Ford Ecoboost 300 everything thread

[StandOnIt]

If Sam had led the most laps and won the race it would be different. The 12 team failed to do so and it was their only shot.
Congrats to Dillon, Childress and the whole team.

Yep hornish said that himself, game of mistakes, had the car too loose, used up all his tires and didn't have anything at the last...that's RACING
The whiners haven't said squat about Baine either, ran on old tires, saved a set for last and he also ran past Hornish.

 

[Kiante]

Its over and done with now...

Oh well, on to 2014. Brad Sweet for 2014?

 

[#17D500winner]

with who? Five more laps doesn't change the outcome of kez winning.

I don't know but I do know that nothing changed under those caution laps. If you're happy with them - cool. I'm not.

 

[racer8]

That's crap, without all the cautions they would have been lapped!

Sorry I should have said with max points it may have been different.

 

[StandOnIt]

Hope tomorrow is as good as the first two were.

 

[TomKat0311]

Sorry I should have said with max points it may have been different.

I will agree with that!

 

[Reck]

Well we each have our own opinion, I'll respect yours but also remember if Gordon ever wins with something like this and hope you'll react the same, I would even if I'm not a fan of Jeff I'll say he earned it, if Sam did better in other races he'd have it.

He did.

1 win, 16 top 5s, 24 top 10s Times finishing ahead of Dillon: (18 of 33)

There it is.

Quit bringing Gordon into this, he has nothing to do with it. Things are just like they are.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Hornish won't be back in the #12 so why not put him in the #22 if they have sponsorship for that car?

Easy... they're not sponsoring Sam lol

 

[#17D500winner]

Kyle larson had the most DNF's (7) of all drivers who started all 33 races in 2013

Blake Koch had 18 DNF's in 28 races started.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Blake Koch had 18 S&P's in 28 races started.

 

[Reck]

Koch, that's a funny one.

Earnhardt's been dead for 13 ****** years. NASCAR just can't let his legacy go.

 

[#17D500winner]

He completed 2636 laps, for whatever that means.

 

[racer8]

Earnhardt's been dead for 13 ******* years. NASCAR just can't let his legacy go.

Show a little respect for the man.

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

Earnhardt's been dead for 13 ******* years. NASCAR just can't let his legacy go.

Why should they??? The 13 years he's been gone reflects about everything that is wrong with NASCAR today.

 

[SuperTex14]

Too soon.

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

Too soon.

I think we may have took his post the wrong way

 

[#17D500winner]

The red flag indicates that the race has been halted. This may happen due to a large accident, inclement weather, track repair (such as damaged catch fencing), or for severe track cleaning (such as the final laps, when NASCAR may clean the entire track to ensure the race can finish under green flag conditions, and to do so with the track clean of oil from engine failure or crashes).

 

[racer8]

I can't help but think that Dale's advice for cup owners and drivers running the lower series would be to help them out not ruin it.
Just my opinion.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Show a little respect for the man.

How's it disrespectful? A championship race was just manipulated and it was all about how the #3 won a championship in NASCAR again.

 

[SuperTex14]

Geez, do we need sarcasm font?

 

[racer8]

You came across as " he's dead and who cares". But I realize you were refering to the interview with Dillon and Childress where Jerry Punch (I think) was really pushing for those 2 to give all the thanks to Earnhardt.

 

[Johali]

Come on Andy, a race with the controversy that tonight's had is what makes you salivate all the way down your chin.

Oh for the love of God.

Childress says he looked to the sky tonight and said, "Ol' pal, we need you" and he (Earnhardt) came through​

Seriously?

Childress should've said he looked up to NASCAR and asked them not to red flag the race.

 

[Mr. Gregory]

Yeah, I was expecting Austin to thank NASCAR for that. No worries - I'm sure Pop-Pop's check will be in the mail soon enough.

Kyle Larson's car fails inspection. Too low in the front #NASCAR

[hawg dawg]

again...even austin felt shame in post race interview.

sam was a class act in his interview !

 

[Smittydoot]

I can smell the bull**** from Homestead all the way up here in Georgia. No red flag. Really. This from an organization that throws cautions for tape outside the groove and Nemecheck almost hitting the wall.

Exactly!!!!

Don't forget that caution last night for what seem to be part of a hose...or something. I agree with you 100% BTW.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Sounds like I missed a cluster****.

What's the TL;DR version?

Wreck w/ like 16 to go.. NASCAR could have red flagged it.. Instead they kept waiving restarts and we got a 5 lap dash. Serious mismanagement and possible conspiracy..... Lol

Thanks. Sounds interesting...honestly can't think of the last time there was a caution period of 10+ laps at a 1.5-mile track.

Yeah. It was weird.

Hell of a race though. Worth it.

 

[BobbyFord]

NASCAR affected the end of the finale event to manipulate a Championship.

 

[Reck]

I'm interested in hearing some radio chatter from the 3 and 12 crew.
