i would rather watch something motown related than a nascar race though, because motown is great and nascar is the worst

I fuckin knew Reed was gonna cause a wreck, he was all over the track since the restart.

Also I just started watching during the last yellow, have I missed anything? (I assume no judging by the lack of posts)

So who is left? Kahne and Dillon and scrubs in the back?

Pretty much, these last two wrecks have decimated the field. I think Sadler got through without major damage as well but I'd count him as one of the scrubs in the back.

There are 6 cars who don't have damage from those last two wrecks :laffo:

Go Benny Gordon!

e: I was wrong, it was just 6 who had mostly dodged that last wreck and some of them had damage. There are a whole 9 cars on the lead lap.

Also, Regan Smith and his spotter were both commenting on all the "pushing" guys were getting away with. Apparently Logano and Dillon did it all the way down the backstretch early in the going.

It was pretty blatantly obvious that Logano was doing it towards the end of the race as well. I love rules that are very selectively enforced!

Sure, but NASCAR isn't going to mandate new fences because of a slim to no possibility.

Instead of new catch fences they should come up with a package in which cars can actually pass one another and where tire wear comes into play. The more cars are together in a pack like that, the more likely something really bad happens.

DEEP STATE PLOT

The best auto race I've ever seen was the 2013 IndyCar California race. It was a shitton more fun to watch than the pack race they had there this year because cars were getting huge runs by themselves and slingshotting past one another, and tire wear was a real thing that affected cars pretty significantly. I would absolutely love a NASCAR race at Daytona that was similar to that and would gladly take it over plate racing any day.

Look how dumb this is

Yeah it's really dumb to want a NASCAR race at Daytona to be like they were in the early to mid 90's where cars weren't 3 wide the whole pack deep and could actually pass one another. How absurd :rolleyes:

You're the one that compared Cup to Indy, but ok.

Also NASCAR will never do poo poo until someone gets killed, spectator or driver. Remember that it took someone on pit lane getting killed before they put on speed limits, and Earnhardt dying before they started giving a poo poo about driver safety.

This is the thing that scares me. It'd be really nice for them to actually be proactive for once instead of wait for an inevitable really bad thing to happen before they do poo poo.
