It is really nice seeing that number 20 car back in the winners circle. That kid drove a hard and smart race. Congratulations.

Especially the orange 20, not the yellow one.

Classy interview by Mark.

 

[Jeffrey00]

That was a damn good race. Best one I've seen all year.

 

[MoMike]

Nice to see the 51 finish in one piece.

 

[Joniki]

That interview with Jr was pitiful.

 

[Blaze]

"Can we start over"

I'm a Jr fan but I gotta admit that was pretty damn funny.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Obviously, the car isn't the problem.

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

I don't know why he asked to start over??? The first one was better

 

[Matthew2470]

Good win for Joey.

Still, I bet all you Joey haters will still run your mouths about him needing to be fired.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Obviously, the car isn't the problem.

Kurt just over drives the car and gets in trouble.

 

[StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing]

I felt bad for Junior there. You could see how much he wanted that win in his face. He didn't need to say a thing.

Some of those post race interviews really show that they need to do something with the way they measure pit road speed. The speed limit on pit road should be the speed limit of ALL of pit road, not just a couple segments.

Hey, FYI on Dale Jr TV interview: There was an unruly fan making a commotion nearby and Jr was distracted.

I disagree with Jimmie. The drivers shouldn't have the right to know where all the loops are. Johnson has a known history of speeding on pit road between scoring loops. ESPN caught him several times, a couple years ago, dropping the hammer between the scoring loops and then slamming the brakes back down to 60 mph when he was coming to a loop.

The drivers pushed the limit and got caught. They're already allowed to go 5 mph above the speed limit.

Couldn't they do that accurately from the transponders and telemetry? The timing loops suck and give certain pit boxes an advantage.

Kinda like his mouth.

Yes, especially since NASCAR tells the teams where the scoring loops are. And when they try to do things to address drivers speeding between the loops, idiotic networks like TNT come in and throw up faux outrage over it.

It does no good to speed between the loops. If from loop to loop you get 2.5 seconds, your average speed had better add up to 2.5 seconds. The advantage between the loops comes into play with where your pit box is located within those two loops.

 

[racer8]

They should put numerous loops on every pit road and randomly pick them each race without telling teams. That way if for instance the speed limit is 45 it will force them to do no more than 45 from pit in to pit out.

In today's instance, people were caught speeding at three different scoring loops. It's not like it was just one loop (like TNT said) and quite a few of those drivers were caught speeding on entrance and exit.

 

[racer8]

They sure made it sound like the teams had no idea where the loops were on entrance or exit. Which I would like to see every race.

Unless Samantha Busch is tweeting nude pictures I have no interest in what she has to say.

Dear Samantha Bush



You can be my tweetheart anytime you like, clothes or or no clothes.
Just because I ain't shallow like others.
We can talk about the Titanic and Leonardo DaCatDooDoo, lifetime movies, pop music etc.



I am also very patient on discussing beauty tips, like Mudd facials, bath lotions, Brazilian waxing etc....



We can be like best friends, and learn together that superficial things like clothes just don't matter. It is all about a tweet bond.


Your most respectful tweetest dreamer.....

My annoyance meter is already at max level, from listening to Kenny Wallace for a whole five minutes on raceday

So don't watch it.

Hell, I recommended that 10 months ago, and nobody would listen then, either
