Of course people know who Dale Jr's dad is, he's driving the number 88 that his father made famous.

It boggles my mind what a oval office Teresa Earnhardt is. Dale would be so disappointed. http://www.sportingnews.com/nascar/...op141brytlirn6g

The hilarious thing is she had this reputation before he died, his relationship with her always strained the family, and he still left her in sole control of his legacy. He would be 100% on board with this as her having control is how he set it up. I'd be shocked to hear he didn't tell her to burn it down if he wasn't there to oversee it totally.

There used to be a rumored rule (20 years ago) at a track around here where anyone (supposedly fans included) could claim the winner's engine after the feature. I never heard of it actually happening. I would just assume that's when the firearms would come out.

also, I've found it better for all involved if a track offers a bounty on the guy winning, instead, preferably one that rolls over week to week and increases

http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2016/5/11/kyle-busch-crew-chief-penalized-kansas-2016.html Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs racing are a disgrace to the sport. Mr Gibbs if you love Jesus so much why does your team keep cheating? I call for resignation and end of team asap.

Apparently one lug nut had no threads so it looked like there were five nuts on the wheel but one was just glued there.

Is the 5 lugnut thing just a carry over tradition thing? Why not go to a single, and cut all this garbage cheating out?

How about treating it like they got disqualified from the race, give up any prize money and 0 points from race.. in the world of one win gets you in.. you can try stupid poo poo and hope you don't get caught.. especially early in the season. This was a blatant cheat not a "bend the rules a bit"

Maybe it's kuz I hate the super buschio bros, but it's not a "missing lug nut" it's a glued on lug nut so that when they put the tire on it looks like all 5 are on and they don't get black flagged. It's not an oops we tried to get by with 4 For now it's here give us a nickel and now you have to call your crew chief on the phone.

It was only used in our division 1 time that I remember and it didn't work. I forget the details but remember the guy who was accused was like, say goodbye to your money rear end in a top hat. You had to pony up like $500, I think, claim that somebody was cheating and if you were wrong, the track kept your money. Basically we tore this car down for nothing, you lose your security deposit mother fucker.

In the current system, thats .7 of a point. The only people I can ever remember really getting creamed are Carl Long (lol) and MWR. NASCAR doesn't take away wins, ever, and even if they did, it wouldn't be for a goddamn lug nut.

I think that lugnut thing is hilarious and exactly the type of cheating NASCAR needs to have come back. e- the actions detrimental thing tells you they had them on a technicality, prolly something along the lines of "you said there had to be 5 glued and 5 tight, that bitch is tightly glued what you talkin bout" "ACTIONS DETRIMENTAL THEN WISEASS"

At the dirt track I went to growing up in the 80's-90's, I think the engine claiming rule in late models was: any other driver could buy the winner's engine for the predetermined fair cost of an engine. It was in place so you wouldn't have people spending $50k on a motor and winning every week. Not sure how it worked if it was actually determined they were cheating when they broke it down. But I'm guessing that's different than the rule Billy was referencing.

Low class, small bucks? It works like a champ. Late model as in wedge style, 4 link rear late? lol they are showing up in $150,000 haulers they are just gonna cheat in seventeen other ways

I am down with no pitting during cautions. You should win the race on the track not by lugnut cheating. I guess we need cars that can pass other cars then so this will never work.
