DEMAG posted:I'm betting he and Bowman are total busts. Hendrick is going to be all Jimmie and Jimmie Jr. Bowman did OK when he filled in for Jr. I mean judging by how the 88 ran for most of the last few years with Jr. in the car he pretty much ran what Jr. probably would have run. Bowman's average finish in 10 races was 19.7. I would hope that putting in a full off season with the team and then the full season that they would be able to put up a little bit better numbers but really an average finish of 19.7 is also ran status if your last name isn't Earnhardt I guess. E: Earnhardt had an average of 16th before hanging it up after 18 races that year. Really I'm just trying to justify defending Bowman because I like him and don't want him to be a bust. Elliott I don't like but just seeing the way he ran last year he knows all the wrong moves and ways to lose races so I could see him putting at least one together and getting a win. Maybe he'll have like a sophomore slump other than picking up a win but all you need is a win to get in the chase so he would be able to run mediocre all year and still technically have his season be a "success". bigbillystyle fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Feb 15, 2018 |

I think Phoenix is one of the better tracks in the west, which makes perfect sense that they are going to change the configuration for...reasons. I don't think it'll make much difference since it seems like all they are doing is moving the start/finish, but why mess with a good thing?

Boomer The Cannon posted:Nobody else can close a race out this year. That #78 team really screwed the pooch on that one. I don't know if he would have held on but his short run car was OK so there was a chance if they didn't have such a horrible pit stop. I'm a little surprised nobody tried to stay out before the restart with 6 to go. I think there were like 10 or 11 laps on everyone's tires and only 16 cars on the lead lap. I thought maybe 2 or 3 guys below 7th place or so would try it. It seems like the last few weeks there has been a lot of emphasis about tire safety and keeping them "at arms reach" while doing pit stops. I don't know why NASCAR is so hard up about this but then takes away a member of the over the wall crew. If you want fewer uncontrolled tires then let an extra man over the wall. Seems pretty simple. Most of the "uncontrolled" tires have been caused by 1 guy trying to secure 2 tires and I say "uncontrolled" because these wildly uncontrolled tires have been like rolling and inch out of the box or an inch out of "arms reach". Luckily those have been the only uncontrolled tires so far but it just seems silly to have safety be the reason they went down to 5 people and want less people on pit road but safety is also compromised when a tire is more likely to end up rolling out of the pit box and end up going off somebody's front bumper and becoming a projectile.

Ungratek posted:Roush hasn't been good at all, but Stenhouse runs decent when he actually has a good car. Bayne was barely top 20. Makes sense to bring in Kenseth to figure out some things for the program Between Stenhouse and Bayne their average finishing results are actually pretty close with Stenhouse at 21 and Bayne at 23.8 but I feel like Stenhouse has had some better runs, especially with a top 5 at Bristol and that car was loving trashed. Bayne's best finish so far is a 12th at Texas. Taking another look at it as I type this out, aside from the 4th at Bristol Stenhouse also has zero top 10's. So they are really kind of even with each other. I still feel like Stenhouse has been running better though. Maybe because I know what Sunny D is and could care less what Advocare is, or whatever it's called, on that 6 car? The corporate sponsors tell me who to like now I guess, as it should be.

On the bright side there are other guys out there that can wheel a car and don't seem like total dicks, like Kyle Larson or Ryan Blaney, that should be fun to watch for the next decade at least.

I did appreciate the guys in the booth attempting to sell the end of the race like there was any chance in hell someone was going to catch the #4. Now, with this package the #19 should be able to suck right back up to the #4. Except they said that during the first stage as well and the #4 in clean air was untouchable then too. But yes I agree that it was fun and weird and at the end it was the same ol' poo poo.

I thought it was awesome though because the guys I went with had a niece or something that worked for NASCAR in some capacity and we got to meet a bunch of drivers, watch the Cup race from the infield, watch the Busch race from the pits, plus the races over on the dirt track too.

Well I got all hyped up about actually watching Indy cars during the 500 last week and decided to watch Belle Isle yesterday and today and saw something for the first time ever in any form of racing what-so-ever. For those that didn't see it, the Celebrity Pace Car Driver, some GM executive, took the pace car off pit road, lit up the tires and promptly stuffed it into the wall. Clean up, re-firing and resetting the grid took about 40 minutes or so. I've never seen the track have to go to the backup car for a pace car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEqECTJJx6w

The only thing that came to mind was the time that dude stole a pace car at Talladega but he didn't wreck it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICi3kIzSIZg YouTube is now telling me safety car incidents aren't all that out of the ordinary and usually involve them doing something stupid or unexpected resulting in a race car hitting them but not too many unassisted 1 car incidents.

Yes there were periods of decent racing. Everyone was feeling the impending weather and running hard, as well as taking 2 tires here and there, gambling on fuel here and there, and generally making the race a little more interesting. A good steal by Bowyer driving hard to stay ahead of the 4 and good on the 14 team for making the 2 tire call. I don't know how many more times NASCAR can watch what is typically a boring, strung out, snooze of a race become interesting when 100 miles is cut off of it and not just cut 100 miles off almost every race on the schedule.

Elitist Bitch posted:It really bothers me how opaque the punishment/recovery process is for substances in NASCAR. I get that racing is inherently more dangerous to be participating in under the influence but it seems ridiculous to keep everything so hush-hush. Finally a good race at a mile and half track. It was nice not knowing who was going to win the race 10 laps in for once. Say what you want about either Kyle, that was a good finish, and really great save from Larson to hold onto 2nd place. I'll take a finish like that every week even if it means Shrub winning them all.

Not surprising Kahne would be on the way out. Getting into the 95 car isn't exactly a mark of a guy who would be on the upswing to land a top notch ride next year. It definitely didn't feel like this was a pit stop while he waited out a contract for a big team like Clint Bowyer waiting for the 14, or when Kahne put in a year at Red Bull before Hendrick. I really liked Kasey when he first came to Cup. He was fun to watch and he pulled out a handful of second place finishes that rookie season and it was fun to pull for him to win. Plus at that time I was losing Rusty as my favorite driver so it was time to find a new guy to root for. It's just too bad the team couldn't pull out a championship that one season where they won like 6 or 7 races.

I only really had 2 takeaways from the Kansas race. The #42 ends up having to use a backup car at Kansas, which is fine poo poo happens. But how do you show up at a track where you CAN win and MUST win with only 1 fully prepared, fully updated car? Not enough time at the shop? You have two teams. Who cares if the #1 runs like poo poo in essentially a backup car as a primary? You have both shops build and prepare 2 latest and greatest cars for the guy who might actually get a chance to use them. The commentators saying something is missing from the #78 car. I wonder what it could be? Are they even building new cars? I'd think they are just bringing the best of what they have and trying not to spend too much considering they are done at the end of the year. I'm sure it would be nice to go out on top but when they're getting out of the game I don't see them justifying spending that much to get it.

WindyMan posted:I think it at this point it may be safe to assume that everyone has been doing it, and winning a NASCAR race is less about driver skill and more about which team can get away with more without crossing the line. That is pretty much what I figure for every team that gets caught doing something like that. They just hosed up hiding it once and got caught. Unless it is some stupid poo poo like putting jet fuel in like Waltrip did so many years ago. Or I think it was Harvick's team when he was with the #29 before qualifying put a stopper in the fuel filler hose, that runs from the body to the fuel cell, and then filled the (clear) fuel hose to make it appear they had a full tank so they could qualify with less fuel weight in the car but when they got put through tech post qualifying the officials thought it was pretty interesting that it then appeared they had not burned a gallon of fuel during qualifying as the tube was still full of fuel. E: I couldn't find the details of it but found it was the UAW 400 in Vegas in 2005 for the Harvick thing. E: from Jayski: • $25,000.00 fine and suspension from NASCAR until April 20, 2005 and suspension from the next four (4) NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races for crew chief Todd Berrier. The Appellants acknowledged that the sealed-off filler and the plug inserted in the vent line were deliberate rules violations, but appealed the severity of the penalties http://www.jayski.com/pages/penalties2005.htm bigbillystyle fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Nov 8, 2018 |

Reynold posted:Do you want the current NASCAR product? Because this is how you get the current NASCAR product. I think you're off here. Cheating is racing. From go-karts to late models to modifieds to Cup. Every single team in every single race has something that they think is giving them an edge that doesn't comply with the rules. From the front of the pack to the rear. Probably more-so in the rear because they are getting scrutinized less and they need the cheats just to stay semi competitive. If you tried to take the cheating out of racing the teams will just find better cheaters.

Normally I give up watching Indy like a week or two after the 500 but this year I didn't really start watching until the 500 and I'll say I got hooked in this season. I missed a few races here and there but when I was able to catch them I did and made sure I DVR'd the last few of the season. While I still watched F1 and NASCAR via DVR the whole season I can't say it was really appointment TV. The only thing that keeps me watching them in a timely fashion is wanting to avoid spoilers for the winners. Still I was actually interested in the Indy races down the stretch so that is one positive for them.
