@chad cleary hey what’s up Chad
I’m Jay from NC
@Tim Wohlford I get that and it will probably never return to those years of insane amounts of sponsorship money nor do I think the cars should require that kind of money. The whole thing about NASCAR was to buy a “stock” car, modify it and race it. All NASCAR has managed to do over the years is over complicate everything. To be honest, I think the truck series is the best platform NASCAR has right now. Them boys been getting after it since the days of Skinner and Hornaday in basically the same trucks.
]]>@David Stanford I realize it isn’t about a tire coming off, but the tire example is to illustrate how ridiculous Nascar has become. One driver gets banned for saying a “word” during basically a video game while another flips off the tv camera and there’s no consequences. JGRs team makes red flag adjustments to the car and is sent to the rear of the field but Briscoe has the boom lowered on him? The only consistency they demonstrate is being consistently inconsistent and consistently bad. I would wager that there isn’t a single car on that track that’s 100% legal. Maybe Nascar should simply build the cars and hand them out before the race.
]]>@chad cleary This isn’t about a tite coming off. This is about a counterfeit part. I don’t agree with some penalties, but this one and some others are clear as day.
]]>I made that exact same comment the other day! Let them draw the finishing order out of a hat and save the gas!
]]>@David Stanford Every single team that is serious about winning pushes the envelope when it comes to engineering their cars to be faster. I think it’s bullshit to suspend crew chiefs four races for a tire coming off. Nascar has gotten grab happy with fines. They designed these cars, supply the parts, and expect drivers to go out and put on a show that will bring in the fans. Fans don’t show up to watch everyone driving single file. How do you pass if you are all running the same damn speed?
]]>The idea was, is, that it’s cheaper this way. NASCAR today gets about 1/3 of the sponsor dollars that it used to get, adjusting for inflation.
