Josh Wise wins the AP vote after Reddit flooding of Selection Committee .

 

[GTPorsche]

Is it the same rules as in the first group? Win a race and you make it to the next round?

Yes. Win a race in the round and the driver advances automatically, regardless of their standings in the chase points. Forget who it was on twitter, but they were joking that Kahne would win Charlotte and be a lock for the next round, and then win Texas and be a lock for the final round and win Homestead and become champion.

If the 12 remaining chase drivers were college football teams:

Dale Jr: Ohio State. Rated #1 every week regardless of how good he really is

JJ: Alabama. Really good but lots of shady moves by the crew chief like Satan... I mean Saban

Jeff Gordon: LSU. Really good driver, but questionable race management like Les Miles

Kasey Kahne: South Carolina. Each year is supposed to be his year

Kevin Harvick: Oregon. Warning track power

Brad K: Ole Miss. Partay!!!

Joey Logano: Texas A&M. Could beat anyone anytime

Matt Kenseth: Auburn. He's been sneaky good this year

Denny Hamlin: Stanford. Don't forget about Denny!

Kyle Busch: Southern Cal. Kinda good this year, but no one really wants him to do well

Carl Edwards: Miss State. Doing more with less

Ryan Newman: Oklahoma. Under the radar but steadily good

@NASCAR

Hamlin has 1 (regular season) win, Newman has none. Hamlin had 2 poles to Newman's none.
Hamlin best points results in Chase races is 6th, Newman is 8th.
Yet Newman wins tiebreaker .

I'd rather NASCAR say #31's in the next round because he posted the time first, and they'll consider using 4th decimal -like Indycar does- and more logical tiebreakers in the future.

 

[GTPorsche]

It's who posted the time first, and 4 decimals is too many for Nascar's braintrust to understand.

Milka Duno qualified 34th for the Nationwide race.

Chaos is coming....

Brace yourselves

2 laps in, guess who's in the wall?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

2 cautions within the first 15 laps- great way to start a race.

 

[Johnny1996]

Kyle Busch on the radio!

 

[GTPorsche]

Surprise

Spoiler

Kyle Busch wins lol

Are you not surprised?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Why would I? He only seems to win about every Nationwide race he's entered recently.

Kyle Busch wins lol

Are you not surprised?

It's like watching a high schooler going to the middle school playground and beating up the kids there.

Dale Jr has said he will finish his racing career away from Hendrick Motorsports. His plan is to eventually drop back to the Nationwide Series as owner-driver for a few years, but his Cup career will end at Hendrick. Probably still planning on bringing JR Motorsports up to Cup after those few years but he won't return as one of the drivers for the Cup team.

It's been long rumored that it's what he was going to do.

Greg Biffle won't be getting a Christmas card from Jimmie this year.

 

[GTPorsche]

Biffle's spotter blamed Jimmie for the wreck.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Is this race worth watching, or should I just stick to watching other sporting events?

 

[Johnny1996]

Anyone else feel like 51 would've ended up on his roof if this race was at a faster track?

 

[RACECAR]

I would say you could watch F1, but its under a heavy rain safety car condition so...not sure if better.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

That won't happen because I don't like F1 and can't get into it. It just isn't my cup of tea.

 

[Johnny1996]

Dammit!

 

[GTPorsche]

Tires should not be unraveling. Either the teams are running them on the wrong side of the car, or Goodyear is completely botching the manufacturing process.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

With all of Goodyear's tire woes in the past few years, I wouldn't be shocked if it is poor manufacturing.

 

[GTPorsche]

Possibly a recapped tire Junior said.

If true, Goodyear is being completely reckless.

 

[Johnny1996]

Another tire caution.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Goodyear wants it to be the NASCAR Tire Failure Series.

 

[The Bman]

Harvick with a problem. Might be another tire.

And Kenseth.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Most unpopular Goodyear blowout sale ever
