Let’s forget about Bubba for a sec, anyone up for racing in the rain on short ovals?

They are reaching. The drivers won’t be able to see with the mist .

Ty Dillon to drive the No. 77 Spire Motorsports car full-time in 2023. Kevin Bellicourt to crew chief.
Corey LaJoie remains in Spire's No. 7 car with Ryan Sparks continuing as crew chief.

Ty Dillon continues to get rides others should be getting.

Yeah, I don't see how he will help Spire improve much.

It won't. He needs to go back to the truck series. That's about his ceiling. It was a tell tale sign back in 2016 when he missed the Xfinity playoffs in Pop-Pop's #3.

Let's try and race in the rain on road courses first before trying this. Nascar does everything in their power to avoid racing in the rain even on those tracks.

My understanding is only with damp track. But if any standing water then no.
Regardless this will cause wrecks. If only 1 dey line then no passing unless moved. Maybe thats what they want. They claim it will dry track faster which might be true in theory but if there are wreck fests from dampness not so much as they parade around under yellow.

NASCAR needs to drop the hammer on Bubba. No other way around it. A suspension is necessary. Even if it is just one race.

It needs to be laid out pretty clear that this is not accepted or tolerated. RRing a guy in the dog leg at 170+ in a car that has ended 2 race winners from this year's season, and one them their career because a guy was racing you hard? This wasn't under yellow or extra contact or getting someone loose, this was a driver knowing full well the possible outcomes saying F it you raced me hard (really it was because Larson was one of many to blow past Bubba after he had restarted first). Then he goes after a guy that he took out. Dude really ran a football field away and started going at a guy who is in that situation because he wrecked him. I get that Bubba is emotional. I get that Bubba does get an unfair shake from quite a few fans. I also get that his actions are 100% unacceptable. There is a time and a place, and that was not it. He needs to be sat down for a race at minimum, and if it happens again he needs an indefinite suspension. There is no place in motorsports for intentionally wrecking someone in that manner. I also think given the optics 23XI needs to accept the penalty with no appeal. They and their sponsors would be best served to let this go and let it run through the news cycle.

Anyone notice safety loudmouth advocate Denny Hamlin has been in hiding since this happened? A week ago he was railing about driver safety, what gives?

He’s probably embarrassed. That’s his 2 drivers that used their cars to intentionally damage/wreck others when he’s been on his soapbox. Not a good job of driver selection and leadership.

From 2013:
quote:
Hamlin said he's confident Logano didn't intend to hurt him and doesn't think NASCAR should fine or penalize Logano. But he did take further offense to one other comment: that NASCAR's Gen6 race cars are so safe, "I'm sure he's fine."
"That is taking for granted what we do is just, that we're superman and we can't be hurt," Hamlin said. "That's why people don't wreck each other on 200 mile-per-hour racetracks, because this is what can happen.
"You've got to think about that as a driver. You can't just throw caution to the wind. Because no one's gotten killed in 10 years, it's OK to just wreck someone at 200? It's not OK, because I have a daughter now. I'd like to do things with her when I get older.
"Don't take my health for granted just because you want to retaliate."
Hamlin seems to have taken this personally, becoming emotional.
"Well, it's personal because I'm the one who has to go through rehab three times a week. I'm the one that's got to wear this brace for six weeks or however long," he said. "He gets to go to a racetrack. I'm the one that has to deal with the repercussion from this wreck. He's going to move on, as if nothing happened, this weekend at Martinsville."
Hamlin said that from his perspective, Logano made the choice to intentionally run into Hamlin's car.
"In my opinion, there was no doubt that he intended to run into us," Hamlin said. "It was not, 'I just made a mistake,' because he kept throttling until he finally ran into us.
"I'm not going sit here and say his intent was to hurt us and take us out of our season and wreck us, but it was to ensure we were not going to win that race. He's got to deal with the repercussions of that when we race each other again."

They will, just like Nascar is.

I think you know he has to walk a fine line here that no one else has to as an owner/driver, but him not coming out saying anything should say a lot. Or maybe you don't know that and you're just stupid, I don't really know you that well to say either way. I think you're a Chase fan though, which usually leans toward the latter.
