We've had many people saying that nascar personalities are very boring. Well, that a personality move. NASCAR needs this type of controversy. Look at the stands at Richmond. Not very full. We need energy!Glasswolf said:
We've all seen Hamlin and Logano do similar things on the track. Doesn't make it right but it is what it is.
We just disagree.PossumJenkins said:
Hamlin did that after Ross wrecked him. And I say that with Ross being one of my best friends. That wasn't aggression. Aggression is fine. Aggression is what everyone was mad at Ross for. He was 3 car lengths back. He wasn't even close to making the corner. Then you hook the 11 for a possible head on into the wall. That was pitiful
PossumJenkins said:
You can disagree. But there's no disagreement that move takes zero talent. And it won't do anything for the sport. Cause next week the 3 will be exactly back to where he runs. In the back. I don't like any of the 3. I'm not choosing one. But Denny and Joey are ******s with talent. Austin is just a ******
A lot of people thought Ross was a ****** as well. I never did! I'm not a fan of any of these guys. In fact, I pull for Mr. Boring, Chase Elliott. That said, NASCAR has gotten too rules happy, for too long. Similar to F1. Right now, F1 is growing, NASCAR doesn't appear to be.PossumJenkins said:

The series, which I've watched since the early 70's, is needing some fire. If this does it, then so be it.

Ross is a ******. But his grandfather isn't Richard Childress. Ross can drive. Look if not for Preece and Wrecky. Austin shoulda won the race. That's not the issue. He absolutely butchered the restart (cause he sucks) and then blew 1&2 on the second lap (cause he sucks). Which allowed Joey a 3 car length lead. If he was on the 22's bumper and he moves him. Or bumps him. Or hell flat out even wrecks him. He was there. And we can all talk about whether that's racing or it isn't. Completely fair argument. But because he sucks as shown above…he was 3 car lengths back. And drove 300 feet deeper in the corner than his car would have allowed him to turn. The only requirement is keeping your foot on the gas. Had he not hit the 22, he knocks down the turn 4 wall and finishes 20th. Aggression. Personalities. Dale Earnhardt. None of those things are in play here. A guy who's not very good at driving had a faster car than he knew what to do with and this is what happened. That's the issue.
At the end of the day, all that you said is irrelevant for me. The series needs a boost and this will create a talking point. If it takes a non-driver to create the boost, then it is what it is.PossumJenkins said:caryking said:A lot of people thought Ross was a ****** as well. I never did!

Yep. Dillon is still a hack.PossumJenkins said:
That's awful. That takes no talent. And if it was anyone other than the 22 or 11 he'd get a well deserved ass whippin

Let's talk about NBC again here for a second... not only do they push the time until 6:00 PM on a Sunday evening so that it doesn't coincide with those awesome "Closing Ceremonies"... but then even with an open time slot, it gets punted to USA... again.
NASCAR has no business partnering with NBC.

Nope. That move will be the new promo for the action track. Was there and lot of emotion in the stands…lol
Kyle Busch was at one time that course personality but he's been stuck so far back in the pack the last year and a half he can't punt anyone. Instead he's either getting punted or punting himself.caryking said:We've had many people saying that nascar personalities are very boring. Well, that a personality move.

How many times will NASCAR show commercial for next race with 3 car hitting #22 and #11 and censored post race comments?

It was up against local Sunday newscasts and then whatever comes on afterwards. Period. Nice lie though.
I've been asked if Dillon could keep win but lose playoff spot. Playoff eligibility rule: "Race finishes must be unencumbered by violation(s) of the NASCAR Rules or other action(s) detrimental to stock car auto racing or NASCAR as determined in the sole discretion of NASCAR." https://t.co/Zy8HJ1XhQQ

The only redeeming benefit of all that now is that neither Logano nor Hamlin got the bonus points for the win!ncsupack1 said:TheStorm said:

Agree. Plus 25 points and the spotter is gone for 3 races. Basically a empty trophy.

Not as disappointed as I was off turn 4. https://t.co/0srS4wrlob

Considering he's still listed as in 25th place in the points it doesn't matterGetOffMyLawnPack said:
Can't readily find the quote right now, but prior to the nascar announcement, Hamlin observed, "there's about $2MM difference between 32nd in points to 16th in points, so any fine for Dillon less than $2MM says the move was worth it financially". He ain't wrong.
