2014 NASCAR Thread

[Carbonox]

I'd rather have 3 or 4 total road courses and one or two of the tracks that are twice on the schedule only get one race (Kansas, Charlotte, Texas)...


I thought fuel tanks were only 18 gal (about 68 L) ? not saying you're wrong since I read each fuel can was 10 gal. Can't NASCAR make sure rules are followed?


spotters must have a harder job on road courses.

Some of SHR #4 pitcrew needs to be replaced...

I'd definitely reduce those cookie cutters, they don't need more than 1 date in a season. Instead I'd prefer seeing more shorter tracks, those are traditionally a blast.

Also with the quality of road courses in America, I'm surprised there are no more than those same 2 all the time in SC. Road America, Mid-Ohio, Montreal and the like would potentially be far more entertaining.

Is there a way I can watch this on anything other than TNT? IMO their coverage is awful.

I must say, I prefer DW & the crew over at Fox. Less plastic

How about:

Each race run once, except for short tracks, and plate tracks
Add another plate race
Add 2 more road courses
Add more short tracks.

I'd love to see these boys let loose at C.O.T.A

At least if he reached into his pants he'd feel a pair. Not like Ambrose.
Good to see Jeff in form. He's going to need some top shelf painkillers for his back after the race though

Heh. It's the Duck, the spazzer, and the rammer for the win!

Sounds a lot like the end of a GT race.. Lol

 

[Pete05]

Look up soft in the dictionary & this is what you'll see

 

[nascarfan1400]

Class act by Jeff by actually hitting the brakes in T11 at the end there. Good effort. Well done Carl 👍

****!

So close!

 

[LancerEvo7]

Well Mule should be happy.

One of these days, Carl is going to face plant...

Like it or not, Roush has been almost completely silent this year. Fact.

Well he proved that as well in 2011 too and Roush weren't exactly strong then (nor were RCR) and in the past few years that's been the case. Yes Biffle was leading the points (2012?) before the chase, but had no win and then in the chase failed to do anything to even win or replicate his pre-chase form. The fact is Edwards makes that team look good still, but it's so limited people can figure out like you said, that it's all Edwards and his team rather than a great product from Roush.

Sorry... !

Impressive win seeing how the Chevys seemed again above the competition.

Either that or need pins & a moon boot

All the significant Toyotas - Hamlin, Busch, Kenseth, Bowyer and Vickers were all spun out or whacked in by other cars.

But 2000% more redneck.

Tony Stewart is above the law!

Too many speeding penalties, Smoke, I fear to see your police record

Admittedly, I do too.

Larry McReynolds is hilarious though

"Peets"

Because networking software that runs GTP only allows for one.

Now at Save Mart, we have deals on lightly used Toyotas. Buy one and get a free gallon of milk.

Let me just say for the record that road courses are one of the places where great talent can overcome mediocre equipment. That win is much more Edwards than Roush.

Road Course and Superspeedway races are the races where the driver is more important than the car

That's what makes it awesome.

One could say the same about short tracks too. Heck, Ken Schrader had pretty good runs there in BAM Racing equipment.

Oh boy, there's a blast from the past.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

stop being American-centered, I'm from Europe and I'm telling you more road courses would help NASCAR popularity.

Wow what a leap, considering almost every year we go over what would make NASCAR better hell we even have a thread called "How I would improve NASCAR". In which I've said road course racing is one of the things I'd like improved. So not sure how I'm some "Murica" type or nationalistic in view point, even though I never said anything bad. Problem is if you knew about NASCAR or were willing to educated yourself on the structure, you'd easily begin to see why we probably wont get more road course racing.

Also how are you so sure, that interest would increase, or that NASCAR want to take cup to a global scale like they've tried in the past? Is there more attendance at the two road course events vs the others?

I had to look at what Busch was, I thought it was the Busch bros that got me quite confused lol

Okay...

Do you plan on elaborating or just laughing with yourself? Cause you'll find most of us expect that over the hysterics you've shown.

Gibbs not ruling out 4th car, but M&M-Mars sponsorship remains with Kyle Busch next year.

Edit: The Cup series should at least race the same road courses as the Nationwide Series.... but I wouldn't want them to remove Sonoma from the schedule either.
