Meanwhile, surprisingly slow laps for Timothy Peters (16th), Austin Theriault (18th) and Johnny Sauter (20th). 3. that e-guy posted: 06.19.2015 - 7:41 pm Rate this comment: (5) (0) So how will Erik Jones lose this race tonight? 4.

Schroeder51 posted: 06.19.2015 - 8:49 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I would be a fool to say Jones' luck isn't self made in any way (he is young and needs to learn to be more impatient, his lack of patience has definitely cost him some wins this season), but I do think his frustration is understandable; wouldn't you be frustrated if no matter what, it seemed you couldn't find victory lane? Having said that, I REALLY hope Erik is not on the verge of becoming Kyle 2.0...I guess it wouldn't be a shock considering he's Kyle's protege, but we really don't need even MORE prissy prima-donna drivers who can't stand when other people have the audacity to race them rather than move over for them... 10.

Schroeder51 posted: 06.19.2015 - 8:52 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Erik already has a full second on the rest of the field. Crafton ran into the back of Cole Custer at the start. That could have been big; he could have wound up with a broken radiator from that (which Pucci Man no doubt would be happy with...Seriously, even if you don't like a guy, I don't know why you would pull for him to wreck; what if he were to get hurt? Then again I see plenty of people at Darlington every year who ONLY went in the hopes of seeing big wrecks...) Spencer Gallagher and Cole Custer are involved in a spin off turn 2, and the yellow flies. 12. joey2448 posted: 06.19.2015 - 8:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Last week's top-2 finishers wreck on lap 7, although on second look, Custer didn't even j Hit a thing. 13. that e-guy posted: 06.19.2015 - 8:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Jonesception on the restart 14.

Schroeder51 posted: 06.19.2015 - 9:00 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Matt Crafton moves around Christopher Bell for fifth. I honestly never heard of Bell before this race, but seeing as he's a protege of Kyle Busch, I have a feeling big things could lie ahead of him. Kyle may not exactly be the most likable guy out there, but I definitely can't deny he does have an eye for talent (Erik Jones being the prime example of that)... 20.

I'm all in favor of drivers actually having personalities, but I'm not a fan of drivers who have the personalities of...well, douchebags. Though at the very least, I will say Kyle doesn't PRETEND that he's not a douche... Scubaman Ray Black has a problem and brings out the yellow again. 22. Nathan8848 posted: 06.19.2015 - 9:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Off topic- but a very early entry list for Sonoma, shows that Dale Jr's sponsor says Hendrick Motorsports. Just shows how expensive it it is to sponsor cars. Granted he hates Sonoma, so not surprised. Back to on topic, who is the main announcer tonight? I can't point to who it is. 23. jabber1990 posted: 06.19.2015 - 9:03 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) if a HMS car has "HendrickCars.com" on it, is it technically an unsponsored car? 24.

This is a great example of why I'm not upset with Kyle running late model races. He's found some incredible talent and he's raced against some of the best late model drivers in the country who may never get a shot at NASCAR. If he can give some young guys or some great unknowns a few races in NASCAR, I'm totally fine with him doing that. It's a bit of an old school approach for Busch to find these guys on the little bullrings and half miles, and I respect the hell out of Kyle for doing that. 25. jabber1990 posted: 06.19.2015 - 9:08 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) most people think Tony Stewart is a Douchebag but after...that happened (we all know what i'm talking about) who was the first group people who came to his defense?

If NASCAR wants such a f***ing presence in the midwest (AND wants tighter racing), then they need to drop a date from Chicagoland and Kansas and come *here* twice a year. We...need...more...short tracks. 56. Schroeder51 posted: 06.19.2015 - 9:51 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) ^Agreed, but for whatever reason...NASCAR doesn't seem to think so.

But from a racing standpoint...no. Of course I realize it makes more sense to have the "ideal" track to maximize the number of seats to place butts in and give them the best possible view of the track (NASCAR being a business at all), but I wish we had more unique tracks... 62.

For whatever reason, they seem to think the 1 1/2 cookie-cutter is the perfect track format..." All NASCAR cares about butts in the seats. I think the way Iowa is set up they can only add up to 75,000 which means a sell out at Iowa would still be less than what shows up to the cookie-cutter tracks even tho they aren't close to selling out. 63.

If a Cup race came here, no doubt they'd pair it with one of the lower series' dates here...so the Cup drivers can have a chance to race here before the Cup race!" It'd be so that the track and NASCAR can make more money on the weekend rather than have no one show up for the other races and everyone show up for the Cup race. Cup drivers dipping down is an effect in that scenario, not the cause. 86.
