Bristol would not be one of them. 3. TeamDCRfan posted: 04.02.2019 - 3:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) So much for their plans of exhausting all possible ideas before single car laps. 4.

As long as the draft is needed, the teams will do whatever they can to favor themselves and hinder others. 5. 1995-Subaru-WRX-Sti posted: 04.02.2019 - 4:09 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Keep group quing for drafting tracks until the final round then go single car. Seems simple enough. But the drivers will find a way too screw it up. 6. Sandy posted: 04.02.2019 - 7:04 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 27 Withdrew 7.

A.J. posted: 04.05.2019 - 6:51 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Lots of complaining going on during qualifying about the Trackbite substance. Naturally that the loudest complaining is by drivers who feel it's their God-given right to start at or near the front every week (because they normally DO start there every week) but who didn't even make the final 12 this week. Ryan Blaney set a NTR during round 2. Funny, I don't think I've heard him whining about the track surface. And it's not like the complainers don't still have superior equipment and won't be rocketing up through the field in about 2 laps, so don't shed too many tears for them. 19.

The big thing is shock absorbers - the backmarker teams don't have the money for a shock specialist to fine-tune them, and they don't have 10 or 20 years of history of what worked before, either. At Bristol, having good control of the wheel motion is particularly critical going into the turn because of the speed and the banking. @26 - wouldn't surprise me if some of the older races didn't have the whole field within 0.25 sec. A very close spread of times has always been a Bristol feature (after all, back in single car qualifying days this is the track where we once had 3 cars turn identical times to the thousandth of a second). Unfortunately this site doesn't have qualifying data very far back, and ESPN dumped all the Jayski files, which did have qual data back to the late 90's. So we can't go look. @25 - as I recall, the Bristol absolute record is 13.60, 141mph, by Sammy Swindell. On dirt. 29. TeamDCRfan posted: 04.05.2019 - 9:23 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @23 This is actually one of the closer fields we've had this season. Usually the top 30-32 are within a second of the pole. 30.

Mile501 posted: 04.06.2019 - 7:29 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) @26 I know times at Bristol are always close, but I just didn't recall them being quite this close. After Jayski shut down, I created an archive site (using the Wayback Machine) in order to look up older information. You can find it here: https://jayskiarchive.weebly.com/ But you're right, this isn't the closest. 2007, for example, was even closer. http://web.archive.org/web/20170617143612/http://www.jayski.com/stats/2007/grids/2007bms1-grid.htm 33.

Corey posted: 04.06.2019 - 7:30 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) ^Maybe from a playing stand point. The league itself was poorly managed, to the point where they needed a cash infusion in Week 2 to stay afloat. That last for 6 more weeks they finally pulled the plug with 2 games left in the regular season. Stories have come out now that guys with injuries have to pay their own medical bills and many players have said that they found their belongs in the hotel lobbies when the league folded. Apparently housing wasn't being paid for either. It was poorly advertised and I barely saw any articles on it aside from opening weekend and its closure. It's hard to get a league going when no one is aware of it. 37. Corey posted: 04.06.2019 - 7:49 pm Rate this comment: (3) (0) So I went and looked at drivers that have come in the sport since 2010 and here are some staggering numbers in terms of wins. Kyle Larson-5 Chase Elliott-3 Ryan Blaney-2 Austin Dillon-2 Ricky Stenhouse Jr.-2 Trevor Bayne-1 Chris Buescher-1 Erik Jones-1 We have a total of 17 wins over a possible 331 races or 5.1% Even then,5 came at restrictor plates, 1 was a rainout, 1 was fuel mileage and Blaney's lucky win at the oval. I don't think we've ever had a time period fresh blood hasn't come in and won a number of races. 38. possum posted: 04.06.2019 - 8:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @37 - Well, Buescher has never had top equipment, and Bayne, Stenhouse, Dillon, and maybe Jones are simply not top talents, so the low win total isn't too surprising. But I think Buescher points to why "fresh blood hasn't come in and won a number of races", which is that it's just hard to get in top equipment. Drivers stick with a team far more now than they used to. You'll see a guy race for 2 teams, or maybe only 1, in their entire career. Owners don't have many opportunities to "take a chance" on a young guy and maybe find an unexpected talent. And with sponsorships dieing out, and the NASCAR designed "spec" car being so expensive to run, there's not that many good rides, and little hope of more appearing...while it's not impossible, the likelyhood of Bob Jenkins or Jay Robinson or Rick Ware suddenly developing a top-tier team is pretty small. 39. Mile501 posted: 04.07.2019 - 6:11 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) @37 - That is really telling. After Logano was the 2009 ROTY, we went through a period of several years without any overly talented rookies moving up. I do think we have a number of talented young drivers who have come into Cup over the last few years, but either they need more time to develop into regular winners or, in some cases, equipment is holding them back. I don't remember who said it, but someone on this site recently made the observation that 2006-2009 was the period when Cup drivers were utterly dominating in the Busch/Nationwide Series. As a result, young talent wasn't being developed as well, and I think we're still dealing with the impact of that. As an example, in 2007, Bobby Hamilton Jr. ranked as the 2nd-best non-Cup driver in Busch Series points. But he only scored 3 top 10s and led 1 lap all season long because the Cup drivers were so dominant. 40. Corey posted: 04.07.2019 - 9:28 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) @39 You could extend that further back if you consider 2009 as being an outlier. That year include as you mentioned Logano, but is also considered Keselowski's rookie season. He ran too many races to be eligible for ROTY in subsequent seasons. For winners: 2008 had just Regan Smith with 1 2007 had five winners in Juan Pablo Montoya, David Ragan, David Reutimann, Paul Menard, and AJ Allmendinger. However, they amounted to only 8 wins. Granted I expect that some of the recent rookies will start to win some more in the next few years. I can't see Larson, Elliott, Jones and Blaney not winning again in their careers. Those guys are just too good. 41. Wil posted: 04.07.2019 - 9:35 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) On the topic of young talents I think Erik Jones will win today. 42.

I like the penalty which actually gives them a big spanking but for Bristol that's not a fun start (unless you comeback and win like Denny Hamlin did last weekend after TWO penalties). 50.

You could do your chores in the morning, make some lunch, and set down in front of the TV to eat it and relax for a while. Now-a-days you never know when the races are susposed to start, so it makes sense to do something else, and flip the TV on later in the day to see where they're at. With that plan I usually get the last 100 laps or so, unless it's a west coast race that didn't start until 4:45 or something like that. 56.

Meanwhile a blessing for Harvick as he only loses 1 lap instead of 2. Also, since the 10 went behind the wall due to crash damage, isn't he now out? I don't think the team can fix anything. 62.

Lap 2 started with Byron and Almirola getting together and Almorola scooting up the track and into the wall, which stacked up the field behind him. That's how Kyle Busch got turned around when Stenhouse ran into the back of the #18. Busch got some damage when Preece slipped by and tore off Kyle's rear bumper. Looked eerily similar to last August when Busch was in a wreck on lap 3. Then on lap 39, while leading, Chase Elliott goes around when the lapper of Preece spins out right in front of him and Chase gets tagged by Corey Lajoie. Elliott barely touched the inside wall on the frontstretch and only lost two spots to third. Harvick is currently four laps behind in 35th. 76.

That reduces drag and increases downforce somewhat. That said, at Bristol it probably doesn't amount to a hill of beans. At a mile-and-a-half it could be significant. @119 - it's the NASCAR issued airguns. They're crap.

We'll probably see another plague of loose wheels at Dover. @221 - seems to be a bit of "he-said she-said".

JGR has strong equipment and probably has the best overall driver lineup among 4-car organizations in Cup right now. Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin are two of the best current Cup drivers. Truex isn't too far behind, either, and Jones has shown enormous potential. Kyle Busch himself is probably the most talented active Cup driver. In addition, he is in the peak of his career, whereas few other Cup drivers are in the peak of their careers at this point in time. This is possibly due to the huge influx of Cup drivers in Busch/Nationwide between 2006-2009 which has left a void of drivers who might also be peaking along with Busch. Even so, Busch is a rare talent who would likely be winning a lot no matter what his competition might be. I am not a Kyle Busch fan, but I respect his talent. Posting insults of him or posting ridiculous conspiracy theories serves no useful purpose. 237.

Mile501 posted: 04.08.2019 - 8:43 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) In 2015, a trio of drivers (Harvick, Logano, and Truex) all started the season with an impressive streak of 7 consecutive top-10 finishes. For Harvick, all but one of those was either a 1st or 2nd-place finish. But when we got to Bristol, all three ran into trouble, finishing 29th or worse and suddenly ending all three streaks at once. Kyle was able to avoid that same fate, so now we'll see how much longer his streak can continue. Terry Labonte's 8-race streak in 1992 ended at Talladega. Morgan Shepherd's 11-race streak in 1990 included Talladega, where he finished 8th, but ended with a late-race engine failure at Sonoma, the 12th race of the season at that time. 252. Mile501 posted: 04.08.2019 - 8:45 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I would say it is very likely Kyle Busch's top 10 streak will continue at least one more week. Kyle has only finished outside the top 10 once in the last 7 races at Richmond. Talladega is obviously the biggest wildcard. Statistically, Kyle has just 2 top 10 finishes in the last 9 Talladega races. But, they both came in a spring race. In fact, in his last 4 spring Talladega races, he hasn't finished lower than 13th, so perhaps that bodes well for a continuation of his streak. Next up is Dover, which surprisingly, may pose more of a challenge for Kyle than Talladega. In the last 5 years, he has finished in the top 10 in every Dover fall race, but has encountered trouble in every Dover spring race, recording 0 top 15 finishes and finishing 30th or worse four times. If he makes it through all three of those races with top 10s, he could break Morgan Shepherd's record at Kansas, where he is on a streak of 8 consecutive top 10 finishes (though surprisingly, prior to that streak, he had a horrendous record at Kansas, only finishing better than 10th once in his first 14 starts there). 253.

It also doesn't help that NASCAR keeps trying to change the racing package almost every year, and now there's controversy over qualifying sessions.

I know there were more than 1.5 mile that were built such as Auto Clumb, but some of those tracks didn't make it to cup because of it not being owned by SMI and ISC. It took Kentucky being purchased by SMI to get a cup date despite it being another 1.5 mile track.

The fact is the trucks were not going get the crowds as the cup series did in its heyday. The other thing is Bruton Smith wanted that track to rot and it did by asking for a very high price to begin with. He just bought that track to give Texas a cup date. Bruton had no other plans for the track for operating it for any lower racing series. Keep in mind Bruton Smith did a role in Damaging NASCAR. When Bruton Smith Reconfigured Bristol at a time that Bristol was selling out with a long waiting list that was not able to get tickets.

I'm not sure if his involvement with everything, but I'd like to think it's not much. 290.

I do know about Bruton Smith and Bob Bahre each buying half the track just for their Cup dates. I don't disagree that it shouldn't have left entirely and the trucks at the time would have perfect for it. My point was there are still fans today that want the track back, despite the fact, that it is not in any shape to be hosting races. Also Auto Club was a Penske built track. It became ISC's through a merger (or a purchase) of the two companies. 291.

That was a byproduct of the state of the sport and the country of that time period. We are not in that same state any more. The sport has naturally evolved from those days and like any business, NASCAR had to make changes or face growing stagnant. Granted not all changes were for the better, and I will admit that I don't like the current way of determining the champion. Today's NASCAR has a plethora of multi-car teams where back then just saw a handful. There are probably more engineers at Gibbs today then the entire garage area back then. Testing is restricted now, but with computer simulation technology, it made it less of a necessity. And then the car culture of today, is different. People would rather use Uber of Lyft to get around instead of buying a vehicle. And when they do buy a vehicle, it's usually not a car. Hence why, both Ford and Chevrolet have severely reduced their car line-up. Think about it, if Ford ever stops producing the Mustang, they are pretty much done with NASCAR. 293.

It also doesn't help that NASCAR keeps trying to change the racing package almost every year, and now there's controversy over qualifying sessions." My opinion: The problems started when NASCAR began to "fix" things that weren't broken. I'm fine with adjusting aero and engine packages over the years. Technology changes, those factors need checks and balances. On the other hand... The introduction of playoff formats was pandering to stick and ball sports fans to draw them in. Changing to group qualifying was an attempt to make TV rights to those sessions more valuable. The charter system was brought in to please and protect the team owners. What's the common theme here? None of those changes came because the core fan base demanded them. I'll be curious to see the schedule for 2021 and beyond, when track contracts start to expire. Overall, I thought the 2020 changes were interesting, not a bad start on a revamping that needs to be taken much further. If they start to weed out some of the second race dates at cookie cutter tracks, that would be something the core group of race fans have been wanting for years. NASCAR needs to admit that the sport can't continuously grow bigger like it did in the boom years, and that's a tough pill for a business to swallow. The bids on future TV contracts will be lower. Fan attendance at tracks has fallen off, they need to think in terms of stabilizing and maintaining that at the current levels instead of grasping at gimmicks in hopes of a creating new growth. NASCAR can get smaller and survive. They NEED to scale down their expectations. They need to listen to the fans who have the sport deep in their blood, not do web polls where they are running random suggestions past the general public. Trying to be all things to all people is not a good business plan. 294.

He went 3 laps down, got them all back via speed and... immediately got another loose wheel and had to pit under green to go 3 more laps down. If you're here in the future wondering how a champion didn't win more at JGR, the team around him set him up to fail and this was a hilarious example. 301.

The correct question is "What is Busch?" One contestant incorrectly buzzed in with "What is Coors?" Kurt Busch took to Twitter after seeing that to joke Jeopardy should have asked that questions about the 2019 Quaker State 400 instead since Kurt and Kyle finished 1-2 there with him winning that one instead of Rowdy's win here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
