That's what I was wondering, they said he had to go to the back after making adjustments following qualifying.
But they gave me the feeling he could still start where he qualified had those changes not been made.
Confusing!!!

They put the engine from the primary to the backup, so did the 31
 
i'm just not going to beat this dead horse. you hold a race, set the rules, and anyone that wants to drive is eligible.

what most are complaining about is due to nascar, sponsors, and track owners looking to maximize dollars every weekend by combining cup and busch events at every track. don't like the buschwackers? there are other non-nascar developmental series you should follow.

yep. i know they aren't on television. but you don't like what's going on now, quit watching and bitching. or at least quit bitching.

lol @ people beating a dead horse for the entire race about Cuppers racing in NW, then all happy for Brad winning.

Looking forward to next weeks beating a dead horse thread. lol

Oh, Brad's my 2nd favorite driver behind Junior and I was unmoved by his victory today. I'd have felt the same way if Junior would have won, too.

And as far as beating a dead horse, I don't normally complain during a race like I did today. Before today, I wasn't 100% behind those who want to see the Cuppers out of the lower tier series, but this boring race kind of exposed things for me. It was all Cuppers all day long, and I knew it would be, but the way they were just steamrolling through the field was ridiculous. It was like watching an endurance race, and the Cuppers were driving LMP1s (Chase and Larson had LMP2s), while the rest of the field was in the GT2 class. Who would enjoy that outside of the absolute biggest homers in existence?

To all those that are tired of hearing it, don't worry. I don't intend to do this in every NNS or Truck thread. I was merely giving my opinion on what I was watching today.
 
Sounds as if Nascar came to their senses and gave up on limiting the cuppers :laugh:

The rumor will start up again the next time Kyle wins in the 54

What's with people quoting what I say on here? I'm flattered you guys think so highly of me. :D

Did you see your boy today after the race? He looked like he wanted to cry on national TV. lol

He wants to win THAT badly, one of the reasons I like him. He probably doesnt like the fact that the 22 had 30 more horsepower than his Toyota

As for the quote ? when you make a well educated comment like that you deserve some credit :D

Any good comments about Kyle is a well educated comment in your book. :D

I did say I wasn't going to be as harsh as I had been in the past. Consider that a step towards my commitment on being nice to Kyle this year.

If he was more calm and easy I'd have no problem with Kyle. I think he's a great talent, just needs to slow down abit.

And what are you going to say about Gordon? Guy's a saint. :lilangel:

#9 was too low in the front. #22 had some issues with a shock.

Looks like them Penske guys never learn. Didn't they get caught with something similar last year at Atlanta I beliebe it was?

Started watching race, decided I needed a nap, then about half way through, was time to go shopping, wondering why I decided to watch the rest of the race, all I can say is, happy the Cup driver that won wasnt Kyle

Panske got caught doing about everything in the books in then some last year.

- #22 Nationwide Series race-winning car too low at September Dover
- #2 Cup car too low at June Dover
- "Oh, please Gilliland, let us pass"
- #2 and #22 Cup cars both with illegal rear end housing at April Texas

But they have so much integrity and are just being targeted by NASCAR. :rolleyes:

Pretty much dead on on all points.

It was the same last week on the NW race thread. At some point it gets ridiculous for people to watch a race that annoys them so much because of the Cup drivers, and complain about it during the entire race on the race thread.
Why bother watching something you don't enjoy?

Besides, it wasn't all bad. There was some good racing towards the end with Larson and Elliott racing with the Cuppers. I know, Larson is a Cup driver now but with very little experience in Cup, so it was cool seeing him up there in the top 3. Also good racing watching Kyle reel Brad in at the end.

But, we want to enjoy it. And maybe we have hope something will be different this time. Or next time. I was so hoping Chase would bust their asses today.

I actually didn't watch most of it. Tuned in early, but when it became apparent it was going to be another Cupfest I turned it off.
 
Mr. Gregory said:
It sounds like you're saying that people that can't beat or run with Cup drivers right this second don't belong in the Nationwide Series. That makes no sense whatsoever. You prove yourself against Cup drivers once you get to the Cup Series. That's supposed to be the top tier, not the Nationwide Series or the Trucks. Otherwise, like Brent was saying, we may as well just have three Cup Series.

We need to band together and liberate Gordon and slicedbread22 from the nascar internment camp they're being held in!

I get that, but the complaining today practically flooded the thread to the point no one could really talk about the actual race.

Maybe next week we should have 2 NW race threads. One so people can actually talk about the race, and another for people to complain about it.
