But maybe not as much of an rear end in a top hat as Ryan Newman. What the gently caress is he doing? A lap car, roughing up the leader, at the end of a race, that's just madness- and not in a good way. He should get dumped for that. Don't take the fact that you're a backmarker out on the leader, that doesn't even fly at your local dirt track.


Newman was in a 3 car fight for position at the end with the 17 and the 41. I get getting out of the way, but he was running his race at the same time.

Kevin Harvick's #1 Fan!

He was also one of very few cars with a fresh set of tires. If a caution had come out at the end, he was in a spot to gain quite a few positions if he was on the lead lap.

He's also physically incapable of looking over his shoulder so maybe his spotter should have thrown him a bone.

This is not a binary choice- he ran the leader like an rear end, even if he was racing for position. If he runs the leader that hard, and wrecks him (and imagine if that leader is Blaney), it's an absolute poo poo show. You're a lap down, with two laps to go, in my opinion he needs to be a lot smarter. If he's on fresh tires, then he can afford to wait and give the leader some space- not take him three wide into the corner coming down to the white flag. If someone raced him like that he would be looking for him in the garage area after the race.

And yes, Newman saved the finish- but that doesn't mean that his actions were cool. I'm totally fine with the guys in front of the leader racing side by side, but Newman dive bombing the leader from behind into turn 3 is pretty nuts. I like that his driving style stands out, but you gotta be a little bit smart about that.

As I pointed out in Discord, Newman gave Kyle a win in September. He nearly cost him one today. Racin'.

Go ahead and turn on NBCSN. I'll wait.

Now point laugh at this dumbass who looked at the radar and thought things would turn out okay and no more than got to the FanZone only to have to scramble to the merch tent, which is mercifully air conditioned.

So long as it’s in addition to a GT3 or GTE program, plus Super GT, and maybe more, then it’s fine.

If that’s the only racing Supra, there will be riots.

I think it looks ok, but the Supra is an odd fit for a stock car body.

It's pouring in Daytona and the infield is probably going to look like Woodstock by the green flag tonight.

Steve Letarte has been banished to the infield, with Schwieger/Junyer/Burton in the booth:

It rained 2 in this afternoon but I'll take it because it's about 70 degrees. This doesn't happen often in Daytona.

Somebody has to.

E- Junyer is a surprisingly cerebral guy. I knew he was very able to talk but listening to him talk through the lap of Truex's helmet cam lap was awesome.

NASCAR's to the point now where even when they're right, they lose.

I mean, the rule was probably enforced "as it should be", but
