I was listening to Shawn Michaels on Chris Jericho's podcast and they talked about his son's racing career (I believe he had been racing legends cars), and he mentioned that they pulled him out of that because as he was getting more successful they were finding that the situations often involved bad behavior or unsportsmanlike tactics paying off. I found that interesting since it's so prevalent in K&N with the 15-16 year olds that come up.

Unsportsmanlike? Coming from the guy who kicked Stan?

I'm not normally a tinfoil hat-wearing, "this stuff is the WWE"-type person, but the biggest story in Speedweeks winning the pole three years in a row seems to be a little more than coincidental. DANICUHHHHH, The 3, and now the guy running his last 500.

And this comes from a Gordon fan.

Well NASCAR does the timing so they wouldn't have to cheat the cars just say that Patrick/Dillon/Gordon has the best time. It's all so close that you can't argue it.

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.

Question about setting the grid: are the cars that are set by qualifying speed (31-36th; right?) set by fastest speed when you combine the qualifying sessions or do they rank the later qualifying sessions above the earlier ones? Apparently when you combine qualifying sessions Gordon is only the 7th Fastest which is interesting

Qualifying was only set for 1st and 2nd. Everyone else has to go through a pair of qualifying races: :siren:"THE DUEL":siren:!

WIKIPEDIA posted:

The two fastest qualifiers above (the Daytona 500 pole winner and the "outside" pole winner) are awarded the first starting position on the grid for the two Duel races, respectively.
Drivers who qualify in odd-numbered positions in Q3 start in the first Duel, while drivers who qualify in even-numbered positions in Q3 start in the second Duel. This fills positions 1-6 in each duel.
The 12 drivers eliminated after Q2 have their Q2 times determine their starting position. The fastest driver eliminated in Q2, based on Q2 times only, starts 7th in the first Duel, while the second-fastest driver in Q2 starts 7th in the second Duel, and based on position of elimination from Q2, start in the first (odd) or second (even) numbered positions.
Drivers eliminated after Q1 will have Q1 times determine their starting position. The fastest driver eliminated in Q1 starts 13th in the first Duel, while the second-fastest driver eliminated in Q1 starts 13th in the second duel.

During qualifying Mikey said "the drivers don't like it but it's really exciting for he fans" while the whole field was parked on pit lane. Also you can still call it CTS if you just treat Campingworld as one word.

btw it was actually Gordon's last few seasons that really pushed him over Dale in my view- he's basically having Dale's late-career resurgence. it really is same career, better peak.

Except Gordon got to have a late career. I can't wait for someone to fall into this thread telling me how terrible Kulwicki was. "dude only had one title what a hoser!" Also regarding Johnson on your fave five viking, your list is like saying "i think we should kill the jews and also I like ranch dressing", and then wondering why people aren't arguing about thousand island.

Dale was like 50 when he died. Only delusional Dale fans (all of them) thought his late form would last for much longer. He was old and a bunch of good young drivers were about to enter the sport.

Dale Earnhardt had 2 wins and finished second in points in 2000, at 49 years old. Gordon's 5 years younger and getting a pole is a momentous occasion for him.
