LAWeaver Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 2015 Toyota Sprint Cup Camry via Toyota Racing's Facebook page...I'm impressed...Please tell me the grill opening is only the bottom middle section and not the whole dang thing. That thing looks like it could suck up a squirrel and keep going. Oh, and did anyone else see where Goodyear basically told teams this weekend "Don't go too fast if you don't want a blown tire." Really? That's like telling a football player not to score a touchdown, or an MLB player not to to hit a home run. #Firestone2016 @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I saw the fight, but what happened that instigated the fight? At the end, I was focused on Harvick/Gordon for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needschat Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Keselowski is a little piece of crap. Can't stand the guy.He showed what kind of former champion he is: First almost causing a major accident when he tried to wall Kenseth after a restart, then kept cutting of JJ further in the race, then running into Tony's rear. I did notice the "Oh :censored:" backup Brad did when he realized who he hit. AND LOVE LOVE Tony's reaction! Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I saw the fight, but what happened that instigated the fight?At the end, I was focused on Harvick/Gordon for the win.I didn't really see anything on that last restart to justify Brads actions. Kenseths anger was a result of Keselowski hitting his car in the pits when Kenseth had already removed his safety restraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Brad seemed to take a page out of Kyle Busch's work and tried to wreck others who had better cars then him. Really classless Kes would do that and Hamlin and Kenseth had appropriate reactions and tried to take out their frustrations on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydnimrod Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Had Kyle Larson won a race or got in the chase on points, he'd be tied with Harvick for second right now. Hasn't finished worse than 6th the whole chase. Logano hasn't finished worse than fifth; he has 40+ points in every chase race. Pretty darn great.

PSUcelticsWON95 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Surprised Stewart got that big of a punishment, especially more than Kenseth. I guess it's because Kenseth potentially boosted NASCAR ratings But just like with NFL and NBA penalties, $50,000 isn't much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 OK, i need to vent... I'll just spoiler it:NASCAR seriously needs to get their crap together. This qualifying format is obviously not working when you have three cars (17 - Stenhouse Jr, 51 - Allgaier, 36 - Sorenson) miss the race even though they have attempted all 31 races so far this season. It's complete and utter bullcrap. They seriously need to go back to the Top 35 rule and change the process a second time. Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, and Kevin Harvick are all starting at the back because of this format. What I'd do to change it is to keep the group qualifying for all tracks EXCEPT FOR the superspeedways. Heat races should be used for those tracks, as they already run in large groups in qualifying. Plus, if it continues, someone's going to get killed if one of those cars on-track hits someone on the bottom of the track. Speaking of Formats, this Chase format has some flaws in it... and by some, I mean it's one giant flaw. You have guys like Ryan Newman, who hasn't won a race all year, in the Top 5 because he's been getting lucky. Meanwhile, BK, JJ, and Jr. - with 11 wins between them - are probably going to be eliminated. Don't get me wrong, I like Newman, but I don't think he's deserving of a Championship because he got hot at the right time. He's basically the New York Giants of NASCAR, only the difference is that I like Newman much more. Not to mention that Jeff Gordon is on the bubble while Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch - 3 wins total - are in favorable spots going into today's race. I will say that if Harvick or Joey win the title, I wouldn't be surprised because they have been running good all year, though I'd like to see Joey win it more than Kevin simply because he has more wins, but if Kevin wins it, then I'd consider that a half-win for Hendrick because it is, after all, his equipment that he's giving.I have also considered leaving/unfollowing the sport for a little while. Brian France has brought the sport down in the past decade. It's time for some new blood as competition director that gives the fans what they want instead of "Hey, you know what would be funny? If we restarted everything right at the end of the season!!!!!!1111one!!!!uno!!1eleven" I liked the chase at first, but that was before it changed every flippin year*exhales* @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
