The NASCAR Thread

[Budnicks]

If Nascar keeps fining the drivers, they're not gonna give very good interviews and take their frustrations out on the track.  Which driver is going to figure this out first?

They're already just a bunch of Robots in front of the cameras now.... Only Hendricks teams can get away with it...LOL...

[A383Wing]

every year that I know of Junior and Mark Martin have always said bad things about restrictor plate racing...nothing has ever been done to them

No fines for Ryan, I am actually surprised.

[A383Wing]

yea....me too

Gibbs got the penalty reduced.   

The points deducted from Kenseth were reduced from 50 to 12, which moves him from 11th in the standings to fourth. The panel also reinstated the three bonus points he earned for the victory for seeding in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

The panel also reduced crew chief Jason Ratcliff's suspension from six races to one race, and eliminated the six-race suspension for owner Joe Gibbs. It let stand Ratcliff's $200,000 fine.

The only action the panel took was increasing Toyota's penalty from a five-point fine to seven points.

Gibbs said he was done with the process and would not appeal anything further.

''Right now, we just want to get back to racing,'' the team owner said.

NASCAR is not eligible to appeal anything further to chief appellate officer John Middlebrook. Spokesman Kerry Tharp said the sanctioning body was disappointed in the decision.

  great to hear.

[thedodgeboys]

Yah NA$CAR got robbed on the reduction of the penalties, I expected a reduction but not as much as they did. I would have upped the fine to 500,000 hey TRD is paying it not Gibbs and 2 race suspension instead of the 6.

Its must be good to be Joe Gibbs 

[A383Wing]

well, if it was Hendricks....it either would have never happened or fines would have been dropped altogether

  Kurt Busch 27.03 @ 181.92 MPH, new Darlington track record... good for him 

[A383Wing]

Another announcer that needs to leave is that Brad Dougherty..like his big butt has ever driven a car...the only reason he's on the TV is because he is supposed to be "part owner" of some car....

he knows nothing about racing

I miss Buddy Baker & Benny Parsons and their announcing

Watching cup race tonight...halfway through...really boring race for Darlington

I really miss the trucks racing 

Bryan

[A383Wing]

Yea for Matt....wonder how well they are gonna scrutinize his car now?

[TruckDriver]

It was a boring race til the last 40 laps. I'm happy Matt won. Better then Busch.

[nvrbdn]

yes, i agree. but listening to d waltrip was so annoying. hes a frigging idiot. even michael said he seen it different, but the idiot kept saying that kasey got lose on his own. he is enough to get me to stop watching.

[JB400]

Upon closer inspection of Kaynes' quarter panel, there wasn't a mark on it or a dent.  My own observation.

yea..I didn't see any mark either

[nvrbdn]

i agree that there wasnt a dent, but he did take tha air off his car. the second he slid up kanes car went lose. kyle went in too hot and slid up the track.

[General_01]

I think Kasey is getting close to paying Kyle back. He was very calm during his interview, but did state that this is the third time Kyle has been around him when he had a good car, capable of challenging for the win, and he ended up with a wrecked car. He stated the obvious. Kyle took a horrible line into the corner and instead of backing off and making the best of it, he went in full bore and slid up the track. He was trying to upset Kasey's car by hitting the corner or rubbing the back bumper or disrupting the air and it worked. I am glad his car went to crap and I can't believe someone in that garage hasn't just kicked his whiney a$$.

I did not see Kyle give an interview after the race. Don't tell me he's back to being a baby again?  

[JB400]

From what I seen, Kasey didn't give Kyle much room to get a good entry into the corner either.  But, I do have to agree that Kyle does knock Kyle out of competition quite a bit.

[Budnicks]

I agree, with Mikey on that one, Darrel's just a NASCAR a douche  , Kyle wrecked Kasey, either with a bump or taking the air off the back of the car on purpose, you can tell by the obscure non-racing line he/Kyle took & if he didn't do it, he was intending to wreck him, got lucky, CHECKERS OR WRECKER
