Play off, or is it “playoff,” points playing into a championship.

Ahhhhh…. A real champion of real racing.

A great stat of affairs.

Wear sunblock kids. I've spent the morning on a table having Basal Cell Carcinoma cut out of my shoulder.

How does one acquire playoff points? I thought I knew.... but I don't.

Been there, done that. And have multiple scars to prove it.

Stage #1 winner = 1 bonus point
Stage #2 winner = 1 bonus point
Stage #3 winner = 5 bonus points (exception Charlotte - Coke 600)

The sum of those points are carried throughout the Chase, err, playoffs.

Ah. Stage points however, are not.

Yikes! I can't like that post.

Nope, those are just added to the regular points, which could help in the standings of the non-winners to make the final Chase, err, playoff field of drivers..

Well these kids better start learning how to restart and whatnot so they're in a better spot when the Chase, err Playoffs start.

I miss his Morning Drive rants. Gone but certainly not forgotten.

I was coming in here to post a link to the same article. Pretty cool. I know it may take a while, but I hope to see Dr. Jerry Punch in the NASCAR HOF.

HMS GM Doug Duchardt leaving...

http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/06/06/general-manager-doug-duchardt-leaving-hendrick-motorsports/

General manager Doug Duchardt will leave Hendrick Motorsports at the end of the month, the team announced Tuesday.
In a release, Duchardt, who has been with the team for more than 12 years, said he “felt this is the right time in my life to pursue other goals. It was a difficult decision to make, but I feel this is the right time in my life to pursue other goals.”

Not sure this is even close to being as big of a deal as it is in other sports, but Duchardt was a very visible figure at HMS and has been there for some time, so it's news to HMS fans nonetheless.

Wow. That's pretty big. I'm curious about who they might have in mind to replace him

Said they have no plans to fill the position. Not sure if that's a "for the time being" deal or not though.

 

[R Clarence]

Causes one to question his current value to the organization if they have no plans to replace him.

 

[StandOnIt]

It worked for Childress

It looked as if that garbage truck was doing a qualifying run albeit backwards.

One word... Dodge.

Only sport in the world where the product (racing) was so bad the driver's wanted a car that's harder to drive. And I agree.

No problems here. Cheese is cheese and pasta's pasta. I'm good.

I love Velveeta Shells and Cheese.

I really don't root for any ONE driver. I'm a fan of anyone who straps themselves in and races.
