2015 NASCAR Thread - And then there was 1

This is why I rarely watch trucks and Xfinity. Cup drivers always win.

The entry lists go a long way in helping you decide if you should watch or not.

As much as a dork as he is, Suarez is on a roll.

I think it's about time NASCAR starts using air conditioning proper. They can't keep having these races where multiple drivers are getting out on the verge of being sick due to the heat.

We already had a Cup driver faint from heat exhaustion earlier in the year, its not going to make for great TV if multiple drivers just drop after a long race on a hot day with no Air conditioning.

Boo hoo the 54 won. The grandstands looked empty.

 

[RACECAR]

Not that it'll ever convince the higher ups that NASCAR at Indy has worn out its welcome and run its course.

 

[Eva]

I can run a Prius race at Indy and have it be more entertaining.

 

[RACECAR]

The Bahrain Grand Prix was still a better race then the Brickyard 400.

 

[RVDNuT374]

A Power Wheel race would be more entertaining than the guaranteed snoozefest tomorrow.

 

[GTPorsche]

The Brickyard 400 parade is about to begin.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

It's such an important race, it's on NBC Sports!*


* Yeah, yeah. Tour de France but you get my point

 

[GTPorsche]

NBC and Fox are putting races on their cable channels to use them as leverage over cable companies that don't carry those channels.

Good god...the spoilers look ridiculous...

Considering they came up with this package weeks ago, you'd think they would have had one-piece spoilers made instead of a carbon fiber Gurney flap attached to a polycarbonate spoiler attached to a carbon fiber spoiler.

"Yo dawg, I heard you like spoilers, so we added a spoiler to a spoiler so you can generate downforce while generating downforce."

 

[ukfan758]

Boy this race is boring, at least the F1 race this morning had passes after lap 2 . Way to go nascar for making a traditionally boring race even worse and butchering the cars as well.

 

[Jahgee]

I haven't seen anything more or less boring than typical boring Indy so far

But the aero changes were suppose to make the race less boring...

But people are acting like they made it more boring, which they didn't.

All I'm saying is I'd rather see change that has a neutral effect rather than no change

 

[GTPorsche]

It's a negative change since passing is more difficult.

 

[JoshB1984]

Caution for balloon??? Really?!

 

[Dotini]

The balloon comes down! Some stay out, some take 4, and some take 2.

Bowyer's spin ends up taking out Gordon.

That's a first...

 

[Leadfoot530]

That moment you realize Gordon was one of your picks this week.

Well crap...

 

[JoshB1984]

Yay, wreck.... Then Gordon, nooooo!!🤬

 

[Adamgp]

That moment you realize Gordon was one of your picks this week.

Well crap...

I had him on my team this week too.

Sorry Jeff!

 

[Leadfoot530]

Saw a whole nice article about how other teams helped Timmy Hill and the #98 team get a backup car up and running for this race...

...still running 43rd, almost 50 laps down.

Not sure whqt the whole issue with that team, but they aren't getting any sympathy after the canned Josh Wise.

Anybody know what minimum speed is? The #24's moving around awfully sloe.

 

[GTPorsche]

Gordon is going to the garage. Car is too slow and he doesn't want to get in the way any more and cause a crash because of it.

Edit: 98 broke an axle coming to the green at the beginning of the race.

I guess the 24 is staying out. They were talking about getting off the track.
