Daytona 500 Pole Day

[StandOnIt]

Now what?

 

[Blaze]

Reed was blocking with an already damaged car.

But when Clint sent around he came up into Reed.

 

[Naitch]

Looked 100% Clint to me, but maybe that's just the view to me, either way I don't see what Reed did wrong.

He had damage that was slowing his car down, he was holding up half of the qualifiers. He was 22nd out of 25 cars.

 

[Blaze]

It was before that as well, they stacked up in an accordion and Clint hit the back of Reed.

Clint was probably real irritated because he was trying to get around Reed for a while because Reed with the damage was slowing that second group down.

But the first thing surely isn't Reed's fault, it started in front of him.

 

[StandOnIt]

oh crap cars in the grass, going to have to have a new rule for that now.

 

[StandOnIt]

Wow. That really kinda pisses me off - and I have generally liked the new qualifying format - just not for the RP tracks.
What a mess.

I'm sure there are people loving all the wrecked cars.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Bowyer's gonna get penalized for that.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

But the first thing surely isn't Reed's fault, it started in front of him.

True, but he should have gotten out of the way when he saw he couldn't keep up.

 

[Blaze]

He had damage that was slowing his car down, he was holding up half of the qualifiers. He was 22nd out of 25 cars.

So that excuses Clint just coming up and hitting Reed? Had he not did that no wreck.

 

[Racer1930]

When they leave the pit it's kinda like high bank bike racing...everybody is almost stopped - then off they go!

What will NASCAR think of next?

 

[Kiante]

But the first thing surely isn't Reed's fault, it started in front of him.

IMO blame this setup of the session. Jam sessions work for open-wheel cars on courses with space, but with NASCAR, not so much. I understand, but they were already bumping and shoving in the pits.

Creating more synthetic drama.

 

[Naitch]

True, but he should have gotten out of the way when he saw he couldn't keep up.

Exactly, it sucks that Sorenson had damage but he wasn't fast enough to keep up and should've gotten out of the way. All 49 cars are in the Duels.

 

[Blaze]

True, but he should have gotten out of the way when he saw he couldn't keep up.

Is Reed one who is safe no matter what? If he has to either get in on speed or by racing his way in can't really fault the guy it's the Daytona 500 for crying out loud.

 

[JBone88]

The Duels are going to be pointless. All the small single car teams will have already withdrawn from the 500 for wrecking their cars on Pole Day. This is ridiculous.

need some of them to fly but not to hit any fans..Brian starts drooling when that happens.

I can agree with this that the format is stupid.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Clint's also gonna get fined for that.

 

[StandOnIt]

Bingo Clint

 

[Racer1930]

Hahaha! Tell us what you really think Clint!

 

[slash14]

clint it going off right now

 

[Kiante]

Clint with the truth.

I agree with him 110%.

 

[Blaze]

Clint might be getting himself a fine, blasted the hell of NASCAR.

 

[Zerkfitting]

Bowyer is right

 

[ToyYoda]

Couldn't agree with Clint more on this qualifying format. NASCAR ain't gonna like what he said though.

 

[blanston]

Holy ****, Clint! Every word he said is true.

 

[pudge]

Clint hasn't been the same since SpinGate, IMO

 

[pjmolo]

Clint Bowyer: BRAVO !!!!

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Well said Clint Bowyer! Is NASCAR listening? Probably not.

 

[JBone88]

Get em Clint!! **** Brian France and **** NASCAR

 

[Fordracing7]

True statment Bowyer here comes the fine

 

[Kiante]

Clint hasn't been the same since SpinGate, IMO

Would be better if he just left MWR. He's a very good driver.

 

[*WEAVER*]

This is so stupid lol

 

[Naitch]

That was pointless

 

[Racer1930]

This is a Hoot!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Well said Clint Bowyer! Is NASCAR listening? Probably not.

Hope Bowyer's got his checkbook ready. That rant's going to be expensive.

 

[Zerkfitting]

NASCAR has had some good ideas over the years but this qualifying one is a bad one.

 

[pudge]

Would be better if he just left MWR. He's a very good driver.

i agree, maybe a new start can help

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I like the qualifying for speedways and road courses, but it's pointless and stupid for Daytona and Talladega

 

[pjmolo]

Is it too late to reinstate the old qualifying format before this thing just moves towards total self destruction ?

Brian France is probably curled up in a ball somewhere.

 

[Racer1930]

They should play no-limit poker for the pole next year...that would be more fun to watch
