He can be annoying at times, but he also had some great insight. Too many "Grandpa telling stories too long" moments, and jumping over Gordon when he has specific information. This, like I said before, is mostly on Fox and their "brilliant" tv team. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/nascar-monster-energy-tiered-sponsorship-model Quote Nascar has reportedly rejected an offer from Monster Energy to extend its title sponsorship of the US stock car racing series in order to push ahead with a new tiered partnership model. According to the Sports Business Journal, the energy drink brand offered to extend its deal for an additional year to give Nascar more time to finalise its sponsorship restructure. However, Nascar has apparently turned down that option to keep moving forward with the new model, with Monster now in talks about becoming a lower-level partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn8 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Wow Martin Truex Jr won on a short track! Did you know that he hadn’t before this? It took 81 tries wow, I can’t believe Fox hadn’t said anything about that. Maybe someone should tell them so they can mention that before tonight he had never won on a short track.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I'll be honest; I haven't paid any attention to this year's campaign. Probably because I don't exactly have a favorite driver anymore, since AJ retired at the end of last season. I mean, there are a couple of guys I have a rooting interest in (Blaney, DiBenedetto), but neither has gotten to the point of being the new top dog in the doghouse. Maybe it's me still holding out hope AJ returns; but the past few years have been extremely frustrating and pessimistic rooting for him. Because in the back of my mind I knew something bad was going to happen to the team. Because bad luck and misfortune always seemed to find a way to occur. Now I'm back working my seasonal job at the local minor league baseball stadium, I'm not going to be able to watch most of the races. But, since I wasn't really watching them to begin with, am I really missing out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jn8 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Surprisingly good race at Talladega. I was a little worried that everyone would run single file scared of the new package, but they actually mixed it up a decent amount. But good lord, that broadcast was terrible. Welcome back from commercial, now a quick word from Duracell, alright, we’ll be back after this break. I know they have to do commercials, but it’s been extremely bad this year and today seemed worse than usual. Oh well, still a good race even with sub-par broadcasting. Great win Chase #Di9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Effective immediately, qualifying on ovals will return to single car qualifying in all three series. https://m.nascar.com/news-media/2019/05/01/nascar-returns-to-single-car-qualifying-at-all-oval-tracks/ Quote NASCAR officials announced Wednesday that all three national series will return to single-car qualifying at all oval tracks. The rules change ends a run of five-plus years for the group qualifying format, which was introduced before the 2014 season. The group qualifying system will remain for the series’ three road-course events. At oval tracks larger than 1.25 miles (Darlington Raceway and larger), teams will determine the starting lineup with a single timed qualifying lap. At tracks 1.25 miles and shorter (World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway and smaller), teams will start on the basis of the best of two timed single-car laps.

Nothing was wrong with single car qualifying, and it’s pretty much impossible to mess up, or scheme your way to a faster time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glover Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Back to back second place finishes for Alex Bowman. I am not a fan of Hendrick as a whole, but I wouldn't mind seeing Bowman get a victory. Seems like a nice guy that really had to grind to get where he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glover Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Well the result of yesterdays race was certainly something. Honestly if you're Justin Haley how do you feel about this win? I know he has worked to get this far in his career and will take a win anyway he can get it, but it has to feel a little cheap for your first Cup series win to come like this right? Especially this early into your career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially this early into your career. A win's a win; no matter how you slice it. Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good. This is a top 5 upset in the sports' history. Less surprising than Cope or Bayne. But, I would say more surprising than Jamie Mac or David Ragan. 1) Derrike Cope (1990 Daytona 500)* 2) Trevor Bayne (2011 Daytona 500) 3) Justin Haley (2019 Firecracker 400) 4) Jamie McMurray (2002 UAW-GM Quality 500) 5) David Ragan (2013 Aaron's 499) Honorable Mentions: Brad Keselowski (2009 Aaron's 499) Greg Sacks (1985 Pepsi Firecracker 400) Morgan Shepherd (1981 Virginia 500) Jody Ridley (1981 Mason-Dixon 500) Ron Bouchard (1981 Talladega 500) *- Cope's win at Daytona in 1990 will forever be the sports biggest upset until the heat death of the universe.
