Dalcowboyfan92 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 One of my bold predictions was that Harvick was to be eliminated; but I didn't specifically state when. And if I did, I wouldn't have said after Round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Who would've thought that Kyle Busch would finish 37th and NOT be the Chase favorite in the most peril going into Dover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 This just in...http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/13758751/tony-stewart-plans-retire-2016-seasonTony Stewart, a three-time Sprint Cup Series champion, plans to retire after the 2016 season, team and industry sources told ESPN's Marty Smith.Mired in one of the worst seasons of his career at 25th in the standings, Stewart will run one final season before handing over the driving duties of the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 14 car to Clint Bowyer, sources said.I'm not at all surprised by this news, but I wouldn't be honest if I said I wasn't bummed about hearing this. Hopefully he'll have one more win before calling it a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Results from New Hampshire:1. Kenseth2. Hamlin3. Logano4. Biffle5. Edwards6. Johnson7. Gordon8. Truex Jr.9. Khane10. NewmanKeselowski was busted for the restart & Harvick, Kurt Busch, Junior all ran out of gas. Bottom 4 include, Harvick, Bowyer, Menard, & Kyle Busch so this could get real ugly, real quick.Next up, Dover where 4 drivers will be eliminated.NASA can find liquid water on Mars, but NASCAR can't tell Biffle spun his tires on the restart? Or is NASCAR being consistent in their inconsistency? Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not really surprising Smoke is going to hang it up.NASA can find liquid water on Mars, but NASCAR can't tell Biffle spun his tires on the restart?

dfwabel Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ratings are continuing to struggle on NBCSN.Per Sports Media Watch. NASCAR Sprint Cup racing from New Hampshire drew a 1.7 overnight rating on NBCSN Sunday, down 23% from both last year and 2013, when the race aired on ESPN (2.2). The 1.7 is tied as the second-lowest for any NASCAR race this season, matching Richmond two weeks earlier and ahead of only Kansas on Fox Sports 1 in May (1.5).So far this season, five Sprint Cup races have failed to hit a 2.0 overnight rating — compared to zero such races last year.Sunday’s race was the 15th of 16 on cable this season to have a decline in overnight ratings, with the July race from Kentucky the lone exception.

DCarp1231 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 So we know Clint Bowyer will drive the 51 for HScott Motorsports before moving to Stewart-Haas, but the one thing we over look is what will happen to Justin Allgaier after this season?

rvrdgsfn Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Results from Dover:1. Harvick2. Kyle Busch3. Earnhardt Jr.4. McMurray5. Almirola6. Khane7. Kenseth8. Stenhouse Jr.9. Larson10. LoganoMcMurray, Menard, Bowyer & Jimmie Johnson have been eliminated from the chase. I don't think any of us had Jimmie getting eliminated that quickly. Harvick drove like he needed to, to survive & advanced as did Junior. To be quite honest, I do feel bad for Jamie Mac.Next up, the contender round in Charlotte .

See Red Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I want to hate all the changes they've made to how they determine a champion, especially this format. But god damn it makes for some exciting racing.Good, uneventful race for Gordon. Harvick is clutch. That was as impressive a back-to-the-wall performance as you'll see.

DCarp1231 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Ryan Newman proving for the second straight season that you don't need a win to have a great chase. All this emphasis on "Win to get in" when Newman is proving it's all about consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidellias Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 there's a new team in NASCAR called "Skull Crusher Motorsports", Andy Lally will drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Andy Lally? Haven't heard that name since he won the Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year, during the Dork Age of that award (2010-2012).Stephen Leicht? Andy Lally? Kevin Conway?No one really jumps out in 2015; but 2016 should be a fun battle between Elliott and Blaney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Oh, phew, it's only the Xfinity side. I remember hearing about that now. Yeah, that was an odd time for Rookies. We really haven't had a 'great' class since... what, 07? I think that's also the last time a rookie won in their first year of competition (Montoya @ Sonoma). Hopefully this next class of youngsters can make that happen again. I'm not sure I can handle another Andy Lally winning the awaRd or another guy who is sponsored by a male enhancer (Conway & EXTENZE). @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 A day after Dale Jr and TaxSlayer.com unveiled a new partnership (and a new paint scheme) to bring the company up from JR Motorsports to Hendrick Motorsports, Jr is getting a new sponsor. That sponsor is Axalta. The same sponsor that has been with Jeff Gordon his entire career.These two new primary sponsors join Nationwide and Diet Mountain Dew as major sponsors for Dale Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupont/Axalta with Hendrick is probably the 2nd longest relationship in NASCAR next to STP and Petty. I imagine the scheme to be some sort of throwback design as are most of June Bug's cars. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
