Anybody ever done Rusty Wallace experience? I drove a late model at Southern National(not RW) and the prep they gave me was ridiculously inadequate. Guy said: "Follow the chase car, you wont be able to catch him. Roll into the gas out of the turns" That was it! He was correct though i couldn't catch the guy in the chase car which was good i guess

2015 rules:

Quote :

"The biggest change is the testing policy. Now NASCAR teams will only be allowed to participate in NASCAR and Goodyear tests. In other major moves for 2015, NASCAR will use rain tires on road courses for the Sprint Cup Series, as it has done for Nationwide and trucks for several years. As far as the new aerodynamic rules (except for Daytona and Talladega), they include reduced horsepower from about 850 to 725. NASCAR will put a tapered spacer — much like a restrictor plate except thicker with the holes tapering — on the cars, much like is done on the Nationwide and trucks. They will do that in combination of having lower rear differential gear ratios to keep the cars at 9,000 RPM (they have been at 9,300-9,400 RPM). The rear spoiler will be cut from 7.25 inches tall to six inches. The radiator pan will be reduced from 43 inches to 38 inches. And teams will have the option of using a driver adjustable track bar."

all these are huge changes

9/23/2014 4:06:32 PM

apparently when they used this package at Michigan, they were only 3 mph slower than the current gen6 cars at the end of the front stretch...which is hard to believe with them putting out 150 less horsepower, but what do I know?

Driver adjustable track bar is going to be huge. Outside of tire pressures, thats the one quick fix adjustment that crew chiefs always go to on pit stops.

Milka Duno got her first NW start yesterday. she made it to lap 2 before she wrecked herself

lol

10/5/2014 8:59:24 AM

its a mockery of the sport that they let her race.

10/5/2014 11:42:30 PM

The Chase is a mockery of the sport.

Milka Duno being allowed to race is what happens when the back of the grid are dependent on ride buyers and there's little to no competition to qualify.

10/6/2014 12:18:44 PM

will be at the nationwide race tomorrow night. Hoping Chase Elliott can give it a good ride. Last race I went to in May is the only race hes finished not on the lead lap I believe when he had a broken suspension part at Charlotte.

10/9/2014 11:21:35 PM

^Dale yeah

Hope it don't rain

10/10/2014 9:09:58 AM

I'll be at both races fully expecting rain.

10/10/2014 10:04:34 AM

The new chase may not be fair but its bringing the drama

10/12/2014 9:30:23 AM

Was watching that last night too. "You hit me unda yella"

10/12/2014 10:23:01 AM

Don't think it was on tv but BK was crashing into cars and equipment plus spinning rear tires in the garage area. Will be interesting to see what NASCAR thinks of that on Tuesday when penalties come out

10/12/2014 10:41:50 AM

Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr. all eliminated today.

1. Logano
2. Harvick
3. Keselowski
4. Gordon
5. Kenseth
6. Newman
7. Hamlin
8. Edwards

Those are your 8 that will race at Martinsville, Texas and Phoenix. Then there will be four for Homestead. Really wanting Kenseth or Newman to win the championship with 0 wins.

10/19/2014 7:58:14 PM

so has Keselowski passed the Busch brothers for most disliked driver in the field?

10/19/2014 9:42:48 PM

He has to be close.

10/19/2014 11:00:41 PM

Also hoping to see a non-winner take the championship

10/26/2014 8:47:49 PM

Well Harvick came out and said that if they don't win the championship, neither will Kenseth...so that will be interesting to follow

10/29/2014 6:14:57 AM

^Harvick has a touch of whatever is mentally wrong with kurt douche me thinks

that kenseth deal was a complete accident. just wheel hopped into him

10/29/2014 7:26:43 AM

^ well, his wife wears the firesuit

10/29/2014 9:18:10 PM

Chase Elliott practically wraps up the Nationwide Series championship with a 4th place finish yesterday. Couldn't keep it in the Top 10 in the first 50 laps. Was the fastest car on the track in the last 50 laps. All he has to do is finish ahead of Regan Smith next week and Homestead won't even matter. However with a 48 point lead with just two races to go...he would need to totally destroy his car in both of the final races and Regan would have to finish Top 5 in both final races for him to not win the championship. Doubt either of those happen.

11/2/2014 6:43:08 AM

^poor regan smith. getting whopped up on by a kid and every time they put a cup driver in the 5 NW car too

so Stewart averaged over 200 mph for the first time (and probably last) over a lap on any 1.5 mile track ever in the history of nascar yesterday.

11/2/2014 7:11:36 AM

whadda ya know...Keselowski drives over someone, again...and gets attacked on pit road, again.

11/2/2014 7:37:15 PM

damn you BK for cutting big daddy's tire

this new chase elimination format is bringing the drama again. everybody driving like they have no damn sense to get a win

might not be fair, but the fair is where you go to get funnel cake i guess

11/2/2014 9:12:56 PM

I'm okay with a NASCAR scene where Brad gets punched every week.

11/2/2014 9:18:47 PM

I really hope Brad wins next week to lock himself in. They are gonna fuck him over so hard if makes it to that last race.

11/2/2014 9:40:41 PM

I must say, if Brad wins and knocks Gordon out next weekend....theres no way in shit that one of the Hendrick drivers doesn't put the #2 in the fence at Homestead.

11/2/2014 9:59:26 PM

So, maybe I'm jaded here, but to me it looked like there was a hole there and brad went for it. Gordon tried to close it (not knowing brad was there because it was too quick for a spotter warning) by coming down on Jimmy and they made contact. Had Gordon's tire not gone flat I don't see anything being made of this other than it being a "racing move".

In the end I think it was just hard racing. Gordon calling Brad a dipshit for that move is rich at best.

11/2/2014 10:43:05 PM

^this is pro sports. no need to brings facts and logic into it

11/3/2014 7:14:58 AM

Reporters saying Krashalotski had a "fat lip" is rich.

11/3/2014 7:41:32 AM

These thugs are ruining the sport

11/3/2014 11:36:56 AM

Nascar is big news now, boys have at it. We know how Gordon gets at Phoenix.

11/3/2014 11:59:56 AM

Ridiculous how these commentators are trying to make Chase Elliott clinching the championship dramatic

11/8/2014 6:15:05 PM

when are the kurt douche ex girlfriend bruises pics going to come out? the suspense is killing me

11/9/2014 3:06:16 AM

Fucking Newman. Gordon finishes 2nd in 2 of the 3 races and was winning the other one when he got wrecked. It was exciting though.

11/9/2014 6:38:21 PM

fuck that fat bitch

11/9/2014 6:39:20 PM

Hope Harvick wins

11/9/2014 6:41:58 PM

Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman in the final four. Just like Nascar planned.

11/9/2014 6:48:26 PM

Gordon finished top 2 in 6 out of last 9 races...not in championship...lol.

11/9/2014 6:50:22 PM

Someone explain what happened, please.

11/9/2014 7:12:36 PM

The chase happened.

Newman pulled a MWR move on the last lap to get in.

11/9/2014 7:14:31 PM

11/9/2014 7:22:22 PM

Oh cool, don't bother explaining what happened to someone who didn't see the race.

11/9/2014 7:28:18 PM

Gordon was running 2nd and newman was one spot out of transferring to next Sundays race. He dive bombed Kyle Larson in turn three coming to the finish and wrecked Larson to take the last spot and put Gordon out of the chase.

[Edited on November 9, 2014 at 7:30 PM. Reason : .]

11/9/2014 7:29:44 PM

Gordon needs to hang it up in the offseason. After this season and 2007, which he dominated, it's clear that he's just not to meant to win a chase championship. Quit on top rather than fizzling for years like Martin and the Labontes.

11/9/2014 7:35:32 PM

NASCAR has made it quite obvious they don't give a shit about 2nd place

11/9/2014 8:16:04 PM

Harvick. Newman. Logano. Hamlin.

I have no idea who I want to win out of those 4. Maybe Newman...

11/9/2014 8:34:35 PM

Do you not have ESPN?

I'd love to see Newman win the "championship" and not win the race next week. Lol, chase that rewards winners has a driver in the top 4 with 0 wins.

11/9/2014 8:37:18 PM

Let's go rocketman

11/9/2014 9:01:33 PM

in 35 races Newman has led 41 laps total. Hamlin has been crap all year

this system rewards winning AND/OR top tens.

9 top tens and top 5 at homestead wins the championship.
