Cup RACE thread --- Kansas

I cannot 'Like' this often enough. What an asinine question? "How's it feel having your guts ripped out?"

Same thing happened when Gordon Hayward broke his ankle.

Someone asked Kyrie "how much of a shock was it". He goes, "come on man..come on"

Right, one the most dumbest questions asked , how the hell do you think it feels, that is like nails on the chalkboard for me

 

[FLRacingFan]

This playoff format still sucks. What a development.

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah I am sure we will hear about what failed. but damn. like Johnson years ago with a rear end seal, this ain't right, you can't continue to take a crap on the seasons performance IMO

 

[ChexOrWrex]

But playoff points!!

"We cant have drivers winning the championship before the season ends"

But losing the championship is OK!

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

#20 picks up 5 spots.

This playoff format still sucks. What a development.

Final 10 races , I refuse to call it the playoffs, this auto racing, not stick and two balls sports.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is that per NASCAR?
Announcers not telling us much!
Was it announced at the drivers meeting?

The first statement is announced every week and is in the rules. The announcers said the second part and implied the third.

 

[Reck]

Yeah no, it was internal engine problems, nothing that those evil electronics did

Heard the guys talk about a fuel pump so I figured that's where it started.

 

[StandOnIt]

Ky Bu isn't playing into the booths drama..good for him

 

[jaqua19]

I personally liked the original chase format best. It still rewarded consistency, just over 10 races

the evil part was not aimed at you

That's been so many changes ago that I forget about it.

 

[LARRY]

Oh didn't seem they said much about.
Just glazed over it.

 

[Kiante]

Larson fans have every reason to be upset and I'm pissed for them.

Next best car all season out of the chase because of one mistake.

 

[StandOnIt]

every since they started the playoff stuff or whatever it is called after Kenseth did his thing, there has been trouble with it whatever form they have had

 

[FLRacingFan]

There are still people here that try to spin that the regular season races still matter a ton. Pretty obvious that they're dwarfed by the significance of these final ten races.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Oh didn't seem they said much about.
Just glazed over it.

The best we can hope for is that they clarify it at the M'ville meeting.

To me, you need to "play" something to have "playoffs".
I've never heard anyone say "yeah, I drove a great game out there today" after a race is over.

 

[jws926]

So NASCAR doing what they do best, making up new rules as the year goes on.

To me, participants don't keep participating when they're eliminated from playoffs.

 

[jaqua19]

wtf those stage points aren't live..oh there we go

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

To me, participants don't keep participating when they're eliminated from playoffs.

And that too.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Oh didn't seem they said much about.
Just glazed over it.

Right after it happened, they explained and even got it direct from NASCAR.

 

[DSquad48]

So stupid for NBC to show "real points" 1/3 of the way through the race...so misleading to people who don't understand the idiotic system

 

[StandOnIt]

So NASCAR doing what they do best, making up new rules as the year goes on.

Kansas has a huge apron that is a short cut on restarts.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I feel for Larson. First time I ever heard of "limp mode" for an engine.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The real tragedy is that we're going to have to hear about the white line on restarts for the rest of the week.

 

[StandOnIt]

I feel for Larson. First time I ever heard of "limp mode" for an engine.

diesel trucks do it is where I know it from.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

"NASCAR doesnt have a complicated points system"

*Shows 2 different live points results

 

[Kiante]

Great save by Almirola, Jones got him sideways in the tri-oval and still saved it.

 

[jws926]

Kansas has a huge apron that is a short cut on restarts.

Right, but now it matters all the sudden, just seems odd ya know.

 

[jws926]

Oh wow MTJ problems

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Oooooo-kay.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

WOW --- 78 smacked it good.

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

#78 car having a nervous breakdown.

 

[Pat]

Troubles for the 78!!

Oh wait, doesn't matter.

 

[jws926]

damnit Rick, knock that crap out

 

[Kiante]

Mo Chase implica... Oh he won, damn.

Running consistent strong races in the first 26 races is not awarded as strong as running poorly somewhere in the final 10 is punished.
