[edit] The only way a Cup car can even sniff "sling shoting" like an Indy Car is if it was unrestricted and that will never happen Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Jul 6, 2015 |

There are plenty of ways to keep them from running in the pack, but some of nascars terrible fans will probably complain... ever after today. So nascar has to decide if they want to continue to roll the dice, or further upset their terrible fanbase. It's the same as its been for like 10 years.

You're the one that compared Cup to Indy, but ok. Either way get used to pack racing because it's not going anywhere, if you've been a fan of nascar for any length of time you should know this.

You guys are breaking the rules of the thread posting about Indy. Do I need to sic Pnut or KidC on you? Kenny Bruce @kennybruce 8m8 minutes ago Joie Chitwood @DISupdates says 13 fans seen after last-lap accident, 8 declined treatment, 4 treated, 1 (stable) transported to hospital. also, hey maybe it's time the auto racing sanctioning bodies of america figure out a way to help with fan safety or something. You know, before we have another 1955 Le Mans on our hands or something. Just a thought.

Also NASCAR will never do poo poo until someone gets killed, spectator or driver. Remember that it took someone on pit lane getting killed before they put on speed limits, and Earnhardt dying before they started giving a poo poo about driver safety.

This is the thing that scares me. It'd be really nice for them to actually be proactive for once instead of wait for an inevitable really bad thing to happen before they do poo poo.

I imagine he met Earnhardt in the catch fence and he told him to slow down.

A few thoughts after catching up this morning: 1) I can't believe they ran the race last night 2)  Austin Dillon 3) Restrictor plate racing is dumb 4) Hope no one was seriously injured, and I'm glad Dillon is okay. 5) Everyone won bingo

Tear down the first 10 rows (which no one but idiots sit in) and put up a second fence. There, problem solved.

Because you would still end up with the same problem: drivers would still have their foot to the firewall all the way around the track and all would essentially be the same speed. The problem isn't throttle response. Plate racing is about as boring as it gets. Remove the plates and tear down the banking, make them lift in the turns.

That race ended at 2:41am. It took about 15 minutes to get to our car (free $40 parking at Target because the "guards" went home  ), and we had to wait for them to let traffic flow out of one of the side streets. We got home at like 3:15am, it took me until 4 to unwind, and I slept until Noon.I hate sleeping in past 9:45 so I'm slightly irritated and I don't know how anybody that wasn't on vacation down here and had nothing to do today got to see that race live.
