road as they could lay hands on.

I think its the penalty for having to many over the wall that has some people here upset, not the rule itself of the number that NASCAR chose
