2014 NASCAR Thread

[RACECAR]

There's something funny about a NASCAR thread that's as out of control as the post race incidents it likes to discuss.

If we could get back on topic and stop commiting actions detrimental to GTP, that be great.

Now regarding the new Camry,

On one hand, I like how more aggressive it is in its stance. On the other though, I find the front to be abit busy and somewhat disproportionate.​

 

[Blood Eagle]

I think it looks kind of cool but not sub zero so I will vote this one as cool. I like how Toyota is using the win on Sunday sell on Monday strategy that NASCAR is pretty much about. Regardless of anyone's feelings about Toyota being in NASCAR, I think they will do well in 2015.

Well, looks like JGR'll have to reskin Kenseth's Dewalt Camry now since they're using a new car next year

Pretty sure since they are the leading Toyota team, they kinda knew that was happening anyway and those were only show cars.

The recessed vertical fog lights look terrible. The bottom grill is too large. I would probably keep just the lower center grill opening. Other than the front, it's a nice-looking design.

 

[Blood Eagle]

They are tying to make it look like the actual car though.

Dale Jr. won't be playing it safe at Talladega despite being a sure fire elimination he gets into trouble. He's going to be risking it all and going for the win. While that's rather obvious, I find Letarte's comment interesting since he says that those on the good side of the bubble will be stressed more than those on the bad side of the bubble.

Any bets on who's gonna start the big one this weekend?

Then the actual street car is ugly, too.

 

[Blood Eagle]

I agree.

 

[Johnny1996]

I don't have a specific name in mind, but I have a strong feeling that someone's going to attempt to block and misjudge, then mayhem ensues.

 

[RVDNuT374]

Any bets on who's gonna start the big one this weekend?

Either Keselowski or Stewart.

 

[Johnny1996]

Either Keselowski or Stewart.

I wouldn't be surprised if its one of those two. Either Kes is going to seek payback, or Stewart will try to block and wreck the whole field again.

So if you lot have been wondering "Well, what happened to that Ganon guy?", I've been busy at University lately. I have internet access 24/7 but my laptop broke a while ago. I've been using the school computers since which I don't entirely trust enough to log into anything until recently.
I've started up a weekly blog on motorsport.com somewhat based off of my occasional "Thoughts on X" rants on here. Here is this week's if you all were wondering: http://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/finley-factor-three-things-to-ponder-after-charlotte

Austin Dillon will wreck someone. It's gonna happen

 

[Müle]

Dillon will convienently wreck everyone except Newman.

 

[RACECAR]

Austin Dillon will wreck someone. It's gonna happen

And this is based on...?

 

[Furinkazen]

Kenseth Home Depot #15th Anniversary scheme. Bummed they couldn't do a full orange scheme but, oh well.

 

[cnd01]

And this is based on...?

Considering he never gives a micron every time he races, it's gonna happen

 

[Blood Eagle]

Probably the last race for Home Depot as the primary sponsor.

 

[Mudd]

I think Junior and Jimmie will both be fun to watch this weekend. They each know how to race there, and will both be going for broke. I bet if either one of them can avoid being wrecked, that's who's gonna win it. I'm hoping that Junior, Jimmie, and Harvick are all running at the end and one epic battle will occur during the last 10 laps.
As far as "who will cause the big one", I'll put my money on Kes. I'm actually a bit of a fan, but with his recent actions and the fact that he needs to go for broke, I think it's a good bet.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Kes was the reason for a big one at one of the plate races this year. If he causes it, don't be shocked if all hell breaks loose in the pits at 'Dega.

 

[Müle]

And I'm sure the whole thread will cheer if it does…

 

[Jahgee]

Better them fighting in the pits then fighting on the track with cars

 

[cnd01]

Hey, Danica will get a "good jawb" from DW when she stops to avoid the big wreck

 

[Müle]

Better them fighting in the pits then fighting on the track with cars

Well, yeah, that's what I've always said.

But a bunch of angry drivers trying to gangbang Kes will surely elecit cheers from a lot of people here.

...wat.

You seem to be mixing up people's distaste for Keseloski's behavior with bloodlust.

Also, not a image I needed to see

 

[Müle]

I just think it's become the cool and trendy thing to do to openly bash the guy, tis all.

Like how I got tired of the Kyle Busch hate. I don't like him, but I don't insult him every chance I get.

 

[cnd01]

If it weren't for his sponsor, none of us would exist to talk about it, or at least the commercial tells us so
