the last time i saw someone die in a race it was because they got hit in the face with a tire. needless to say this is awesome news.

this is sarcasm, btw, i am not a bad enough poster/person to legitimately hope for someone to die. what in the absolute gently caress, nascar

I'm pretty sure Daytona qualifying has been on network TV since the CBS days.

Also who suggested this thread title because it makes me laugh every time I read it. I wonder how many people get it.

i thought boomer came up with it himself. it is genius.

vikingskull all you ever want from indycar is ovals and americans and maybe front-engined cars (though i could never figure out if that was a joke; it should be), which is basically just nascar, a series that's also a joke these days. plus all the foreign drivers that have managed to stick it out in nascar have become pretty popular. so stop being so defensive all the time you have terrible ideas.

also it's brian barnhart* not bernard, bernard was kind of cool

Lots of titles, but you never got the impression that he was on a different planet from everyone else.

this is the same thing everyone says about drivers who dominate and i can never figure out if it's just sour grapes or because it's impossible to have that much success without some wins/titles that you clearly don't "deserve"

me, vikingskull and jim had a calm and reasonable discussion about the relative merits of nascar drivers and you have the audacity to complain?

I've said all along Gordon would have six championships at this point under the old system. Johnson would have won in 2004. The only reason Johnson lost the points lead going into the Chase was they used three races leading in as test sessions and blew up in all of them.

this isn't relevant though as drivers race to the rules they are given. you can't simply look in the past and assume every result would have been the same under a different points system.

They got rid of the format detailed in LASTCAR's video. It's back to what it was in the 90s, which is:
-Front Row: Qualifying
-3-32: Duel finishing positions
-33-36: Speeds
-37-42: Owner Points
-43: Champion's Provisional or next highest in Owner Points.

Also, have a transcript when two bad drivers who get into each other on the track have a conversation. Denny defends his flimsy position, while Danica is pissed that he's wrecked her twice this week:

Hamlin: "I didn't hit you. Honey, I did not touch you."

this transcript is messed up, it was johnny who said that, not denny

New York is like Texas. A huge state populated by rednecks, with one city made up of liberals. Where Austin exists in a bubble, NYC spreads like a cancer, takes over local governments, and fills them with laws that the people were originally fleeing from. NYC also didn't eliminate crime, they just shipped it to Newburgh.
