lol well yea most would think that is the case . I will be the first to say NASCAR is known for helping popular drivers and if they dont do it on pupose it sure is a big coincidence sometimes .
Sunday i think was a case of bad timing for Jr and NASCAR , i think NASCAR wanted to run as many caution laps as posible to help on the Gas situation ( it never fails when fuel milage comes into pay fans complain ) because every team was 4 to 5 laps short . through in the fact that a pole winner hadnt won a race in like 30 races , Joey was the pole sitter and was starting first on the last restart, plus you have Mark Martin ( i'm also a fan of his ) a hall of famer starting second, if Jr doesnt pit he wins hands down . He had driven by Mark and Joey at will all day. it was no contest . what i"m saying if he just stayed out he wins instead they do the smart thing and pit for gas not knowing NASCAR is planning on keeping fuel milage out of the equation.

I also find it funny that Joey Lagano was a average driver at best until last week all the reports about his ride may be in dout for next year and how he has been a disapointment and only won 1 rain shorten race , never even came close till Pocono on sunday.

its good to see we have some NASCAR fans here but seems we have more people that want to put smart ***** remarks about a sport they know nothing about . Comments are for those who acctually want to talk NASCAR . Funny how some think no one watches NASCAR its only the second most popular sport behind Football .

Easy there, we are just having a little fun. I think you are just a little overly sensitive about your sport.


By the way, I am a fan of switching to fuel injection and I am glad they made changes to the rear spoiler, reduced radiator opening size/smaller radiators to help reduce the amount of tandem drafting.

Relax man we're just messing around. NASCAR is such an easy target for jokes.

Ah this old debate. I doesn't really matter what you call it by pure definition. In the world of tv and marketing it's a sport for all intents and purposes.

But as long as golf, bowling and a handful of other competitions we watch on weekends aren't sports either, I'm cool with not calling it a sport.

I'm not too pleased with the smaller radiators and the openings especially where it is most crucial like Dega and Daytona. By the time you got a good run with someone, you have to break it just so you don't blow your engine. And this is on lap 10.

When you manipulate the car's specs just to manipulate race strategies, I think you command too much control over how the race, drivers and crew chiefs handle the race. They wanted to get them back to pack racing (which is just fine by me), but they can't even pack race anymore due to the smaller radiator hole. Like I said before, these engines aren't overheating on lap 143. Their overheating on lap 10. That is an inexcusable spec to have on such super speedways.

I think next season they will be able to fix the problems with the radiators , remember next year they are going to new bodys on the cars that match the make thy drive . if the bumbers dont line up like they do now they wont be able to push as much , like it was in the car before the COT

What I hate is the swap over to TNT from FOX. TNT has the worst announcers. Only bright spot is hearing from Larry Mac.

But at least so far there hasn't been the love feast for Jimmy Johnson that FOX had.
