I'd be a-ok with anybody, no matter how lovely, whether it be Matty D or Gamer Word or Mike Wallace or Zombie Zaxby, running the #24 Liberty University Rick Hendrick Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 into the wall at any point, anywhere. I think we keep wandering from that point

bigbillystyle posted:I thought it was pretty weak by sliced bread to just straight punt the 24 for the win. Maybe I've not noticed it over the last few years or something but across all 3 top series this year there seems to be no thought or care that it is a long season and that at some point somebody is going to have the opportunity to do the same poo poo to you. If that comes at a cutoff race in the chase and the 24 has the chance to run the 22 clean then I guess it's fair game for the 24 just to completely wreck the 22 and let him call it a season instead. Maybe it's just a different attitude now than it was a few years ago as younger and younger drivers get into the sport and it's just accepted you're going to get wrecked for a win at somepoint? I don't know what it is but it rubs me the wrong way to not even see Logano try to run him clean. it's this for me. it's not a "post-pandemic" thing but it feels like my post-pandemic society experiences, and it gets me down as poo poo. it's also that Joey is almost 32 years old and has grown out of complaining so much, but he's never going to grow up from this kind of garbage, and after Brad and Harvick retire (surely coming soon), he's really up there as a "veteran" and it's kind of a Lord of the Flies question of what the hell is maturity on the track if everyone is so short-sighted now. it speaks to how much that first win is a monkey off a driver's back to be in that playoff picture, sure, but it's also a question of what the hell is gentlemanly about this sport anymore, you're on the road with the same people five-sixths of the year, think ahead a little bit for gently caress sake

We're really mad about someone dumping someone for a win at Darlington? Give me chaos. Put all the cars in the wall.

When a guy checks up that hard driving through them versus braking or dive bombing low is always an acceptable approach in stock cars. Did I miss some era of gentleman drivers or something that you guys are using for reference?

I don't know where you're getting this Byron checked up super hard thing from. It looks more to me like he entered normally and Joey went in for his back bumper. Anyway I'm not saying you're wrong in that it's always been done, and honestly I don't really care that the 24 got punted, but for entertainment factor, for me, I'd rather see the 2 guys go head to head and try to win it with good hard racing than just watching somebody get knocked out of the way. Just my opinion on it whether it's Dale, Rusty, Logano, Ty Gibbs, Kyle, Kurt, whoever. If the 24 does it to the 22 later on this year I'm not going to feel bad for the 22 but I'll still be a little annoyed that, as a viewer, I'm getting a potentially great finish wiped out because it's just easier to wreck somebody.

This weeks DBC makes a good point about racing today. Drivers have to race this way. Stages and stage points, wins mean everything. Not excusing Logano, he wrecked Bowman, but they all race this way now. Tommy Baldwin is on this week and he says it better than I am.

I might catch highlights of the race but I’m definitely keeping an eye out for this die cast. Need a “black cement’-styled car on my shelf. https://twitter.com/23XIRacing/status/1524736526537703424

Gotta love the combination of chronic left rear tire failures and a car that can't get rolling with a flat tire, so when your tire goes down you either save the car but lose a couple laps limping it back under green, or you spin without hitting anything and cause a caution but go several laps down because you have to be towed back to the garage.

After the tire went down the 99 was asking for a push from the safety truck but they figured it's better to tow and put them more laps down

Probably the best Kansas race that's ever happened, not that that is a high bar. The tire stuff was frustrating, from the blowouts to guys being knocked out of the race because the cars can't drive on a loving flat if they come to a stop. I felt for the #43 team but I was very entertained watching them trying to get the wheel nut off of the right rear. So between wheels not tightening/falling off to getting stuck on, why can every other race series run a single lug and not have these problems? I've not watched F1 for long, probably like 10 or 12 years, but I feel like Cup has had as many wheel/nut/gun failures in 13 races as I've seen in a decade of F1.

To be fair, NASCAR has twice the cars per race and the teams have a fraction of an F1 team's budget (a very small fraction in many cases), and they've only been using these single-nut wheels for those 13 races. It'll take 'em a while to work out all the engineering and training kinks. Besides, even the best F1 teams have their own ridiculous pit stop issues from time to time...

Fully understandable on the sample size/per race 40 vs 20 and I realize F1, Indy, etc. aren't perfect but my point being that this "technology" has existed for a while. Shouldn't this have really been as simple as we're doing 1 lug now, 8 second pitstops all around? Instead we have only 13 races experience and we're still trying to get a handle on it. I feel like this should have been a copy paste from other series and like the simplest of all the changes to this new car.

Yeah I mean they even sucked at implementation. Most series use splines. For some reason nascar chose fingers that break and are hard to index the wheel onto.

Chevy, Toyota, and Ford have all run sports car factory programs that made use of center-lock wheels. It shouldn’t be hard to call up the next team over, but I do know it isn’t always a slam dunk either.
