2019 NASCAR thread

I hope these wreck together on lap 1.

 

I'm a 18 fan but think it might be the evening of the 2

 

Green track, so it's anybody's day. The top 34 all qualified within 1 second of each other.

 

But with this package will they even be able to pass?

 

This. Package. Sucks.

And I'm a Logano fan... I should be happy.

 

Even though my guy took the checkered... I still feel so unfulfilled.

 

He had a fast car .

 

Answer is: NOPE

 

Welp, my kiddo is pleased with the outcome and I’m happy Blaney brought it home with a good run.

 

The thread is silent and a lot has happened here lately....

 

Honestly, I didn't think there was any racing this weekend. I was up in the mountains with no TV. Iowa is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit.
Ross Chastain was a bullet. It was obvious something was up with that truck considering how easy he managed to pass guys up top at Iowa. Wild that NASCAR actually TOOK the win away! I don't think that's happened since 1991! Wild too, that they actually parked a driver for aggressive driving. I don't think they've done that since Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth. I did manage to catch the first stage of the Xfinity race while grabbing supper at B-dubs in G'Ville. THose boys were slipping and sliding. Again, the #1 of Michael Annett looked so good in black & gold trim.

 

The 51 truck had a firecracker in it . I didn't know they took Chastains win away -- wow .

 

Lunch at the shrine Friday, followed by some laps at AMP:

 

Halie deegan is a spoiled bitch from my conclusion.... Yes I watched the laps beforehand but to be cocky for a dump in the last lap is Bullshit... Hope she doesn't cry like a bitch when it happens back to her... Of course she got squeezed putting her car in 3 wide on a short track. That wasn't dirty like she thinks.... But that last lap dump sure was

 

Chastain passed pre race inspection IDK about taking his win .

 

Wait. What? You talking about that deal from three weeks ago where she left the bottom open, and her teammate (also an entitled rich kid) drove in and rather than simply hold his line and take the lead, ran her all the way up to the wall on the previous lap? I dunno man, that's just good, hard racing in my book. It made for a good show, good press, and I imagine her owner is tickled with all the publicity. His business is to prep cars for wealthy up & comers, and this shows how they build competitive, front-running cars. I imagine he'll have a line of customers after this.

Not to be that guy, but totally being that guy, you call out HARD on female drivers for their driving but don't consistently hold the male drivers to the same level of scrutiny. How do you feel about that Sauter/Hill deal last weekend?

 

The Halie thing just happened a couple days ago when she won the race and then she was cocky in the interview.

 

This?

"I knew they were gonna start taking swings on those restarts... All of a sudden he came flying in, I expected him to be a little cleaner and he wasn't, so I had to swing back... we're here for wins, not to finish second or third."

That's racing.

I watched it again it wasn't that bad , it's 58 seconds on Twitter what I saw and I'm a big Kyle Busch fan -- king of the cocky , he can back it up .

 

I consider Deegan to be the female Kyle Busch. She's got skill. She knows what she's doing. Clearly, she's learning setups (like Kyle is a whiz at, too). She has a mouth, and she backs it up on the track.
