The more I think about Talladega being an elimination race, the more excited I get. loving Talladega is a goddamn elimination race. It's like NASCAR realized how loving stupid this thing was and decided the best course of action was to make it stupider.

It'll all be worth it when Talladega eliminates Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr., ending the season-long battle between the two most popular drivers.

See now you're thinking. Except you should want this, or any other number of stupid things, to actually happen. The Chase is dumb as poo poo, we should all root for it to end in the dumbest way possible. Otherwise you're NASCAR-ing wrong.

Pit road is the only remotely interesting thing about this race so far. And now even the walls decided this race is boring as poo poo and fell over to bring out a yellow and try to make it more interesting. DEEP STATE PLOT fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Sep 14, 2014 |

Uncle Jam posted:I don't think anyone here says Johnson sucks though. There are plenty of people who subscribe to the 'he's only that good because of Knaus' mentality. Which yeah, Knaus is an excellent crew chief, but an excellent crew chief with an average or even above average driver would not pull the results Johnson has had.

Peanut President posted:*points thumbs to self* It seems you got Johnson confused with Kyle Busch. Part of Johnson's entire schtick is getting a poo poo car, running 20th for half the race and then ending up with a top 5. ~Overcoming adversity~

FuzzySkinner posted:I really don't see it as a good investment on Petty's part. Unless you want a road course ringer? An Open Wheel guy should be pretty low on your list of people to hire. Like I said, there really isn't anyone else out there to put in the car. For better or for worse, of the drivers available for a Cup ride, Hornish is probably the best driver they could give that ride to.

I always viewed Terry Labonte winning the final Southern 500 as the end of the golden age of NASCAR.

Alain Post posted:I don't know if it happened specifically with Gordon/Labonte, but reminder that for like decades, it was possible, and in fact pretty easy for the second place driver to get as many points as the winner. And when they finally changed it so that the winner always gets more points, I think the Chase already existed so it didn't matter.

But one thing for you guys to consider with this championship Dave Marcis is a champion and Harry Gant is a 3 time champ. However Greg Biffle would also be a champion, and gently caress That poo poo Entirely
