WTF are they thinking with that choice, especially with so many good drivers out there without a ride next year.

[StAnger]

WTF are they thinking with that choice, especially with so many good drivers out there without a ride next year.

I wonder how long this team will last. You can only crash so many cars before you go bankrupt.

[fast Ed]

MJ has pretty deep pockets though, we'll see how committed he is. And who knows how much they have lined up for sponsorship dollars, Bubba may be attractive to them despite a mediocre record.

[Stephen06GT]

WTF are they thinking with that choice, especially with so many good drivers out there without a ride next year.

Bubba is the new Danica.

[ZR]

No Ricky filled that spot nicely but yes Boo Boo is a close second.

[ZR]

So many freakin field fillers in Nascar.

[machzilla]

I cant even comment without saying anything nice!!

Hendrick Motorsports announced on Tuesday that Chad Knaus will become vice president of competition at the end of the season to oversee all of the team’s cars and its transition to the next generation NASCAR Cup Series spec car coming in 2022.

[Zippy]

Good for Chad.

[Zippy]

Chicago & Kentucky off the schedule

Indy Road course & COTA added to the schedule.
Road racing in nascar = fun to watch!

[Zippy]

CRAZINESS for next year cup

The spring race at Bristol will be on DIRT
First Time having All star race @Texas
Road America race
First Time @ indy road course
First Time @ circuit of the americas (COTA)

I don't understand the dirt race at bristol... everything else is freaking exciting!!!

[machzilla]

I could do without the dirt at Bristol and disappointed the Brickyard is moving to the roadcourse.

[G-ForceJunkie]

Great to see more road courses. Don't understand Bristol on dirt though. That was already an entertaining track to watch.

[Stephen06GT]

What a shit show at Dega so far.

[ZR]

It didn't get an ounce better.

[Stephen06GT]

I wonder what kind of compromising photos JGR and Toyota have on NASCAR?

[ZR]

No one even close to Hamlin.
WTF Nascar.

[Stephen06GT]

And why was the 21 penalizesd all the way back to 21st from second? NASCAR says blocking, I say it was bullshit.

[ZR]

^ You mean doing his job on the last lap and going for a win??

[StAnger]

It didn't get an ounce better.

I guess you could say that you were watching a demolition derby, and Nascar race broke out.

[ZR]

Sure felt that way.
Professional drivers, ya right!!

[Zippy]

Nascar couldn't have fucked up harder.

[ZR]

No doubt about it.

[ZR]

Well the Roval was entertaining yesterday, hope it rains again today.

[Zippy]

Chase dominates again. Road course ACE!

Kyle winless Busch eliminated.

Easy there grasshopper,,,,we still got 4 races to go !! :boxer:

[Stephen06GT]

Why do I feel that NASCAR wants the 11 car to win the championship this year?

[Zippy]

Sounds like Eric Jones will be going to the #43 car for next year.
ANDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Kyle Larson was just cleared by Nascar to return to racing in 2021.

[1BAD92LX]

Great news. Hope he gets a good ride, maybe with SHR.

[ZR]

I'd love to see him at Hendrick.

[Zippy]

Chase Briscoe from Xfinity will be driving the #14 Car in cup in 2021.

So... Kyle Larson will either be in the 5/25/88 car in Hendrick or driving for a back marker team...

[ZR]

Come on Kyle in the 88

[1BAD92LX]

Great for Larson. I sure hope the #5 ride is competitive. The #5 team has always been a lame duck in the Hendricks organization.

[ZR]

My money's on Larson excels in the 5 car.

[Zippy]

Prediction. Kyle Busch wins the next two races of the season.

[bluetoy]

I really think the chase format in Nascar is retarded. Looks like the #4 Harvick might miss the final 4 . You know the guy with the most wins,most top 20's, most top 10's most top 5's, led the most races, highest average finish, the most points for 2020 and has only been out of the top 15 5 times in 34 races. I don't get it and it's just another of the reasons I stopped watching.

P.S. Bite me Logano...

I agree. It should be the driver who has the best overall season who wins the championship, which is why Johnson's 7 championships shouldn't be held as equal to Petty's or Dale Sr's.

[Zippy]

Have to say. Best race of the season by far today. Excitement from lap 1.

Disappointed Harvick didn't make the Final 4. Was hoping Hamlin would choke...
Zero stage points for Harv in the last two races cost him huge.

I guess we see it differently. I watched it on and off. It was boring. Just doesn't do anything for me any more. Don't even get me started about stage racing... Nascars fake races to encourage mayhem on restarts because the racing is soooo boring. If that was the most exciting race all year then I'm sure glad I didn't watch any other ones.

I'm with Zipmasterflex on this one, enjoyed the racing yesterday.

Lol!! I'm the only guy you know who doesn't like chocolate but thanks for the thought. I do like Kyle Bush though.

[ZR]

You did not say that!!!

[Zippy]

Alright........... Championship predictions
Who you got?
Joey Lagayno
Brad The Dick Keslowski
Denny Cry Baby Hamlin
OR
Chase The Great Elliot

Obviously hope Chase gets it done but I think Penseke will be really tough to beat.
I rather anyone but Hamlin win though...

[ZR]

I only see one guy I like there....................give em hell Chase.

[StAnger]

No penalties after the #20 team was caught giving team orders to Erik Jones.

https://www.jayski.com/2020/11/02/nascar-to-review-kevin-harvick-and-erik-jones-actions-near-end-of-martinsville-race/

[ZR]

Was clear as day watching the race he was told not to pass Hamlin.

[StAnger]

I'm willing to bet Hamlin will win the championship... Barring anything catastrophic happening.

[machzilla]

I like Kyle Busch too,,and I just said that!!!





:stickpoke:

[ZR]

I'd bet Kyle comes away from this season more appreciative of the years when strong finishes and wins were more the norm for him.

[ZR]

Chase gets it done in style.

[1BAD92LX]

Kicked their asses!! Well done Chase!!

[ZR]

Coolest part, wasn't a fluke, wasn't a strategy or fuel mileage call, fed it to the field in style.

[Stephen06GT]

Congrats to Chase and the #9 team.

I do have a question though. Why was the rest of the field even there. It seemed like they all had throttle stops installed compared to the final four.

[ZR]

Ross n I talked about the same thing but just like a bunch of other Nascar races this yr (same in F1), small group out front, rest of the field fighting among themselves.

[Zippy]

Apparently JJ & Chase will drive a car in the Rolex 24hr race coming up in January!!!! They just need to get Gordon & Jr. behind the wheel now!!!!!!!

[Zippy]

Most Popular Drivers this season are..............
Chase Elliot in Cup
Justin Allgaier in Xfinity
:highfive:

[ZR]

Nicely done by both.

[StAnger]

This is a really interesting story from one of Dale Sr's first car owners.

Infinity race, lots of wrecking, lots of wheels on the bus go round n round but precious little good racing. Couple or three that caused wrecks seriously need to have a talk with themselves. You simply can not fit a size 7X car in a 5X hole.

Wait a minute. They aren't driving the same cars they ran at Daytona on the dirt at Bristol? I was looking forward to seeing those tanks turn right to go left.

[Zippy]

I think those cars on track are just test cars to see if the track will hold up.
I believe they'll be in a stock car for this race

[1BAD92LX]

Those cars testing out the track are flying around there. Bet they are faster than most of the nascar guys.

[Zippy]

Kyle Larson & C. Bell are for sure favourites for that race with all the dirt racing experience they have.

I don't think they will. They didn't allow them testing for the Daytona RC.

[Zippy]

AJ with a nice win in Xfinity.
Kinda sad a team that started 3yrs ago is already taking it to these big race teams.

[ZR]

Entire team plus AJ himself have done an incredible job in a very short time.

Kyle Larson getting it done. No doubt in my mind this guy is going to do great things at Hendrick.

I've been watching some of the dirt modified and world of outlaws practice on youtube, and some of the lap times are quicker than the cup cars.

[1BAD92LX]

My 2 cents
Anyone who has never seen a dirt race will think the Cup cars are flying
Anyone who has seen a dirt modified or WoO car will think the Cup cars are slow as fack
Still think that covering a pavement track in dirt is rediculous. Hope the TV ratings will be worth it

What a cluster fuck this is so far.

[Zippy]

For anyone that has missed what has been going on in Nascar this weekend... watch this 2min video. It pretty much sums up how dumb this dirt racing idea is.

Current schedule for the race is, Trucks Monday Afternoon. Cup cars Monday evening at 4:30pm EST.

Watched all of the race yesterday (recorded it)
It was okay.
Stage 1 with the multigroove racing was really fun to watch. But pretty much after the comp caution... it was pretty underwhelming.
When I think or have watched other dirt racing... there are multiple lanes, a cushion, and there are slide jobs. Nascar had none of that yesterday.

I also think from a fan being at the track yesterday... I would have been covered from head to toe in dust/dirt
There overhead shots literally showed a dust cloud above the track.
Bristol was on my top 1 or 2 tracks to go see... not anymore.

The biggest thing they don't talk about is the opportunities this new car will make for new/old teams that are barely hanging on financially.

It will also be interesting to see how the rear diffuser holds up come the first bump draft and how the IRS and transaxle handle a Darlington stripe.

Hendrick on a roll. They just became the most winning team in Nascar, 269 wins.
Larson DOMINATED today's race. 320laps led, won all 3 stages and the race.

Pretty cool for Hendrick to win it's first race as the 5 car... and then the 5 car again to take over the win count.
Sometimes it's meant to be.

[ZR]

Moving Chad into his new position plus adding Larson to the line up, game changer and it's showing.

[ZR]

Hendrick did the 1 n 2 again yesterday. Larson is on the roll of his life. Imagine the emotions going through his head, from the low of lows last year to the high of highs this year.

Kyle Larson continues to take the entire field to school.

Not really shocked at all.
Brad K. seems to hate Joey's guts.

Ty Gibbs with a horrible block... 25 car makes an insane save to not wreck the entire field.

What an odd thing to have happen when their was zero tire issues all day.
Larson continues to be class of the field though.
With him doing so well plus announcement on Jeff Gordon's new role, Rick Hendrick must look in the mirror 20 times a day n say "who's da man".

[1BAD92LX]

The flat tire was weird, but he was pushing hard to pass the 48.
Almost got them again today starting from the rear.

Yup, 2nd again today. The man's just so fast.
I think him running onto the apron hurt his LF down at turn 2.
It would have made more sense if he blew a RF chasing down Bowman as that tire takes a lot more abuse... oh well.

[ZR]

He is an incredible talent.

I have a feeling he’s been doing that for the last 20 years or so lol.

[Zippy]

Chip Ganassi Racing was just bought up by Trackhouse Racing yesterday...
Didn't see that one coming.
I guess writing was on the walls after Larson left Ganassi.

[ZR]

Big news.

This might be the best nascar meme i've ever watched. LOL

Kyle Larson contract extension for 2more years as well as Hendrick is sponsoring all his dirt racing cars as well.

Matty D out of a ride again.

[Zippy]

Once the race got going, it was a pretty good one.
Almirola drove his ass off to get it into victory lane, well done.
Kyle busch crashing in the rain was the highlight of the race though.
Not sure what to think about Nascar not calling the caution sooner...
Good on Steve O donnel getting into the booth and defending the call.

Joe Gibbs has a future Cup Champ here.
Couple more years and he'll be in Cup getting it done. No question about it.
I think if he moves into Xfinity next year, he will have very limited competition with Cindric/AJ/Burton moving into Cup.
He's going to win so many races.

So cool watching someone who can drive a car like that.

[cudaboy]

So if GM cancels the Camaro in 2024, what do they race in 2025. Will NASCAR go electric with the Mustang and a larger Spark?.

[Zippy]

Lap 1 was hilarious... LOL

Congrats to the Dinger. And I’d be lying if I said I felt bad for Denny Hamlin.

[Zippy]

Chase Brisco is my hero!!!!!!!
What a retarded race at the end. The curb coming apart is one thing... but leaving that other curb "the ramp" in place still was a major mistake.
Great race up till that point though. The track layout providing great side by side action.

[ZR]

Shame on Nascar for putting drivers in harms way by leaving the curb in place.
As for Hamlin, Brisco is also my hero.
Whole curb coming apart likely cost the 5 car another win.

[92redragtop]

That curb cost a few teams a bunch of money.

[ZR]

Even worse, danger it needlessly put the drivers in.

[ZR]

Denny crying on social media is priceless.

Decent cup race. They were after it for majority of the race.
Larson wins Reg Championship. Reddict sneaks his way into the playoffs.
Playoffs start next weekend at Darlington.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch has been penalized for his actions after a mid-race wreck in Sunday’s Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, NASCAR announced Tuesday.
The pilot of the No. 18 Toyota Camry violated Sections 12.1.a; 12.5.2.5.a; 12.8.a of the NASCAR Rule Book and has been fined $50,000 for a safety violation, actions detrimental to stock car racing and violating the NASCAR member conduct guidelines.
Busch’s car made significant contact with the outside retaining wall in Turn 2 after Lap 125 contact from the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet of non-playoff driver Austin Dillon. Busch drove away with heavy damage but parked in the garage to end his race. While pulling into the garage area, Busch ran over several orange cones at a considerable amount of speed in the vicinity of spectators.

[1BAD92LX]

He gave a class act of an interview after also. What a cry baby.

[ZR]

Can't contain himself for a second Kyle is back.................damm it's fun to watch.

[Zippy]

If you're going to fine someone, do it with points. 50k to these big teams is like $50 at this point.

[ZR]

Refreshing to see Chase finally stand up for himself. All too many times he's quietly taken it. Oh and come on Harv, you doored the guy n he ended up with a flat tire, no way anyone is gonna be happy with you. Sucks for you Elliot ended up back on the track n took your line long enough for Kyle to get around for the win.
My prediction, Harv is either in his last yr or will announce retirement next year.

[1BAD92LX]

I didn’t see the pass as overly aggressive, just normal for Bristol. Sucks that it ended up with the 9 with a flat tire.
If you want to see aggressive, watch the end of the Xffinity race.

[ZR]

Infinity race was a doozy.
To me, looked like 4 drifted up hoping he'd either take the air off n make Chase loose or maybe concede the spot n let him by. Sux how it turned out but can for sure see argument from each of them. In same breath, not sure what he expected from Chase once he got back on track, bunch of self control not to just drive through Harvick at that point. Exciting for the fans.

[G-ForceJunkie]

Funny, I find Chase is a real whiner anytime things don't go his way. I don't think either Chase or Kevin did anything wrong in this scenario.

[Zippy]

And they want to race bristol on dirt again... best race of the season last night.

[Zippy]

So Bubba wins a race... yeah... that's how he would win one.
What a messed up weekend, I really dislike how these Playoff races aren't ran fully, doesn't seem right.

Also found this gem
LOL

Did the entire field wreck?

[Stephen06GT]

I’m surprised NASCAR hasn’t altered the rules to allow Bubba into the Chase after his “win”.

[Zippy]

they didn't race long enough lol

[StAnger]

they didn't race long enough lol

Well he lucked into it regardless.

Not that it hasn't been discussed.
Threw up in my mouth when broadcasters again talking about poor Boo boo and the incident in his garage................ya same incident FBI investigated n concluded NEVER HAPPENED!!!

These next gen cars are flying around the roval.

[StAnger]

I hated the steering feel those cars have in iRacing, which apparently is by design as NASCAR wants the cars to have a light steering effort for some reason.

[1BAD92LX]

So now they are gt3 or gt4 sports cars.
The new car will make it too easy for the drivers

[ZR]

Fuck you Harvick, not enough balls to fess up.

[Zippy]

Not sure what I think about the sound of them yet. One clip they are raspy, next they got a pure v8 sound.

Byron had a shot there. Was thinking either him or Reddick would take it, but is anyone ever surprised when Larson wins? haha.

[ZR]

It's incredible what Larson has achieved so far this year. Ross n I have always spoken about what he'd be able to do when hooked up to kinda resources like Hendrick have.

[ZR]

Larson wins again, dude is on fire.
Thought Chase was gonna stuff it for good instead of backing off n finishing second.
