Dumbest ending to a race I've ever seen

It's one thing to run off the track if it your choice, but Briscoe didn't have that choice...at least Hamlin paid the price for what he did thanks to Briscoe, he would have got away with another one if it wasn't for Briscoe.

Definitely, and honestly I can understand both sides of it, especially with even Jeff Gordon saying he didn't think should be a penalty for that reason.
At the same times it did look a bit like Briscoe cut a little further left afterwards than he could/should have before coming back onto the track, though the argument could also be made he was avoiding the turtle strip or whatever they call them now to keep from damaging the car or losing control and causing bigger issues for everyone if he went airborne etc like we saw all day in turn 6.

Did the 11 ever touch the 14? No. Did the 14 make a move outside of the 11? Yes. Did the 14 have a chance of getting position on the 11? No. None , nada. 14 then bails and cuts through the grass. Bottom line the 14 put himself in a bad position. I understand why the 14 made the move, it was a season making decision to make the playoffs. Thats pretty much it.

I truly enjoy all of your posts, but sometimes what you write is next level. This is that. Bravo. :beerbang:
 
Soooooo much blather and BS about Hamlin and Briscoe when in the end it was actually Larson who came up on the very short end of the stick.
The rest of this would be glossed over second page NASCAR news if not for the engineering failures by the IMS track team.

Agreed. Larson has been so dominant that when he gets screwed it only means that he is 7 days away from being dominant again. On pole for Michigan....4 days from the agony relenting.

USGA has some SERIOUS pull. That’s why any US Open type event, even the Senior Open is played on NBC. It’s wild but the US Open gets around 6-7 million viewers for the final round

Pete Bevaqua, who is now the head of NBC Sports used to be the CEO of the PGA as well as just about anything else to do with the world of golf. Take a look at his resume below and you will see that just about every other word in it is "golf". There's no way that NASCAR is going to win if push comes to shove between NASCAR and golf these days at NBC.

I sort of see it as the same. Not all trolling is harmful. Some is fun. Long as you aren’t being mean with the trolling it’s all good. So keep it up.

Thank you! While I can be irritating and/or obnoxious (no piling on @StandOnIt ;) ), I have never come here with ill intent and/or to ruin someone's experience.

Yeah sometimes you can be annoying (hell we all can tbh) but you never seem to be mean or anything.

Obviously and certainly not intentional. 👍 :biggrin:

When you race like an ass, expect it to come back to you at some point.
