How do the Penske cars seem to temporarily pull away from the field on the GWCs on plate tracks? How?

He's not pulling away. The cars behind him are backing up to get runs.

Same thing happened with junyur also. I think it's just this plate package.

About as much controversy as the people mad because two 4 win drivers are out, that now want to got back to before the Chase was instituted.

I'm impressed it took this long for two of Smoke, Harvick, Kurt, and maybe an irrationally pissed off Danica to get into it over something.

e- Harvick was supposed to supposed to push Kurt at the end of the race and went with Logano instead. Kurt gave him a donut on the cooldown lap, which led to ^that^ happening. http://autoweek.com/article/nascar-sprint-cup/kevin-harvick-and-kurt-busch-feud-after-talladega-tussle

quote:

What's important to note is this will likely not be an outright ban on Cup drivers racing in lesser-division events, sources have told SB Nation on a condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly. The forthcoming rule will either have a hard cap on the number of non-premier series races a full-time Cup driver can compete in over a calendar year, or a revision of the current rule prohibiting a Cup driver from racing in the Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series championship finales, and extend it across all Chase races.

It's going to be the latter, isn't it?

Penske's won four of the last five Cup races at Talladega, including three straight fall races. Something's definitely clicking there.



If it's the former, they owe me a nickel for the idea. Getting tired of running NASCAR from my couch for no pay.

Dillon would've been a great comedy pick and Truex was probably the sentimental pick so really all that's left is Harvick because he's been the actual best driver all year

Trying to penalize JGR out of nothing. Cars run in a second smaller pack all the time and somehow it's an issue now about not being at 100%...

Denny Hamlin beat Kurt Busch back to the line by a nose, which ended up the difference in he vs. Dillon going to the next round.

Speaking of which, oh yeah, I did a dumb game. Here's how it's going:
-Kidc, njsykora, and seventimessix are "leading" with 7 points each. All three earned two bonus points in the LASTCHASE challenge by picking the obvious choice of Chris Buescher to finish last. Of those three, NJ is in the best shape with two drivers still alive, registering points for Kes (1, worst in group) and Dillon (4, best in group) plus the bonus.
-Bz22, gret, Possiblychicken/PP14, maffew, fuseshock, and Nit Wit Dog poo poo all have 6. PP14 picked Truex to win the title, so his +3 chance is out the window.
-iwentdoodie, slickdrac, bigbillystyle, and I have 5. Doodie picked MTJ to finish last, which didn't happen.
-Theacox, Mearn, and Denny Hamlin (wow, he's a goon?!?) are at 4. The first two picked Kes and MTJ to win the title.
-Demag has the fewest points at 2, having picked up points for Truex and Buescher; both finished last in their groups. He didn't get the LASTCHASE (Dillon), but can still pick up 3 for the champ (Hamlin).

Here's a new public excerpt from Gordon's autobiography, talking about Atlanta 2001 when Gordon won his fourth title:

quote:

When Jeff beckoned her to the stage, she glared. Her response was sharp and steely. “It’s about time you asked me to come over,” Jeff remembers her telling him. “I thought you were just going to leave me over there. Is this celebration just about you? Is that what it’s all about?”
 
Her bitterness caught him off guard. “It hit me like a ton of bricks,” he recalls. One moment, he was rejoicing in the greatest accomplishment of his Winston Cup career, and the next he was being raked over the coals for his selfishness.
 
“Did I kind of forget about her in that moment? I kind of did,” he admits. “But at the same time, I wasn’t intentionally trying to.”

Jesus Christ.

Steve O'Donnell says that the JGR cars weren't really not giving 100% because they were playing a strategy in running the race at less than 100% and that The Spirit of the Rule is to prevent deliberate, less than 100% actions or race-altering events like Clint Bowyer's magical itchy arm causing him to not run 100%, so no penalty.
