First time in Gordon's career he's started a season with 4 straight top 10's apparently.

Of course he does it in a season where consistency is pretty much meaningless. Way to set a record non-record there.
 
Sorry for double post, but it's been 17 hours.

  • Human error caused final caution at Bristol: A long and bizarre day came to an unusual finish Sunday night when the caution lights were accidentally turned on from the flag stand and rain then prevented an attempt for a green-white-checkered finish. A person in the flag stand leaned on the manual override switch, turning on the caution lights on lap 499, according to Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition. Six seconds after the lights were turned on, the flag man - seeing the lights on - waved the yellow flag, according to NASCAR's review of the finish. Pemberton said that the flag man can wave the caution flag without a call from series officials in the tower if they see a proper reason. The rain then arrived before the race could be restarted, giving Carl Edwards the victory.
    The caution snafu did cause NASCAR to change the finishing order. NASCAR went back to when the caution lights flashed and froze the field. Pemberton said NASCAR only had to adjust three positions - placing Denny Hamlin sixth, Jeff Gordon seventh and Kasey Kahne eighth. Pemberton said NASCAR will work to make sure the incident is not repeated.(Motor Racing Network), for the transcript of Pemberton's comments, see the NASCAR Press Conference transcript page.(3-17-2014)

Since I said I was going to, here's the points standings with the system I came up with
  • Points per race - 43-1 (No points for a race you finish less than 50% of)
  • Bonus Points - +5 for the pole, +3 for leading the most laps, +7 for leading more than 50% of the laps in a race
  • Chase Picks - All who win a race plus those in the top 10 in points that don't have a win
  • Chase Seeding - +1 point for every place over 10th in the points you were pre-reset, -1 for every place behind 10th you were pre-reset, +1 point for every win
  • Eliminations - If you fall more than a race and a half behind the leader (So 65 points), you are eliminated from the Chase and your points are reset to pre-Chase totals plus what you have earned in the Chase

Bold - Race Win
Italic - Finished >50% so no points were awarded.
Blank - DNQ/DNE
Green - Has won and is locked into Chase

In other words Jesus took the wheel :sly: and Buddha helped.

They got lucky that they could "say" rain was the cause, to bad the truth came out. Or they got so use to throwing phantom cautions they accidentally slipped this time. OH NASCAR you never cease to amaze me in a bad way.
 
This is an incredible read. Everything you could possibly want to know about NASCAR is in this, even how they distribute the points fund at the end of the season.
 
:lol: Dogecoin and the NASCAR subreddit are trying to raise 55K to sponsor Josh Wise (Donation Link)

I think the reason why Chevy didn't finish on the podium is because I broke my superstition. See below for details:

In order for a Chevy driver to make it to the podium, I shave sometime after a race is over and don't shave again until after the next race is over, going a full week without shaving. On Friday, I wear a shirt of some form of motorsports.

Wear a motorsports shirt on Friday, I did not do this past Friday.

Do the ritual again this week to see if this truly is the case.
 
Maybe Josh Wise in his Dogecoin Chevy will get on the podium ;) (Except he won't be the Dogecoin Chevy unless we donate and sponsor him)

Every time I blink at least thirteen times in a single day, I don't get mauled by a Bengal tiger the next day.

If I pop my fingers, hands and neck in that same order everyday, It keeps escaped convicts away from my house (as well as keeps the rain away).
 
Fan vote has started. I'm actually voting this year. Voting for Larson. I think he's got the best chance of anyone not in to pull it off.
