See Red Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Getting awfully tired of being a fan of the 24 team. Same crap every single week. Had, by far, the best race car today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Great finish for Allmendinger; an 8th. Really hoping he could win at either Sears Point or Watkins Glen. He did win twice on road courses, on the Nationwide series though, but it gives me hope as a fan of the Dinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Via Jayski....NASCAR is planning on making significant engine package changes in 2015 to extend the life of Sprint Cup powerplants and reduce horsepower. And along with engine changes, there likely will be aerodynamic and tire changes for the Cup cars in 2015 as well. That's the word from NASCAR Vice President of Competition and Racing Development Robin Pemberton. Pemberton said the sanctioning body has had four meetings so far with representatives from Chevy, Ford and Toyota and race teams about how to implement those changes. No consensus has been reached yet, according to Pemberton, but discussions are ongoing in advance of making the changes for next year. Although Pemberton declined to specify how many horsepower NASCAR is looking to cut, sources familiar with the discussions said the reduction would be in the neighborhood of 75 to 100 horsepower. Currently, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series engines make about 860-900 horsepower at most tracks. Discussions are still in the early stages, Pemberton said, but given the fact that there are so few engine suppliers now, they will need plenty of lead-time to make changes for next year.

See Red Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 While I don't think Bowyer spun purposely, it wouldn't really be giving up a good run, would it? He had a flat so his good run was over regardless. It was just :censored:ty luck for Gordon compounded by a :censored:ty decision to take four tires.

Needschat Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I am one of those that believe Bowyer spun at Richmond purposely. I know he didn't yesterday, no way. He had tire problems, and it was clear he did. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it, then again, I miss the Daytona priest that used to give an under 30 second invocation: Basically it was "Let's us pray...rapid fire speak...Shalom and Amen."

LAWeaver Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 In his post-race interview with ESPN, the anchor asked "If Keselowski was standing right next to you, what would you say?" Kurt responded by saying (Paraphrased a little) "...We don't need you clowns [to keep egging us on]..."While it does seem wrong for the anchor to "egg them on", calling the anchor "a clown" doesn't seem right (then again, he could've said something a lot worse). He may be right, but he could've avoided the question or simply say "Ya know, I'm not going to get into that, I just wanna talk about the race, Brad doesn't concern me at this point, etc." @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Betcha if Kes had the chance, he may have roughed Kurt up some more. Was hoping Allmendinger had a Top 5/Top 10 finish, it's just the pit stops he had when he was in the Top 10 killed his chances. His crew just wasn't fast enough (he lost I think 6 positions in 2 pit stops, then found himself in 20th and just couldn't fully recover). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The engine is an integral part of that. We also have to be in step as much as possible with the car manufacturers and where they're going with technology and different things. It all has to come together, and that’s the next significant part of the rules package. … The engine will get a significant change. I'm not going to say (for) '15, but we are certainly sizing that up. It's very important for us to get that right."According to representatives of NASCAR's three manufacturer partners, who took part in a conference call with reporters Tuesday, a potential reduction in engine horsepower is still in the very early stages.

Needschat Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Okay, so TMS owner Eddie Gossage can spend millions on Big Hoss, but can't put SAFER barriers all around the track? In this day and age of too high speeds and fantastic down force, tracks need more barriers, not a big television. Oh what could have been....

LAWeaver Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I was listening to the race for the past half hour or so and tracking it during two classes since it began.
