e- It's the standard car, only silver. The Axalta logo is black. Think the DuPont 20th Anniversary car he won Homestead with in 2012, but the rear quarter panels are black.

Well Gordon has had some good luck with silver cars. Win in 2012, 2nd in 04, and 2000... well not really well. So pretty much it's the earlier car but it has those sayings on the quarter panel and just silver instead.

The good news is, I'll watch races for the good racing... If there is any.... And not be bothered about having a favorite driver. Blancpain endurance, I have a few teams I root but not Gordon levels while I can be excited for lots of racing instead. With where the cars could go next year, I could watch more of next year than this year because of the racing.

It feels to me like that this is NASCAR's way saying "fine, have your stupid package". Schadenfreude is fun!

Someone please explain to me how this package might suit Jeff Gordon's driving style so I can feel feelings ranging from relief/indifference to absolute rage depending upon how a 2016 season might have played out.

Yeah he was top dog in Hendrick at Kentucky with this and didn't see Darlington so this package would've probably given an up year to him but we can only speculate. We'll see if Stewart gets one last resurgence next year.

So, I've been thinking about the upcoming offseason, and things we can do in case more of you are nerdy shutins like me.

Obviously, Winter Heat will (hopefully) be a thing. But also, I was thinking we could do edits on NASCAR related articles on the SAS Wiki. I mean, it'd be pretty funny to put that picture of Tony above into his wiki article, for anyone who uses the random button...

Years ago I signed up for the wiki but immediately lost my password. I can help getting facts and then put it in the funniest way possible. Also should probably get to reuploading my videos that got taken down. Just went on a frenzy yesterday getting some races like some 95 races, specifically Sonoma, and 94 Brickyard, specifically Qualifying that had 86 guys qualifying.

He could bs his way into 1 though. He's been very good at Homestead at late and this was Gordon's only for sure shot to lock himself in. Though Logano, Busch, and Keselowski are now way back, I would bet Gordon wouldn't have made it, but I'm down for watching Homestead.

I think as it comes down to what Gordon said about Logano, he came off smarmy and unapologetic to Kenseth rightfully or wrongfully pushed out of the way at Kansas wanted retribution. He wanted to take that grin off of his face. I'd say Logano hasn't made fans for taking out well regarded champion.

Good thing NASCAR isn't with ESPN anymore or Craven would be gone. I agree with Craven, on that front as well with what Jr and Gordon said. It's racing and allowed it. Only difference between this wreck and Martinsville was Kenseth kept plowing into Logano rather than pop him in the rear. That and on top the consistency of penalties. Gordon did the same thing (albeit he was in the championship too), and wrecked a championship contender with a slap on the wrist, while Kenseth got a suspension. If you foster driver's have at it and where this chase strives on wins, you're going to have guys wreck guys. Just shows the shitshow NASCAR is.

That moment now for Earnhardt is enshrined as a great moment for him as being peak Earnhardt. I don't remember at all them even think of suspending him in the slightest. It's all up to NASCAR

Side note, I got a bunch more NASCAR races including 1995 Daytona 500 with the rain delay coverage... the booth was taking questions from people from the phone. Also Richard Petty has sun sensitivity in his eyes so he always has sunglasses, thanks caller.

I dont know if you have noticed, and this is coming from a diehard Larson fan, BUT, his "next best thing" spotlight is already shrinking and if Elliott does well next year, they will never mention him again.

Eh we said that about Logano and after a change of teams, he's living up to the talk. Larson could break out with Ganassi or he could stagnate, find a different team or prosper, or be another failed driver. Even if he's overshadowed by Chase in a superior car he still has time to prove himself.

Amp doesn't sponsor him. I'd say PepsiCo wouldn't care unless it was Jr driving a red bull sponsored car. That or he finds another sponsor for one race or so and see Regan Smith get pissed.
