raysox Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Oh, poor Jeffy. Someone spilt his milk. Brad did nothing wrong. Jeff left the hole open and Brad filled it, and then Jeff turned down on Brad. Jeff, stop acting like a baby. Let's see, first there was the wussy fight with Jeff Burton, then the temper-tantrum with Clint Bowyer at Phoenix, and now Brad races you hard and you throw another temper-tantrum. Jeff Gordon "Wonder-Baby". That's all baby Jeffy does, is whine and cry. It's a real man Jeffy when you need a distraction by Harvick to throw a punch. Gordon is straight out pathetic.This. Honestly, he did get screwed by some cautions late. But you know what? They should've been thrown. Logano spun with cars coming, kahne did twice, and Bowyer did in the trioval. It happens to someone weekly. If Gordon had been in front at Talladega and they threw the caution for Larson spinning out of the pits, you all would've been irate. Kasey kahne has bad luck every other week, but no one has a right to complain because it's racing. It could happen in any series at any level. Kes had a great start and went for a hole because he was trying to win. He was far behind after his car broke at martinsville, and his best shot at advancing was to win. That real estate was as much of his as Gordon's. Obviously he made that move not with the intention to blow Gordon's tire. But I gaurentee I know 6 other chase drivers who would've made the same move. Brad is aggressive but he likes to win. Penske has the best cars in the field right now, and they have a huge chance to win a title. God forbid, at the expense of an aging driver who thinks he deserves special treatment. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This is the second time in four weeks where Brad's on-track attitude has ruffled feathers. He's stated that he drives to win, like Earnhardt Sr and Senna, but what he doesn't understand is his "inspirations" backed up what they did ON track off. They didn't back done from confrontation, didn't try to use excuses. Someday, Brad will learn that there's a fine line between "racing hard and earning respect" and being a punk. So far, his peers are not respecting him. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, Hendrick has only 1 car left in the Chase, but they've done pretty damn well this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Penske finding ways to get extra downforce out of a car doesn't surprise me at all.Obviously not a NASCAR guy but I'm still trying to figure out what Keselowski did wrong, exactly? If we had a restart at the Indy 500 with, say, two to go and Will Power was sitting third, I'd expect him to do the same damn thing. You're going for a title. If you've got a hole, go for it.

Unocal Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hard to believe that it's just 2 more races until NASCAR passes the baton back to NBC again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hard to believe that it's just 2 more races until NASCAR passes the baton back to NBC again.And 2 months until Winter Testing. NASCAR basically has little-to-no offseason. Only sport close is golf which I don't think has an "off-season". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 You ever notice that NASCAR drivers rarely get into serious off the track issues? Yes, we had the Tony Stewart situation in August and Travis Kvapil a few years ago and Kurt Busch's 2005 Phoenix incident, but those are the norm rather than the exception. For all the "Kyle Busch is a bad dude on the track" stuff, he has a clean crimincal record and he never has any issues with his wife Samantha. The lack of an offseason means there is less chances for NASCAR drivers to really screw up away from the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 So NASCAR announced the penalties this evening... Or should I say, lack-there-of, as the only ones who were fined/suspended/placed on probation were either crew members of the #24 or the #5. No driver received any penalties. I do find it odd, though, that Ambrose and Mears can get into a scuffle at Richmond in May and both be penalized, yet Tony and Hamlin have been the only ones fined since Charlotte and they barely did anything. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 and, just as we're talking off-the-track issues, news comes out that Kurt Busch is under investigation for domestic assault Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUcelticsWON95 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 and, just as we're talking off-the-track issues, news comes out that Kurt Busch is under investigation for domestic assaultI know he has a short fuse, but this still comes as a shock for me. If he's proven guilty, then I'll be surprised that he stooped to that level. I still think NASCAR (and other racecar) drivers generally tend to be the classier athletes of the world, but this would definitely hurt the reputation.

I think this kid has a bright future.Chase Elliot is a great talent. I'm glad that he won, and I'll be glad if Regan Smith can hold second to give JRM a 1-2 finish.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 4-man showdown on the sandy beaches on southern Florida.Logano, Hamlin, Harvick and Newman hold the cards; who will have the best hand when all's said and done next Sunday?

DCarp1231 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 NASCAR is one race away from potentially being proven that the whole "emphasis on winning to win the championship" is flawed... Newman hasn't won a race all season and he's in the "Championship 4". All Newman has to do is finish 2nd at Homestead and Harvick, Logano, and Hamlin all have to finish behind him.

Unocal Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Kevin Harvick is to Phoenix what Jimmie Johnson is to Martinsville- DOMINATOR And oh, the irony of Ryan Newman. 0 wins, 0 poles, can still win title. 8 wins, 11 poles, didn't even crack the top 5.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 If Newman wins, it wouldn't surprise me if Brian France gets all pissy and changes the Chase rules again and institutes some low-ball rule like you must have 1 win to advance into the next round in the Chase.

See Red Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I think NASCAR is going to have some issues if Newman wins this whole thing. The changes to the championship format has already chased away a lot of fans -- I'm sure many more will follow if a guy who's had a pretty mediocre season wins the championship. Ryan Newman being in the final four despite not being a factor all season is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
