That was a restrained response by Denny. I don't think he took a shortcut by choice but how does Briscoe not immediately know he had a penalty. Kid, this ain't Mario Kart

Hamlin claims the 16 nailed him into turn one and that's what drove Briscoe off

Is there anything that could sum up how far NASCAR has fallen E: Negatives aside, good for AJ. Took wild rear end circumstances to get there but that is cool seeing a part time team go in there and steal one.

Ultimately you're racing hard, racing for the win, and Briscoe is uniquely inexperienced/dopey to not know what was going on. But I'm wondering if the penalty was misapplied in the way it unfolded that in letting up and with Denny passing that. He did advance his opinion on re-entry, but he also slowed up and Denny passed him again (not sure if intentional or just regaining speed), so did he advance his position, or compared to whom or when?? It certainly doesn't seem like a penalty was necessary for enforcing a competitive equity here, and I am not sure that the letter of the law justifies it either.

Denny got dumped because Briscoe did it on purpose. He probably thought Denny was responsible for shoving him into the grass. What a wonderful finish. Also lol at the 15 dumping oil all around the goddamn track and Kyle Bush forcing him off for it. Edit: lmao it was James Davison, goddamn that guy cannot stop loving up in the top level of every series he competes in, who sponsors this clown? (lmao it's Skip Barber) Reynold fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Aug 15, 2021 |

The dump was on purpose, but did Briscoe know he was a dead man walking or should he have expected to be a dead man walking? I think he didn't because he is dumb, but I think there is a smart argument that he shouldn't have believed he would be.

I don't think it really matters whether or not he knew he was gonna be penalized or just plain thought Denny would pull off the win if he didn't run his rear end over. The 11 was in the way, and they had already traded paint earlier in the lap, it was always gonna be this way.

Run IRP next year tia. Also, that's twice NBC has bailed on a marquee race for other programming and that was after they botched a side-by-side and panned over and zoomed onto an empty section of track. gently caress them and Rick "Las Vegas Rams" Allen sideways.

Looking at the lineup for the final restart, between no win Hamlin, never won Briscoe, and part-time ride in Trophy or Steering Wheel mode Dinger, I felt like somebody was going to get desperate and punt somebody.

I've been going to IMS for the Brickyard 400 since they started it in 1994. My dad always took me, but I never really got into NASCAR until much later. He hates the road courses, and was pretty unimpressed to learn that they'd be running the IMS road course instead of the oval this year. After today, he hasn't changed his mind, but did admit that it was a pretty good race. I can definitely remember more boring races than good ones on the oval track, and I'm glad they made the switch.

I have to admit that waiting to see who's going to be the first car to blow a right front fifteen laps into each green flag run is definitely not as entertaining as waiting to see who's going to be the first car after each restart to tear their oil pan off jumping over a crumbling sausage curb and wipe out half the field with the resulting oil slick.

Austin had the momentum, he had the spot, no amount of side drafting was going to get it back so why was the 2 pinching him down like that? Which I agree with, kind of a dick move by the #2, but where was the #3 spotter? Still there, stay down, still on your quarter. Should have never happened. chamois posted:The battle for 16th in the points is like the roadrunner and wile e coyote if it was two wile e coyotes

Got nothing against Harvick just enjoying the broken system that would allow a guy who just barely makes the playoffs start off with a better points position than a guy who locked in a race early. Nothing will ever top "series championship won by a guy who hadn't won a race in a year and a half in a system where WINNING MEANS EVERYTHING".

I'd love to see Reddick win his way in at Daytona. He's probably the best driver not currently locked into the playoffs. Looking at the points though, it's wild the difference in the week-over-week performance of harvick and everybody below him. I feel like anybody from 15 up is a legit shot to win every week and then everybody below is on the hauler more often than they cross the finish line.

Mostly curious about how Harvlin have been such a spectacular flop this year vs last year when the two of them won like half the races. . .

If the Hendrick cars were as scuffed as they were last year, I think Hamlin at least has 5 wins this year. Harvick seems totally rudderless though.

Is it worth getting a scanner for an NHRA event? We're going to the zMax races soon. I know I'll need ear pro regardless but didn't know how useful scanners were at drag races.

I've never used a scanner. Only in-ear protection is going to be sufficient for top fuel. I've never used a scanner at a NASCAR race either, just an FM headset tuned to the local station. So take that for what it's worth.

I'd say at a drag race you're not going to get much mileage out of a scanner. it's not like you're going to be hear pitstop or team communications / spotters. they don't have time to talk in the drag car. you may get some track safety crew frequencies and hear that stuff but mostly even then if a car crashes i'ts mostly get in ambulance / crew vehicle and drive to secene you're nto going to get a lot of conversation unless i'ts real bad.
