that's a nice car

Or we should wait until they have time to dry and prep the track.  It's just the same as what happens when it rains on a normal nascar weekend.  I can clearly read that some of have a true dislike for dirt.  But if they are going to call these guys the best racers then they should compete on a dirt surface. And don't start with the well then they should go to a dirt track.  We all know that none of the current tracks are going to give up a date to go to a track they don't own.  That's why the cup was never going to eldora.   If they would have removed the windshield and added bars like a "dirt car"  this wouldn't have been a issue.  There is a reason dirt cars don't have them.  You can't call this a failure until they race.  

Tv asked for the dirt race.  Maybe the asphalt guys should have taken a page out of the dirt guys play book and removed the windshields so that wouldn't have been a problem.  

Congrats 

he also has a huge following on Youtube

From my facebook feed a lot of texas racers got in.  Hitech below is your answer

That is very sad news.  Rest in peace my friend until we see each other again.

My only real issue with the chase is the way points accumulate once it starts. The drivers in the chase should only be scored against each other. Bad luck on lap one in the first round should get you 16th place points, not 40th place points. (Unless they've changed that recently?)

They are still running against the other cars.  these are supposed to be the best of the best.  if you don't want points for under 16th place done finish under 16th.

if harvick's  would have had a better last 8 races this wouldn't be a discussion.  he average 12th  and some of those were in the 20s.  he started with a 3 race cushion on points.  he also had the most points at all of the start of the rounds.  a free ride to the championship would mean that he can finish 40th in the playoffs and still run for the championship.  to me that would be worse than what happened this time.   I am a Harvick fan and they may have looked like a champion in the regular season but they did not in the play offs.  congrats to chase!  they won 3 races in the play offs to me that's championship numbers.  

This may not be a comment that most will like but I'm glad it's gone.  All it did by being there was give us a false idea that it could be brought back.  I felt the same with kyle.  If the track is there it give racers a false belief that it may return one day.  San Antonio is doing that right now.  Just because the track is gone it doesnt mean that our memories of it has to go with it.  It is a sad day but happy one as well.

I agree kyle should not have been givin a chance back then but we cant go back and change it.  on the rookie of the year this year the other 2 rookies had just as much chance to win as Cole.  tyler almost did at texas but that was the rules they sign up for at the beginning of the season.

Kyle won at Sonoma, Kentucky,  Loudon, Indy, before the playoffs started.  if Kenseth or Newman would have won a race they would have been in the playoffs.  Kyle wasn't giving a free ride into the  playoffs.  His wavier just like the 2 this year was about the races missed he still had to make it into the playoffs via a win or points.  I cannot stand Kyle bush but he won races to make it into the playoffs then stayed in the points to be part of the four and won homestead.  it took a couple season to get over that fact but he did it as he should have. 

they look like oversized go-carts.  just awesome

Not valid argument Ryan Newman only ended up missing 3 races due to Covid-19 and is still in the top 30 in points, now if there never would of been Covid and the season continued they would of granted him the same opportunity. When Ryan Newman came back to the first race at Darlington he was still 28th in points missing 3 races. Knowing the driver Ryan is there was no need to offer that deal for him.  For context JH Nemecheck, Ty Dillon, Ryan Preece, Corey Lajoie, Daniel Suarez, Brennan Poole and Quinn Hoff have all run 31 races except for Suarez and Poole who have run 30 and Newman is still ahead of them.  Kyle Larson has only run 4 races and is still 34th in points. 

Busch in 2015 missed the first 11 races and then came back for the AllStar race and first points paying race was the Coca-Cola 600 race #12. His first win came at Sonoma that year race #16. Remember he had to be in the top 30 in points and have a race win before they would let him in to the playoff. He didn't get into the top 30 in points until he finished 2nd at the Watkins Glen Race race #22.  The last race of the regular season he was 25th in points with 1 win. 75 points over 30th place.

Remember in 2015 when Shrub Busch broke his leg and NA$CAR made an exception to get him into the Chase  - and he won the title, despite missing a large percentage of the races? Did they make the same exception for Ryan Newman after his injury this year (also in the Daytona 500)? nope...   JGRPrivelege is right.

they did give Ryan Newman and Matt Kenneth the same wavier.  the difference is that neither of them made it to the top 16 in points or won a race.    

i37 was USRA this year for sport compact

the crew chief is always the first to go.  they are easier to replace than the driver but not always the issue.

Both have sold 

that will make someone a nice car

Yes we can blame NASCAR. they should have removed the pull rope and did the investigation.  But they decided to release it before any investigation.  Bubba had nothing to do with this and would never had say it because drivers are not allowed in the garage at thos time.  Bubba was alerted by the nascar president.

if the noose story is real and done by an individual.  it has nothing to do with the flag it has to do with a jacka$$.   

its actually fun to watch

I am a big supporter of I37 but I'm not sure I think this is a good idea.  but i wish the racers, crew member and track safety and the best luck.
