2022 NASCAR THREAD

They have to be top 30 in points as well.

 

Yea he was looking solid at atl

 

No, there's another prerequisite of being in the top 30 or so. People forget to mention that requirement when they discuss Kyle Busch in 2015. Keselowski will be fine in terms of points. Most of the cars down there aren't running full schedules, let alone running well. Now, getting in via a win or even points are a lot more difficult.

 

Makes you wonder if it ever went through post race inspection.

 

He'll also be docked 10 playoff points. He can make that up by winning 10 stages or getting a few wins, but still.

 

I think the 10 Playoff points come into effect after the Playoffs start is what I read. He loses the 10 points if he gets in once the Playoffs start.

 

Correct. But, basically, without winning stages or races, he's already in the red.

 

BigTime LOL

 

Hello Texas. COTA Ready!

 

I completely forgot about my favorite part of COTA last year: all the drivers doing double duty. I miss seeing multiple cup regulars run in Xfinity every week.

 

Although, the amount of cautions in truck practice (and looking to be Xfinity practice) isn't something I'm looking forward to. I remember Larry Mac stating the average caution at COTA last year was 27 minutes long.

 

already a red flag in xfinity practice

 

another one... lolz

 

Yeah, I don't think anyone has a full lap yet. Between the two practices, there was only one I've seen that was legit (blown tire in trucks). Every other one has been a car randomly stopped on track.

 

they need more time I think

 

Yeah, I don't care for the convoluted way they have done practice for 2022.

 

Oh my God, the 66 slid around and got back going again and didn't require a caution

 

Then we have legit debris and wait forever to get a caution

 

That practice session was a disaster

 

The race will be too.
