Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

Geez,did you just type that? lol. You need to take 2 more weeks away

Wasn’t it 3 weeks?

 

[chances14]

Hasn't been for a few years now, it just never came up before.

yeah i just looked it up. They removed that rule last year

 

[Charlie Spencer]

bull**** it's the system Charlie, you know this.

Drivers are responsible for what they do in the car. Dating back to 2014 when the playoffs started, how many drivers running p2, within 3 car lengths of the leader coming to the checkered flag ended up wrecking the leader for the win? I would imagine that is a small minority.

Sure. The format puts drivers in a position to make a ****** decision, but at the end of the day, most of the drivers in the field don't make that decision...

And do you really think Austin Dillon doesn't pull that crap in the old chase format, or full season format?

Responsibility falls on one single entity here, that's Austin Dillon.

You misunderstood me. I was not addressing Dillon's actions tonight. I was commenting ONLY on how any driver who makes playoffs is guaranteed no worse than 16th for the year.

Austin Dillon was 32nd in points.

32nd.

Yep. If this doesn’t prove how galactically stupid “win and you’re in” is.

But NASCAR doesn’t care. They and NBC got what they wanted. A highlight to run for the next 5 years. And us talking about the circus.

Ah, that's better. The previous post had only a fixed image.

It’s an image people can hear.

I hope they farted up a cloud.

PlAyOfFs. Ya can't blame the driver, it's the system.

Along with retarded Overtime.

Gotcha My mistake. I'm fired up about what happened

[StandOnIt]

I would expect nothing less from Richard Childress.

 

[jaqua19]

Along with retarded Overtime.

Chill

 

[JBone88]

I now wish Zane Smith would’ve won Nashville. Then we could’ve had the 32nd and 33rd place guys in points in the pLaYoFFs

 

[Clutch]

To me, it's not so much that he gets a slot at someone else's expense. It's that a 32nd place driver is now locked in to finish the season no worse than 16th.

Except without the caution he had raced to the win

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Kenny weighs in

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Along with retarded Overtime.

Remove the word 'retarded' and I'll agree.

 

[StandOnIt]

Yeah I bet you get a whole lot of number one's the next race

 

[SeventyGTX]

Chill

No. Look how many finishes end up in complete mayhem because of it. This race didn't have a single caution until 2 laps to go. In real racing, it would have been over. But Nascar manufactured this drama nonsense.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Sorry, I'm old school and don't mean anything by it. I'll refrain next time.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Too many rounds fired without ear plugs.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This fella isn’t taking tonight well

I am not talking about overtime. I'm talking about the word "retarted". No need to be classless

Matt Weaver once again doing The Lord’s work.

 

[Brentford]

Side note, this is one reason why auto racing will never be an Olympic sport. Heck, if race control were in charge of relays, they’d probably allow you to trip and tackle your competitors.

 

[jaqua19]

I'm really impressed with how Hamlin is handling this.

The USA Mens 4x100 team would still find a way to get themselves DQ'd

 

[HoneyBadger]

Also, RC was on the radio but not in real time?

Bless his heart.

 

[StandOnIt]

Kenny weighs in

I don't always agree with Kenny,but it is hard to argue his points on this.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Bless his heart.

Yeah, I think that's justified.

For the Yankees and west coast people in here, this is southern for **** him.

Like I told Charlie, I'm old school and maybe not so well versed on what is acceptable or not these days. I meant nothing by it and probably should have used a more politically correct term like "ridiculous".

[Jorge De Guzman]

Put it on a shirt!

When a Southerner says, "Bless your heart", he’s not indicating concern for either your spiritual or cardiac health.
