It's gonna be hilarious when practice and Duel wrecks obliterate teams that were hoping to string a Daytona start-n-park purse into a full or partial season of LASTCAR money and we end up with 38 cars at "NASCAR Sprint Cup Series May Kansas Race", as it is currently titled on nascar.com, the official website of NASCAR.

Mark Martin will take the fill-in spots to round out the field. All of them. At once. It'll be like those Playstation 2 era NASCAR games where they'd add in a half dozen Busch teams to pad the field and you end up with two Michael Waltrips in the same race.

I just realized the Duels aren't until 7pm. The one time I'm actually home on the day of the Duels and they are on at an hour that I could watch when I got home from work. To top it off, I have poo poo to do tonight so I will still have to wait and watch on DVR.

Looking at the lineups, and the stats, I think this is the situation in each Duel: Duel 1 Locked in via qualifying speed: Dillon Locked in via owner's points and/or qualifying speed: Biffle, Newman, Earnhardt, Jr., Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Stewart, Not locked in at this point, but may the past champions provisional available: None Not locked in at this point, but may based on finishing position and/or qualifying speed and/or owner's points: Stenhouse, Jr., Ambrose, Almirola, Logano, Kahne, Harvick, Patrick, Allmendinger, Sorenson, Gilliland, Kligerman, Vickers, Wise, Nemechek, Bowman Must race in: Whitt, McDowell Duel 2 Locked in via qualifying speed: Martin Truex, Jr. Locked in via owner's points and/or qualifying speed and/or past champion's provisional: Edwards, Keselowski, Gordon, Johnson, Bowyer Not locked in, but may have the past champion's provisional available: Kurt Busch, Terry Labonte, Bobby Labonte Not locked in, but may based on finishing position and/or owner's points, and/or qualifying speed: Menard, Scott, Mears, Annett, Hamiln, Larson, Bayne, Allgaier, Cassill, Waltrip, McClure, McMurray, Ragan, Ryan Truex Must race in: Shepherd The order for the past champion's provisional is: Johnson, Keselowski, Stewart, Kurt Busch, Kenseth, Gordon, Bobby Labonte, Terry Labonte. And, the actual starting lineup for the 500 will break down like this: 1-2: Pole qualifiers (Dillon, Truex, Jr.) 15-32: Top 15 finishers in each Duel, excluding Dillon and Truex, Jr. Duel 1 finishers will line up in the odd starting positions, and Duel 2 finishers in the even starting positions. 33-36: The four fastest cars from qualifying who did not race their way in via the Duels 37-42: The six highest ranked cars from last season's owner's points who did not race their way in, or get in via speed. 43: Past champion's provisional: If all past champions race in, or get in via speed, or owner's points, the 43rd position will go to the highest-ranked car from last season's owner's points who has not already made the field.

People sucking Petty's cock over his 200 wins is the same as people thinking Danica is great driver. Tony Stewart may be a bullshitter and a corporate shill these days but I think his resume is better than Petty's when looked at objectively. He's a much better driver than Petty. However, what Petty said is true. I'm just commenting on the article comparing Petty and Stewart.

It's a really terrible piece. Any honest race fan will tell you straight out Smoke and Petty are at least peers in terms of accomplishments. 7 championships and 200 wins doesn't sniff Tony's career totals. People forget Petty only ran Cup (and a few drag races) in his career. So his legacy is only that. A dude like Smoke, on paper, is automatically a better driver, just in numbers alone. Since that's the metric the author uses, he's not even correct in that.

Inexperienced yokels going 225. The IRL, folks. His Triple Crown is his best accomplishment, IMO. He won it all back when USAC was still a popular and televised thing, against stiff competition. It's loving amazing. Also, he's started exactly one supermodified race and one big block modified race and he has one career supermod win and one career big block mod win. e- also a reminder that Petty forced someone off the road in a fit of road rage Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Feb 20, 2014 |

Nope, sorry. Guys like Brett Hearn spend millions on their big block teams. It ain't the 60's. Plus in both those races Stewart just jumped in an existing ride, wasn't his poo poo.

some good debates going on in this thread right now. I love it when we discuss history. VikingSkull posted:Inexperienced yokels going 225. The IRL, folks. His only true asterisks to me is he's not won Indy or Daytona. Dude needs to cross those off his bucket list of accomplishments. Aside from that, dude is one of most mega-talented drivers in his generation.

Don't you be dissing Derrike Cope now.  Seriously, it's on the checklist though. Dale and Darrell both felt their careers were incomplete without a win there.

I have to wonder if that's the real driving force behind the new Chase format, to make winning the 500 actually mean something since it's the first guaranteed Chase entry spot now.
