2017 Nascar Thread

Okay. Your opinion I can respect that. I will not defend my experience in the sport as I have no need to. You see it whatever way you like. My perspective is that Joey used his broken teammate as a pick on the last lap and I can't think of one driver that would have done anything different than what Kyle did. Well other than Jr because he could give a fuck but then Joey drove his car in so deep he knew he was going to wash up the track and pretty much through Kyle. I don't really care that he did. Fuck I was livid when Kyle did it to Jr years ago at Richmond but that was to win the race. Just own the fuck up to it. That's why I hope Kyle puts him in the wall all season. You guys do realize you are defending the guy that turns guys all the time. At least when Dale Sr. said "just racing" he said it with a shit eating grin and everyone knew he did it. Or he would own up to it. Joey wants to be a complete prick on the track but not own the role. That's all. Oh and I fucking hate Penske so my opinion is skewed but at least I can admit that and have been around the sport long enough to admit it. I was a lifelong Dale Sr fan. Then when he head butted turn 3 at Daytona I picked up Jr because I don't like to enjoy the season. I like to curse and suck at winning.

 

Here, let's pretty up this place a little bit, eh?

 

We have 2 very different perspectives. I was there at that Richmond race when Kyle turned jr, was I mad? Hell yea! But looking back Kyle did what he had to do to win despite the Jr. Winningless streak for the sport. Loved it.

As far as Las Vegas goes, joey and Kyle were racing side by side for at least 10 laps, when the 2 car was slowed and Kyle dove down and hit Logano to avoid, Logano already had it in his mind he was gonna make that pass. Would you have let up and gave up 2-3rd spot after racing that hard so long? Fuck no, so penalizing Logano for doing exactly what he was supposed to do for him, his team, and his sponsors is ignorant and no one else would've done it either. Kyle was mad and he should be, but Kyle playing the victim is atrocious and that's why I dont like him no matter how good of a driver he is.

 

Well you Ford boys enjoy. I guess you are due a decent season every decade or so. Hopefully the bowties will figure there shit out before Homestead.

 

Bow ties are getting led by Larson and Elliott, its damn time for the young guns and I'm ready. Blaney is starting this year off right as well, we are seeing the future and I like it!

 

Good deal. I figure Joey could have given a little room going around Brad. But again different opinions and that's cool. Enjoy the race tomorrow.

 

No kidding. Fords haven't won jack squat since like Dale Jarrett? Oh wait, Kenseth in '03(?). I can't keep it straight anymore.

 

That I'm not sure of, hard to tell if there was really any room to give. I've watched it over and over for that reason and didn't see any room Logano could've given going into the corner after he was already losing the car.

 

I have high hopes for Larson. He too, is a kid whose dad did a lot for him. He's also done some nasty dumps (see: Daytona late model race on the backstretch a couple years ago). I really look forward to Larson, Blaney, Bowman, and Elliott succeeding. Hopefully they'll share wins and not just one guy dominate.

 

I agree. I could not stand Gordon but I do really like Chase. I do like Blaney but can't pull for a Ford. I wish Jr would just hang it up. His hearts not in it and it's getting embarrassing.

 

Not sure of bowmans future, decent driver though.

 

Haha! JR will turn it around this weekend, top 7 for sure it's a good track for him. I used to be a "all chevy" NASCAR guy but after dale sr. I gave that up and it really opened my world up to watching a full field compete and just pick my favorite style driver

 

No I was talking about giving Kyle room to get around Brad then continuing through the corner with Kyle on the outside. Kyle would have done the same if roles were reversed I just think he would have owned it a little better. It would have made corner entry pretty tight but who knows. I think Joey figured he had solved it and had a little tantrum entering the turn.

 

I would've loved to listen to both spotters in that scenario because I dont think they knew how slow brad was, I'm sure that audio is out there though to get a really good feel for how much time they had to react.

 

Yeah I figure Alex will get picked up by a sub par team. It's a shame because he is a good driver. The best in the sport is probably sitting in some POS car and we will never know. I always liked Casey Mears, I hated to see him get dumped for Richards brats but I do like Ty more than Austin. I swear that MF is legally restarted. Byron will be the next to move up for HMS.

 

And reminder for tomorrow and recap from my picks last week, I think this week is a little harder.

 

Lol, yeah that would have been a fun scanner to have been on.
