If I had a nickel for every time a driver flipped at Michigan this past weekend I would have two nickels which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened twice

AND if I had a nickel for every time Tyler Reddick won in a race where Corey Lajoie flipped, I’d ALSO have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice….

@@robalt91 he wouldnt have. Watch each spin. The 1 went around fast and was backward which allowed the flaps to open. Watch the 7. It starts to spin. One flap opens and slows the spin then the air packs up under the car and over it goes. You can see the “hitch” in the 7 spin as the first flap opens.

That 20 mph headwind in Michigan today really sent that 7 over. CRAZY!

Reply
@tescoshortage August 19, 2024 at 10:53 pm

That makes much more sense as to why the car flipped over. He was going about 185-190 when he spun out. Add the 20 mph tailwind down the frontstretch (a headwind at the other end of the track) and you get 205-210 mph of air hitting the 7 car.

​@@tescoshortageAnd the unofficial NASCAR speed limit is 205 because the roof flaps become ineffective above that. 205+ is another world of aerodynamics.

Honestly, NASCAR’s penchant to throw a caution for overtime is just infuriating. MTJ was able to get on the apron. Overtime is a curse

Reply
@wordlesslfiddling August 19, 2024 at 10:01 pm

The attempted rigging for hendrick was so blatant today
First we throw a caution for mtj doing absolutely nothing
And then we wait while Ross Chastain is spinning out of control until he’s basically stopped and the field has gone by to throw a caution
I’m co fident byron would have never had the lead if they hadn’t waited to throw the caution

@philsonnenberg6092 August 19, 2024 at 10:52 pm

Any other track I would say wait on the caution. As a spotter for NASCAR you see the 19 half way around and tagging the wall. If you throw the caution and he saves it (like what happened) NASCAR looks like fools. If the 19 spins back into 180mph traffic and gets hit NASCAR looks like fools with a possible injured driver for not throwing the caution fast enough. No win here for NASCAR. Last week it was Stenhouse, this week Truex.

The issue last week wasn’t that Austin Dillon was “undeserving.” It was what he did to win after a series of unfortunate events took him out of the lead after he had just driven to the front of his own merit.
