JR bitching about Danica forcing him up the track

Her spotter told her that she was clear to come up.

NASCAR needs to race the 500 mile races in segments. Give them $250K for leading the 100th lap or 25 bonus points. This single file shite until 10 to go is lame.


48 Cars

4 Heat Races 20 Laps/ 12 cars each - Top 7 in each race to A Main
2 B-Mains 10 Cars each- 20 Laps - Top 4 to A Main

80 Lap A Main with 36 cars

Yeah…these races need to be shorter because they're only really racing for 20 of the 200 laps. They race for the first 10 to get a feel for their cars and then they just sit back and ride for the next 180 before going all out on the last 10.

Plate tracks have always been single file (except for when it was the two car tango) until the last 30 or so laps. Every plate race, people whine and complain about how boring it is. Then they wreck three times in the last 15 laps and everyone forgets about the single file racing until the next plate race rolls around.

I see someone is familiar with the race format in dirt racing. Doesn't get much better than dirt late models....

Grew up around the dirt track. If they would do just that it would make racing much more exciting, and honestly even though it would be a longer program it would be exciting to watch.

If she does, I will have another sig quote to add.


I'm not worried at all.

Restrictor plate tracks level the playing field a ton...that's why so many people that would normally never win a race win there. If she somehow manages to ever win a race, it will be at Daytona or talladega...which is a pain in the arse because they are considered the biggest races of the year and are the races that anyone can win.

Now if she wins at Richmond or Dover or darlington, then I'll be impressed. But she won't.
