NASCAR  has been around a long time .they know not to build a solid racar where the impact  a driver suffers is far more worst that the car .... all the wall foam  maight be outdated for htis new car ...  BUT IT ISNT LIKE THE TEAMS HAD  no say so in building this car from what  i understand  ..  sure or hope  nascar crashed test this car many times  before they excepted  it for the future  then ... .. it has right tire issues fire issues  and injury  issue . two drivers out now for same injury , i did not know bowman wasn   not  in his car today  ... till around midway ..   his car was hit all the way around in todays wreck  and still finished the race  last years car would have been junk .. so prooof something is worng with the new xar ..

My take is you can dump someone on the first lap or last lap and not get a penalty. We have seen Gragson wreck people thus taking out 5-10 other cars on a road course this year and it was admitted intentionally. We get a pay back on a guy who intentionally wrecked Chase at Martinsville several years ago under green and this is the crybabies response. He is the same guy that made an ass clown of himself at Martinsville while Bowman celebrated his win. I realize he lost positions on the transaction, but he did slam the 24 car under caution as payback. Two wrongs don't make a right and a point deduction in the case makes no sense to me. Penalize him a pit stall, qualifying position or, crew chief sits at home but to deduct points isn't right. Nascar missed it and it's called racing circumstances. I've been put to the back when it I was an innocent bystander of the accident in front of me by spinning my modified to miss the accident. The penalty on the 24 is ridiculous.  

i can agree with the u penalty ..the team worked hard to be where they are and that penalty  hurts them too ,

NASCAR Can’t Touch Kyle Larson for Saying What Everyone Is Thinking (msn.com)

if its the truth and it was what byron  did ..i agree that should have been taken care of right then .. u know nascar saw it u know nascar has spotters u know it happened right in front of them and everyone else .. my bet is they over looked hoing it would go away  .denny  pushed to hard lost his talent  and then complains  when pay back comes to visit ..and nascar  may have left it at that  time for denney  to get some punishment 

 TO MANY  races with tire issues .... . and i think nascar gave denny a warning  we will over look a payback from other drivers  and penalize u, .. denny knew  what he was going .. ..  he cocked a large attitude now that  he is a team owner and it has carried over  into  the team he drives for .. he thinks  he is gods gift to racing ,,,,

I think it is dumb to wail on a guy who is wearing a full face helmet not to mention avoiding the seat helmet brace. He gets points for doing it where the fans can see!

 

i had my times when my first thought was to reach in  and punch someone .. leading  the first race of the season  in 1989 ..the second place car rear ended off or turn two at cc speedway . turned me into the back wall  flipped me on my roof and slid all the way down into turn three  ... the driver full throttled me into the wall   never letting off and that was what made me mad more than a new body the next week ..  a few other times things happened  .i decided to cool down then talk to the driver . .either we go out with the two of us and give the fans a wreck  fest show . or fix it right here and now and save the money and time to rebuild .its cheaper getting over a black eye ..

 u hit me while i am in the car like  that , better  check to see if u still have a arm left after i stop .. i consider that an assualt on my life .. wait itll i get out and go for it .its more even then .. anyone who gets mad enough to attack a driver in his car like that .is a coward and should not be aloud to race there again .. if i am going to take an ace whoopen   i would like to be standing  taking it or least trying to stand . .

 LOOKS LIKE MOTHER  nature is going to give its blessings to south texas ranch .. races seem to be on .. after how many  we did not get to race .. ..  worst part i have a  turning 90 years og birthday party to attend . smoked 10 pounds of fajita today  . 

  SPONSOR OR LACK OF  PLAYED ALOT IN THIS .. .. THE   cost was getting way out  of hand  . teams and owners had to find something  to save a buck or two just to even get a sponsors .. . +

Yeah but without those "big names" no one would go watch the show. Just like when the legends would race during the show not very many people would go watch during the day and those races were free to watch. 

Its during the NASCAR race and you have to cater to the NASCAR fans. No nascar fans know who Jett Nunley, Jeffrey Newell, Trey Marcham, Isiah Garcia, Frank Flud, Kyle Jones and many others are. Guarantee though after this race they will know who these guys are. 

Bad thing is you wont get many west coast racers for this because you have the Mark Hagopian Memorial going on that is a $5000 to win 50 lapper in California.

FUNNY seeing those wont show up at texas    the  nascar fans at this texas race wont know them either . no loss lol..gotcha

 WIERD how an explosive car became a great little racecar  

Many folks asked us why  we raced those cars .. Seeing the history ,,those cars got a bad rap with fords bad design.. the tanks two   strap bolts behnd the bumper  were aimed right at the tank . did not take much of a rear inpack to force them into the tank they fixed that  issue  i think 1977 models  .the mustang two  if u wanted to call it a mustang had the same issue ....  we ended up with about 35plus of those pinto's  over the 80s and 90s  last one we built was somehwere around 08or so   and its still round ... nick once told me  probably the first  little car that ford built  had the best front suspention for racing ..the mustang two suspention that  are sold for hot rods . was  the pintos design .. they just would not call it pinto for reasons we know .. .. if u have a pinto  laying around that could be rebuilt  let me . i want to put one back on the streets modified ..

Alan finally brought us rain lol. I'm sure after today, we're probably in a surplus now.

 yep alan did good he told me at the track the next week we would get some rain ..  only thing its lasted what a month ..  at  my  brothers lake house  the water took a walk  during the  last few months  .from swimming and boating to  mowing .. he said to day its up about 80 percent .. ..

Ha!  arob is ALWAYS respectful.  

Rain calls are always a "no win" deal whether it be before or during a race.  No matter the call, someone will be upset. Florida is notorious for unpredictable "pop-up" showers that are hard to precisely track even on the best radar systems.   In the past we have witnessed showers at one end of the track and sunshine on the other!  

 

yep arob is always respectful  i stand corrected ..    SO am i  .. waiting for lightning to  strike           

 nick you can take this    one off .

missing some braces , not to mention  the top  loop was built like   a square . .. but least it helped him  and he is ok .. .. old style cages .

I respectfully disagree. Especially at the high speed ,tight pack tracks like Daytona and Talladega. NASCAR has some of the best radar technology. They could see how very close the rain was to the track. You have to err in favor of safety and they didn't do that. If they threw the yellow this accident would not had happened and would had been a much better race if they were able to restart. With the 47 car being tossed around as it was it could had been much worse.

 u dont have to be respectful to disagree  ..... just disagree .. 

 SOME are mad at nascar about restarting  that created  this wreck ..  NOT ME  no rain on the track  till just a few seconds  before  the cars went into that turn .. np mention if fans near that area or track officials even felt the rain . or had enough time to speak  out with the speeds of those cars ...... rain happend like that more than once at cc speedway  while i was out on the track racing ... so nascar did not affect the outcome in my books . the way the race was going and what was on line  there was going to be a big wreck sometime with out the rain   who would have been involved who knows ,  who would have still missed out being in the playoffs .. who knows ..

well it worked for number 9 the last restart .. but chase had  to know larson or anyone else  down there was going to go in deep  ....it wasnt a dirty move .it was racing and larson is their to win just like the rest  . chase would have done the same thing .. so good race , had  it done to me and i have done that to others .. what6s the old saying 8tires are better than four 

 SAD  .but like it was said he was doing what he loved . ..... RIP
