I swear, the 6 and 3 were on the track by themselves woth trucks in front of them for 15 minutes

 

[Hollywood]

This shits worse than the last 60 seconds of a basketball/football game. That Bowyer wreck with 10 to go was like a fuckig hour ago.

 

[Wolfman21]

What takes so long? I dont understand. With less equipment they used to get em back racing in a few laps back in the 90s. Now any wreck of more than 2-3 cars results in a red flag that takes 20 min to clean up. Why?

 

[Iron]

This is the same NASCAR that has "stage cautions" last 8 laps and single car spin last 3.

 

[Wolfman21]

This is also why 3 and 3:30 starts are dumb as shit

 

[JAR201166]

Lol way to hold that caution NASCAR

 

[Hollywood]

lol, nascar totally waited until kahne got to the line to throw the caution. They had enough of this shit too.

 

[Hollywood]

Good for Kasey. He'll need that on his resume for next season.

 

[gilstein21]

Ya they delayed long enough on clean up, then made sure to hold caution. Any other time that flag is out before Hamlin spins

 

[Iron]

It was gonna be pitch black out based on how long it took them to clean up the last wreck.

 

[Wolfman21]

Nascar, lol.

Its almost best to look at nascar as entertainment and not a sport now days. And that sucks

 

[goblue96]

Game 7 EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gilstein21]

Kahnes best restart was that last one though.

 

[Iron]

Carl Long's 66 got a 14th place.

 

[Wolfman21]

Carl Long's 66 got a 14th place.

he was so slow that he missed all the wrecks

 

[Wolfman21]

With kasey winning...alot of solid cars without wins, and one with a win*, butts puckered up

 

[goblue96]

A Dinger win at The Glen will tighten those butts even further.

 

[JAR201166]

Jeffrey gonna come up clutch next week

 

[goblue96]

Junior to NBC next season.

 

[Wolfman21]

Jeff burtons butt puckers as well

 

[Hollywood]

Keselowski renews with Penske
Blaney to the #12 for Penske next season
Apparently Paul Menard to the #21? If so that's a serious downgrade.

So now the 27 is open. I imagine Ty Dillon will take that car.

Apparently, Ford and Petty are working on something to get Bubba Wallace into a 2nd Petty car next season. If I were in charge at Petty, I would do anything to see if we could get those cars built by Penske, or at least team with them somehow a la SHR/Hendrick when they were fielding Chevrolets. A good driver and having Penske build their cars has put the #21 back on the map. That car is a top 5 car almost every week.

 

[Wolfman21]

So the 21 will no longer be motorcraft, it'll be the Menards #21? ew

 

[Hollywood]

That was my first thought too! Fluorescent yellow #21

 

[Hollywood]

 

[goblue96]

Oh hell yeah!

Target withdrawing from all motor sports sponsorship in 2018.

 

[Wolfman21]

oh damn. Kyle Larson, as good as he is, doesn't sell a ton of merch so I'm wondering how difficult it will be for him to find sponsorship?

Big hit for ganassi....Target has been with ganassi for as long as I've been born

Target withdrawing from all motor sports sponsorship in 2018.

I wondered when that was coming. Why pull from Indycar when the sponsorship is so cheap? If ur looking to cut the fat, it would be NASCAR sponsorship.


Here's ur vidya for the day: The 1986 Summer 500 from Pocono. This race was the inspiration for the final Daytona race in Days of Thunder

 

[goblue96]

I was at that race. The camera makes the visibility look a lot better than it was. I had seats with my parents at the start-finish line and you could barely see past pit road.

Pre-full blown AIDS Tim Richmond was a genius behind the wheel.

 

[JAR201166]

God pocono might be my favorite track besides dega

I don't think the Indy cars will ever go back lol

 

[JAR201166]

Well damn they are this year lawd

 

[goblue96]

Indy Car should have never come back after they left in 1989.

 

[JAR201166]

[Rutgers Mike]

[Rutgers Mike]
