Went to Bristol. If you have never gone, even if you don't like Nascar, def a lot of fun. The guy sitting the row behind us was so drunk he passed out holding his beer with no ear plugs. That is pretty impressive, we were 3 rows up.

#88-Dale Earnhardt Jr., currently seventh in points, will clinch a top-10 spot with a finish of 32nd or better, 33rd with at least one lap led or 34th with the most laps led.
#22-Joey Logano, currently eighth in points, will clinch a top-10 spot with a finish of 11th or better, 12th and at least one lap led or 13th and the most laps led.
#16-Greg Biffle, currently ninth in points, will clinch a top-10 spot with a finish of ninth or better, 10th and at least one lap led or 11th and the most laps led.
#78-Kurt Busch, currently 10th in points, will clinch a top-10 spot by winning, finishing second with at least one lap led or finishing third with the most laps led.
The remaining mathematically eligible drivers need help to clinch a top-10 spot. Some, however, control their own Wild Card destiny (a win would guarantee at least a Wild Card spot). Clinch scenarios for the remaining eligible drivers follow...
#24-Jeff Gordon: Currently 11th in points, Gordon would clinch at least a Wild Card spot with a victory at Richmond. Gordon, currently six points outside the top 10, remains eligible for a top 10 spot.
#5-Kasey Kahne: Kahne, currently 12th in points, has already clinched at least a Wild Card spot. Ten points outside the top 10, Kahne remains eligible for a top 10 spot.
#56-Martin Truex Jr.: Currently 13th in points, Truex would clinch at least a Wild Card spot with a victory at Richmond. Fifteen points outside the top 10, Truex remains eligible for a top 10 spot. Truex, currently holding the provisional No. 2 Wild Card spot, could clinch a Wild Card spot without a victory.
#39-Ryan Newman: Currently 14th in points, Newman would clinch at least a Wild Card spot with a victory at Richmond. Twenty points outside the top 10, Newman remains eligible for a top 10 spot. Newman could clinch a Wild Card spot without a win (Logano and Biffle must remain in the top 10 or be replaced by Kahne; Newman must out-point Truex by six points; Gordon must not win; and Brad Keselowski or Jamie McMurray cannot win and overtake Newman).
#2-Brad Keselowski: Currently 28 points outside the top 10, Keselowski remains eligible for a top-10 spot. Currently winless, Keselowski must win to be in contention for a Wild Card spot. Mathematically there will be at least two drivers outside the top 10 with wins. To clinch, Keselowski would need to win and outpoint Truex by 13 and Newman by eight (and would only need to outpoint one of these drivers if Kahne would displace a winless driver from the top 10). If Truex or Newman displaces Kurt Busch from the top 10, he would need to outpoint the other one-win driver remaining outside the top 10 by the requisite amount.
#1-Jamie McMurray: Currently 39 points outside the top 10, McMurray remains eligible for a top-10 spot. Currently winless, McMurray must win to be in contention for a Wild Card spot. To clinch, McMurray would need to win and outpoint either Truex by 25 and Newman by 19 (and would only need to outpoint one of these drivers if Kahne would displace a winless driver from the top 10). If Truex or Newman displace Kurt Busch from the top 10, he would need to outpoint the other one-win driver remaining outside the top 10 by the requisite amount.
#27-Paul Menard: To clinch, Menard would need to win and outpoint Truex by 47 and Newman by 42 (and would only need to outpoint one of these drivers if Kahne would displace a winless driver from the top 10). If Truex or Newman displace Kurt Busch from the top 10, he would need to outpoint the other one-win driver remaining outside the top 10 by the requisite amount.(NASCAR)

Of course he did, to give his teammate a shot at getting into the chase and not for keeping gordon or newman out.

I've been going to NHRA since I was 4, NASCAR blows it out of the water . I am really impressed with the fans I set around last night, except for the one girl that thought her world ended when my group took our seats behind her. The 15 and 56 are gonna get whats coming to them, 56 was instructed to not let Gordon by to be in the chase (aka punt his ass if he passes you).



I'll be at the Charlotte race.

They should ban Clint Bowyer from competing in the chase so that Jeff Gordon will be in. They will not do that but it would stop any drivers from pulling a stunt like that again.

as heard on in car audio from crew chief moments before spinning; "Is your arm starting to hurt?" crew chief Brian Pattie asked. After a pause, Pattie said, "I bet it's hot in there. Itch it."

My money is on them not doing anything, if they hand out a punishment that doesn't eliminate them from the chase no one will respect it. This is not F1, fixing a race should be a disqualification. Thats my opinion. I didn't pay money to see 1 last MWR race fix, it was supposed to be 1 last race to the chase. That was not a race.

as long as there are multiple car teams, there will be shit like that. the same shit happens every weekend in late model races at local tracks. there's a big money late model team that runs at south boston. they have a couple old cars that they bring to the track and pay the entry fee for them. they start and park it, then send it out to spin if their driver needs a caution. yes, it's low down and dirty. yes, the fans hate it. yes, it's legal.

Honestly it's not really cheating. It's more of a strategy. If anything, a driver in the chase would like that now that he doesn't have to worry about the car that barely made it dive bombing him because he not in the chase.

I know that's hard to read but it's hard to type it out.

I just hope Newman or Gordon wrecks them atleast once during the chase.

And I guess this essentially the same as the debris cautions.

that's the beauty of stock car racing. you can put folks in the wall, intentionally draw cautions, etc, but so can everyone else, so you've gotta be willing to face the consequences next week.

and most drivers are like jimmy spencer. they never forget.

[Edited on September 8, 2013 at 11:08 PM. Reason : however, "debris" competition cautions are total bullshit]

that incident is why Piquet Jr. is racing in Nationwide, he's blackballed in Europe for doing that and probably in part for snitching

1. they can never prove it, so there's going to be little NASCAR can do
2. I know at the least Paul Menard has done the same thing in the past
3. if you want to get rid of it, ban radio communications from pit lane and go back to signboards along the pit wall, which they will never do

That's like saying a guy flopping to draw a foul in basketball or a penalty kick in soccer are not cheating.

I sort of agree with ^, Gordon and Newman can decide amongst themselves who puts Truex or Bowyer in the wall early in next weekend's race.

Didn't realize 2 guys also pitted under green with 3 laps to go to help bump Gordon out as well. Vickers was told to pit because the team needed one point.

That plus the spin... Not sure if anything can really be done but if you let that go this time it's only going to get worse I think. It will just turn into bumper cars with non chase teammates spinning chase cars, spinning on purpose etc. MWC just seemed a bit to open with their manipulation.

i believe this is false

the cars have fuel injection with data recorders. if bowyer was going 1/2 throttle at that point on the track for many laps and he floored it that lap plus the in car radio that would be enough proof IMO

Nascar should give bowyer a large enough point penalty to ensure that he has no shot at the chase.

I agree it is a team sport, and have no issue with drafting with your teammates, blocking for teammates, sharing information, etc. All those to me are within the spirit of the sport. But is this where you draw the line or is this part of Nascar that is acceptable?

Here you have a situation where :

1 - A driver spins on purpose. Maybe you can't prove this one... but we know he did.
2 - A car pitting several extra times for no reason, which the driver is asking the pit crew why he is even pitting, and the response is that they "need 1 point." The radio here is pretty obvious, easy one to prove.
3 - A car that intentionally drives slower on the final lap to give up a spot to a teammate. He ran his final lap 10 seconds slower than any other car on the track and his previous lap.

Each of those 3 things happening individually not sure what can be proven about the situation. But then when you realize it is 3 different cars that did that all from the same team... that is just above and beyond in my opinion although I don't know what you can do.
