PSUcelticsWON95 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm happy for Newman, and the ending was exciting. Newman is hard to get around, but I think Larson would've won had he not gotten into Stenhouse. Larson's spotter tried to get him on the bottom as quickly as he could but the gap closed faster than expected, but there fortunately wasn't a wreck. Despite the heartbreakers, Larson is still first in points which is cool to see. Also, I'm now first in the www.reddit.com/r/nascar Yahoo Fantasy group!

rvrdgsfn Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Results from California 1. Larson 2. Keselowski 3. Bowyer 4. Truex Jr. 5. Logano 6. McMurray 7. Suarez 8. Kyle Busch 9. Blaney 10. Elliott Stage 1 winner: Larson Stage 2 winner: Truex Jr. Larson drove like there was no tomorrow, especially with the last couple of cautions during the final stage. Bowyer showed some promise & Kes coming back from the early string of bad luck & finish 2nd shows the type of driver/team he has. Larson is no longer the bridesmaid, finally getting that victory & the weekend sweep. Well done kid. Next up, Martinsville & I'm real curious to see how the stages will go here.

PrimalCookie Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 You know, I was a Biffle fan before he kinda-retired... [pauses for the laughter to stop] ...and I picked up Larson over the offseason. Huh, that worked well for me. But that race was really a dud. It was either Larson or Truex leading (with the small Chase and Kyle Busch times), and a pretty uneventful finish. Also, man, Kenseth had a hard lick there. The safety advancements the sport has made since Dale Sr's death has been incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaatsBrett Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I kinda wish Nascar would have exotic cars racing like Lamborghinis,McLaren and such http://i.imgur.com/4gh4ZhB.png http://i.imgur.com/DmN6VqA.png http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/103365-star-based-championship-signatures-by-request/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 AJ had a kind of meh performance again. Although finished in the mid teens was certainly better then the past few weeks where he was mired in the 20-somethings... Onto the Paperclip. The first track I feel AJ has a shot at winning. Almost spoiled the party last year; finishing 2nd in the Spring race... But still; wake me up when they get to Sonoma... (I like AJ; but he's just SO pedestrian on any track 1.5 miles longer that ISN'T a restrictor plate or road course...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Whoops. The ratings slide continues. http://awfulannouncing.com/racing/nascar-ratings-getting-even-worse-season.html Quote Here’s the race by race statistics thanks to numbers from our friend Paulsen at Sports Media Watch. The big picture is that NASCAR is staring at another season of serious declines. Atlanta – 3.8 rating, 6.6 million viewers, down 7% and 3% versus last year. Lowest rating since 1998 for race after Daytona 500. Las Vegas – 3.6 rating, 6.0 million viewers, down 18% and 17% versus last year. Lowest ratings for the race since joining the circuit in 1998. Phoenix – 3.3. rating, 5.4 million viewers, down 18% and 19% versus last year. Fourth lowest rated NASCAR race on Fox ever. California – 2.9 overnight rating, down 17% versus last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Results from Martinsville: 1.Keselowski 2. Kyle Busch 3. Elliott 4. Logano 5. A.Dillon 6. Allmendinger 7. Bowyer 8. Newman 9. Kenseth 10. Stenhouse Jr. Stage 1 winner: Truex Jr. Stage 2 winner: Elliott A lot of bumping & banging today at the paperclip. Ford hasn't won here since '02 & a lot of cars were racing hard today. It was a true Martinsville race. Next up, Texas with some new pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Beginning to look a lot like Ford has taken over for Toyota as far as domination goes. The addition of SHR has turned out to be huge for that camp, as Penske was strong before. Ford hasn't won NASCAR Manufacturers' Championship since '02 so this could be the year they break that streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 JTG-Daughtery Racing almost double bagged two Top 10s as Buescher just narrowly lost out to Stenhouse for 10th. I hope AJ can build off this momentum, otherwise it's going to be a long two months until they wind their way through the track at Sonoma...

rvrdgsfn Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Results from Texas: 1. Johnson 2. Larson 3. Logano 4. Harvick 5. Earnhardt Jr. 6. Keselowski 7. McMurray 8. Truex Jr. 9. Elliott 10. Kurt Busch Stage's 1 & 2 winner: Blaney Talk about heartbreak for Ryan Blaney, had a dominant car until the final stage. Larson had a 5th 2nd place finish, he's looking pretty strong. The Hendrick & Ganassi cars looked really strong today. Jimmie gets out of the slump. Next up, It's Bristol Baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm liking the stage racing more and more every week, however, I hate that the 48 won the race. They spent all of the pre-race talking how he has had terrible runs this season, and then he won the race. ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The key to Jimmie winning: Go start in the back. The key to Junior doing well: Don't qualify. I hate 1.5 mile tracks, usually they are not conducive to good racing. Give the Texas crew credit, they worked on getting a second groove into the corners, though only turns 3 and 4 had a second. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Bolton Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Can't wait for Bristol, hopefully the crowd will be decent. It's been depressing seeing that cavernous place so empty for the last several day races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Other than Average finish, this seems pretty straight forward. Two tire compounds is veeeery interesting. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 To celebrate the 25th anniversary of "One Hot Night", this year's All-Star Race is pretty much identical to the format used back in 1992. There will be 10 drivers racing for that cool million; and Stage winners can get an automatic berth in the Final Dash. Provided they stay on the lead lap after they win a Stage until the Final Stage.

rvrdgsfn Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Results from Bristol: 1. Johnson 2. Bowyer 3. Harvick 4. Kenseth 5. Logano 6. Larson 7. Elliott 8. Truex Jr. 9. Stenhouse Jr. 10. Hamlin Stage 1 winner: Larson Stage 2 winner: Truex Jr. Both stage winners got busted for speeding in the pits but they did recover to get back in the top 10. Johnson gets his 82nd win, Bowyer came out of nowhere. Rough day for the Busch brothers & Little E & Erik Jones. Jimmie on a 2 race winning streak. Next up, my hometown track, Richmond!

DCarp1231 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 4 spectacular drivers gone from NASCAR in a 3 year span... Gordon, Stewart, Edwards, and now Dale Jr. Here's to hoping he has even more overwhelming success as a team owner. I've been reading posts by people saying now NASCAR will hand the championship to Jr. Hell no. That's not going to happen. Where was it for Gordon and Stewart? Can't say much for Edwards as his retirement was a surprise, but he did come extremely close last year. Now begins the process of which driver I want to start following. Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
