I'm not a big fan of plate races and Carl Edwards is right. Wreckfests aren't my thing.
At Talladega, everyone blamed the yellow line for causing the last lap crash. This time, I'm glad it happened so far away from the yellow line that no one can use that excuse without being properly labeled as a dumbass.

I don't watch Restrictor Plate Racing. I hate it. The only way to get rid of it is to reconfigure Daytona and Talladega, and the current management would rather die than do that.
Mr. France, tear down those high banks!!!!!
they need to do something fast, this is getting insane, its out-of-control.
but they can keep it all the same, Nascar has to finally put there foot down and black flag drivers for slam drafting and blocking. no matter, its a drive-thru penalty. this will make the drivers think twice about their moves and they need to keep it cleaner
you should watch the plate races they are some of best races of the year :D if the high banks were torn down, then talladega and daytona would just become like any other cookie cutter track on the schedudule, just little longerQuote:

have you watched the last 3 fall Bristol races, that are horrible, from one of the best races to the worst, thanks to the Chase, the Drivers all play it safe and dont try. The chase is what made the racing a joke as drivers dont want to risk going for itQuote:

you got guys like Jimmie Johnson who does nothing the first half the season, and come the 2nd half OMG he's superman, i have an idea for nascar, the first race of the chase starts at New Hampshire, why not move the daytona 500, to that day, cuz the chase really is when the season starts, :rolleyes:
i agree the chase made racing a joke!
