So I think this Xfinity race is exactly what NASCAR imagines when they try to improve racing by using tracks have progressive banking. It's not bad, but it looks like exactly like a plan that was not deviated from, 2 grooves, and they just go side by side for laps on end.
 
Ignore this.

I didn't make it :lol:, got it from /r/NASCAR


Hey, mine wasn't much better. Kinda suprised I didn't put Cheese Grater of Death down.

On another note, Jeff Gordon says he will not drive at Michigan due to a prior commitment. And now everybody on Facebook is criticizing him for not "being in the car however long Jr needs him." He's supposed to be retired for christ sakes; cut him some slack!

This is why I'll never be a full fledged Jr fan. He seems like a genuinely great guy, but his fan base, mainly the "Jr is love, Jr is life" croud, are just so incredible stuck up.
 
A Cup driver wins boo hoo..... Oh wait, not Kyle Busch nm
Well its the only time this guy will see victory lane. Not surprised that he won when someone else ran outta gas. This chump has never earned anything in his life. But did like the stripper celebrating with him.

Erm, have you been hands over ears going LALALALALALA the past few years, because he has won more than this race, not a lot I'll admit, but he does win things. He could do really well in fact, the problem is he'll probably be stuck at RCR his whole life which means he won't achieve much unless Childress can organize some sort of miracle comeback.
 
I didn't even need to look up the race results, when post #7277 made it all too easy to guess.

Though when I did, I found it concerning that this race marks the NXS debut of Gray Gaulding. 👎
 
Yes, as a matter of fact, he has.
0 wins in 107 starts. Now I'm sure someone will point out his championship. That was impressive seeing he didnt even win a race that year. Or his truck victories. Career nobodies like Mike Skinner Ron Hornaday and Todd Bodine can win there. And like the other gentleman stated, he is stuck at RCR which is somewhere in between BK Racing and Front Row. Front Row occasionally can get a win

While he hasn't won, he has been consistent this year and is 13th in points.

Seriously? What have you been watching?

RCR Cars are 11th, 13th & 22nd
BK's cars are 30th and 36th
FR's are 29th and 31st.

So again, you would appear to have had your hands over your ears going LALALALALALA the past few years.
 
Ironic that Dillon's 2012 NNS wins are being completely overlooked, by the way.

Also in his championship year, he was the highest placing series regular 4 times, which might not be much for an RCR driver even in a comparatively deep talent pool, but of course titles won with consistency don't matter even though the point system heavily encourages that. :rolleyes:
 
Is anyone else a little disappointed about the results of the "Grip Strip" or whatever you wanna call it? I was hoping to see all the cars on the bottom line the whole race, but it only took about 28 laps before everyone gravitated towards the top and stayed up there. I mean the Xfinity race was still exciting, but I was hoping we'd get to see the old Bristol again...

It wore down after the Truck race on Wednesday and all the practices/qualifying for XFinity & Cup, they put more on for the Cup race tonight
