Tin Foil Hat Time: If I knew that 78 car was that fast on 30% of the remaining races on the schedule, I'd dump the poo poo out of it too and blame it on a splitter.

Wow, I just watched that regular season points championship trophey bullshit for MTJ, and holy poo poo, if looks could kill. Whew.

NASCAR is so damned dumb that they didn't see that as a horribly uncomfortable time to do that with the way Truex's night ended.

NASCAR is dumber than I thought. Wow.

Dear NASCAR,

I know you have that "I'M BETTER THAN YOU" complex with IndyCar, but for the love of the gods and all that is holy, please ask them for advice on how to place safety equipment.

Alright, I'm in Hurricane Irma and the football games have been preempted for weather coverage (not that they were great matchups anyway because :lol:

JAX@HOU and ATL@CHI). Given that my source of entertainment during Irmageddon has been affected, I'm running a :siren:

gently caress HURRICANE IRMA RACIN' PLAYLIST :siren:

in the Winter Heat Synchtube channel beginning at 2:00pm Eastern (30 minutes from now).

Join me for The Making of Days of Thunder, then whatever the hell else I feel like running in there until either the power/internet goes out or we all get bored.

So do wins still trump playoff points or is homestead already basically set?

A win only guarantees safe passage to the next round of races. After you advance to the next round the wins reset, and you either have to win another race or be up on points. Points do not reset and carry through to the end.

Although I'm confused here: Do we not accrue playoff points anymore? Just stage and finish points and that's it?

You can get more points for later rounds by winning stages/races, yes.

Points "reset" between those who advance and they get ALL bonus points accrued for each round. So Truex gets the 50-60 bonus points for all rounds but Homestead

They will have to spend at least 30 minutes every race explaining this poo poo.

Wait so when they get down to the final 8 then the stage points don't accrue for Homestead? So what's the point of stages at that point?
