But if he makes it or not is definitely going to have the teams on the bubble worried. Plus, the brackets everyone filled out at the beginning of the year are going to be destroyed

I'd be worried if I was on the Chase bubble too but honestly none of those guys actually have a legit shot at the title either.

Pretty good

"Tell Martin I'm sorry"

"YOU need to talk to him."

What is this title? Are we really waiting until the 6th version of these yearly threads to make one that lasts more than a year?

You apparently scare people that much.

Throwback to WHO?

Throwback to WHO?

David Pearson 1979

 

[Ganon83]

He needs to run a James Hylton tribute one of these years

 

[Jahgee]

Hopefully we get a Mike Skinner throwback at some point as well

No talk of Brad taking the points lead away from Harvick?
Sure it doesn't mean much but it just goes to show that for as much hype as the Toyotas get, Team Penske can still compete with them

Since when did points/consistency matter in NASCAR? Not since 2003.

Points mattered until 2014, consistency hasn't mattered since then though

Hard to argue that when the points leader gets reset at the chase. Or do they not anymore. I don't know.

You still had to points your way into the 10/win your way into the top 20. After the reset, you still had to get the most points in 10 races

Well, that was unexpected. Also, anyone getting Earnhardt vibes?

EDIT: Its pearson, my bad for not knowing 20th century NASCAR

 

[Ganon83]

Points are still a good indicator of who has been fast all season, even though they really don't mean anything

 

[Jahgee]

Just what the series needed

 

[Blitz24]

Points are still a good indicator of who has been fast and reliable all season, even though they really don't mean anything

FTFY

Also, anyone getting Earnhardt vibes?

Some good days, some days not so good. Vision and balance issues.

 

[GTFan24]

Umm fox... that's not the man who won that race.

Danica led 11 laps at the Glen. That's 22 laps led this year, and another record for a female.

Speaking of Tony, the announcer at a local dirt track I'm at said that Tony Stewart bought one of Brian Clauson's helmets at an auction for, take a guess, $32,000.

Hell of a guy, that Tony.
