He mentions JPM going to somewhwre else in NASCAR. Where isn't he going to IndyCar?

I think that was posted before that was announced . I might be wrong.

Also, looks like there are some changes on the table for 2014's Sprint Cup Series schedule. There might even be a road course race in the chase

How dare Brad Keselowski run the 2 car

As I said, the fan pressure on that young man (Austin Dillon) next year is going to be large. If he performs like Danica or Stenhouse in their rookie years in that three car I can see a lot of people not being happy. Not that I would be among those people, but you know it would happen. "How dare he run the three!" "He can't even drive!"

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Dillon 2013

It doesn't outrage me that Dillon could be in the #3 by any means. The number was Childress' number long before anybody associated it with Earnhardt.

I just don't think it's fair to do that to Austin Dillon no matter how much I don't like the brothers. Not at this age and experiance level anyways.

How did you come about that photo, Jack?

The more I think about it the more I realize that Pensky and JGR both made out on the Kenseth, Logono moves. Roush actually seems as though he gained something as well in Ricky Stenhouse Jr. He impressed me with his run Sunday afternoon and night . This hasn't always been true, but this is his rookie season.

And boom goes the dynamite We'll see how well he does next year it appears

Quote from Racon :

This is not true... I sat in it for hours last night and it didn't move until I did the driving!

There's AI for that

I'd attempt, but I'm busy on Tuesdays Rony .

Yeah.. if they do race today, it will probably be a night race..

Looks like this will be the first Monday race of the year.

I qualifyed 6th, way ahead of where I thought I would, and then worked my way up to 3rd or 4th in the opening 4 laps. Then, I ran off the track on the quick right hander and got stuck with the front end faced against the retaining wall.

MRT does not have reverse, so I was forced to DNF.

NASCAR never has been consistant with penalties. This should change with the 2014 Rulebook that will have exact penalties for certain infractions.

This whole thing has been a mess though. In the end it will only hurt NASCAR as a whole.

That being said, I like the self-policed system as far as racing incidents. Intentional crashing probably isn't the right thing, but something like what happened at Bristol and California this year is great. Race people the way they have raced you in the past. I'm not wanting anybody to get hurt of course. That was the only downfall of that instance.

I think NASCAR is against saying anything about Bowyer spinning to cause a caution direclty because they themselves do a similar thing. They just blame debris. . They have little credability in my mind due to that already. NASCAR should focus on producing a fair race rather than an exciting race. The fake debris caution last week made the racing less exciting than it previously was anyways I thought.

Quote from Mustafur :

Serves them right.

Could not have said it better myself.

About time NASCAR opened its eyes about something that happened last weekend.

I'm for it I'd watch

Quote from ACCAkut :

F1 night races are like a LFS race with the skybox switched to black

I feel as though in NASCAR night races should be ran only on concrete surfaced race tracks like Bristol, Dover and Martinsville (partial concrete) because concrete is hardly effected by changes in temperature. Asphalt dramatically changes in temperature and grip based upon weather conditions which are hardly if at all changed over the course of a night.

I'm not sure if these changes effect a Formula 1 race as much as they do a NASCAR race. If so, I'd rather the races be during the day as opposed to at night unless F1 someday runs on a concrete race track, or unless a night race helps a great number of fans watch the race live. (IE: A weekday race or a race in a time zone where Sunday afternoon is the middle of the night in Europe).

Quote from RandomnessInside :

You sir, ate my words.

I hope for at least 14 people to turn up.

I will hope to be there, but it depends on a few things in my schedule . If not good luck and hope for a great turn out.

Not sure why I was saying Front Row rather than Furniture Row

I just don't think that Stewart Hass will be the place to be moving forward. They aren't really performing.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

how can you blame kurt for wanting to win?

I don't blame him for that, but I do blame him for going to a higher expectations team. Front Row Motorsports is a growing organization and it takes a good driver like Kurt (albeit hot headed) to get their organization moving forward.

Regan Smith (who isn't the most experianced of drivers at the Sprint Cup level by any means) won the Southern 500 in that car and scored in the twenties in points each year. I'm not so sure somebody of that experiance level would be much better in Stewart-Hass equipment.

Newman is finishing worse than Busch right now

Every organization starts out as a single car operation at some point. If I was Kurt I would have stuck around and seen what I could do at Front Row. In a few years perhaps they would be a championship threat. They are already in VERY good shape to make the Chase (6 points to the good going into the final regular season race) That's something that Stewart Hass is not this year, and would be having a tough time doing even for Tony had he not been hurt. That and he's going to be going to a completely new team. That streches their resources and means that Kurt's team will be even less experianced than Front Row.

The race was really exciting . Was also messy with one third of the race being run behind the safety car. :/

Quote from PMD9409 :

Really good race tonight.

It was a pretty good race . Would have liked to see what Logano would have done with about 10 more laps

In other news.. the truck race was exciting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMglEFpy8nE then http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yz6SiSViOA

Evidently too exciting for some woman : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afhMrr_urt0

1 race remaining before the chase.. Here's the points standings: http://www.jayski.com/stats/2013/pdfs/25ams2013points.pdf

Who is your pick to win the Championship? I'd put my money on Kenseth, but Logono is my dark horse . I'm rooting for Front Row Motorsports, but against Kurt Busch now that he left them.

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Last years' chicane was better

http://www.youtube.com/watch?f ... e&v=Cf-S8a8pG3E#t=776

Yes, it was certainly less dangerous, but equally pointless in my opinion

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

That weird chicane again

I guess it reduces speed, but everytime I see them go through it I go . Cool photos though
