NASCAR loves to see such loyal fans ...
NASCAR feeds those fans BS & they eagerly eat it up ...
get ready as I'm convinced there is more BS coming ...
let's see if the gullible ones will eat that too ...
Kansas was a BS race with a BS ending IMO !!! http://www.motorsportforum.com/forum...ongue-anim.gif
NASCAR made several wrong calls ...
the worst was allowing Biffle to STEAL the win with an EMPTY gas tank. http://www.motorsportforum.com/forum...es/icons/s.gif
Here's my question. What if Biffle couldn't make it to the checkered flag? Would he still be declared the winner even if he wasn't capable of actually taking the flag?
A few years ago Jeff Burton crashed & tore his car up (#99 Exide/Roush) ...
immediately NASCAR threw the yellow & almost instantly the rain began pouring ...
NASCAR then went to an immediate red flag ...
with Jeff Burton still leading the race with the right front tire unable to roll ...
the race was called due to rain & Jeff Burton won ...
I always thought that was the biggest BS thing NASCAR could have done ...
but after Kansas & Biffle, they have topped it. :s
That one's easy, No he wouldn't, because he didn't maintain a reasonable speed behind the pace car. There's no gray area there, almost everyone agrees stopping isn't maintaining a speed. It's dropping off the pace car speed to about half, and pulling out of line that's the question. Without the rule book in hand and reading the exact wording, we'll never know if Nascar correctly applied what is probably poorly worded rules.Quote:

I have been telling you all for years now that Nascar isn't about racing, it is about putting on a show. Banging fenders, close racing, close finishes, (both the close racing and close finishes helped out by way of to many mysterious yellows), and of course alot of spectacular crashes. Lets go back to just plain racing. Best driver in best prepared car produced by best team and do away with this lucky dog BS and side by side starts and restarts unless the are positioned like the race start which would be side by side 1,2,3,4,5.....Etc. And oh yeah, drop this race to the chase crapola. If the final winner is 500 points or better ahead of the second place finisher, then thats the way it goes. The bestest and fastest over the season should be the winner..........PERIOD. THAT'S RACING!
You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately there are some that like all the manufactured crap................ole chubby cheeks got em' Hook, Line, and Sinker.Quote:
