WHY worry about projected point totals BEFORE the race is over?WHY when Blaney ran second and third, worth 16 points total did he not gain anything over KB who was outside the top 10 in both heats.????????
is that anything like counting your chickens before they hatch?WHY worry about projected point totals BEFORE the race is over?
Yes, we had the same question. Hopefully someone here can educate us. We have only been a NASCAR fan for 40 plus years so we are still learning.WHY when Blaney ran second and third, worth 16 points total did he not gain anything over KB who was outside the top 10 in both heats.????????
So it isn't just me. I guess the smart answers were from people who know everything.Yes, we had the same question. Hopefully someone here can educate us. We have only been a NASCAR fan for 40 plus years so we are still learning.
Finished the book before the race last Sunday. This is not just a book for a race fan.About 1/2 way thru the book. It is scary to read what symptoms Dale was experiencing and feeling.
More like counting your chickens before the hen and rooster have met on eHenHouse or Farmers' Animals Only.is that anything like counting your chickens before they hatch?

I am old fashion so I figured if a guy is 2 points ahead of me and I get 15 points and he gets none, I would assume I am in front of him.
Looks like Blaney picked up 47 total points at Kansas, while Kurt Busch picked up 19 total. I don't know how many points Kurt was ahead of Ryan before the race but I'm guessing it was more than (47 - 19 =) 28.WHY when Blaney ran second and third, worth 16 points total did he not gain anything over KB who was outside the top 10 in both heats.????????
What the hell is going on with him and engines?WHAT?!!

I think he has clutch problems. Instead of hitting the brake, he hits the clutch with the engine at full song.What the hell is going on with him and engines?
That would do it alright.I think he has clutch problems. Instead of hitting the brake, he hits the clutch with the engine at full song.
I kinda wonder the same thing, if McMurray didn't blow one up also I would really be wondering. The team has the data though on what happened, hasn't affected the rest of the Hendrick cars so far.What the hell is going on with him and engines?
yeah that or miss a shift.I think he has clutch problems. Instead of hitting the brake, he hits the clutch with the engine at full song.
I really liked it when a driver had to know how to treat his engine to make it to the end and still drive balls to the wall and win. It made it a little more exciting wondering who was going to blow up next.I kinda wonder the same thing, if McMurray didn't blow one up also I would really be wondering.

Especially in the 600 --- it was always a little tense as to whose engine would give up in that last 100 miles.I really liked it when a driver had to know how to treat his engine to make it to the end and still drive balls to the wall and win.

Exactly. Fingernail biting time.Especially in the 600 --- it was always a little tense as to whose engine would give up in that last 100 miles.
Seat-to-wheel connector?Anywho he said a part failed
Someone else can figure those stats out. I'll stick to my crash stats.It's something going thru racing data in the 80's how many cars had engine or rear end, or trans in the DNF column. They would probably have to race a 1000 miles to have those failure numbers now I would guess.
do you mean the number of crashes?I've completed them to this point up to the 1992 season and boy did the numbers jump when they started recording what all the cautions were for.
Yeah racing reference only has the caution reasons for every race starting in the 90s. So before that I have to just count crashed out of the race or if it's a famous enough crash that Infeel comfortable assigning it to someone without evidence.do you mean the number of crashes?
Some races before 1990s has the cars involved in a caution but not all. It's basically none in the 1950s to 1970s. From there bigger races like Daytona or Darlington has them, and then through the 80s you get more and more. It's why the 1949 season I recorded 11 crashes, and 2016 recorded 481.before that means before 1990? and after 1990 it names names right?
Yeah lol, I read the comments a lot and people will be like Lee Petty rolled over and kept going...like there is no way to confirm that actually happened, so that's why Inhave the disclaimer that they are as accurate numbers as I can get with the resources I have.yeah 1949 would have tons more than that. Maybe the 11 was for cars that went airborne off of the track and couldn't make it back. lol
And here I thought they took that track off the schedule.Talladega SuperspeedwayVerified account @TalladegaSuperS 9m9 minutes ago
Infielders! No more waiting at Gate 9 for track activity to end. The new tunnel is scheduled to be ready for our spring 2019 #GEICO500 race week! #TransformationTSS

I'll bet they don't have it on the left side either, or on any of the Mountain Dew schemes.Noticed while watching Radio Active , Chase's car didnt have the Monster Energy Cup decal on the passenger side. All the other HMS cars had it on the right side.
