Cup RACE thread --- Talladega

[Dr_B_UNC]

Preach Josh!!!!

Wait til he hears they did tow guys to pit stalls

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

How they gonna wreck again with 8 cars left in the field?

The 6 and the 3 are still out there

 

[HoneyBadger]

Steve Letarte is right.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I think we need to break up the mega packs.

Holy crap, common ground.

 

[Efisher131]

Wait til he hears they did tow guys to pit stalls

Now we’re gonna have to hear how Chase is the golden boy and that’s why he got towed back.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I still can figure out what Amigo was thinking there, that had to be a spotter error merging him in there

 

[Naitch]

Would Dale be allowed to do what he did in the 1997 Daytona 500 today?

These wreck rules are too convoluted.

At least DBC will have something to talk about this week.

I think we need to break up the mega packs. Old Daytona was great because the bumps in the track helped to separate the pack.

Cars are identical now. Worst car in the field is .3 second slower than fastest. Knock the banking down!

I'm more pissed that he was highest in the running order besides Cindric and one of the last to get tended to. Now 2 laps down and counting because of it

 

[jaqua19]

Selfishly hope not now. I’m going full Tony Stewart.

Still the greatest interview of all time.

Every question he masterfully answers about being upset about not crashing.

My best buddy and I were teens during Tony's prime, and he was a Stewart fan. Our competitiveness as a fan completely got in the way of appreciating how much of a god Tony Stewart was

 

[StandOnIt]

Steve Letarte is right.

That and a couple of bucks will get him a cup of coffee.

 

[TheJester]

Did Jeff just say that was a record amount of cars in the big one??

 

[Naitch]

Make the cars harder to drive and stop catering to what drivers want. When the cars are hard to drive, the truly talented rise to the top. You also get natural separation.

All they have to do is make the Xfinity car the Cup car. Period. But they never will. They’ll ride this piece of s*** down.

The problem with "tow to garage or to pit road" is the phrase "incidental contact". Who's to judge?
NASCAR needs to clear this up and make sure it's understood by everyone.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Steve Letarte is right.

I gotta get my eyes checked. I'd swear you said Letarte was right.

These wreck rules are too convoluted.

For years folks on here and in other social networks have been complaining about NASCAR making rules up as they go along.
Now they made them as precise as possible and it's also wrong.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Joey’s pushing on speedways is usually a disaster

Oh my sweet summer child…

 

[BobbyFord]

These mob wrecks are why we still tolerate this crap

 

[aunty dive]

Recognize the circumstances and adjust accordingly. It’s the end of the race and everyone is racing more aggressively. A professional race car driver should know that.

3/4 of the field had passed Gilliland before the wrecking started 25 spots in front of him.

What adjustment should he have made?

He don't need no coffee and already talks at light speed.

If NASCAR released their rule book to the public, it would be easier to clear these things up.

 

[StandOnIt]

Nascar is going to pass out 6" lift kits for the next plate race.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Weren't 30 something cars involved in that final lap big one in 2012?

 

[StandOnIt]

It's gerbil B.S. they are as off the wall as some of the fans.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

The only way to make this worse is a 5 win. . Sorry @jaqua19

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Dear god, the 6 and 47 are going to block the $hit out of each other being in the top two spots

 

[HoneyBadger]

 

[Naitch]

3/4 of the field had passed Gilliland before the wrecking started 25 spots in front of him.

Move to the apron. The drivers were affected by the disrupted airflow but didn’t want to lift and we got the result we did.

 

[Brentford]

Could these guys not have pitted and only lost a few positions? I mean, most of the field wtecked and probably went into the pits.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

You also get natural separation.

Not when NASCAR's rules are written with the intent of keeping them in a wad.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

ok, ok, 24 would almost be as bad. . -signed, Bitter 9 Gang

 

[Blaze]

Did Jeff just say that was a record amount of cars in the big one??

Which doesn’t make sense. I swear many many years ago, when they had like really big fields(like even more than 43) there was a 37 car one. Maybe that wasn’t the cup series idk.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

 

[BobbyFord]

Every man for himself starts now.

 

[Naitch]

Not when NASCAR's rules are written with the intent of keeping them in a wad.

Which is a huge problem, the rules should be oriented towards creating the fairest playing field to reward the best team.

 

[StandOnIt]

Shut up gerbs. They are probably going to idle around until the GWC.

 

[Naitch]

13 overtime finishes speaks to the modern tendency to be more aggressive than your talent allows.
