NASCAR by the Numbers 2020: Penalties

P
buildingspeed.org buildingspeed.org

Penalties can make or break a driver’s race — or season — so here’s a look at all the penalties assessed in 2020, who got them and when. We’ll investigate all three types of penalties: pre-race (aka ‘to the back’), in-race and post-race. I have not included disciplinary penalties in this analysis.

Boy, did Denny really cut back on the speeding penalties this year.

yeah I was blown away by Harvick's stat. None and his crew made a total of one. One away from a perfect season. When you look at how complicated a Nascar pit stop is it blows your mind. Bowman didn't make any mistakes either but his pit crew made that up in spades. I think Hendrick's weakness is their pit crews.
 
My brain is to slow on absorption so it takes awhile for these things to sink in. That said the biggest mistakes IMO this year were Brad's pit crew for the championship. Any other time you have time to overcome but not in this 1 race championships.

Get them while you can, but continue to stay safe. I was blessed enough to attend the Weathertech 240 this year, so just if anyone attends we know the risks associated with it right now.

I didn't have anyone within 30 feet of me at the Roval.

Signed up to get notified when/if tickets become available for the 500 or speedweeks. This will be a great time to attend a race without the crowds.
 
In NASCAR, examples include Richard Childress Racing. The team is headquartered near the Triad and landed a loan for $6.3 million.

Teams, with loan amounts in parentheses, include Chip Ganassi Racing ($3.96 million); Roush Fenway Racing ($3.5 million); team supplier Roush Yates Engines ($3.2 million); Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports ($1.3 million); Kyle Busch Motorsports ($931,983); and Richard Petty Motorsports ($747,079). Richard Petty’s team is located in Lexington, the others are in Concord and Mooresville.

 
Don't see how people can enjoy watching follow the leader waiting for a mistake to happen. Think I will stay with RC and ST

They're on the schedule. They award points and determine standings, both for drivers and in fantasy leagues. They're better than a Hallmark Christmas movie.

But I'll never enjoy them, not with NASCAR's apparent goal of keeping the cars in a big pack. I don't know what they look like when they're not jammed together; that was gone before I started watching. I'd probably enjoy it more, but we're not likely to find out.

The largest wreck in Nascar history was at Daytona in 1960 37 cars, so I don't know when they haven't been jammed together either. :idunno:
 
Gosh I already miss NASCAR, today is one of those days I wish a race was on. Might jump on the YouTube and see what’s on there. For some reason I’m wanting to watch one of the races from Suzuka from the mid 90’s
