Happiest driver in Na$car is Mark Martin. Got out of MWR before the s*** hit the fan.

Nah, I still think it has to be Danica. One of the top 10 highest earners in all of Motorsports, and very little in the way of expectations.

Good point, but I still think Mark's happy enough for a Gieco commercial.

Rumor has it Mark is going to be a go-between for Danica next year between her and the crew chief ( says she doesn't need a "coach"). Also will be testing for SHR.

NASCAR and its teams, all of them, will be fine.

The sensationalizing is ridiculous. Sorry, for the truth.

I never said you were wrong. I was just letting Steve know that you are a troll.

So troll = being right. I'm cool with that.

Whatever rationalization helps you feel good about yourself.

Who is rationalization? You said it, not me.

Don't worry about it. Let me just put it like this, you are an ass****. That is what I should have just told Steve to begin with.

 

[bubbacurry1]

Doozer. have you ever been in a race car? Simple yes or no question....

 

[YankeeVol]

I like turtles

Indeed. Also of interest, the Truck Series is racing again this weekend. Third weekend in a row. I have gotten so used to them racing every other weekend or every month. Nice to have them on a more regular basis.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I probably won't sleep tonight.

Yes.

Random thought: I was playing NASCAR on the PS3 at New Hampshire, and for me that track still reminds me of Adam Petty. I can't believe that it was 2000 when he died. He seemed to have such great potential.

 

[doozer]

RPM never recovered. That was a tough year.

Nascar sent a loud and clear message. Nascar officials are the only ones allowed to deliberately manpulate the outcome of the race.

Just saw the clip of communications from the 38 car about logano. Pretty clear. I wonder what NASCAR is going to do.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Helton: "There’s not conclusive evidence the 15 spun intentionally."

So basically NASCAR is penalizing Truex who didn't do anything wrong and lets Clint and the #15 team, who did do something wrong, off free.

If there is no conclusive evidence then what exactly is Nascar penalizing?

Not much different than buying owner points to start off in the top 35.

Isn't the buying of owners points allowed by the NASCAR rules?

As far as I know.

As far as I know.

It definitely used to be. I'm not 100% sure about now, but I would assume it still is.
