2016 NASCAR thread

how would it work to get 2 tickets with one ID?

 

IDK

 

smoke is back, also I Will be at Talladega if any of yall want to hangout/ grill and stuff. what do yall think of smokes return?! I think ill miss Ty Dillon in the 14, since him or Vickers are better than Tony is (Tony is too washed up for sprint cup nowadays)

 

So who do you guys think is lifting the trophy at Richmond? My life-long Gordon fandom aside, I think Elliott could get it done if his run at Bristol is any indicator. It'd be really, really weird to see the #24 car in victory lane without Gordon.

 

I think it'll be....wait for it.... A Gibbs Toyota, specifically Matt kenseth will break his bad luck streak.

 

probably... although, Austin Dillon could come from out of nowhere...

 

stewart racing at rir this sunday.

 

Won't finish top 25. Might qualify top 30.

 

Ty Dillon and Vickers could do better

 

I'll say Stewart finishes top 20

 

He only finished inside the top 20 seventeen times last year, and he was "healthy".

 

Haha, I'm going off the phenomenon that majority of drivers who are injured and come back do well the next race

 

come back and argue that point when they have 3 championship trophys in their house.

 

Still doesn't mean he's not past hhis prime

 

RICHMOND, Va. — Denny Hamlin said that the Sprint Cup Drivers Council wanted to send a message Thursday night with its statement about NASCAR fining Tony Stewart $35,000.

“We don’t want to be so politically correct all the time and filter our thoughts,’’ Hamlin said Friday at Richmond International Raceway. “Sometimes you just want to say what you feel, and we feel you should able to do that at times.

“I think (the statement) was a way for us to send a message back to NASCAR … that ‘Hey, we just believe we should have the right to speak our opinion.’ ’’

Stewart did and NASCAR reacted.

Other than issuing the fine, NASCAR has not commented on Stewart’s plea for officials to address the matter of teams not tightening five lug nuts on each wheel during a pit stop. Hamlin said he’s not heard from series officials since issuing the statement to NBC Sports late Thursday night.

The statement by the Drivers Council marked the first time that the 11-month old group has directed a comment against NASCAR on any matter.

The group was formed last May to work with NASCAR on various issues to make the sport better. As the group develops, it’s expanding its reach.

“It just shows solidarity that we’re all in this together as drivers and we want to have one voice because that one voice is going to be, obviously, a little bit louder and clearer to NASCAR when we go into meetings, talking about where the sport is going to head,’’ Hamlin said.

Some drivers not on the Council said they appreciated the group’s stance defending Stewart and agreeing to pay his fine.

 

The drivers have every right to voice their opinions! NASCAR head shed is questionable at best, and needs to be kept in line somehow, and we know they won't listen to the fans

 

and the 18 car gets bumped out of the way!

 

I have a feeling Edwards will be shuffled back at Dega...

 

Sounds A LOT like my work. They preach safety, yet when you speak out against an action that is unsafe you get in trouble for it.

Best part of the race if ya ask me

He's in the Chase, he won't care too much other than not winning that race. If Kyle is the one who shuffles him back then he better walk a finer line from now on. Have no doubt in my mind Kyle would've done the exact same thing if he was Carl.

 

Kyles gunna shuffle him back, and I'm pulling for the 3 to win a Talladega bc its the 3 at Dega and I'll be there
