But, when doesn't Tony Stewart complain?

Fixed for truth. But at least NASCAR didn't fine him for it. In F1 he would have faced charges for bringing the sport into disrepute or something...

I wonder if Carroll's Death will motivate the Ford drivers this weekend?

The way you phrase that makes it sound like your saying Ford have no motivation...
 
Darlington on deck for Nationwide. Cup races Darlington tomorrow night. Good luck to all teams and drivers competing this weekend on this tricky Southern race track. The Lady in Black will see a lady wearing green (Danica Patrick) take on both races. I'm hoping she finishes strong.

Again- Nationwide Darlington on deck on a beautiful Friday night in Darlington, SC.

Uh, no.

Anyway, just read an interview article on NASCAR.com with Eric McClure. I guess he had absolutely no brakes, so that is why he went into the wall so hard. Said on the previous caution they were there, but when the accident started he put his foot down and the pedal just went to the floor.
 
Joey Logano should just wreck somebody near the end of every race so he gets the win.
 
Man, what an impressive run for Travis Pastrana finishing 17th.

Ryan Newman saying they need to run a 3rd road course race instead of Talladega

http://www.cbssports.com/nascar/blo...talladega-for-another-nascar-road-course-race

You know, it was the drivers who didnt like NASCAR stopping them from bump drafting at plate tracks and causing these big wrecks. They got upset and said NASCAR doesnt let them race now NASCAR lets them race and the drivers are lashing out at the fans?

The Big One is the fault of the drivers. Carl Edwards and Keselowski's crash was their fault. Not NASCAR, not the fans. The crash Tony Stewart is crying about? That was the drivers being stupid and running into each other, again not the fault of the fans or NASCAR

Ah hahaha no.

The big one is 100% because of those stupid restrictor plates.

Ditching at least one of the Talladega races and going to Barber would be a great move. We'd actually get to see some proper racing.
 
Just studied the Sadler/Logano incident and from what I can access after viewing it multiple times, it looks like Elliot just had a bad restart, Joey was pushing him and he actually looked like he would have been ok if Denny wasn't their to his outside. I think Sadler was going to block Hamlin as soon as he got to Turn 1 & 2, but he misjudged how far denny was to his quarter panel and around he went.

Hamlin went left as Sadler was going right. Nobodies fault at all. Logano was just trying to do what he did the restart before, which was to push both of them ahead of Hamlin

3 of the last 4 caution free races were at Talladega. Pack racing is a unique and exciting form of racing thats been around for over 20 years. Its not going anywhere. Drivers like Newman or Stewart need to toughen up and deal with it. Plate races are only 4/36 races anyway

As for Nationwide, that's 2 races in a row Logano has wrecked the leaders and won

Thats both times Logano was in a position where he couldn't do anything much and didn't cause it on purpose.

I believe Stewart said he prefers this style of racing, I think he was more upset at the cooling issues.

Stewart said what the vast majority of drivers are thinking. Gordon, Truex and the Redneck Jesus himself, Dale Jr. have come out and supported him. Something different needs to be done, and it's not the drivers.

To be fair with Logano, he has nothing to lose. He's under some pressure at the moment to keep his job and whether intentional or not, he'll do anything to win as would most other drivers in his situation.
 
Danica Danica Danica... :rolleyes:

EDIT Geoff Hammond has best seat on house :lol: green flag about to drop!

#18 leads after first round of pit stops. Danica at the back.
 
This is awful coverage

10 laps then commercial for 10 laps

You cant get any feel for the race

Danica is 2 laps down already. From the incar camera the car doesnt seem to be handling very well, really sawing at the wheel
 
No yellows either am I right (swapping between this and ALMS at moment)?
 
I keep checking the stream every 5-10 minutes and the last 3 times I've checked they've been on a commercial break. Pathetic.
 
I'm done watching this race, the coverage is too bad, its like if there isn't a caution or crash or battle for the lead there's nothing worth covering according to the TV crew. 43 cars and there is no battle for position, anywhere?

Im looking for an ALMS stream now or may just do something else alltogether
 
They better not show that Michifail-I mean Michigan International Raceway commercial again, I'll rage.
Mainly because the racing there sums up the season on a whole.
 
God Dammit NAPA!!

159.xx MPH average.

I am so glad that I'm not at Darlington right now. Just 70 miles up the road. Free HD!!



damn damn damn damn!
