AMRacer89 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 True, but with that 10 points per win deal (at this point) Jeff's 30 points ahead of Tony and tied with Jimmie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyRodriguez Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 as long as Denny Hamlin or Matt Kenseth don't win it! Don't get me wrong they can drive but man, part of being the Cup champ is to be somewhat entertaining, those cats act like they are at a funeral, monotone-one word answers, boring. smile once and awhile guys, you're celebrities!!! I hated it when Kurt Busch won but at least that dude was (is) a butthole, made you talk about something!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck38 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 It is not going to be a Hendrick year, sit back and enjoy!!! Lenny66 This got me thinking so I pulled some statistics and there is a pattern that might develop and for all those conspiracy people out there I think I've found the reason they went to 12 chasers this year instead of 10. 2004 - Kurt Busch 2005 rank - 10th 2005 - Tony Stewart 2006 rank - 11th (did not make chase) 2006 - Jimmie Johnson - 2007 rank - ???? (I think they increased it to 12 because they knew this pattern) Disclaimer... I don't actually believe in a conspiracy but I wanted to make my Jommie Jihnson friend feel bad about JJ being in 9th right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jracer98 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Goofy. The point fine for saying BS is equal to the Chase bonus points for 2.5 WINS??? The drivers should only answer questions either "yes" or "no" until TV agrees to protect them with a 7 second delay and dump button. Just my opinion.

Brad Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Had Nascar put the penalty in affect after the chase starts it would effect him...this way not. The only way this point loss hurts him is if it cost him a position at the end of Richmond. ex. he ends up 24 or less points behind the guy ahead of him in points...even then isn't it a 5 point breakdown from 1 position to the next? so not that big of a deal. As for the tv delay...he wanted it that way...and his fans love him more. Jmo This article off of Nascar.com is interesting...Tony vs. Espn DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced Tuesday that Tony Stewart has been fined $25,000 and penalized 25 Nextel Cup Series driver championship points, as a result of using inappropriate language during a post-race televised interview following his victory Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Chevrolet, retains his fifth-place standing in the series points, with his total points reduced to 2,599. Stewart violated Section 12-4-A of the series rule book (actions detrimental to stock car racing) by using the inappropriate language. "This one's for every one of those fans in the stands who pull for me every week and take all the [expletive] from everybody else," Stewart said to an ESPN reporter as he began to walk away. The curse spoiled ESPN's return to NASCAR. Stewart is feuding with the network, which criticized him two weeks ago for saying he was going to drink a case of beer to celebrate his July 15 win in Chicago. An ESPN analyst said later that Stewart was not a good role model, and Stewart has been reluctant to do interviews with its announcers. He participated in the post-race interview at the finish line, but it ended after he used the expletive. He later criticized the network when asked if he would be celebrating the Indy win with another case of beer. "I don't want anybody from ESPN talking about how irresponsible I am, even though it's legal to do everything I did," he said. "Heaven forbid you actually have fun in life." In addition, Stewart's car owner, Joe Gibbs, has been penalized 25 car owner championship points because of the infraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to point out a sense of scale but I forgot about the "reset" in the Chase. Thanks for the assist. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTONLM04 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Here's one for ya... At the end of the Busch East race Saturday night, after getting the shaft for jumping a restart while leading and having a clearly dominant car, Matt Kobyluck finished somthing like 10th or 11th. After the checkers flew he drove into victory lane got out and gave the thumbs down to the crowd. Then he proceeded to say "that was Bull S***!, that was a Bull S***! call" on live TV (HD Net). Then he got back into his car and drove away. Wonder if he'll get the 25/25 penality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REBELRACER Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Wonder if he'll get the 25/25 penality... maybe not, but im sure it will cause some of the team owners in the upper divisions to maybe look away when deciding who they should put in their car next.
