Gig em! Gordon seemed fired up about the scheme in the post race interview. I'd be pissed if I were aTm because that didn't look like their regular maroon to me, looked almost a shade of purple. Since they left I've felt my aTm hate leave me, out of sight out of mind. meh.

I'm happy with the race, second is a very good result. I'm thrilled that Gustafson finally gambled on a strategy and it nearly worked.

First place :Woohoo:

was the last caution legit?

Either way, glad he avoided issues. I smell a win coming.

Kurt "lolaw" Busch got a flat left rear and literally lost all the sheet metal & everything underneath it on that left side, it was pretty freaky how quickly it happened.

Hey guys...how good is Kyle Larson going to be?  I mean between the Nationwide race on Friday and the Cup race on Saturday he was in the wall roughly 1,200 times but he came away with a pair of top 10s.

Answer:  Pretty good.

Also, Chase Elliot  :eek:

Nationwide has some pretty good races now. Nice to see those young drivers competing.

Jordy Nelson, a Green Bay Packers WR and Kansas State product, to drive pace car at Kansas. He'll keep a sure grip on the wheel, I'm sure.

Question for you Nascar aficionados. What happened to Dodge teams? I know they didn't have the presence of Ford, Chevy, or even Toyota but they fielded some good cars. Kasey Kahne had a good Dodge while he was driving for Evernham and didn't Keselowski win the chase with a Dodge a few years ago?

Dodge left after the 2012 season. They were having trouble finding sponsors and didn't feel the company could sustain the investment necessary to compete at a high level. Dodge has said they may come back in the future.

I stopped watching four or five years ago. I always rooted for Dodge guys though, especially Kahne with the Budweiser Dodge. I hope they get back into it.

Damn exciting finish at the end last night. LOL at Kesolowski getting butthurt. Doubt Gordon will ever get that win. :(

Also, this is cool.

JG24 will get multiple wins before the chase. He'll win at least one of the yawnocono races and either Sonoma or Watkins Glen.

What is dogecoin?

Yikes, definitely not made up. I just listened to a witness on the radio who gave a pretty good summary.  His best guess was that it was an accident due to the guy coming to confront Stewart, he was in a dark firesuit, no helmet, darker than normal track, etc.  A different report from deadspin says the guy gestured to Stewart and then Stewart gunned his engine.

Most people are guessing he didn't make it  :frown:.  They lit flares for the helicopter, but put them out before a helicopter got there.

Edit - now reporters are saying he was at least admitted to the hospital, so  :dunno:

New report from Deadspin...

Quote
"Tyler Graves, a sprint-car racer and friend of Ward's, told Sporting News in a phone interview that he was sitting in the Turn 1 grandstands and saw everything that happened.

"Tony pinched him into the frontstretch wall, a racing thing," Graves said. "The right rear tire went down, he spun on the exit of (Turn) 2. They threw the caution and everything was toned down. Kevin got out of his car. … He was throwing his arms up all over the place at Tony for most of the corner.

"I know Tony could see him. I know how you can see out of these cars. When Tony got close to him, he hit the throttle. When you hit a throttle on a sprint car, the car sets sideways. It set sideways, the right rear tire hit Kevin, Kevin was sucked underneath and was stuck under it for a second or two and then it threw him about 50 yards."

Police dept. is supposed to be making a statement soon.

 :barf:
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
