2016 NASCAR Discussion ThreadNASCAR

Well, there's man cases where a team that was on top of the mountain reaching a desperate low. Petty Enterprises did it twice, I want to say Holman-Moody became Yates, then that was absorbed by Roush, though in the past if a down giant was taken over/ sold off, the owners at the time were very old and possibly looking to be done with it all, Holman-Moody and Junior Johnson come to mind.

In other words, I can see it. Penske being the chief Ford team, operating like Hendrick does with the 21 and SHR, with the only Roush nod at the track being the engines, and I don't know if THAT would happen.

Robert Yates bought Ranier-Lundy Racing in 1988, they merged with Richard Petty Motorsports at the end of 2009.

Right, right. I remember the last bit now. I though he'd taken over Holman, oh well I shouldn't be posting unless I know something.

Excellent point made by Kyle Petty just then.

Kyle Petty putting Brad K. in his place regarding Brads comments on Matt DiBenidettos possible concussion....I love it. Now BK thinks he's a damn doctor , give me a break.

 

[GTFan24]

I um.... what is this Shotgun thing?

Some sort a quiz show with Rutledge Wood that probably won't last more than 2 seasons tops...

This is looking like the June Indycar race again.

 

[Dylan]

Crew members are gonna get to come out and uncover the cars in 5 minutes.

[catamount39]

Ahhhhhhhh yes. Here we go.

Interesting to note, with the way NFL ratings have been getting stuffed (partially because the prime time games have been...rather bad) race may still be fair game against SNF.

 

[BKGlover]

I doubt it, I'm glad they are gonna get it in tonight though.

That starting grid music.

It's Green. Green-yellow start.

This track is such a pain in the *** to dry.

Between the asphalt acting like a sponge and having the start of massive pot-holes, It almost perfectly is an indication of the average Texas road. Yes, the vast majority are generally 🤬.

GREEN GREEN!

Edit: Damn Bowman has a run!....Christ he got loose!

 

[BKGlover]

Competition Caution...WHAT THE EVER-LOVIN' 🤬 WAS THAT TREVOR!?!

 

[Dylan]

Never seen a guy back-up on pit road with 20 cars around him...

 

[GTFan24]

WHAT THE ACTUAL 🤬 BAYNE?!

 

[BKGlover]

I've always assumed that was just something you didn't do, mainly because of the chance of...well what he was a few inches from about five times. Miss it, go around again.

 

[kolio]

Just wondering why NASCAR allowed them to have an extra man of the wall.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Kevin Harvick GAINED a spot on pit road!?!?!?!?!?

Has Hillary Clinton dropped out of the Presidential Election yet?
