glad hes alright
Glad to see nascar hasn’t solved the problem. Wow
@Braaandon they haven’t added the mulffers yet most likely the problem from last year rubber
@Mchattenbros mufflers have been added, they were done for the clash, phoenix, and i think martinsville. They even said in the broadcast its the muffler
@Braaandon clash and Chicago are the only races the mufflers are for.
The problem is Murican stoock car racin whether it be flat short track or high bank is good Fer rubber collection these bodies are designed more 4 your Euro style road courses.
@Braaandon clash and Chicago since there in a city
I don’t how NASCAR didn’t fix that problem over off season
@Lil Twizz And the ones last year happened primarily to Fords. This happened to a Toyota now
@BonnieBoi 9743 Exactly. Where did they go wrong with the car bruh?
@Lil Twizz You remember Harvicks car fire at Darlington? Cole Custers at Michigan? And heck even though this is a Chevy, it happened to Bowman too
@Lil Twizz And lets not forget the rear impacts, like at Pocono…that ended Kurt Buschs career
@BonnieBoi 9743 definitely nascars fault there should not be any holes in the fire wall especially near the exhaust
What a way to start your rookie season
didn’t they say that they had taken care of that problem already? after Kevin Harvick had that exact same problem happen to him at the Darlington night race last year
@Logan Ward Maybe if you had watched the video, they’re using a new muffler fool.
@AloeLover your just probably implying that i didn’t watch the video and i did so what is your god dang problem about it eh? and besides you don’t have to post a comment every time that i watch any NASCAR videos on YouTube and besides don’t you think it is getting a little bit repetitive just saying
Fr
I’m pretty sure that would have been a brand new car so how many laps did it take for enough rubber to build up to start a fire couldn’t have been that many it’s just a thought
Fact all three in the booth had no opinion in the next segment is rather scary, probably a Fox memo came in during commercial.
well that is probably the first time we have seen a stock car catch/caught on fire at the new clash track
Makes you miss the COT.
@TanDawg58″This is a bad look” This was never a bad look for them for years, no matter what car they have. But you “fans” suddenly show up and start to make it a big deal for no damn reason. Also, imagine liking your own comment…
@AloeLover
Firstly, I don’t like my own comments. Secondly, a brand new racecar that is supposed to be an improvement over all previous cars can’t be having these issues like this. Kevin Harvick raised concerns last year, and it’s obviously still not fixed. This car puts on a great race, but it still has issues needing to be worked out sooner than later. And lastly, you seemingly referring to me as a random pop-up fan is BS. I have a feeling that I have been watching NASCAR a lot longer than you have.
What about the Gen-6 cars?
@William Seaman
Gen 6 left a sour taste only because NASCAR kept messing with its packages.
Ya thinking the same thing
Good to see Nascar fixed this problem!
This season’s gonna be lit.
I guess you’ll have the last laugh when the put mufflers on a top fuel dragster and expect them to push 11,000 hp
@Tim Van Voorhis crazy thing about that is the technology they have access to is probably better than you working in your mom’s shed. So I have no worries I’m gonna be laughing at this already anyways with how dumb you’ve been sounding
@joshawott31 no I don’t like rice burners bud your failing to understand my point. And you have none
As an Anti Gibbs Fan, I’m glad he’s okay. I hope NASCAR fixes this problem
@MattMan420 Definitely was a setback as he couldn’t qualify, so he’s fucked lmao.
NASCAR creates problems, they don’t solve problems. NASCAR won’t let the team engineers do their job.
@Patrick Tuggles thank you!
@Bingus Worshipper he didn’t get hurt
Thanks NASCAR for working so hard during the off season to fix problems.
We need a Photoshop picture with Kyles face saying “first time?”
I dont know which is scariest the fact that these fires keep happening or how fast those flames make it onto the cockpit.
Both probably
Thanks nascar for ignoring this serious safety issue in the off-season
Well you know NASCAR in their infinite wisdom had to deal with the more important Hail Melon (Chastain wall move) safety issue that injured no one than something as minor as a fire in the cockpit
Just like cars in the real world, they keep making changes trying to fix stuff that isn’t broken. Imagine the driver in there, hardly able to move trying to unbuckle and get out with that aggressive of a fire right behind you? Scary stuff. Now imagine someone unconscious or unable to get themselves out.
Or up against a wall…
WOW what a great next gen car, been out over a year and still lights up like a match
only cuz of the mufflers this one race
@Mailbox Media and what about last year when they didn’t have mufflers? lol
@jjmckay6man1 I’m saying they fixed the fires, only reason there was a fire here is cuz of the muffler, which is only for 2 races
@Mailbox Media yeah sure we will see more catch fire during non muffler races watch.
Is it too soon to say Ty Gibbs is on fire this year??
lol underrated comment
pretty sure the drivers would rather the car remain loud, which they are used to, as opposed to catching on fire after like 40 miles…
I’ve defended NASCAR all last year and doing it as a Kurt Busch fan of over 18 years was hard to do. Seeing the same mistakes from last year not being fixed just pisses me off or deeply saddens me. Can’t tell which…
So? Why did you defend them when major issues were present , I didn’t, Kurt fan since the 04’ championship.
Way to go NASCAR!! Way to make these cars safer in the off season!! I’m sure the drivers have a lot more confidence in the cars safety after this!!
Considering just one car caught on fire, this is less on NASCAR and more on JGR’s engineering.
