Plate racing WAS awesome when they weren’t locking bumpers

That was before my time.
I once saw a replay of the 2006 fall race finish, I still don't know how Vickers got outta there alive.

Sam Mayer will learn from that. If he doesn’t get so far out coming into the tri oval like he did he probably wins that.

You know what's funny is, I sit here and think man that was the dumbest move by a leader at a SSway I've ever seen. But I remember, I've been watching nascar for longer than Mayer has been alive. So that puts it in perspective for me lol just because I know that pulling out too far is a race losing move, Mayer might not have known that
Sam is still learning. He's still wet behind the ears.

Yeah. It was his first time being there at the end for a chance. Definitely a mistake he’ll learn from.

Damn.
Yeah, he'll definately learn from it. Got to put more trust in his spotter, if thats the case.

I think Kyle Petty said it best. Mayer's move would have won on any short track in the country, but it won't win in an Xfinity Super Speedway race.

You're a sitting duck once you get too far out front, that's just physics
Avoiding to get into such a situation is probably easier said than done though.
This is why Michael Waltrip is able to win a Cup race.

He was good at it, he was there at the end. He also won xfinity and truck races at the plate tracks.
You and I could’ve won a plate race in a DEI car.

Dude needs to go mow some lawns on his Cub Cadet or **** it pushmower like the rest of us.

Idk. He had some decent runs at other tracks. Just never could pull off the wins at the other places.
He went to the same school Ross went to. Drive over your head then apologize and say you gotta be better.
780 races without a win.
4 wins in a DEI plate car.

I don’t believe you read my post. I said he ran good at other tracks. Just couldn’t close the deal. He wasn’t a bad driver by any means. He wasn’t great either. I say a little bit above average.
4 wins in 784 races.
Yes, he sucked.

Agree to disagree. I look at more than just wins. I look at things during races, top 5, top 10s. Then he had good numbers in the Busch Series as well. We just judge drivers different. Plus cars they drive have to factor into it as well. I mean look how long it took for Sterling Marlin to win. Then in 2002 he was a championship favorite til his injury.
