Me "why"

Grandfather "Because Rick Hendrick isn't winning as much as he was last year."

Sunday nights race was hands down the best race of the year. Funny that the drivers are begging for that aero package during the chase, but nascar says no.

Probably a little more truth to that than we want to believe.

I've wondered why the racing was garbage this year.

Sadly you're probably right.

Hamlin tore his ACL playing pickup basketball on Tuesday. Driving with it like it is.

NASCAR's Denny Hamlin Tears ACL, Will Race Anyway

I thought I remembered him doing that.

I have never torn a ligament in my knee (knocks on wood). How painful would something like that be to drive with?

 

[Crew]

From what I understand, the only pain is during the tear and the following 24 hours as the swelling subsides.

I only partially tore mine in 2009. It hurt longer than that.

This will be one for the dvr and watch tomorrow.

I'll be doing that with any Saturday night races for the rest of the year.

Looks like Furniture Row is closing to signing a multi-year deal with Toyota to become the second factory backed Toyota team. Good for them, when was the last time a team came from nowhere pretty much to this?

What that team has been able to do the last few years is nothing short of amazing. Of course having good drivers helps.

Agree, although even with good drivers it's hard for the smaller teams to do as well as they have.

 

[gofordrew]

I'd love to see Furniture Row add a 2nd team with Bowyer.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Imagine that. A debris caution with 10 to go.

Good day for JGR

Martin Truex has re-signed with FRR and a presser is scheduled tomorrow to also announce the move to Toyota. They will also enter a technical alliance with JGR and receive chassis and motors from them.

Good for all parties involved

NASCAR is ridiculous now.

NASCAR is ridiculous now.

That black flag was a bit ridiculous. Biffle clearly either tapped the brakes or at the very least let off the gas and nearly piled up the whole outside lane. Plus, Keselowski let him back in front of him anyway.
