I was reading an article on how SA crashed a confederate apologist facebook group and one of the things posted on it repeatedly was: "Dale Earnhardt deserved to die" I highly suspect Viking or someone here would have done that just for trolling purposes.

FuzzySkinner posted:Like hell you do This season is strange, I'm agreeing with Fuzzy. That #19 team did some serious work to get that car back into the race at all and I think Carl drove it pretty hard to get back into the top 3 and give them a shot at a win. On the second to last restart he got passed by Truex and was back a little bit in 4th. He passed Truex back and closed a decent gap to the #2 and #4 to make it a 3 way battle. Pretty good last 50 laps I'd say. And yes, Mello Yello forever.

HScott Motorsports is staying at 2 Cup cars next year, but the rumor I heard involves Allgaier moving back down to Xfinity. No idea if it's with HScott/Ganassi or not. I really hope this rules package is used next year. That was fun to watch. A far cry from the Michigan package where NASCAR was literally telling drivers they'd be fined if they talked bad about it.

Clinch scenarios for Richmond: -McMurray- Clinches by starting the race. -Newman- 31st, 32nd with a lap led, 33rd leading most laps. -Gordon- 17th, 18th with a lap led, 19th leading most laps. -Menard- 9th, 10th with a lap led, 11th leading most laps. -Bowyer cannot guarantee himself a spot based off a finish alone. (In theory, no new winner plus keeping Kahne and Almirola behind or within a stone's throw in front of him should do it.). If there's a repeat winner: -McMurray, Newman, Gordon clinch automatically; finish does not matter. -Menard- 38th, 39th with a lap led, 40th leading most laps. -Bowyer- 28th, 29th with a lap led, 30th leading most laps. Bowyer, Almirola, and Kahne can make the Chase on points without a win, but with major help from drivers above them. 12 drivers must win. Cole Whitt and David Gilliland can make the Chase with a win and help.

I've heard RPM was going after everyone from Ty Dillon to Clint Bowyer to Chris Buescher. The 9 situation seems to change week to week. Bowyer's 20 or so races of sponsorship is very enticing to any team that needs the money, but my gut tells me that if taking the 51 for a year ends with him in a championship caliber ride in 2017, that's what he'll do.

Good race to 10 to go, lovely ending and limpdick winner. Maybe Carl will get the Triple Crown. The Roush-Fenway failure was hilarious to watch. Between that, Danica's wreck and Carl stealing a win, you can see the passion for racing drain out of Jack Roush's eye.

Boomer The Cannon posted:Good race to 10 to go, lovely ending and limpdick winner. Maybe Carl will get the Triple Crown. I will agree with most of you that it was a drat good race. The ending was only kind of lame because the run up to the finish was seeing some good green flag runs and the tires were dropping off. Despite all of the cautions a ten lap sprint kind of went against the mood of the race, would have been drat interested if it had been even just 15 laps and the tires would have started to fade. It's still amazing to me how badly Roush is running. They have less momentum right now then other C-Class teams, no obvious up and coming talent to have hope in, no established talent to lean on during these tough times, not even a sponsor-darling that can bring in big bucks despite poor performance. I'm not sure what Roush can do at this point. I feel like they're too far gone to swing for the fences for a big dramatic fix. Instead, they should focus on small incremental improvements and be on a three year plan, but 2018 they should be aiming for consistent top 10s. You've almost got to write off next year already as just another year to try and show a few modest improvements. "Hey, we ran 20th, that sucks. But last year we ran 28th and were lost; this year we had the right idea. Back to the shop for improvements instead of whole sale changes."

The problem with a Roush and Allgaier pairing is that Allgaier only brings about $3 million in sponsorship and Roush is known for wanting big money.

The best summation of the Darlington situation I've seen:quote:Darlington represents everything iconic about NASCAR—it’s a wicked, historic track that’s a bucket-list win for drivers—but it also serves as a cautionary tale. The track opened in 1950, but in 2004, NASCAR gave Darlington’s coveted, traditional Labor Day date to California, and later Atlanta. The Track Too Tough To Tame had to content itself with other, lesser dates until this year. NASCAR tried to be too much to too many people at the expense of tradition, and a vocal segment of the fanbase didn't much care for the change. And as for part of the main idea of the article: quote:Track officials at Darlington, like Daytona earlier this summer, offered a flag exchange for anyone wishing to trade in their Confederate flag on an American one. The exchange was slated to take place at one of the track’s entrance gates, but four different guards at Gate 39A had no idea that the promotion even existed. The fifth pointed me toward a still-full box of American flags tucked in the corner of a small guardhouse.  http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nascar-from-the-marbles/nascar-s-thorny-throwback-problem--the-confederate-flag-004046532.html

eh, depending on how bad it tore, an ACL ain't too much as long as you aren't running or putting lateral stress on it. When I tore mine and the meniscus disc, my leg locked up and wouldn't bend. I could've worked a set of pedals fine. As a matter of fact, my ACL is still torn, they only fixed the disc because that was shredded and I wasn't playing competitive sports. Don't huck yourself in a 360 on a BMX and put your leg down when you over-rotate, kids, it sucks.

Didn't they tweak the eligibility rules for the Chase so he could make the Chase even without running all the races? Something about attempting to qualify for each race? I want to maximize our chances for having a driver who didn't run every race bullshit their way to a title.

NASCAR can give out exemptions if they want, and the old rule still stands that if a driver takes the green, that driver gets points no matter when he hands the car off. So really, if push came to shove, someone could qualify and practice the car for him, he could get in and take the green in the race, turn one lap, and bring it in and hand off to someone else. e- honestly, I'm ok with that. We really shouldn't be making guys race cars at 200mph with their eyes taped open and poo poo in TYOOL 2015

Anyone with half a brain realized that was a lovely situation, but wasn't really Hamlin's or JGR's fault, and he still got bent out of shape about it, it was hysterical. A Milwaukee based company paid for Hamlin to drive at Milwaukee, the entire reason Almirola was even in a car that night was because of that. So he got to lead laps in an otherwise nonexistent car, got to show people that he was capable of running up front, and since he was forced out by lovely circumstances he rage quit a top team to drive for... Ginn Racing.... part time.... with Mark Martin. I mean, c'mon, that's fuckin' comedy right there.
