2015 NASCAR Thread - And then there was 1

[RACECAR]

Nah, Hendrick did it with Terry Labonte and Gordon in '95-'96

Yeah but Roush was the most recent team to pull that off. So the most times its been is two and its happened twice. Not quite ready to confirm illuminati yet, but its damn close.

Ouch....

Kurt Busch fastest in practice. He is on a mission.

Confirmed.

P1 for him in Qualifying.

 

[JMoney]

SHR takes the front row!

 

[CodeRedR51]

If Kurt wins the championship...

Whoa now. The guy was fastest in practice and you act like he's going to dominate the season. (obviously got the pole after you posted) Let's wait a few races...

To be fair, he only needs 1 win to guarantee himself a shot at the championship.

While true, I'm sure everyone here knows my stance on the chase system.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Moffitt to the #55 again, Vickers has more blood clots reportedly.

Poor guy can't catch a break. That has to be frustrating for him.

I know I posted it a year or two ago, but again, this reminds me so much of Robert Yates Racing. They haven't quite stooped down to the Kvapil/Gilliland level (no offense to them) yet, but they're slowly but surely becoming more and more uncompetitive. It's always sad to see teams that were good in the past die a slow death, but it inevitably happens at some point for every team.

Usually I don't like Greg Buffle, but I actually kinda feel bad to hear him say that. It just exudes Defeat to me. As much as I've said Roush has no chance, even I wasn't at the point of putting them that way. Very sad.

A few years ago, Carl Edwards lost the series championship to a tiebreaker. Make me wonder whether Roush's downward slide could be pinpointed to that very moment.

Teams come and go. Jack has been in this series for quite a long time now. I wonder how much control he has over the team.

Probably too much

 

[cnd01]

Probably too much

I have no idea if it's him being old and the sport being past him or if John Henry doesn't know what it takes on his side

 

[GTPorsche]

Daniel Swearez.

 

[RACECAR]

Boy, that 88 car has more skew then most sprint cars.

 

[Suzumiya]

Honestly, I'm hoping for a Harvick West Coast sweep.

 

[cnd01]

I'm cheering for Kurt again today

 

[GTPorsche]

Brian Vickers will be out for at least 3 months.

 

[JMoney]

Tony Stewart has better odds to win than Bowyer and Biffle. Not that that really means anything...

 

[Blitz24]

Harvick is going to win this.

 

[Jahgee]

didn't even touch him

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Here we go again. Debris caution where they actually show the debris.

 

[GTPorsche]

A little less Harvick, please.

 

[Blitz24]

Hornish has become a debris now.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Hornish just got Bayne'd thanks to spotter error.

 

[RACECAR]

A little less Harvick, please.

And a little more action.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Okay. Who put Mercedes engines inside Kurt and Harvick's cars?

Myself and @kogunenjou have been discussing this in a chat.

Also, Chris Buescher, in his debut, is currently 22nd and ahead of all of his actual Roush teammates, even though he's in "worse" equipment.

 

[JMoney]

I'm really surprised Edwards hasn't been doing better. In their first seasons at Joe Gibbs, Hamlin, Kyle and Kenseth all had really good runs. Edwards almost seems worse than he was at Roush right now.

 

[GTPorsche]

Carl has struggled all weekend, and until Ragan spun, he was doing pretty solid.
