Jesus. Some of you fucking idiots are only happy with asinine crash filled finished. Holy shit.

Not every plate race has to end with 27 cars in the garage and 10 upside down.


We have this same goddamn debate every time no matter which way round the race goes, dull or exciting.

Just because we're not happy with a 90% single filed procession dominated by 1 team protecting their driver that needed to advance then an underwhelming finish where no-one had anything for that driver in the final 2 laps doesn't mean we demanding a huge big one with 20 flips
Just a bit of competittion for the win or at least the whole thing not being a foregone conclusion due to a combination of the aero package and the chase meaning drivers were ok with settling for a top 10 instead of going all out for the win

The whole "Finish isn't good so lets paint anyone who didn't enjoy it as crash hungry lunatics" point is so old fashioned it might as well be posted in black and white with old timey-piano music in the background.... :roll:

Maybe doing a lap with a jack under your car is good luck.

He definitely was trying to think of ways to win and wasn't sandbagging. Was solid all day and sealed the deal amongst a handful of Chase contenders. Easily his best performance in a stock car. But it's Talladega...

I know Brian Scott was trying to win but it's hard to do much with the car behind him having to defend his position to protect his spot in the chase.

Those Penske cars were too strong all day. I'd have preferred the #2 winning over the #22 though.

Looks like Harvick punched Kurt while Kurt was still sitting in the car.

So I went to the bar after Earnhardt and Biffle wrecked.
Casual LOL to Junior being on commentary while his bro wrecks and him essentially being "meh..." to it. :lol:

So what happened between Harvick and Busch that lead to this?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. noticed something that we may have missed. This is what he posted on Twitter. I don't know how to embed tweets on here.

Everyone forgot that there was a land speed record set today by a floor jack. Big day for floor jack fans everywhere...

You gotta admit though, it'd be a lot cooler if it did

I still like Stewart's Figure 8 idea from a few years ago better.
