NNS at Mid Ohio RACE thread

Not sure what happened. Larson spun Papis out after the finish.
 
That Picque fellow should stick to Trucks where he's an obscure entity.
 
Larson and Papis were fighting for 4th or 5th on last lap. Papis ended up 4th and Larson ended up 14th and angry.
 
Papis turned Larson and got Dillon in it, Dillon restarted 9th and finished 21st.
 
Ending also shows the importance of the Humpy Wheeler late race caution. Bunching everybody up for the last laps = instant drama. Fair? No. Dramatic? Yep. Angry drivers don't make the best racing but they make good TV.
 
ESPN didn't show them battle the whole last lap. I was pissed then I had to find the 32. Balls man.

What all happened after the checkered flag? I stopped watching..


Congrats AJ btw. Helluva win
 
Mid ohio is a really tight track and since you get no penalty for Spinning a guy unlike racing in Europe so the drivers get reckless for points and a win

Kligerman dumped Ambrose and Larson dumped Papis.
 
One thing that bothers me about Papis is that he thinks he owns the right to spin anybody in this series when he's not even a regular in any of the NASCAR series.

The way he said he spun Larson because he felt like it was pretty ******.

Oh and Max control your kid.
 
I saw Larson spin Papis after the race was over. ESPN briefly showed that.

There were two intentional spin outs, just driving up to the guy in front of them and bumping them out, Larson knew what it was about.

Hey I used to do that when I was 12. :p
 
Missed the race, wish I could have seen it. Did everyone enjoy it? Was it exciting?

Congrats to AJ, I've really started to root for the guy. Yeah he effed up his career last year but what an impressive run again. He's had a great bounce back and while only running a handful of races. He really deserves another shot at a quality ride IMO whether it be in Cup or Nationwide, he's really showcasing his talent and what he can do if given the chance.

If I was Roger Penske, I'd dump Sam Hornish and put AJ in that 12 car and run him in NNS and try to move him up to Cup. I still think AJ can win in Cup just my opinion though.
 
After accusing Elliott Sadler of intentionally dumping the #7 as payback , did they ask him about it after the race?

Dump Hornish? Hornish has found his niche; Nationwide.

He's doing great there. Points leader right now.

I'll eat a big ol plate of crow if he wins the championship but I just don't have any faith in the guy. I think he's topped out and won't amount to anything in Cup and I really feel that the NNS teams goals should not only be to win the title but also to groom people for the next level. Just my 2 cents though :)

I missed the race, was the payback obvious? Their feud is going to cost the both of them in the end.

My sentiments exactly. I didn't care too much for AJ before or during his suspension, but I've been pulling for him since he returned. Everyone loves seeing someone bounce back from adversity, and I am no exception. That's another reason why I wanted to see Hamlin come back strong after his injury despite my dislike for him.

AJ has been quietly proving that he deserves a place in NASCAR. As reck said, I don't think I would dump Hornish, but I wouldn't mind seeing AJ run the 22 full time in Nationwide. There aren't enough quality Cup rides available right now.

These are my thoughts as well.

Just goes to show that if you do what NASCAR tells you to do you will be back racing in no time.

LOL Jeremy Mayfield. Pride can truly ruin a man.

I wouldn't call it payback because all he did was spin him with enough time in the race to recover.I would call it more "not cutting him any slack"

I didn't think it was obvious payback , I don't think the guys in the booth thought it was a big deal , but their "crack research staff" brought up a video of Elliott promising to get him back and make sure he didn't win the championship. Well 'case closed' the story became Elliott obviously dumped him as payback . Maybe it was , maybe it wasn't , least they could have done is try and get a reaction or even a smirk from Elliott after the race . He now stands accused and found guilty without being allowed a defence. It ain't right I tell ya , it ain't RIGHT.

Thanks for the rundown Ted, sounds like they might have just been trying to add fuel to the fire...not entirely surprising. I still think I could come back to haunt them both

They built up how most everybody was mad after the race then it seemed they never tried to interview any of them after the race was over?
 
Congrats to AJ. He seemed super pumped up. and oh yea, Papis is a dick.

Yeah it could have been he just ran into him when they wadded up in front of him. I think Smith was mad at the car in front of him Fellows in the 5 car. I guess it is a possibility, but Sadler and Smith ran nose to tail for a bunch of laps and Smith never tried to dump him.
