2013 NASCAR Thread

[RVDNuT374]

Take a guess who won the race: Jimmie "Superman" Johnson, which should send this thread into another argument about legacies among other things.

There's no need to add fuel to the fire.

 

[ICEYOU]

They do need to fix the clean air issue on the GEN 6 cars. Junior should have won today's race regardless of Jimmie's talent.

Yes there is

Bestwick should have signed off just now with: "Next stop for the series is Kansas in one week, now enjoy the sounds of dying cats to a backing track of bad music."

 

[Wilbur]

Look at how interested everyone is when a Cup driver wins a Nationwide race. *yawn* *zzzzzz*

You are missing the point of what I was saying but I understand the point of that.

Yeah, that sounds real... exciting.

Brad Keselowski said it during his MRN interview, " You just can't pass in these cars." The racing this year has been all about clean air and track position. Every time NASCAR tries to make the racing more exciting, they fail COMPLETLY, I'd say bring out the 1995 cars and let them race those.

As for Joey winning the Nationwide race by 15? seconds....What? That's just dumb really. I'd say if you're running a full cup season, you can only race in 5 Nationwide series races. Give the Nationwide series to the Nationwide series drivers... It just makes sense.

Joey has only done 4 nw events this season and won them all...

The Gen 6 car is the biggest disappointment this season. Remove the front splitter, Reduce the spoiler, Remove the retarded shark fin Raise the quarters panel, Reduce a little bit the horsepower and Increase minimum ride height a bit. Nascar should do this, but they won't

I've posted this several times, but NASCAR needs to reduce the front and rear downforce by an equal amount while the mechanical grip (suspension, tires) is allowed to be increased by that same amount. This will drastically decrease the aero dependency of these cars, leading to better racing. 👍 Unfortunately, NASCAR doesn't give a 🤬 about its fans or a healthy future for the sport, so we'll continue to see more of the same racing until they declare Chapter 7 Bankruptcy within the next decade. 👎

It's finally happened guys.

Did not see that coming.

 

[ICEYOU]

Did not see that coming.

As long as it's not bestwick leaving we should be good.

 

[Adamgp]

I wish it was Bestwick getting canned.

 

[Furinkazen]

Did not see that coming.

What did he do at Kentucky?

 

[Müle]

I wish it was Bestwick getting canned.

Are you crazy?

What did he do at Kentucky?

Called Ryan Blaney winning the race when he was only taking the white flag.

 

[Adamgp]

Are you crazy?

No, I find him to be extremely annoying.

 

[RACECAR]

Wait, you find him annoying? Not the guys who:

-Can't remember where most of the field is (Marty Reid)
-Have some sort of fascination with Justin Allgaier and can't remember anyone's else's name other then him (Vince Welch)

 

[Adamgp]

He does seem well informed, at least.

I just find him annoying.

 

[ICEYOU]

Bestwick is a future hall of famer plain and simple. He join chris economacky in there one day.

yes!!!

I honestly don't want to watch NASCAR anymore. I think when I get that feeling of wanting to watch some good racing, I'll just go to a local dirt track ( Sumter Speedway probably.) Just tell me when Mike Helton leaves and I'll start watching again, but for now, I'm going to keep watching dirt track races. 👍

Unless he just passes away, I doubt you will see him step down anytime soon.

 

[Müle]

See you next Sunday.

 

[Adamgp]

I don't think Helton is the problem. It's that idiot Brian France that has been royally screwing up the sport since he took over.

 

[The Bman]

Just looked on the NASCAR app on my phone and Kyle Larson will be making his Cup debut with Phoenix Racing at Charlotte and will race at Martinsville as well.

As AdamGP says, its not so much Mike Helton as it is Brian France that's screwing things up. Mike Helton's been there since Bill France Jr was at the helm so he hardly has anything to do with these decisions.

Also, will you be watching any ARCA races (whenever they actually air)?

So that team is still going to be Pheonix Racing?

They are til the end of the year technically since everything is there and Finch is helping run the team too (he didn't want to get out for good, just not be at the wheel of the team anymore). Justin is in it this weekend but I am curious if it will be a true Pheonix car or an EGR with 51's points/number.

 

[Hernan04]

Here is Kasey's #5 for the next season!​

And everybody goes Pink! (Starting at Kansas)​

Landon's #40.

Sweet's #5 Great Clips.

Regan's #7 Fire Alarm.

Buescher's #34 FOE. (Not pink )

Vickers and Kenseth's Pink #20 DG.

Dillon's #3 Advocare SPARK.

Elliott's #11 Onemain (For Charlotte).

Danica's #10 GoDaddy (More like a watermelon than a Pink colour )

 

[Wilbur]

How the heck does Danica of all people not have a PINK car! It's like some weird color of orange/pink.

The pink will wear off pretty fast with all that but I wish other cancers got more hype!

 

[Chqr]

GoDaddy love their lime green.
