There's a 5th category. I was at SAS at 3 weeks old, I think I fit into the old-timer category even at 37 but NASCAR had gotten monotonous and boring so I stopped watching. What brought me back really was the trucks on dirt...then the road courses...then Cup on dirt and on and on. Now I try to watch most every race again (as long as RaceonTexas doesn't have something). I watched Chicago and enjoyed it thoroughly. The 5th category is old-timers actually interested in what NASCAR is doing now. 

WOW  37  .shoot u are still wet behind the ears  .young man .. i got u on 30 more .nick well  he has me  by .i cant count that high takes to long ..

Tough situation.  The money guys run what they want, and if they get claimed, they refuse and they are never coming back.     The track loses a car or two and probably a sponsor.     Maybe the claim rule should be the part is confiscated if they do not comply.   Maybe that is more of a deterrent than a DQ.

  IF U LOSE A CAR a driver and team    that wont pass tech or care to  . U lost nothing .. u gain in the end  when drivers notice  the track is not playing  any games .and i would want to race there .. if u are worried about a car or two  not coming back over not passing tech  .you  should not be running a race track .. this is coming from an actual use  to be  car owner builder  driver  and team mates to others ... till i retired from racing of late ... i care not to race at any track who will not tech who will not penalize .

My dad ran IMCA cars at Lone Star, Rose Bowl and Thunder Hill in Jacksonville with the claim rule, and it really did police things a lot.  I remember he'd go to the used car auction and bring all these $500 trucks home to steal the motors out of them for that class, haha.  

There are 16 million folks within an hour of HMP, the take rate on participation shows the costs involved need to be re-evaluated.  I think the shock claim rule is a good idea, but some fine tuning. Didn't help that the rulebook hasn't been updated yet since the hastily copy-pasted one that has some parts that aren't fully written or developed in it, Owen and Karl are great but they're rebuilding what was never really built in the first place.  I think it's pretty reasonable to give them props for saying "hey we made an error here, let's make it right".

OWEN  is known  to be fair and may  make a mistake but will  own  up to them ..

Without a claiming rule, they will continue to run these $1000 shocks, $6000 Transmissions and cheated up crates.   

WORDS spoken from a true  car owner driver team mate .... lol..

Yea, rain element made it interesting for sure.  It was manageable to run the race when the rain slowed down and the puddles were gone, unlike when they tried it at COTA.  But the COTA deal was part of the learning process.  They got it right this time.

 rain or dry ..if u are a racer   with talent u can over come the problem .. ...  dirt  racers do that  very weekend  .start out wet and slick  ..

NO!!!

It was alright and only one real train wreck. I loved SVG, with his roots in dirt Sprints/Midgets, was able to get the win over the regulars. That was the best part of all, and golly-gee, he passed everyone clean!....No bump-n-run, no shoving out of the way, no door slamming.....While some, on the other hand, drove as usual, with head up rectum.

PART TIME road course drivers  against a full time  road course driver .. put  him  on a circle track he may have issues  .. he showed alot of drivers how to do it .. had the two lead cars had tires he would not have  had got to them with out a yellow  .. .. but i was amazed at his driving abuility  and jumping into a reverse  car  isnt all that easy .. ..... i wont question him on a road course  ..  who knows just how good that car was or how bad it was ..  some drivers have the talent to figure how to get the most ..

WELL the wet track  didnt really hurt the race ..  it showed who the best drivers were  or least the  smartest ;; .  ..

GLAD MARRY ANN  IS OK  ..after getting hit and knocked out   at the track  .. bad deal  where four teams are bared  ..

While I get your point Josh....I really don't see "William" Wallace going to congratulate Ross after the win....I'd put money on that being Suarez intent and not wrecking Briscoe......Which would be why nothing more has been made of the incident......jmo

if u are going to demand  FRONT AND CENTER dont complain ..

 just your style 

 NOW    he is  going after nascar for double standard   becuase he is black ....... i suppose nascar is now racist .. u know he didnt make any friends after the noose deal .. fact he made alot of  folks mad when it was found that noose was there already  ..and  ran blm on his car .. . i do not and never judge a person by their color  i use to be a fan of his wished him good luck    fact alot of fans turned on him .. .. i judge a person  based on them .. ..i have had enough of that mans attitude and mouth  ..

Kaulig racing is certainly stirring up a lot of trouble in the Xfinity series, to where the point they are bullies.  I know it is exciting and the fans love it, but it gets old for the kid Chandler Smith to thump the bible while acting like a goon.   

 WHAT and u dont like it .. ..

Money actually goes to some of the charitable NASCAR foundations. Only good part about it for the teams. Drop in the bank for these folks.

wonder if they figured out a way to write  that off .. 

 i like to  know where the money goes to  .

if owen  would have been in the right state  growing up . it would not be a surprise he could be running nascar ............... i dont think  anyone in this state has that much love and tolerance   to put himself through the riggers of promoting  tracks like owen has .. . he breaths racing . look at some of the  young drivers we have now .. i wont name em but least  four i can think of started in go carts just a few years ago and are top compitors now ....  owen  still does the go carts racing shows in between  everything else .. more future drivers .. 

CHASE  got what he deserved  ..A  hit like that at cc  took my car out for good off ..  four   just two weeks before my son was born   the driver who was paid to wreck me  admited it at my shop when he came over to help  get my back up car put together . he felt bad for what he did and turned down the money  ... he was just to take me out for that night  .. that hit put me driver side right into the wall  i flat sided the wall .. that one did not  feel good at all for me or the car .. .so no sympathy  from me on chase or wallace .. hamlin cars could have turned sideways  just like mine ....remember davey and petty  at the same track  . 

Surprised  no one has mentioned this .. ERIC  hit pushed bubba hard  during the rain break . mister tough guy bubba  didnt do anything about it ..he looked scared .. .. but he will pick on someone smaller  .. id bitch slap  bubba  before he could blink . he is making enemies  he  thinks his dont stink he has gotten way over his head ... as for hamlin ..he knows him and elliot  do not get along on the track   he hit chase more that once or crouded  if u think    if the last three or four laps . chase stayed cool  till he was pushed into the wall .. and hamlin another sissy cries about it ... i am sure nascar will penalize chase ..  .if not chase would be special ...

 FIRST time i watched this race from start to finish . i really never gave much thought  those airplanes on the  ground were actualy cars .. .. .... u wont get much  side by side racing .  at that track  which  as u can see isnt all that safe and smart  with aero package   and track being  flat .. but  over all  i thought its was a fun race to watch  ..  i was pulling for that driver in aj foyts car .  car was fast   he did  not get a good restart   i thought he had the best car and could have  gone by both of the leaders .....but the winner was fun to watch ..i think he had fresher tires and maybe two lap shoot  out  instead of one  may have done the trick .. i noticed alot of  drivers were not happy  with a one and done  lap .. i look  at it  this way  .had  they finished   riding around for three more laps  . none of them would have had one more shot at the leader  or moving up a spot or two . .. just riding around  dang  just one more lap all i needed .. what could have been  ..wont know , next year  indy should put in a  system  like nascar just in case  of this deal happening  again   if they do not want to look  like they favored a car owner .. i  ddnt really think the owner would have pulled that stunt .but who ever  has  control of the race  could have .

Man I don't know. It'll be work but Owen is one I could see to get it going but she sure looks sad right now. Would need more than some weed eaters. Eviction notice for the neighbor would be a start.

 TAKE  alot of work  and money to  get it up and running  safely ../ i bet  alot of electrical  work would need to  be done .who knows how much  was stolen from there .. no i am not counting it could ever happen  .. then u have to deal with the city  .i dont know if  it still has its grandfather claus ..

 DID THE OWNER  play a PART  .i would say 60,40.. leaning towards yes ..  but at the same time i would not be happy  going there and not see a finish at speed .. outside of weather creation .. i thought  there was a min speed rule on restarts ..  if so .. the leader should of had on that one chance to get it right .. . that non  start cost them an extra on racing lap ..  he should have been penalized . plus a tire crossing outside the pit line .. .....i could care who  won  really  but aj foyts driver put on a  great show for his team  .  started pulling for him ..  but i have no issue with the winner  .it was time .. . i  noticed one thing  ..it sure didnt hurt  to have nascar soft wall  at that track ..  thanks to nascar ..

i can bring my old bike ..i might make a lap and slow to boot .. just have medics at the half way mark .. 

 WHEN  we raced the green  8  purestock at sa kyle and cc even on dirt  we had some tires  that . i cant remember the brand   with out looking at a pic  those were bad ass    my brother inlaw ownes a tire store  and after burning up firestones every night    i  ask my brother inlaw  to find me some legal  tires  that wont burn up ... .... wow  did he  joshua ran a second faster  than anyone at sas when cris and them opened the track  for those what four race weekends .. he won  5 or  6  races two were features .. .. everyone thought  the motor was ilegal   it was a brand new in the box factory chevy motor from the dealership ..  those tires  ran almost all season   fact he was winning at kyle leading the points and cc speedway winning races there leading the points that year  and those tires played a big part of it all .. just  to bad  he got hit in the right rear  tire solid and bent the car  where we had no time left in the season to fix the issue  she ran loose after that ..  other wise he would have won  both championships that year .. i like what  mike is saying  with building a class like that ..  .. and james i am in the minorty aswell .i still  build most of our motors and tune them the old fashion way .. just finished a 468  13 to 1 twin  750 700 plus hp  for  the jet boat // still love  building  our motors .
