Doesn't mean they are Iconic, if nascar really wanted to make this a pony war they would make the cars look like ther real thing.

Or as they looked in the 60's. :D
Just remember under Nascar rules the car from the windshield to the rear is all Nascar.
 
They represent iconic models....

I agree they resemble the “icon” in decals only but that’s been NASCAR models since the 80’s. Just glad they are racing models that are supposed to be on the sporty side..
 
Ford unveils 'badass' Mustang for 2019 NASCAR Cup Series

It's the first time Ford's iconic sports car will be used in the Cup series.
“To put the performance behind the car is important, but also to keep the styling from the street car,” Logano said during a livestreamed unveiling of the car on Thursday. “To put on the racetrack and keep the cars looking the same and keeping that badass look that the Mustang has, it’s exciting. I can’t wait to drive a Mustang on the race track.”

I always wonder what motivates a person who never finds anything good about anything, goes out of their way to flame when others find and and post something significant to bring to the forum. they never do that for the most part. What good are they in helping what they are complaining about. This is the first photos on the new Mustang sitting in a race shop, number 1. I bet there are a few somebodies that have their eyes on it in the future for investment purposes after it is retired. ya think?

You keep on saying this, how am I flaming by saying the Badge is the only thing Iconic? How am I flaming when I say Nascar is in trouble and has made many mistakes in the last 10 years? That opinion, by the way is shared by many here, so I'd like to know how by me sharing an opinion that many agree with is flaming? I'll wait for your convoluted explanation.:rolleyes:

Well, I obviously don't, but I acknowledge I'm not the market for this class of vehicles.

And no slam here, many haven't been following the history of the Mustang as it has been involved continually in racing since 1965. To some it is just a blue car with Mustang on it. To others it carries on the tradition. Bringing it into the Nascar series is a good move.
They have been racing it in the continental tire series for years.

Yeh no kidding....and that is a Mustang, not a pretend one which will be in Nascar. Fans see through this sham, it's just badge, in that series it actually means something, it's really a Mustang

I'm not sure what you think I'm spinning. I agree with you regarding the 'iconicness' of this stock car, remember? :rolleyes:

I'm not sure, you seem to agree with Standonit more than I do for sure, maybe I'm wrong, but you seem to be more forgiving of Nascar's direction than I am.
 
Why can't we confine such argumentative drivel to the Deathbed thread, or better yet, to the Podium? There is no reason to pollute every thread with the same old rants.

How about we have a podium version of NASCAR chat so we can really say what we think. No politics, just Nascar?

I can agree with a poster on one issue and disagree with him or her on another. I don't take this place seriously and take very few comments personally. I don't actually know anyone here; why let their opinions get to me?

If I seem more forgiving of NASCAR's direction, it's because there's little I can do to affect it. I may vote with my wallet eventually, or I may not. It's just sports :eek:

I get that, makes a lot of sense, but I guess I'm just a little more passionate about it than you and happen to detest people who put their heads in the sand and apologize for just about everything NASCAR does. Not directed at you by the way.

Negative talk and the constant repetition of negativity does no one any good and actually ruins
the joy of browsing through the comments.
Some days I come here read a bit of the garbage and ask myself why come here?
Like other forums I have visited, I guess I will just quit and look for another where people actually like the sport and get to enjoy their posts.
 
*sweeps the thread clean of all the cow manure*

Take it to the podium, folks...
 
good deal, I was reading along about Mclaughlin. He had an 11 point lead going in to the final race, and he put it on the pole and finished it off. Cool Penske wins the Supercar title.
 
^ Mainly, I'm just glad Triple 8 didn't win it after blatantly violating the rules that prohibit team orders to manipulate race outcomes.

He wants to do an Xfinity road race and I think Roger told him to win the title first. Well, mission accomplished. He loved doing that demo run in Logano’s car at Gold Coast not too long ago.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Somewhat overshadowed by the stifling scrutiny of NASCAR’s new rules package was another Team Penske victory. Joey Logano held off teammate Brad Keselowski’s last-lap push to win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — the fourth victory for a Roger Penske car in seven days.

Keselowski and Logano drove Ford’s new Mustang to consecutive Cup victories the last two weeks, while in Australia reigning Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin swept the weekend in the debut of that new version of the Mustang.

It’s quite a start for Penske, who last month was inducted into NASCAR’s Hall of Fame, feted at the Royal Automobile Club in London and celebrated his 82nd birthday. Penske in January hunkered down for the entire Rolex 24 at Daytona, where one of his two Acura entries pulled out a third-place finish.

Probably just my ignorance again but other than that billboard on the back, I don't see any difference between it and the #22 behind it.

Take a look at the tail lights of the yellow 22 car. They are not mustang and I believe that is a 2018 car all dressed up.
 
Posted the trailer to this seasons Penske Games in the random thread and not sure if any Penske fans are aware of them but they actually raced some cars on this episode.

As much as I hate to admit it, Joey is the complete package. He is fast, can be a dick, is someone you had better watch when he is on your bumper, and competitively unpredictable. He would fit in great at JGR........Wait. ;)

He was too good for TRD and had to leave.

Their cap is at
B+ drivers (Reddick). He’s at least a solid A-
 
Blaney is pretty funny. I don’t think he’s ever going to win an Emmy but he was a great cameo on that painfully bad Kevin James show a year ago. He and Logano will both be good long term in the booth.
 
It looks like super trucker Logano could be coming down a highway near you sometime in the future. Actually, I think this is pretty cool that he wants to drive the hauler to the track. but he can't be bump drafting the other truckers.:D
