11th DNF of the season.

 

[Wolfman21]

I wonder what nascar is gonna do to get kyle larson out of the way so the champ 4 can fight for the win?

Im hoping they all wreck each other so the champion is the driver who beats the 5 minute damage clock

 

[gilstein21]

That would be so damn funny

 

[Wolfman21]

Its obvious the 2 is the slowest of the four. Hes a non factor without some wild shit happening...which i wouldnt put past Paul wolfe.

 

[Wolfman21]

I hope the camaro will be as good as Chevy is expecting. Watching the toyotas dominate is getting really old

 

[Wolfman21]

Guess nascar got in larsons ear...lol

 

[Iron]

No manufacturered cautions but damn that 42 suddenly just slowed like crazy

 

[Wolfman21]

Congrats to toyota. They made a career also ran into a nascar champion

 

[Wolfman21]

I do like truex though. Couldnt have happened to a better guy

 

[Wolfman21]

Junior standing around his car with a cooler of beer drinking with his team, hahaha...love it

Clint Bowyer's spin led to this when it seemed like Martin was getting fucked over at the time. Damn.

Thought that was kurt busch. But yes, without that caution, kyle busch prolly runs away with this race

No, I'm talking about 2013 - Martin lost his ride at MWR because of the Bowyer shit, at the time, it seemed like Truex was the big loser. Clint hasn't won since while Martin has 13.

Woman Arrested for Stalking Tony Stewart

According to the WRTV report, Russell has been harassing Stewart since March 2016, allegedly making 333 calls from six different phone numbers to him, his family members, his company and his sponsors. She also allegedly reported that his plane was transporting narcotics and sent white powder (that turned out to be baking soda) to his attorneys.

Jesus Christ......what a loon

Ray Black Jr., also known as the caution clock, will run for rookie of the year in Cup in the #51 next year.

jesus christ. Absolutely hate that you can buy a ride now when you shouldn't be on the track. That dude will ride around 2 seconds off the pace and ruin a race for someone next year.

Only 5 pit crew members over wall next season?

Really? Jesus, why is there some big change every fuckin offseason?

 

[gilstein21]

Thing I saw said only 5 guys over wall and gas man can’t perform any other task

 

[Wolfman21]

it'll be interesting to see the strategies they come up with. Pit stops will be much slower. No more sub 12 second stops. If you go 4 tires instead of 2 on a stop, you're gonna lose alotttttta spots. Basically 2 tire changers, 1 tire carrier, 1 jackman, 1 fuel. Tire changers gonna have to carry their own tires over the wall?? lol...shits gone be crazy

 

[Iron]

In case you needed any more evidence Brian France doesn't care

 

[Wolfman21]

Jesus he seems like a real piece of shit

'Is'. Seems left town a long time ago.

I may have posted this before, but since racing season is over....I think this is my favorite part of Rush:

Video for the day, how Cale destroyed his primary car during qualifying for the 83 Daytona 500, and went on to win anyway:

Bubba finishes the trifecta. 5 years, 3 manufacturers

 

[goblue96]

TOP-10 ALL-TIME MOST LAPS LED WITHOUT A WIN*
1) Mike Skinner 1,029
2) Chase Elliott 918
3) Banjo Matthews 495
4) Rick Mast 478
5) Hut Stricklin 476
6) Tommy Irwin 352
7) Erik Jones 311
8) Dave Blaney 301
9) Todd Bodine 276
10) Ted Musgrave 266

*Information based on available data.

 

[Wolfman21]

haha, impressive to have led almost 1,000 laps in his first two seasons.

Shitty that he hasn't closed one out yet

I see it as a sign that he wasn't meant to win a race until he got back in the 9

 

[Hollywood]

Somehow, I'm more shocked that Musgrave & Todd Bodine never won a race as opposed to Mast. I knew they never won one, but didn't know about the "most laps led/never won" category. Musgrave was decent in that Roush #16 for a while.

 

[Wolfman21]

always liked that family channel car when i played with my 1:64ths as a kid

 

[Wolfman21]

P1!

 

[gilstein21]

Didn’t skinner win that race in Japan? Guess it doesn’t count as an official win

 

[Hollywood]

I think he won 2 in Japan. One at Suzuka, one at Twin Ring Motegi. I might be off on that...

For a man who had his brains scrambled, Allison pulls out a nugget of wisdom every now and then.

The wisest sentence about NASCAR I ever heard was from Bobby Allison: “Every year the tracks get more alike, the cars get more alike, and the drivers get more alike. Then they wonder why can’t nobody pass one another.”

Danica is running with Premium Motorsports in the 500. The team had the lone DNQ last year if I recall correctly.

 

[goblue96]

But she bringing dat GoDaddy money.

Only 40 cars on the Daytona 500 entry list - and BK is no way gonna be there, the 51, 62, 66, 92 and 96 are part time. There might be 35 cars at Atlanta.

40 cars at Daytona - good chance a lot of the smaller teams "start and park" in Thursday's qualifying races
No Pole Sponsor
Potential for fewer than 30 trucks in Friday's truck race

What a great start to the 2018 season.

 

[Wolfman21]

the K&N race at new smyrna will likely end up being the best race of the season.

I really dont think nascar, in its current form, will last

 

[Wolfman21]

took em 3 laps to get single file in the first 125(or 150 now i guess). Bet we see alot of that tonight...blegh

 

[Wolfman21]

just as i type that, jimmie johnson blows a left rear and takes out aric almirola with him

 

[Wolfman21]

props to stenhouse. Seems to be the only guy in this first duel that isn't just happy to ride around against the wall.

 

[Wolfman21]

its sad these cars are so aero dependant that you can spin someone without even making contact
