Chicageaux Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Glad to see Logano see victory lane for the third time. He's really coming into his own at Penske. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Glad to see Logano see victory lane for the third time. He's really coming into his own at Penske.I'm convinced that if AJ didn't get busted and get kicked out of the #22, he'd be in Logano's position.AJ had another solid Top 15 finish (14th), a week after finishing in the top 15 at Michigan.

See Red Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Boy, that sure was dumb by the #1 team to pit, eh? Track position was way too important to give up the top spot with that little time left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well the 2015 schedule came out here are some changes...http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/darlington-raceway-back-to-labor-day-weekend-as-nascar-releases-sprint-cup-series-schedule-082614First the obvious...Darlington moving to Labor DayAtlanta takes over as the second points race of the year, one week after the Daytona 500.Phoenix moves from the second race of the year to the fourth.Bristol moves back five weeks, from mid-March to mid-April.Kentucky moves from one week before the July Daytona race until one week after.Charlotte and Kansas trade fall dates.Surprisingly, perhaps, there are no changes in the tracks used for the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Unocal Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Do you think it's easier to qualify on bigger tracks or smaller tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Do you think it's easier to qualify on bigger tracks or smaller tracks?I would say judging by lap times it's way easier to qualify at places like Bristol and Martinsville where you can lay down sub-20 second lap times.But, that's just me.

wonderbread Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Do you think it's easier to qualify on bigger tracks or smaller tracks?I really depends, I'd say any track that has long turns and short straight aways is easier because if you make a mistake in the corner you have less straight away speed being lost before you can get into the next corner and run a better line.

Unocal Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 In light of Darlington getting Labor Day back next year, I want your honest opinion here: If Atlanta, and not California, had gotten the Labor Day race in 2004 and for the next few years, would there have been similar outcry to what we got?

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yes, Darlington is to Labor Day like peanut butter is to jelly.The fans got what they wanted. Darlington got the Labor Day date back; but will they show up now that they got it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydnimrod Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Question about Bristol: If Jeff Burton won that race, does the 14 go to the Chase? Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Question about Bristol: If Jeff Burton won that race, does the 14 go to the Chase?No. You have to be top 30 in points to qualify with a win unless you've run most of the races but missed a few due to injury.

Unocal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Stewart's back? Oh, boy. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't know how the NASCAR fans feel about him coming back. I'm not expecting him to get the Kyle Busch treatment, but I fear the fans cheering his return will get typecast ala Ravens fans cheering Ray Rice a few weeks back.

There will be some calling him names and such. What I'm waiting for is the reaction of the true NASCAR media, those that have followed the sport and written about it for any length of time when the first "Gotcha journalist" and blog "reporter" asks an insensitive question. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting... Remember, he is innocent until proven guilty, that is the American justice system, so stop implying that he did anything wrong.
