2014 NASCAR Thread

Very confused. Why was last year's race finished without a caution with a wreck that took place in 1&2, but this year it finishes under caution with a wreck in 3&4?



Careful, you'll summon the troll from his absence.

His profile is under quarantine, so I think he was banned

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

I don't understand the reason to throw a caution flag when they are racing to the checker. Especially when the wreck was in the last corner. Let them race to the line.

Mark Martin must've pushed the button.

BTW, for all the cars Dillon wrecked, looks like he'll get a Top 10 out of it. 👎

None of it was on purpose. He got loose the first time, had little to no time to react the second time.

 

[MustangRyan]

Clearly the spotter would say, hey there's a wreck in front of you if you are blind and can't see it, might want to slow down. And they've done it in the past.

If they don't throw a caution someone will try to drive through it to gain another spot over someone that slows down. With a caution, all incentive to speed through a wreck is removed.

Yeah, I don't think there's going to be any summoning happening.

Doesn't change the fact that they have allowed it in the past.

Things was saw this week:
<--- Toyota's fly the best.
Toyota's have strong roofs
Jewnyer is back.
Jewnyers in the chase.
Austin Dillon can't drive
Austin Dillon is hated by 16 drivers (those he took out tonight)
6 Big ones (Practice, Duel 2, and the 4 In the 500)
Rain is wet.
Danica still crashes.
Hamlins winning, in fact, is not all he does
Ambrose is better at ovals.


Not bad, Pheonix won't top it though. Guarantee you that...

Watch, I'll even tempt fate by saying the name aloud.

@ICEYOU, No Time became Two Time at the Daytona 500

 

[nascarfan1400]

Didn't they used to black flag the idiot who wipes out the field 3 times over? 💡

How many wrecks did Vickers have cause at Martinsville a few years ago?

 

[nascarfan1400]

According to radar, it's now raining in Daytona... Talk about cutting it close...


@MustangRyan I think about 3 or 4 no black flag for him either...

Maybe I should join NASCAR just to crash everyone I don't like... I'd still get a top 10 out of it

That doesn't mean they were right to do it then.

1. Again, none of the contact was intentional. Got loose once, had no time to react the 2nd time. Get the hell off of him already. Also, that was only two times he got into someone and caused a wreck.
2. If you've watched enough races in any series, that should be a established fact.
3. Hardly new to anyone really. Its a simple fact that either she'll be in the way or in the wall.

 

[GTPorsche]

I don't think Danica was at fault for herself crashing out either. I doubt she was going to get a top-10 out of it though.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Well I'll just say, I'll be very happy when Larson, Newman, Ambrose, and others give Dillon hell at Pheonix...

 

[saveimageas]

Not a lot Marcos could do when you have MONGOLS crashing up ahead.
Can't begrudge Jr though.

 

[Blitz24]

Because Dillon did it on purpose. And Newman going to intentionally wreck his teammate? Can't see anything other than that being an AWESOME idea if you don't want to keep your ride.

 

[RACECAR]

Never said she was, just said she's either in the way of others or somehow in the wall and in today's case, she was in the wall.

Well I'll just say, I'll be very happy when Larson, Newman, Ambrose, and others give Dillon hell at Pheonix...

You can stop with this delusional idea that he intentionally wrecked people now.

Yeah, screw all that major sponsorship money or the chance at trying to compete for a championship.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

What about Bristol last year as well

Who is begrudging Junior?

 

[RACECAR]

Last I checked, that rule only applies in the lower series and not in the top three series.

Edit: Also, I believe Kurt Busch is the only SHR car that finished the race in somewhat a finished state (as in no mechanical/fuel issues or getting wrecked). Definitely the save of the night with all that speed.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Last I checked, that rule only applies in the lower series and not in the top three series.

So I can PIT Dillon, send him into a blowover, watch him barrel roll as I flip him off, and NASCAR would be like "'Ain't care."?

(I would never do that to Dillon if I had the chance, just using it as an example. I don't like Dillon, don't want to kill him...)

 

[CodeRedR51]

That doesn't mean they were right to do it then.

Well maybe they just wanted to lock in the winner. In any case, just because I don't like it doesn't mean I have to agree with you.

Pretty sure if you did that NASCAR would throw you out of the race. May be lucky not to face legal fines too so I guess everyone should be glad you and your GTA style driving will not be on a racetrack anytime soon.

Oh yes because Junior wouldn't have won without that caution.

Am I seriously the only one that likes Austin Dillon?

I don't hate the guy, I just don't like Childress

Lol, but no black flag...

Oh I'm sure they would penalize you (Pass-Through, Stop & Hold, possibly stop scoring you), but I don't recall them applying the three strikes rule like they do in the lower level.

Am I seriously the only one that likes Austin Dillon?

I like him too and actually kept up with him for a while, which is why I don't understand the hate about him "Only getting this because of his grand dad" when he hasn't at all been rushed to the top level.

 

[CodeRedR51]

They didn't know that at the time.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

They didn't know that at the time.

Considering the caution came out halfway between coming out of turn four up to the tri-oval and he had a good gap and they were still at full speed. And you can see that they're at probably 3/4ths throttle when he's yelling about the win he had it. This isn't as if they called it on the damn back stretch.

I'm sure the replay is up at this point if you are suffering short term memory loss.
