Gotta want to stop first. This is his second go with DUI and I see that the stakes are raised with some righteous Oxy's. Copious booze coupled with lines of opiates is usually a good concoction to hit bottom. I agree that if NASCAR doesn't follow it's own policy with him then they truly are lost. O...
And how is it that DW, in his dotage, is the only one in the booth to assign blame correctly? It was embarrassing to hear Gordon continually say Paul came down when the onboard showed no such move. Gordon obviously gonna stick up for JJ. Former teammates and best friends. Probably the only reason I...
No way they change. Only thing I could see them maybe doing would be to put a plate on them to slow them down further. All I see here is what I saw last year... Just slower. 184 in T1... 20+ mph slower and the race is the same. The cars are junk NASCAR. Splitter, skirts, spoiler... All that shit has...
It sucks either way. If they penalize him, it’s a disappointing way to decide the race. If they don’t, the officials are just turning a blind eye to this pathetic form of racing so many of these drivers engage in. The lap before the pass was amazing. Neither driver gave an inch and neither driver di...
The problem is even when there are good battles, I still can't feel very emotionally invested in the racing when they're like goddamn slot cars and there's only a 4 or 5mph difference between mid-corner speed and top end speed. Nascar will never get the message. They think that big packs equals goo...
Another argument for less downforce and higher straightaway speeds: decelerating into corners creates more opportunity to harvest energy for a hybrid system.
Fuck Ryan Blaney. Newman had that spot covered and Blaney just dumped him. Filthy and pathetic. I have to take this one back. When FOX showed the replays, you could see Newman's car twitch just a little when Blaney was trying to push him, which got him offset to the right and dragged pinned him bac...
If you asked me to sit down and write every main sponsor from the starting lineup of the 1999 Daytona 500 and match it to driver and number, I can probably do it in about ten minutes. If you asked me to name 20 sponsors from Sunday’s race at homestead without matching it to anything, I probably can’...
Brundle’s “x driver owns the corner” bullshit drives me fucking insane. It’s not your goddamn corner if someone is next to you. How else are you supposed to race if the guy in front is just entitled to do whatever the hell he wants just because he’s ahead?
don't think i've ever posted these over here before, but anyway - scanned some old racing photos last fall from my parents collection Rockingham 1992 (the pit crew challenge tells me it's the fall race, but the 12 car is a Chevy?) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/926267000668446771...
I know it’s improved from the worst of the gen 6 days, but I still think the intermediate racing is pretty poor. We’ve gone from shit to meh, in my opinion.
