2019 NASCAR thread

I'm feeling so whelmed for the finale. Can we just skip to Speedweeks 2020 already? I haven't watched a race in its entirety all season. Caught the last stage of Phoenix and aside from restarts, yikes was it a snoozer, which is par for the course on this season and the high-downforce 550hp package. I know they're doing it to attract other manufacturers, but it's a big loss for competition. I understand why so many stars have walked away over the past several years.

 

What I hate is how the announcers act like this is all skill this year... but the on track product says otherwise... pit crews making the race shouldn't be a thing...

 

Yeah it's like why focus on driver skill when everyone can get a participation trophy... and they wonder why people are pissed off

 

I think the 18 could have beat the 11 yesterday on 4 tires but the 11 would have been out.

 

Yes sir. I said the same thing. That would have kicked Denny out and fagano in. That would have pissed Toyota off for sure.

 

yep, def a team order there. Get to 2nd place and block.

 

I was kinda shocked how fast the 2 went passed the 22 , I thought maybe he would stay behind him and block .

 

I look for all 4 of them to be very close to the front .

 

Harvick has the best chance... with 3 Gibbs cars in their resources are spread much thinner than SHR with only 1 car in.

 

I'll take the gun with three bullets sir.

 

I'll take the (kinda long shot I guess ) 18 .

 

Heart wants Harvick.

Head says Truex or Denny.

Kyle has coasted in on stage points alone. Not his year.

 

Agree. He has had a good year and I'd like to see him win his first. The new crew chief has really made a difference. But then again I am a little bias since I work for the sponsor.

 

Watch them have prepared this car from day one of the playoffs and that explain the lack of performance as of late.... one can hope right?

 

I say either Kevin or Denny for the championship. Chase Elliot for the race win, he's pissed off, he's going to show them, they are lucky he had 3 awful races.


Number 9 wins it all next year.

 

No way chase wins it. When do you ever see him drive the high line against the wall every single lap?

 

The 19 is coming loaded for bear. If the 4 wins it will be because he laid back and the other 3 have problems at the front like JJ won his last one. With Chevy not having a car in it I expect the 9 to come ready to compete. Denny has a lot of momentum but Denny or his crew will fuck it up. The 18 will come up just shy because of karma. I can see the 11 & 18 taking each other out at some point on a late restart while the 19 calmly drives away.

If the 4 wins it you can bet that car will be questionable! The roof might be caved in, something. The performance is just not there for SHR overall so I do not see them having a chance against three well prepared JGR cars and Cole Pern DNGAF what the 11 & 18 are doing. That car has been complete with JGR as a whole for several weeks and sitting in the 19 side of the shop for him to finesse.

If I was the 11 I would not have done a bunch of burnouts last week. That car would have been headed to this next race after swapping everything but the chassis.

 

LOL, dude. I know you support your boy but the performance has just not been there. I have no dog in the fight so I am not knocking any one of the four. I mean my dog is wadded up into the wall or promptly breaking major parts. I think the MF is actually using Napa parts or some shit!

 

I was just thinking it would be kinda funny if the 22 wins on Sunday . Go 18 ...
