2015 NASCAR Thread - And then there was 1

[OutlawQuadrnt]

How bad would it look on NASCAR if Kyle Busch did end up winning the championship after missing nearly 25% of the season due to injury though?

I'd bet NASCAR and the media will spin that into a big positive narrative about a driver that rallied into the playoffs and "won" the championship.

I can see the casual fans buying right into that, unfortunately.

Me and a buddy tried to go to the truck race last night, took twice as long (2 hours) to get there because of rush hour and weather. Just about to turn in the track when they called it and postponed.

It was a nice 3 hour drive in the rain for nothing. At least I got catch up with a friend I don't get to see much.

Postponed for this morning but I couldn't make it and my friend has to work, so that race is a bust. Going with my Dad later to the XFinity race.

Man, that pitcrew member got plowed into.

Just turned the race on and saw that. Cannot believe that jackman looks ok.

He's the best. Around-
Nothin's ever gonna bring him down

If a driver wins and no one sees it because it's on Fox Sports 2, does it actually count?

If a Cup driver wins an Xfinity race, does it actually matter?

At this point, bringing back Busch beer as the series sponsor is more logical than a cable TV provider not many people know of. 💡

It's the largest one in the country.

Are you in Time Warner Cable land like me?

 

[MustangRyan]

Due to the lack of competition in my area, I only have access to time warner cable or satellite providers. I would have never heard of xfinity if they weren't sponsoring the series.
Of course, it doesn't matter, since I can't possibly get their service here.

Okay
Busch beer isn't sponsoring the series because they decided against renewing their sponsorship nearly 10 years ago now, not because NASCAR told them to get out.

I see the broken record is still playing.

NASCAR is awful. Nobody does anything right. This sport sucks. Everything is wrong and nothing compares to the racing 20 years ago.

That sweet sound, always played in this fashion:

Yes, so I had no clue what Xfinity was until this year, although I am well aware of Comcast due to originally being from New Jersey. Back to racing matters, Kyle Busch did win the Busch series race last night over Matt Kenseth.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

They really should've pre-recorded the national anthem about a year ago for this guy to mime, it would've took that long to tune it into something good.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Harvick say's he's going to "pound JGR".

I'm guessing he wasn't counting on Jimmie Johnson pounding him.

 

[GTPorsche]

What a shame.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Logano and the Penske crew didn't learn anything from last year's chase. What an idiot.

 

[Jahgee]

It's weird to say this in a NASCAR context, but that's a bracket buster

 

[nascarfan1400]

I thought we would at least get to the Eliminator Round before Penske started being Penske

 

[Jahgee]

If Gordon gets ****ed over for having not a **** restart for the first time in forever...

 

[GTPorsche]

That was on Kyle. He slowed down.. considering Logano was pounding his rear.

 

[nascarfan1400]

That call would have been fine last week.

 

[GTPorsche]

If the leader doesn't go, then it's his fault when he gets passed.

 

[Jahgee]

No penalty, thank ****ing god

 

[GTPorsche]

If they penalized Jeff then they needed to penalize everyone else.

 

[Jahgee]

Harvick has only 1 win at the next two tracks, looking like he'll need a second if he wants to move on
