2015 NASCAR Thread - And then there was 1

[DcrRaikkonen]

With 10 to go? Pull over? Why? He didn't expect Joey to run him over, I was expecting a great finish as the final 20 laps were fun, I was even commending Joey on his driving, then in typical Penske form he threw it all out the window.

Why don't you think from Joey's position

 

[RACECAR]

Its funny because whenever Kyle has been in a position where he's clearly faster then Matt, he just makes the right pass and goes by (Remember yesterday).


Its hard to think from Joey's Perspective when he's the only one this season that's made a pass for the championship like that.

All I can think of is "22 car you have no chill"

 

[ukfan758]

Nascar should revoke the stupid "Have at it boys" gimmick.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

All I can think of is "22 car you have no chill"

But You have to think of why he did it and his car was terrible on the inside. Matt was also blocking him up and down the track...

That hasn't been a thing for years now. Racing like morons will never change though.

If I was in Joey position:

"I've won, I'm in. No need to win."

I'd rather beat a guy straight up and can say with confidence that I had to outrace him.

So dump him?

 

[GTPorsche]

So dump him?

And cry about him blocking, yeah..

 

[ukfan758]

Well I thought it still existed with the move at Mid-Ohio in the summer...

 

[nascarfan1400]

And cry about him blocking, yeah..

I guess it is Logano after all.

This right here is why I despite that move.

Yeah, because blocking someone clearly faster won't cause that to happen.

And yet you expect Joey to slow down *that* much just to not "run over" Matt?

 

[GTPorsche]

Not like NASCAR has ever discouraged dirty racing.

 

[ukfan758]

It's called courtesy and clean racing...

 

[nascarfan1400]

It's called turning to the left more than the guy in front.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

So dump him?

No it happened because Matt came up and they both hit the wall

 

[Suzumiya]

It's also called winning.

At the end of the day, Logano got a good points lead to not worry about Talladega.

 

[GTPorsche]

No it happened because Matt came up and they both hit the wall

Except no one hit the wall.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Joey could have crossed him over without even needing to lift. He's already in the chase anyways, so I guess he felt like his entitled.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

They did look at joey's right side

 

[nascarfan1400]

He had a good points lead anyways. He can't even extend it, I know your going for a win, but you can't iracing week 13 it

 

[Suzumiya]

Logano's clever. Setting up for Talladega so that if he wrecks he doesn't have to flirt with the elimination line. I always hated Talladega as a deciding race, anyways.

He actually did turn down lol

He was already locked in!

He didn't

 

[Suzumiya]

The points system is super confusing. No one is essentially locked in.

Or are they? I don't know.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

He didn't

Yeah he did they just showed the overhead shot.

 

[Cale]

Half y'all are babies

He was due to the fact he won at Charlotte

 

[Suzumiya]

I hate Logano as much as the next guy anyways
