Dalcowboyfan92 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Logano's going to get his a-- dumped at the Paperclip. If it's not Kenseth, then it's certainly going to be someone else. Probably Junebug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If you aren't trying to win, then why are you racing? Logano is thinning the field. If he has a shot to get 2 of the best drivers left in the field(In this case Kenseth and Earnhardt) out of the Chase directly from his actions, then why wouldn't he? The kid is a racer, and he did nothing wrong at Dega. The 20 spin was something else, but it looked like more of a racing incident than anything. The drivers wanted one restart, NASCAR gave them TWO because the first attempt was a bad way to end it. They couldn't have predicted it happens again. Dale even said he's not too upset because he came in 2nd on rules that NASCAR promised to enforce.Now, being a fan that drove 5 and a half hours to go to the race, the ending sucked. But it was the rule and I'm not too upset. It was just because last year we got to see it play out on a full 2 lap scale rather than a caution coming to the green. Junior fans were pissed and were mad at NASCAR, but what do you want them to do? Let your driver win? That isn't fair to the 42 other drivers. Still, I'm sure they WANTED Junior to win, but they couldn't reasonably say that he was ahead of the 22 when the yellow came out. Logano won.70 laps to go I was SURE Junior was going to walk off. They came in for pitstops and Junior got in trouble. Then the timeliest of breaks gave him a shot and I was sure he was gonna steal it. I proposed the idea to my friend I was with and said someone is going to push the fuel and they called me crazy. Sure enough, Biffle was running 2nd to last in a chain 40 seconds ahead of the battle between the 22 and 88. I don't know how many people even saw him, but the laps kept clicking down and I was so sure Biffle was going to win in the most confusing finish ever. I think Biffle is washed up, but that win would've been something great to see. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 NASCAR has a ton of explaining to do. Firstly, why did they really change the GWC rule mid-week? The "For driver safety" reason hasn't been accepted by many fans and more importantly by the drivers themselves. Secondly, if you call off the first "attempt" why was the second allowed to continued? Joey and Junior hadn't reached the start-finish line then, either, while they were crashing. Thirdly, if you were fine with the race, why did it take so long for you to post the Eight Drivers moving on to the next round, and why were so many officials brought in to make this decision?Next, there's the reason as to why no red flag was thrown when Jamie Mac's engine expired? There were too few laps remaining and the cleanup was going to take too long. They ripped off the fans who paid good money to see a race, not the circus it turned into. Oh what could have been....

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 For the first time in the history of the Xfinity Series; they'll be making tracks in the Pocono Mountains. And Pocono will now host an Xfinity Race to go along with the Truck Race, the IndyCar Race and the two Sprint Cup races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 NASCAR is going to have trouble AGAIN next year. Why do they insist on having Talladega as a round ending race? It's nothing but a pain. Are they trying to manufacture problems? They're not the WWE, they're supposedly a real sport. Stop scripting drama. Oh what could have been....

raysox Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Why is Talladega ending a round such a big deal? It'd be considered a wildcard if it was the first or second race. If you say it shouldn't be in the chase, then it would be like road courses not being in the chase. Talladega is exciting. It gives more drivers a chance to win, than say, Kansas. It's fine where it is. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Watch someone attempt to dump Logano really early on. But, I don't think it'll be someone in the Chase; since it's too risky of a move to attempt.On a lighter side; AJ starts 3rd. His best start not counting the two poles at the road courses.

LAWeaver Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Sounds like we'll be racing to halfway today.National Weather service says that there's a 43% chance of rain at 1, and a 53% chance of rain at 4 with Sunset being around 5:45 as the track does not have lights.HOWEVER, if you look at Google/the Weather Channel, it says that it's only a 15% chance at 1 through the rest of the day until noght.Finally, AccuWeather show's that there's a 40% chance @ 1, decreasing slightly by 3, and picking back up again by 5.I hate forecasts. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Depending on how many cautions we see; we may not get to halfway before a potential washout. Let's hope they get as close to the end as they can (or if they can get the checkered flag in) before the rain starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Did Brad do that on purpose to the 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUcelticsWON95 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Interesting wreck. Looked like it was just a racing incident. They got together because of close racing at the end of the corner, and coming off the corner Brad's car was getting a little tail-happy and it looked like it just snapped back the other way which led it to climb up the track into Matt. I'm not a fan of the 2 or the 20 really, but it sucks for those two. I especially feel sorry for Kurt who really had no where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
