Yeah, i didn't know whether it was Fox doing a lousy job or that there was no evidence of material on the track for the cautions at 156 and185, but I read today it was likely not Fox's fault, but Nascar's, as there likely was no debris on track for them. I am no Kenseth fan, but he got hosed by the one at 185. He likely would have gotten a top three finish otherwise. And I do think Busch would have caught him, though, but still. The one at 199 was also fishy, but it seemed like there was some very small something on the track. Still the earlier phony cautions left a bad taste in my mouth. The bottom line is Nascar knows people are skeptical of the way they throw the caution for debris, and yet they don't ever seem to geta clear handle on it. Yesterday BK won by being in the right place at the right time, and that's fine for him, but it sure smelled like Nascar was doing everything they could to avoid a PR problem if the driver who clearly had the best car, but also accused of domestic violence, won the race. Nascar does not have a reservoir of good will built up, and I for one thought yesterday was a very bad day for them.
The mystery next to last one was very suspect, the one where Larsen lost his bumper was justified...strange how Kenseth's axle snapped as they lowered the jack, bad luck...if there was only one green/white checkered, either Happy or KB win
Well as between Harvick and Busch, it looked like Harvick's car took longer after the green flag was dropped to get going, which not to digress must have had something to do with tire pressure since the use of the same equipment isolated that as the sole significant variable. So if that's what would have happened again, Busch wold have won. Which one must wonder is hte result Nascar was trying so hard to avoid. Hey I have no love for Kurt Busch, but manipulating debris cautions for pr reasons flat out sucks.
Kyle Busch's crash at Daytona was around 90G's at over 175MPH into a solid concrete wall He is pretty damn lucky he only had a broken leg and foot, he should have been dead. http://www.mrn.com/R...s-Recovery.aspx Busch said it was the hardest hit he's ever taken in NASCAR competition, stating that he left the racing surface going 176 mph and then slowed to 90 mph in the grass when he impacted the inside wall at 90 G's. As soon as he made contact, he knew his right leg was broken. Busch tried to use his left foot to exit the car but ended up having to use his heel because of the pain in his foot.
The intimidator's fatal crash really didn't look like much but a sharp turn into the wall at 200 mph, thanks Sterling Marlin
You can't really blame any other driver. Front Row Joe was the guy that turned him btw, not Sterling. Also, Sr should have been wearing the brace. He could have been, like others, but was stubborn, and felt it was uncomfortable while also disrupting his peripheral vision.
Ugh, if the race gets on tonight it will be on FS1. although I have no reason to watch because Kez is out.
This is some bs. Like 10 laps with the damn pace car, rain like 2mins away and they continue to circle and circle and circle.... Drop the damn flag and give us one last lap of racing! Edit: never mind .
