When your driver isn't in the chase?

It's extremely disappointing when your driver fails to make the Chase, but nothing really changes. You still watch and root for your driver. If my favorite (Gordon) can't win, I root for another HMS or Chevy team, or a small-time underdog if they happen to be running in the top 10. Even if Gordon wrecks or blows an engine on lap 30, I still watch for the racing and pull for certain drivers over others.
 
Ehh I watch for Jimmie, but I watch for other drivers too -- both Busch bros, Almirola, Logano, Harvick, Kez, Jamie Mac, Marcos Ambrose, and others. But if you dont wanna watch its your choice. I am super bummed that Kez is pretty much out of it, but I still am gonna watch the races. Like I said before though its up to you.

There is a silver lining to all this and you can find fulfillment if use the following procedures.

Object : Establish a Hierarchy of Hate.

1 . List the drivers in the 2013 chase in the order of how much you hate them. The biggest scumbags should be at the top of the list, then the next etc.... you should do this until you have eliminated or identified at least 9 of the 12 (the wise ones can list 11).

2. If you cannot come up with eleven naturally, then start looking at who has the most obnoxious fans to finish your list. The kind of people you never want to see celebrating, especially when they and world expects you to congratulate them if their driver wins.

3. Realize that if those near the top of your Hierarchy of Hate should fail, you have dodged the major problem of having to tolerate the happiness of those scumbags, all while your favorite driver didnt even qualify for the chase.

Note: Anytime you do something worthwhile you will encounter the naysayers. There will be some pious perverts claiming they have learnt not to hate, and they will try to convert you into some sweety tootie fruity state of having no feelings. Dont let them ruin your worthy pursit, life is too short for that kind namby pamby misery. When his engine blows up, imagine him and his wife crying in their bed, and his fans crying in bed too and on this forum , and just ENJOY, ENJOY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!
You cant waste an opportunity to enjoy the suffering of the low lifes in your life.
You dont have to tell them that their misery has given you great satisfaction, eternal peace and joy, just thank the Lord that they didnt win either.

Nah that isnt a fair thing to do -- Stewart, Montoya and Hamlin arent in the chase. By no means would I wish injury upon anyone whatsoever, but karma's a bitch ;)

I never ever want to see a driver get hurt. Karma has nothing to do with it for me, it is just wrong.

I don't like seeing driver injuries, but the subsequent reality check Denny's been getting all year has been beautiful to watch unfold.

I agree a reality check is playing out, but I could live without it.
He isnt a favorite of mine but a good driver especially good technical skills on the finesse tracks that are more mechanical throttle control and less aero imo.

I dont care for a lot things he says, but I cant judge him to harshly I say some stupid things myself.
 
What if Denny is never the same? That's what makes me feel bad.. imagine he gets the back procedure but it doesn't help, he's still in pain and next year, he's down in the 20s.. He's too young and too good a driver to have it taken away like that.

And what if JoLo wins the Championship... over both Joe Gibbs chasers in a 3 way battle? I'm sure Denny would hate missing a 3-some like that ;)

It would be sad, but if Denny hadn't turned left so dramatically into JL's quarter panel, he would have been OK. At some point, Denny will have to face the undeniable fact that, no matter what Joey did, he's the one who caused the wreck that got him hurt.

You know what really got him hurt besides the racing incident? The fact that NASCAR STILL HAS NOT installed SAFER barriers around the whole track at every track.

Agreed. As for who caused the incident, its hard to tell -- Joey drifted up into Hamlin, but Hamlin was the one that turned Logano, which in turn got him loose.
 
Well you cant say Brian Francis and Heltons aint reading our threads. They went the extry mile to give us who we hate and like in the 2013 peoples chase (and apologies to who anyone who hates the haters).

2013 Peoples Chase..... That's a great name for it. It certainly sums it up nicely.

After my favorite driver Dale Earnhardt died, I actually stopped watching NASCAR for about 7 years because it just didnt have any meaning to me anymore. But since I have been back in it, I watch and enjoy a lot of drivers. Junior is my current favorite, but I think I just look for good racing and usually pull for veterans or underfundeds to have good days. If its good racing, its a good a race for me. This really isnt answering the question I suppose. If Dale doesnt make the chase I still pull for him, but I have a lot of other drivers I like, so it helps.
