And I don't even think the lugs are even on the "honor system", per se. I think it's literally just "put however many you want on".

Even if it were an 'honor system', honor systems would never work in any competitive event, NASCAR or otherwise.

IIRC, SRA made a post that you could have 3 or 4 lugs on that'll keep the wheel on securely if you balance it out correctly. I don't know we'll see if we get random tires coming out of the hub causing big crashes.

I drove with only 2 of 4 lugs on one of my tires for a while and the wheel never fell off, so I know it's possible to not have a few. OTOH, I wasn't going 190+ MPH so whether it's a good idea to go without a lug nut or two at those speeds...well it seems like a bad idea, anyway.

Reed Sorensen is out of gonna run a backup (if they can get one) in the duel and the 500 because he wrecked their only car at qualifying. I know you're a big Hendrick and Penske fanboy so you don't give a gently caress about the shithouse teams but group qualifying at a plate track is dumb as hell.

I think you misunderstand me.

Yeah, it is dumb. It's VERY dumb, potentially the dumbest thing NASCAR has done lately, and I don't say those words lightly. But NASCAR of the last ten years has done nothing but stupid, awful poo poo that nobody wants. I've enjoyed NASCAR a lot more since I decided to embrace the stupidity rather than bitch about it, and I recommend that more people do it.

And for the record my favorite drivers are Dave Blaney and Casey Mears so I care quite a bit about the shithouse teams.

I understand them perfectly: they're full of bitter cynics wishing for the old days that we will never, ever return to because the people running the sport are braindead. You can either continue to be bitter about it and hate watching it, or you can accept the fact that poo poo's hosed and watch with the hope of maximum shenanigans. I think everyone would be happier and the threads would be a lot less angry and a lot more fun if everyone chose the latter option.

Maybe if Kyle put less focus on small victories he could compete for a Cup title.

he still has the same weaknesses on track now as he did when he was a rookie, so i highly doubt it. his tendency to just give up and crash whenever his car isn't perfect will prevent him from ever winning a sprint cup championship.
