Because that simply isn't exciting enough, JEB. Why would anyone in their right mind want to see a championship decided in such a boring, antiquated, legitimate fashion when they can watch the amazing, cutting edge, awe-inspiring spectacle that will be the Homestead Bowl? Four drivers, one race...one trophy! *salivates profusely*
He doesn't even realize that he was robbed, and that's the most tragic part of it all. Poor little guy.
The TV ratings and attendance aren't where they should be, so the 2015 Chase will incorporate a fan vote, an immunity idol, three lifelines, and a Showcase Showdown.
The Championship never mattered too much to me. I always have gone race by race. I love watching a good win and to get a Championship you needed to be consistant, points race and also be lucky.
You can afford to be more lucky than good when it comes to winning races. Not so when it comes to championships.
That was more of an indictment of Cup regulars with Cup teams infiltrating the series. Austin and Sam would've had a lot more than one combined win if it weren't for them.
Over 36 races a certain amount of luck is absolutely needed but I see your point. Thos guys you mention just need a bit MORE luck.
It just made him look pretty pathetic to me today but thats JMO and I know you have yours.
Nope not me, I like the raicing this year it seems to be better, with the exception of the plate tracks. That being said, I still think a championship should be awarded by points throughout the year and by incorporating more points for a win. A champion should be based on how good you ran all year not just by winning a couple of races to insure you get into the "chase". IMO Homstead is going to be a Cluster F, but I'm sure there will be a lot of people who love it.
Hmmm, how about fixing the cars so they can actually race on a plate track???!!
The driver has to engage first.Hmmm, how about fixing the cars so they can actually race on a plate track???!!
Not sure I get the entire meaning here, but if you are saying it is driver error when they are 4 wide and 3 wide, I'd have to disagree. The cars need to be made to handle better in dirty air, they need the full rear spoiler.
Sorry I was refering to Junior hanging around the rear trying to avoid a wreck. I understand his reasoning but if your scared to race maybe you should just hang em up.
I think he had more to lose than to gain by trying to race to the front.
maybe he just doesn't care anymore.
There is a big difference between being scared and being smart. If he would have been further up towards the front then he would have gave it 100%, but, I think he made a smart move. He didn't feel that he had a chance for a very good finish and he figured he would just end up in a big wreck, so he chose to take care of his car so he could race it in Daytona.
Maybe, but I don't buy it.
No Chance for a very good finish? He ran up front for most of the day
I was talking about towards the end of the race when he wasn't up front he was running between 23rd and 33rd. He was doing good until the pit stop cost him 15 spots. It looks like he made the right decision because he would have probably been right in the middle of a crash.No Chance for a very good finish? He ran up front for most of the day
Save his car for Daytona? How about 'Dega chase race. He'll probably pull the same ride around in the back bs at the coke zero 400 as well. All of the winners probably will. 100% in not giving a ****
I agree. I think if you were not up towards the front with 20 laps left then you didn't have much of a shot. The cars were three and four wide a lot and there just wasn't anywhere to go if you were in the back of the lines. Plus, everytime they got up to speed then someone would crash and slow everyone back down. They had a crash around lap14, 6, and the final lap.
Yes, he has a win and is a lock for the chase, so why should he try to get the best Finnish possible.
Once you have a win these races don't matter. It's only the final 10 races that matter so why bother making an effort until then.
I understand that Jr said he was worried about his head injury so he decided to hang back. He could do that because he's locked into the chase. He didn't have to try to get the best finish he could possibly get. With 'win and you're in' there is no incentive to try to get the best finish each race after you have a win.
Wish I had known he was going to run the race out riding in the back before I picked him in the race game.
