NASCAR's rule book must be bigger than the Bible!

If that Dega race were an ARCSOA race, I'd use this for a background theme...



I have to admit, that was one of the most compelling NASCAR races I have seen in a long time!

LOL, there were almost as many cars that finished your Dega ARCSOA race as those that finished the actual NASCAR race !

It's crazy how the media thinks it was so terrible, but the fans loved it, and even those who "say" that they aren't a fan think it was exciting/compelling... What a Topsy-Turvy time in NASCAR history...

The media highlights a good point though... the wrecks in that race were pretty nasty. The only reason that race was good was because no one knew how far the race would go. If it had been sunny and dry, they would have "choo-choo'd" the outside line like they did at Daytona.

I felt like I was watching an ARCSOA Race and was like "are you freaking serious, this can't be a real race"

This was almost as bad as that one Busch/Xfinity race that had like 3 cars finish on the lead lap... The only difference is, in that race the big one happened on like lap 5... But yeah, just CRAZY!!

The Xfinitywide race was blah imo.  Nice to see Poole and Clements run well though.  I was really hoping he or Allgaier would get the w, but I'll settle for Sadler.  After all he was the leader at the time of caution.  Also Koch's absolutely destroyed car still came home in 11th, I do believe.

As far as the Cup race was concerned, the race was actually pretty entertaining when the drivers weren't trying to kill one another.  There were far too many stupid incidents, which I would attribute to the drivers still adjusting to the current SS package and just being overagressive in general.  It was nice to see guys like Whitt, Cassil, and Gilliland get decent finishes though.

Also worth noting, per one of Carl Long's employees, that Long ran the entire Xfinity race on a single set of tires.

What an insane truck race today, being at the track was such a blast!

So, you guys think Gallagher or Townley won that fight? That was hysterical.

Townley won it by TKO

I probably say so too haha. The whole race was just absolutely crazy.

Hamlin takes the lead away from Stewart, then Hamlin messes up turn 11 and Stewart takes the lead back for good. Pretty cool way to end FOX's portion of the season!

My 400 pick is Trevor Bayne!

JK I'M PICKING JOSH WISE FOR LAST HERE WE COME XD

Hopefully the race won't be as chaotic as Dega, but with the chances of rain in Daytona, that may be a different story.

400 pick is DA PACE CAR LOL! Just kidding Ccarl Edwards all the time!

NASCAR needs to fix the rule system. It's so transparent, it needs to be black and white.

Here is what I think needs to happen.
If it is under 5 laps there will be a GWC.
You'll only have 1 attempt after the initial 2 to go.
If you wreck while green before Turn 3 (2 to go), Yellow flies, another attempt.
If you wreck while green after Turn 3 (2 to go), Yellow flies, race ends under yellow.
If you wreck while white before Turn 2, Race ends in yellow.
If you wreck while white after Turn 2, Race back to the line.
If the wreck turns into red flag after 5 to go race ends in yellow.

Doesn't Apply for Road Course. Turn 1 inside of 2 for Pocono.

David Hoots needs to be fired ASAP. You'd make a much better race director than him.

Haha I was right the race ended under caution so the pace car won lol.

There's an Israelite in the Xfinity field at Mid-Ohio, Alon Day. Didn't do too bad in qualifying, it'd be neat to see how he does.

I knew I heard that name somewhere from an article I read a while back.. That's pretty cool!

He'll probably end up like Nur Ali. Never return to NASCAR after a disastrous debut. Predicting another good finish like last year, just hope the. Bad guy doesn't win like it always seems to be.

Nah, he's a good driver, just needs to get in the right equipment. Heck, he qualified 21st... In Derrike Cope's car... Which is a Dodge!
