Whoever designed that trophy need to be fired.

Agreed. Ugliest trophy I have ever seen.

 

[GTFan24]

The spongebob 400 trophy looked better than that

Edit: Harvick declined an interview, what a shocker

How can he be mad now? Its not his pitcrews fault lol

Probably just frustration over how horrible his luck was today.

IIRC, Kahne's rookie year he didn't win, finishing 2nd...5 times? It may be too soon to call, but that could happen.

Looked it up out of curiosity, and found that Kahne had 13 top five finishes (with 14 top tens) in 36 starts, four poles, and 692 laps led in his rookie season. He went backwards the next year, with only five top fives, but did get his first victory. The next season, his third, he won six races. He has ten wins in the 9.75 seasons since then. He has definitely had a very odd career progression.

Indeed he has.

The hell was up with Brad? He takes off his shades and it looks like he has his eyes closed for the entire interview? Allergies from hell? Burned eyes? Lost a fight?

Lost a fight?

Considering the past few years, I wouldn't doubt this one.

Oh boy

Gotta love that synchronized post

 

[nascarfan1400]

Oh for god's sake. He probably bumped somebody, Laser Inspection post race is stupid.

Guarantee this will be brought up tomorrow on Motorsports Monday

 

[MustangRyan]

He should blame Hamlin for bumping his door after the race was over.

The first (and hopefully, only) time anyone says that

Everything I've read so far says teams didn't oppose it, some wanted it added. Why is it getting worse is what I want to know. How many straight events has someone failed? Seven, eight?

Just got home from Chicagoland Speedway. Pretty good race, 78 had the car to beat almost from the first laps. Harvick looked very strong as well in the beginning but had the pit road mishap and never really recovered.

All in all a fun weekend.

 

[Jahgee]

Following that up

Jr's reaction:

 

[nascarfan1400]

I dont understand what thats supposed to mean. Like they failed but there isnt a penalty?

 

[GTFan24]

 

[catamount39]

Brad Keselowski needs to just shut the **** up none of that made sense/STOP DEFENDING A TERRIBLE SERIES ORGANISER. We all know its broken across EVERY motorsport to have a "post race" inspection, STOP DEFENDING IT.

They failed enough to warrant a penalty, but not egregiously enough to take away the win

 

[nascarfan1400]

So in other words, a "dont do that"

 

[Jahgee]

It definitely affected Jimmie, he fell all the way down to the cut line

How is it broken to have post-race inspection?

 

[MustangRyan]

0.01 degrees out on rear toe for the 78 car.

Stupid. Easily can happen just from bumps on the track. Hamlin dooring him doesnt help either.

It's more with the way NASCAR does it as they seemingly don't take things that can happen during the race into account. For instance something getting knocked .01 degrees out of place.
