I hope he goes to outlaws where he has a chance to make money and not be stuck in a poo poo truck, then take a decade to see in the main series.

Then again I just love dirt :v:

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

If anyone didn't get to see the truck race yesterday (as I still have , with the advantage of having somehow avoided spoilers all day) there's what appears to be a full video already up on YouTube. I'm going to watch in synchtube at 5 p.m. Eastern and, if anybody out west wants to watch it again later, I might run the playlist sometime later tonight.

I bumped the other thread with the link to the room.

Hey exi7wound.

Austin Cindric killed the hell out of his car on the last lap of NXS.

Leigh Diffey is calling rugby sevens on NBCSN right now and is having a blast doing it and it's making me watch it.

This season has all the excitement of Formula One:

- One or two guys who are perfect week in and week out
- A few more who show flashes of speed but inevitably gently caress up
- 2/3rds of the field having no chance and barely able to stay out of their own way

It would've been race of the year with a caution, a dumping of Kevin by Kyle, and Aric sliding through to win.

Still a Pretty Good Race. 3 of 4 Pretty Good Races, too.

Maybe Foxwoods should throw $2.5M at SMI to run a second race here again.

e- Throw, not through.

I have no idea but I’m gonna go ahead and guess that since the title is a nonissue now, they’re going with whoever can pay to run instead of going out of pocket.

Some maniac in discord wanted to see what 2017 would've looked like with 1972's terrible point system:
    Points are assigned by laps completed and weighted by track length
  • < 1 mile 0.25
  • 1 mile 0.50
  • 1.3 miles 0.70
  • 1.5 miles 0.75
  • 2 miles 1.00
  • 2.5 miles 1.25

And me being a worthless dork with nothing better to do on a monday night/tuesday morning, I did it. I thought I'd post it here in the slim chance anyone outside of discord would care about this:

    32 Full-Time Drivers listed, 35 part-timers left off.
  1. McDowell 6727.50
  2. Blaney 6719.70
  3. Hamlin 6691.40
  4. Logano 6619.45
  5. Allmendinger 6595.00
  6. Bayne 6594.95
  7. Ky Busch 6593.15
  8. T Dillon 6589.95
  9. Truex 6584.40
  10. A Dillon 6581.90
  11. Buescher 6572.95
  12. Menard 6546.95
  13. Kenseth 6537.65
  14. Cassill 6529.75
  15. Harvick 6524.95

It's weird to me with the playoff points now. I think it would work better if they went back to the 10 race no points reset, but you brought your playoff points in. Right now playoff points are way, way too useful. I understand that it's supposed to make the regular season useful, but it is so much that they may as just get rid of the playoffs because 2 or 3 drivers are going to skate to the final anyways.

I hope to the gods the 4th person alongside Truex, KyBu, and Harvick kicks the ladder out at Miami.

In the pre-chase points system, the top handful of drivers, usually the leader or top 2-3, were untouchable heading into the the final stretch of races. You're saying that's also the case now. So what's the complaint if that's how it's always been, really?

If anything, putting so much emphasis on playoff points and winning races throughout the year and throughout the playoffs, only to completely throw those concepts out the window in the final race, makes absolutely no sense to me. I still maintain that points earned through the playoffs should carry through to the final race, where it's either a winner take all (winner "advances" to the next phase of the championship—winning it, in this case) or whoever is ahead on points if none of the top 4 wins. You'd still get the drama but it would keep things more consistent and avoid potential last-race clusterfucks.
