2014 NASCAR Thread

Well, he did get reunited with his 66/67 Belvedere GTX at Goodwood. 👍

That's where I got my idea from.

 

[RACECAR]

Well, Danica screen time just got slightly more uncomfortable.

"Well this is the slowest practice ever!" -Wally Dallenbach

I looked at it as a low-speed game of chicken.
12 drivers over 200 mph with 16 minutes left in practice.

Tony Stewart and I think they said Edwards asking NASCAR to stop people from driving slowly.

Wouldn't shock me a bit since the huge packs running slow are a hazard for those who want to go full throttle. Stewart has also been warned by NASCAR for his pit exiting antics.

Not to mention it's only funny for a lap, then it gets boring.

Was the last time they all crashed because of rain Richmond of 2009 when Scott Riggs crashed... Before that was the 02(?) Shootout.

Unbelieveable.

What happened?

 

[LancerEvo7]

What happened?

Rain on the backstretch, everyone hit it and wrecked immediately. About 8 or 9 crashed.

 

[Johnny1996]

Yeah I just saw the replays.

 

[nascarfan1400]

"Oh Mike Bliss!---

OH EVERYBODY!"

 

[Johnny1996]

So the announcers made asses out of themselves on live TV.

Lol Saw that I was just like wtf is goign on.

This slowing down thing is getting so bad, the guy who says "screw it" and runs by himself will get the pole.

 

[Cale]

What's the whole "slowing down" business?

 

[nascarfan1400]

The leading pack gives the second pack a draft, thus giving everybody in that second pack a faster lap than the lead pack.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

My guess is that it is once again a couple packs just logging laps while trying to figure out which pack will run at full speed first. It happened yesterday in the Sprint Cup Practice.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Am I the only one that's bummed that Nemecheck DNQ'd?

 

[RVDNuT374]

What's the whole "slowing down" business?

Something that will result in a severe crash injuring several drivers due to the ridiculous closing rates between packs, forcing NASCAR to return to single-car qualifying for the plate tracks.

 

[GTPorsche]

An easy fix for it... Offer points for pole positions on restrictor plate tracks.

I feel that would just make it worse.

 

[Cale]

A way to fix it would be to line up by Average speed over say 4-5 laps.

I have a feeling there's one other person here...

 

[meek]

I have a feeling there's one other person here...

don't even know why "Last Row" Joe got an almost full-time ride in the first place...

-he's slow (look what Moffitt, a rookie, and Jeff Burton, who's 4 years younger yet is about to retire, did with the same car at Dover and Vegas, respectively)
-he's old
-he's not even scoring points since he's registered in NNS and/or Trucks

_____

Tomorrow might be the last real chance to make the Chase for drivers like Vickers, McMurray, Truex Jr, Almirola, Mears, Danica, Gilliland... (I'd put Ragan but he's gonna have a tough time being in Top-30 in points, he's 64pts behind as of now)

Isn't it only the number 66 being shared, but the cars are fielded by dif teams depending on who's in the car?

This.

What?

 

[Cale]

Burton and I think Moffit drive a car prepared by MWR, while FRJ drives a car prepared by... some other team. They share the number 66.

Ah, okay.
