2014 NASCAR Thread

[ITCC_Andrew]

The fact that you trash NASCAR in a harmless NASCAR discussion thread, and one of the most historic tracks in racing.

If you want to debate NASCAR, make a new thread. Please, leave us to our discussions, if you want to join, fine, just don't trash the sport.

Except, I didn't trash NASCAR. I trashed a track which I've always found "boring" and overrated.

If you take NASCAR out of the equation, and read what I'm actually saying (read: I don't like tracks that don't have elevation change,) you'll understand that my opinion is valid.


Stop defending NASCAR from an attack that it's not under. That's like defending New York from a nuclear bomb while someone's transporting uranium to a nuclear generator in Japan. I'm not attacking NASCAR. I know better than to attack NASCAR in a NASCAR thread - too many fanboys. But, I'm entitled to the opinion of saying that I would not enjoy racing at Daytona, and never will.

An utterly legal Fox channel. Ahem.

Ok. Just wondering.

Just stop. Now. Leave.

Or get banned. I really don't care...

Guys, if you just ignore him, his "valid opinions" just disappear.

In Autosport's live text commentary:

23:18 When this does get going, we'd appreciate it if no one crashed into a jet dryer and no holes opened up in the track. That would be great.

Amen.

But the trolls are so cute and hungry!

He says he's not trashing NASCAR by saying he doesn't like non-elevation changing tracks, yet that's predominantly what NASCAR races on. Am I missing something?

EDIT: @Furinkazen nailed it.

 

[MustangRyan]

I was there for the Pothole 500 in 2010. That was a very long day. I got sunburn during the day, and nearly froze before the race finally ended late that night.

No. He is.

MODS! We need you!

Don't bother trying to make sense of Andrew. There's 2 ways to make him go away:

1. Let him have the last word so he thinks he's won and ignore him.
2. Keep arguing with him and eventually he'll have a hissy fit and leave.

Personally, I'm happy to leave him on my Ignore List, even if it means some of these posts become senseless.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Within the hour I predict that Fox will run Nascar Top Ten Sweatshirts, Top Ten Fan Flags and Top Ten Taco Trailers.

Tracks gonna be grippier and faster as well. 👍

 

[Johnny1996]

Hey FOX! Play NASCAR on FOX Top Ten Crashes so you can make @nascarfan1400 happy by giving him some action.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

For purely selfish reasons the race restart should be rescheduled to when I get home from work tomorrow evening, about 6PM GMT. I then expect demand #48 to come through from 38th to win.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Which means anyone has a chance. Heck, even Larson!

 

[Hottracer88]

Kurt bush old replay there like ooh he mad he mad no he just geting his hat.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Yes please!

I don't. It's too much paperwork for me.

@ITCC_Andrew - If I have no interest in a subject, let say, for example... rally or a particular course that rally uses, I simply don't go into a thread centered on that subject. It would be in your best interest to do the same. I'd hate to ruin a perfectly good Sunday with paperwork.

 

[Jahgee]

The irony of Kurt driving the 41 today after 2002

 

[nascarfan1400]

I don't. It's too much paperwork for me.

Understood.

Enjoy the race.

Thank you, @TB.

Cooler air means more power. Expect a few engines to blow up, as they were all tuned to run during daylight hours. The long cooldown isn't going to help delicate engine parts survive, either.

But cooler air means less overheating, wouldn't that mean longer engine life?
Maybe not.

 

[Furinkazen]

Maybe not.

Not if the engine itself is operating at a much more stressful rate. Outside cooler, yes. Internally, not.

Ah ok. Thank you. 👍

 

[MustangRyan]

I don't know why I keep hearing that this is "the longest rain delay in Daytona 500 history." I'm pretty sure the 2012 Fireball 500 was held on a Monday night because of rain.

 

[Hottracer88]

I think they mean in one day as rain delay then went racing in same day.
