Or Hendrick cars still have the monstrous restrictor plate engines. Editing 1995 500 qualifying video and funny enough when Chase was qualifying Gordon was just finishing qualifying. Fun fact today is going 1 second faster than 1995.

Going back and watching the finish, DW was once again pretty blatant in pulling for one driver over the other. He was outright rooting for Truex and basically screams "NAWWW" when Hamlin wins.

don't be an rear end, viking, you know fuckall about F1. the entire raison d'etre of the haas team is to build as little as possible in-house and thus advertise the haas brand for as little cost as possible, while still punching above what a team on their budget is normally capable of doing. they don't have any facilities of their own with which to design a car. they don't build any of the car themselves. the body is built by dallara. engine, transmission, suspension, anything that ferrari can legally sell them, they do. to suggest that ford could replace ferrari would be suggesting that haas invests hundreds millions more into effectively building a brand new team. you're suggesting that haas build their own wind tunnel. and you're suggesting that he's scrapped his entire plan before the car has even turned a wheel in anger.

Kahne's response to wrecking Danica:

http://sports.yahoo.com/video/kahne-responds-incident-danica-001453558.html

This tells me a few things:

1. Kahne doesn't know who he's racing: He, and his crew, did not effectively communicate what Kahne had to do at that point in the race, and who he was racing. Sure, maybe he was trying to catch someone that was a lap down, but even then, you can't race a lead car that tough- there's little to be gained.

2. Even if Kahne thought he was racing Danica, he's a bad race car driver because that was some stupid poo poo. Imagine the hell he would catch if he had wrecked Jr, Harvick, or Edwards (just to name three). It was a dumb move done by someone who ran out of talent.

3. This is the kind of poo poo that goes wrong during a lost season in a lost career. Kahne struggled to a 28th place finish. Looking like a fool does not help you, or your team, develop confidence that you can turn the ship around. It's one thing to finish 28th, you could blame it on bad luck (something Kahne has always had too much of), but at least do it quietly.

Overall, too much has been made of this. Kahne clearly didn't mean it, but it was absolutely a dumb thing to do and Danica should be pissed. I wonder, assuming Kahne and Larson both miss the Chase, do you see a driver change before the season ends.

Edit- Holy poo poo...I had someone retweet me....I've never tweeted before....there's something ridiculously gratifying about it.

Edit 2- Dale Jr's twitter account really is awesome. For someone who refused to do it until fairly recently, he is a natural at it.

Also reminder Khane had only 10 top tens last year. For someone in a Hendrick car that's really bad.

That's a fair point, but I'd argue that the races themselves were equally (or possibly more) as terrible as races today.

You know everyone that travels long distances to the race picks the fall race instead of the spring race, but the amount of empty seats was crazy--there's no way they were at half capacity. And it's not like they can remove seats like some of the other tracks. On the aerials you could also see that the lots around the track that used to be huge amounts of merch trailers, corporate displays, and corporate hospitality were largely empty also.

Exactly ten years ago, they were sold out for the 30th+ race in a row there and I remember buying a ticket from a shady dude on the parkway in front of the track. Protip: waiting until an hour before a sporting event starts can net you a sweet deal from a guy with a pocketful of tickets.

In 2002 my mom just called up the ticket office and was like "hey do you have any tickets" and somehow that managed to work and I still don't know how.
