Meanwhile, what's with Chastain not being on the original entry list with Smithley in the #15 car and then Chastain back on the entry list in the #27 car (replacing Reed Sorenson) with Houff in the #15 car (replacing Smithley).

Mess with my low level fantasy pick why doncha. :confused:

Is Ross running? Like you, I’m interested for bottom tier fantasy reasons.

Sounds like the "who's on first " shtick from Abbott and Costello.

Well let’s get it back on track. With Bad Brads lessons on blocking now learned it’s going to be fun to see how this plays out. I think it’s definitely peaked interest.

Even with (at times) polarizing disagreement on what went down, I’m pretty sure it’s almost unanimous that NASCAR is loving it. They managed to jazz up a plate race.

And who doesn’t now want BK to be leading late with someone on a strong run coming up fast?

We’ll see how wide his car is with 2 laps left if leading. I don’t think it will end well for him.Tony Stewart Jr.

LMAO.

Allmendinger was better than Preece at this juncture, but Preece will improve with more expereince. He's a late bloomer and if the CC change did not happen as late as it did last year, he ('Dinger) would still be driving for JTG. 'Dinger was honestly better most of the year compared to Buescher.

Preece is going to improve though, I have no doubt about it. To think AJ was past it is laughable though, expanding to two cars hurt the organization last year.
 
What I would like to know is Daniel Suarez's reaction and thoughts to the Bad Brad Bump as he was right behind Brad.

I think Blue ovals kind of sucked in practice, three hous and 45 minutes to see where they and the rest qualify.

They expanded in 2016
 
NASCAR and rain are like magnets this year. Unreal how many times it’s happened this year.

Lol. Pretty sure Brad can handle the heat or he wouldn’t have done what he did.

And if the leader can lazily swerve in front of other cars, call it a “block”, and nobody is supposed to pass him for it... then where’s the million dollar decision? Hell, where’s the racing in that mentality? Brad made a decision. He didn’t lift. Pay the man!

Byron made a decision too, tried to pressure the 2 into not passing him. He did his job. Pay that kid too!

Brad never said he’s gonna dump everybody, never said he was gonna hook any quarter panels or drive through cars in front of him. He’s just not going to lift when people that make that “late block” squeeze move... he’s made a decision that’ll make the leader make a decision on the last lap.

That’s racing on these big tracks anymore, it’s all head games.

Personally, i’m loving having something to jaw about before qualifying that doesn’t involve lug but penalties.

Completely agree. Brad haters are going to see and hear what they want. He said he was not lifting on “bad” blocks. And he chose Byron to show everyone.

Yes, in PRACTICE. Everyone has a second chance if they get wadded up. And not the whole pack in THE race. Genius IMO.

Well the Keselowski’s like to dish it, apparently even sending their messages in a practice session.... but they don’t take it very well.

Here’s Bob threatening to put his uniform back on when someone gave brad his own medicine.

A dad after seeing his kid go flying and from initial appearances possibly dying. Any dad would have felt same if a microphone was put in their face after seeing that. Oh yeah, SECOND time he sent Brad flying intentionally.

Second thought, let’s do that. I’m sure we will get some teal visceral reactions we love to make fun of.
 
Not that I care ONE BIT about plate, er spacer qualifying, but I am always amazed at how easily NASCAR gives up on qualifying when the weather doesn't cooperate. Heck, ARCA used to make us sit around for HOURS trying to get qualifying in, even at times when anybody with an IQ higher than a house plant knew it wasn't going to happen. Spent about five hours in a COLD spring rain at Salem one time trying to wait out the weather. It finally stopped raining about sun up the next day.

Let’s just hope bob keeps the uniform in the closet if someone races brad the way he demands it should be.

After his statement, there should not be one car that makes it easy for him in this event. He went out of his way to get this attention. Most likely everyone will cut him all the slack in the world.

He takes a swing at one of the series most low key personalities in a practice session... Do it to harvick or one of the Busch brothers at least
 
The real message: If I get a strong run, l am going to be a bulldozer and accuse you of blocking while they clean up my mess.

The only brilliance is the disingenious nature of my bullsheit. Because everybody knows, myself included that l can't survive for 400 miles racing that way. The reality disqualifies any of my claimed race expectations, with the exception of some insanity during the last few laps. I wouldn't even expect Byron to attempt any form of pay back during saturday nights race.

That's what Martinsville is for.....
Meanwhile Brad still needs an enema.

Genius? Trying to win practice by risking taking out 8-10 cars is genius? Good lord I've heard it all now...
 
The radar looks like there’s a storm to the NNW and it’s not moving much.......anybody know how likely they are to racing tonight?
 
Plate racing and driving out the rear view mirror isn’t racing. I hope whoever plays that blocking crap in the race gets walled.
 
Young pup gets his chain pulled, love it. Seal the yellow line or float the middle... your choice.

I'd agree except that at 'tapered spacer' tracks, it usually ends with the guy ricocheting off the wall and down into the pack.

The “key personality” is one of the people that has caused him to end a good race at the end of the hook. He had his opportunity to demonstrate he means what he says and what better way that to one of the people that did it to him last?

Pre race and again, if there was any damage, everyone gets a redo. Nobody’s race was affected except the dude making a bad block and getting paid back some.

And the guy in the 24 going to the rear in a backup. But it’s a plate “race” so it don’t matter where you start.
