2018 NASCAR Cup Series - Page 8

I didn't watch. Only caught the last two laps on replay so I guess I did myself a favor.

I've made plenty of mentioning about how I can't stand pack racing, but if you're going to have it, might as well have at least 15 lead changes per lap. Dega and Daytona designs are no longer relevant to the cars that race on them, imho. Drastic changes are needed and it looks like they struck out here???

Chase grabs his third win of the year in Kansas!

Alfisti · 22 Oct 2018, 18:31 (Ref:3858483)

It really is a cork out of the bottle. He just drove that car on his line at his pace and didn't seem worried about a closing Kyle Busch. Talent and maturity, this boy will be a champion one day: heck, he could be champion this year even - I still don't agree with the playoff nonsense mind. In my book it really should be Harvick, Busch or Truex lifting the trophy come season end.

rustyfan · 28 Oct 2018, 22:16 (Ref:3859670)

Sigh. It's a shame Truex didn't know what everyone else has known for years and years - there is NO point in racing Logano clean, because he will NEVER race you clean. Truex should've put the #22 in the wall when he had the chance.

Alfisti · 28 Oct 2018, 22:57 (Ref:3859679)

Yeah, I really don't like Logano one little bit. I don't approve of wrecking people on purpose in general, but Matt Kenseth shoving the little prick into the wall a few years back made me smile.

Alfisti · 7 Nov 2018, 18:43 (Ref:3861685)

Truex and Pearn to the #19 confirmed.

Busch, Hamlin, Truex = a strong line up. Even stronger if/ when Jones and the #20 crew settle in - he showed real promise in the #77 but hasn't looked particularly good this year IMO.

Never liked Logano from day 1, he is an eyesore on a series already suffering with problems left and right. Not just saying that I cheer against him on the track every week. I mean he is somebody that i would be happy if he was no longer a racing driver and decided to retire early or race some other series.

Does he have fans?

How hard/ expensive would it be to get a rent-a-ride with one of the backmarking start & park teams for Miami?

Form an orderly queue to shove him in the wall!

If you haven't heard of Joe Rogan or his podcast, check this interview out with Dale Jr. Certainly enlightening about his reasons for retirement but also just a damn good interview.

I've seen numbers thrown out as low as 50k and a few well under for a single race mid season on Racer in the past. But that was pre-franchise, pre-points loss and penalties for the intentional start & parks so I think things have changed

Alfisti · 14 Nov 2018, 22:23 (Ref:3863370)

So who do we think will win?

I'm glad that the three guys who have been head and shoulders above the rest haven't been eliminated in this play off nonsense. Any one of the three would be a deserving champion.

So long as Logano doesn't win I'll be happy. Be nice for Truexs guys to sign off on a high; hoping they all land roles elsewhere. I think it'll be between Kevin and Kyle though; they've been really strong pretty much every weekend.

rustyfan · 18 Nov 2018, 23:31 (Ref:3864063)

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Alfisti · 18 Nov 2018, 23:43 (Ref:3864064)

The most polite thing I can say right now is that sucks.

Let's forget for a moment I dislike Logano: without this nonsense that NASCAR calls a playoff then we would have been looking at 4, 18 or 78 taking the title. Those boys and their crews dominated this year. Totally, nobody else had a look in.

Heck, it's such a great formula, maybe NFL or World Series or whoever must be queuing up to copy it... 🙄

**FIRE** · 18 Nov 2018, 23:58 (Ref:3864067)

Logano ....

Cinghio44 · 19 Nov 2018, 00:01 (Ref:3864068)

Lol he win the big one and he is champion! Last year was a disaster for Logano and things are completely changed one year later...incredible!

I think they all arrived with a good chance to win. Then it was a one shot and Logano got it

fieldodreams79 · 19 Nov 2018, 00:59 (Ref:3864078)

Champion Sliced Doosh has a great ring to it.
