I still can't believe NASCAR swallowed the whistle when the 18 hit the wall...

It's a moot point because the 78 would've won anyway.

To be fair. It was a poo poo race because Truex was that much better than everyone else. It was reasonably racy from second through 5th-6th for most of the race.

Also, Nascar swallowed the whistle because they knew if Truex lost on a late restart because of "everyone dose the opposite of the leader" nonsense, fans would have burned down CMS. And rightfully so.

NASCAR seems to have squashed overly aggressive, physical racing when it suspended Matt Kenseth for two races last year for taking out Joey Logano.

petulantly crashing another driver as part of a pointless feud no one cares about is not what i would consider "aggressive, physical racing." his point is valid but that example is the worst

There's also a difference between "taking out" and bulldozing someone so hard that neither car can drive away from the accident (at goddamn Martinsville no less)

Man, I sure remember the good ol' days when Dale Sr would wreck himself and someone else just to make a petty point. Basically, this article has "aggressive, physical racing" confused with driving like a complete loving idiot.

I mean the only difference between Earnhardt and Kenseth is that Kenseth also wrecked. Earnhardt was a total rear end in a top hat. Earnhardt would wreck people at Talladega for gently caress's sake.

to be fair to Tony, you can see Kenseth come up and brush him, and come towards him a second time before Tony dives him

also, that clip doesn't show it but like half a lap prior Kenseth had him all jacked up on the straight

no excuse, but that clip gets tossed out like Smoke said that and on lap one tried to kill him unprovoked, and it wasn't really like that

Start the clock until we get either a NASCAR DRS, or they go full NASCAR and it's a DES (enlargement) which activates for the person in the lead when gap to 2nd is under 2 seconds.

At this point, it really seems like the only way to get a different winner is to penalize the Gibbs cars (including the 78) a cylinder per win.

Also I know this really doesn't need to be said, but 1 dominating win and NASCAR is ringing the 'CHANGE EVERYTHING' alarm? Where the gently caress were they the last few years with MONTHS of actual bad races?

I should be frustrated by the fact that in a season of good races, we have one dud and NASCAR reacts, but then I remember that the mindset from the top at the start of last season was "I think the racing is exciting." (-Brian France, January 2015) and nothing was done then. In other words, :downsbravo:.

e- Like, they keep the green out when Kyle Busch AND Ryan Blaney have problems when they've thrown cautions for much less than that, which provided A Good Winner and a nice story, but then they bitch the race was bad? :psyduck:

Watching the 2001 Bud Shootout for some reason and it's interesting to compare the FOX commentators then and now. Joy and Waltrip sound the same, while McReynolds is much easier to understand now than he was at that point; it's night and day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXGN4QWYO1U

Somebody also pointed out on Sirius today that half the drivers from the Top 20 in points in 2005 are out of the sport now. I thought that seemed a bit strange, but after checking, Martin, Wallace, Mayfield, Gordon, Sadler, Jarrett, Nemechek, Vickers, and Jeff Burton are out of Cup, with Stewart leaving. :stare:

Biffle, Edwards, Johnson, Newman, Kenseth, Kurt, McMurray, Harvick, Junyer, and Kyle remain.

For whatever reason, it feels like Bowyer, Hamlin, Truex, etc. have been around longer than they actually have and should be there in place of guys like Nemechek, Sadler, and Vickers. Those three (Bowyer, Hamlin, Truex) were all 2006 RoTY candidates.
