WOW, what a finish. Great to see the small under funded teams take one from the big boys.

Did anybody else see the interview with Ryan Newman after Kurt Bush rolled on to Newmans Hood. I bet he gets a big fine for his comments.

That race is insane. It is intense and fun to watch, but just crazy to tear up several million dollars in cars every time there. Sooner or later someone will get hurt doing this. The finishes of both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races were awesome, but something has to change...

I came back in after the rain delay just in time to catch the last run.

I thought it was a good race.

I have to thing the drivers being out od the cars for 3 plus hours has to take a toll on them.

Sooner or later?

Newman won't be facing any discipline from what I read today.

I agree LaWDOG.

If NASCAR thought they would cure all the accidents at the SSW's with the Gen 6 car, they missed the boat.

I would think many of the team owners do not car for these tracks as they seem to tear up alot of equipment at the majority of these races.

It's only as matter of time and some driver or more will have a very bad accident at these SSW's.

NASCAR could just as well have these tracks race 30 laps. Seems that when all the racing starts and the big crashes happen. The balance of the laps just use up time until they go at the end.

Many fans simply like to see the crashes.

Didn't you just post a thread about Dale Sr.?

[harvey lee]

I was talking about the races with the new Gen 6 cars. I believe I mention the Gen 6 car at the top of my reply about 2 posts above.

I quoted Lawdog's post and that was in regards to this last weeknds races for both Nationwide and the Cup races.

Yep, wished Sr a H Birthday if he was still with us.

We've been through generation after generation of cars and the racing is essentially the same. The only way to avoid big piles of wrecked cars is to stop scheduling Daytona and Dega but that ain't happening. The goal of the new Gen 6 car was never to prevent big crashes at these tracks.

[harvey lee]

I have no idea what NASCAR's goal was with the Gen 6 car, I was not included in those meetings. I can only go by what others say and that is not always a safe way to understand the reasoning or all the considerations that were made with those who make all the changes.

The #39 car was the "random" after the race tonight. LOL.

Nice

Give the guy a break, he has more people riding around on his hood then any other guy in NASCAR
