we need something like this in cup race

Max Gresham said Lofton was complaining of wrist pain, so that would be relieving to know that's all it is.

Sounds like a plan!

Wait.....its a long time until April.

Crapppppppppp

we need something like this in cup race

The thing that annoys me is that all these wrecks could be avoided if drivers just chilled the fuck out on the last lap and used their heads. It's usually always caused by one driver making a dumb move - Stewart throwing that stupid block on Mikey last year, Edwards throwing a block on Kes, Regan Smith throwing a block on Kes at Daytona, Paludo slamming into the back of Jeb Burton last night. The list goes on. They don't do these dumbass moves for 99% of the race, because funnily enough, they don't want to wreck. So why do they suddenly decide it's ok to drive like a tit and wreck the field on the final lap? You expect this kind of stuff on iRacing, not from supposed professionals.

The worst thing is they'll then bitch and moan at NASCAR that the track and the racing is all too dangerous and "something needs to be done". You might get a half-assed apology but then they'll just go out and do the same thing next time. Of course this kind of racing provides more potential for this kind of thing to happen, but it is possible to race hard, clean and sensibly. We've seen it enough times before. If the drivers don't feel they can get to the end of one of these races without sperging out and sending a car into the fence, then maybe they should think twice before getting behind the wheel.

tl;dr drivers need to drive better

It's the last lap. Everyone wants to win. You don't get anywhere by being content to run 10th.

Fuck this retarded tandem racing. It needs to END.

I get that. But these guys are meant to be good. And good racing drivers are meant to realise that driving into things won't help them win. Had Paludo been a bit less aggressive yesterday he'd probably have finished 8th, rather than upside down, on fire, and with half his roof caved in.

See Mark Martin and Kevin Harvick at the 2007 Daytona 500 for an example of two drivers doing everything they can to win without crashing into things.

iono, maybe I am being a bit harsh. I just feel like the drivers can get away with a lot more stupid shit at Talladega by blaming it on the track and the racing.
