LASTCAR posted:Kyle Busch had never been so angry. There he was, on his way to an unprecedented third straight Brickyard 400. Now he had nothing. Nothing, that is, except what was in the pocket of his uniform. Wow

Why does Pocono, a track that kinda produces similiar racing to Indy, seem to not bring up the piss and vinegar in people, yet BY 400 weekend is just full of poo poo takes? This isn't a shot at Pocono btw. That track looks like a GREAT place to go see a race. gently caress, I wish I wasn't broke  .

I think it's more the historic aspect to Pocono in regards to NASCAR. They've been racing there for longer than Indy.

Chrysler wanted to market the Dodge name to performance enthusiasts so they just dropped the name from the Ram.

As someone who knows nothing about NASCAR I was under the impression the idea behind NASCAR is that it was more about skill than having the technological and mechanical advantage. Cars are pretty uniform and strictly regulated. Yet the few races I've seen this year announcers always say Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jrs cars are better where as some middle pack cars just aren't good enough. What's the deal? One of the stats I saw today was how many drat laps Busch has led all year and I know Truex Jr has won a ton of stages this year too.

Because it is about technological and mechanical advantage, even in little things. Put Kyle Busch in a poo poo-tier team car, and he'll run 20th at best. Put a driver from a backmarker team into a good car, he'll run top 10. That's why Hendrick Motorsports has hundreds of wins and Front Row Motorsport has like 2. More money, more man-hours into computer simulations, better engines, better chassis, etc. When Kyle Busch ran for his own team in Xfinity some years ago, he never won a race. His team merged with Gibbs, and suddenly he was winning again. To do well in NASCAR is like 80% dependent on your equipment.

That's not to say a good driver can't wring something out of a poo poo car sometimes and vice versa. Kurt Busch did some pretty impressive stuff in the 51 and the 78 before that team was what it is now, and conversely Danica's been in top equipment from the jump and hasn't done gently caress all with it.

Kurt was also the only one to win in the 54 car in Xfinity when it was a Kyle Busch Motorsports car.

NASCAR release says "a" loose lug nut. Also "a" loose nut on the 6 and 17. Not something that would negate the win.
