The Official NASCAR Talk Thread

Good for NASCAR for showing a big brassy pair. I wish it got Gordon in, but whatever. It screwed over MWR, which is nice.

Not a Waltrip fan?

Not a fan after last year's Martinsville race.

**** just hit twitter. Blowing up is an understatement.

Any tweets from MWR members or drivers involved?

Toyota cannot be happy with this, they told him no more BS after the jet fuel debacle a few years back.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I wish they still had that show "Inside NASCAR." It MW was a co-host. I would love to see him squirm and dodge 30 minutes of questions and highlights from this race.

Michael Waltrip ‏@mw55 28m
This wasn't a master plan or about a spin. It's about a split-second decision made by Ty to try to help a teammate. I stand by my people.

heres the deal, if Michael had just driven the 55 Saturday night, he could have spun out and nobody would have ever questioned it.

You're probably right

He really is

Report is it may be 300k per car, or 900k total. That would be epically huge

That would be epic.

Still wouldn't touch this: F1 'Spygate': $100m fine for McLaren - CNN.com

But for a NASCAR team, 900K might be enough to essentially park a team like FRR for a race or two. Not sure how it will affect MWR.

Not much, but it's better than the NFL's $20k penalties

Had to laugh.

Dang... I thought it was 300k total. That's pretty steep.

I hope Bowyer fesses up to the spin. I think he needs to if he wants to save any credibility in the garage.

I actually kinda liked Bowyer up until that point

How do you guys feel about Truex? I feel bad for him. I hope Napa doesn't drop him

I'm not bothered by it. If the 15 doesn't spin on purpose he wouldn't be in anyway. I have my doubts about his innocence in all of this.

I don't feel bad about it. His owner f'd him
