Yeet posted: 07.10.2019 - 2:03 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) @12 I agree, not trying to sound like Rob Kaufmann here but this race is still going to be awesome despite only 36 cars, and you can't let the fact that there is only 36 cars give you the perception this race is gonna suck. This race will be really good I believe, there will likely be a handful of wrecks on restarts with drivers 3-4 wide going into Turn 3 being the monster that it is. I don't know what will happen when the storm settles and we have green flag runs, but I believe there will be passing, just likely not in Turn 3 unless a driver makes a mistake, and personally I am clueless how well the leader can hold the lead, but I can't wait. 15.

Mile501 posted: 07.10.2019 - 3:48 pm Rate this comment: (3) (2) The racing may be "good" by some definitions, but only in a way that is more artificial. I have been quite turned off by recent comments from NASCAR leaders that this high downforce package is the way they're planning to go as we look toward the future. They don't seem to care that it puts less emphasis on driver skill. Not that it's the first time NASCAR hasn't seemed to care about something significant, but when you don't care whether or not your drivers can showcase their talent, what do you have left? 17.

Call me old fashioned, but I liked it better when a car could spin out without ripping the entire nose off the car, and drivers actually had to drive the cars....heck, I even miss the days of bias-ply tires! lol Oh well, I guess it's the way it's gonna be now. 21. Joshua posted: 07.11.2019 - 9:23 am Rate this comment: (1) (1) From what I've gathered, the NASCAR execs are fixated upon making Landon Cassill, Matt Tifft, Corey Lajoie, etc. have the same chance of winning as the Gibbs, Penske, Hendrick, and Stewart-Haas guys. The problem is none of them have ever been in a car, so they don't understand you can't just put a parachute on all the cars, especially the faster ones, and create a 36-car crapshoot. Unfortunately we're stuck on 550 HP for the foreseeable future unless by some miracle someone who has driven or at least has a solid grasp of the spirit and physics of racing gets into a decision-making role for NASCAR within the next 2-3 years. 22.

Mile501 posted: 07.11.2019 - 12:14 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) @21 - And we had a situation somewhat like that in 2001, when cars throughout the field has legitimate chances to win--not every week, though, and some were still much better than others. That played out naturally. But a variety of circumstances (including a car that was better than what we have now) combined to create that environment, and I don't know that it's something NASCAR can easily recreate now. 24. 1995-Subaru-WRX-Sti posted: 07.11.2019 - 5:33 pm Rate this comment: (4) (1) "Unfortunately we're stuck on 550 HP for the foreseeable future unless by some miracle someone who has driven or at least has a solid grasp of the spirit and physics of racing gets into a decision-making role for NASCAR within the next 2-3 years." The manufacters and OEMs want less HP. The type of engines they have in NASCAR is for NASCAR ONLY. Nothing from those engines comes from the street or anything else. You can blame NASCAR if you want but these cars haven't been from the street since the 50's. Why are people so dead set against slowing the cars down? In order too make racing better you might as well slowing the cars down. Not with this package but you can have great racing with slowing the cars down. Fans and drviers want skill too matter. Funny that the skill that matter are those who don't even drive the cars. And you can blame the teams for that. Why? Engineers. The teams use computer simulations, 7 post shaker rig and all the other BS too get it back. Increasing cost + worse racing = what we have now. NASCAR didn't want a 'one size fits all' package. NASCAR wanted 3-4 versions of a aero package but the teams were dead set against it. Why? Didn't want too dump the money into R&D. Which is so DAMN FUNNY. Josh Hamilton's commented this on the /r/nascar thread about downforce: "Feedback (including drivers) that lower downforce would produce better racing bc the car would be harder to drive. Unforeseen circumstances made it so engineers became more important than drivers. If you gain 50 lbs of downforce on a 1500 lb downforce car, compared to 50 pounds on a 3000 lb downforce car, you're giving your car a substantial advantage over the field that even the best drivers in the world can't overcome." Quote above proves my point. I'm sorry that i'm not torching NASCAR on a regular basis. 25. Corey posted: 07.11.2019 - 5:51 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) @24 I have a feeling that engineers are the reason why most racing series are what they are today. That and really thick technical regulations. 26. David posted: 07.11.2019 - 7:18 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Odd that the main page video on this site highlights Hendrick Motorsports at Kentucky when no Hendrick driver (and in fact no Chevrolet, period) has ever won a race here. Whatever qualifies as "success" under those circumstances for HMS mainly occurred back in the first 4 races at this track, while the last 4 have been weak. If there's really anything new to this new racing package on 1.5 mile tracks, then perhaps year #9 at Kentucky will finally have the breakthrough that years 1 through 8 lacked. But if I were a bettor, I'd still put my money on the usual outcome at the end of the race. 27.

Honestly I don't know what to say. We have people who want skill to matter, then we have people who want different winners. To think NASCAR is to blame, when really it's all in the fans who can't come to some form of agreement. 28.

Anthony2 posted: 07.12.2019 - 7:20 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Has there ever been a time where there were 3 straight races won by first-time winners? The closest I think that's ever happened was when Jerry Nadeau & Michael Waltrip won their first Cup races & Steve Park earned his 2nd career win at Rockingham. All that happened between 2000-2001. 31. Corey posted: 07.12.2019 - 7:45 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @30 1949 where the first five races were won by first time winners.

On an unrelated note, I think Michael McDowell has benefited from the change to single-car qualifying. He has 3 top 20 starts (13th, 7th, and 17th) in the last 4 races. 34.

The only other times that there were three first-time winners in three consecutive races both happened in 1950: Bill Rexford, Bill Blair, and Jimmy Florian won races 5-7 and later in the season Johnny Mantz, Fonty Flock, and Leon Sales won races 13-15. 43.

Hopefully we'll see two different pit strategies playing out, since they won't have many green-flag laps on their tires and since passing seems to be difficult. It would play out like this: Some teams: Pit around lap 80, 120, and 160. Other teams: Pit around lap 105 and 160. 72.

I wouldn't expect him to be any different towards his brother either. They've always raced each other hard and do have a sibling rivalry when it comes out on the track. Kurt Busch has come a long way since the early part of his career mainly with his attitude. Although Kyle's attitude is bad it's no where near it was when he came in to the sport as well. Perhaps he could get the counselor Kurt had. It was an exciting finish for sure. Give Kurt Busch a good car and he'll make it a winner. Chevy has now won three races in a row. That hasn't happened since late in 2015 when Jeff Gordon won at Martinsville, Jimmie Johnson won at Texas, and Dale Jr. won at Phoenix. 174.

This is something that was absolutely unreal till Sonoma, when only Chase Elliott managed to win the race, but that was on a superspeedway. Much like last year, when JGR and SHR were winning everything, but their domination ended after 2nd Michigan race and other drivers started winning as well. 189.

Well he didn't wreck him here at Kentucky, but he damn near did. Lol, and he got his revenge. Man what a race between those two. Also, it's interesting that in all the years those two have been racing in Cup together (since 2005), we've never really seen that anticipated battle for a race win between them. We've had a few incidents (2007 All-Star race comes to mind), but never a head-to-head shootout like this. 194.

I really think it's going to come down to who has the fewest problems. All 18 of those teams are playoff-worthy and, given the right circumstances, all could at least make it into the round of 8. At least parity seems to be improving! Buescher is close to breaking into the top 20 in points, which he has never done this far into a season (I'm not counting 2016 when he made the playoffs with that rain-shortened win but was really a 30th place team with Front Row). In vast contrast to the truck series, all this year's winners rank in the top 9 in points, and everyone who is in the top 9 points has won a race except for Kevin Harvick. 195.

This is the first Kurt Busch prevails, beating his younger brother Kyle. The other two times were Sonoma in 2015 and Bristol earlier this year, won by Kyle. I expected Kyle to have some fun instead of having a salty attitude about losing to his brother. We literally never see the two race side by side for the win in the final laps, win or lose Kyle should appreciate the fact. Especially knowing that Kurt's plan beyond 2019 is unclear. 208.

What a great finish to the end, I've never been much of a Kurt fan but nonetheless I'm happy he got the win especially after last week and that final restart got Kyle Larson into 4th. Great day for Ganassi, great finish, and there was plenty of good racing and strategy throughout. Definitely the best race at Kentucky I've ever seen in person. 217.

The last time Ganassi had 2 teams both finish so well in the same race was 14 years ago, at Sonoma in 2004, when Jamie McMurray finished 2nd and Scott Pruett finished 3rd. Ganassi has never had one driver win and another finish in the top 4 in the same race during the organization's nearly 20 year existence. 218.

It's too bad, because he knows what he's talking about and he knows the history of the sport. But, he is absolutely annoying. Maybe if he would not keep getting excited about dull drivers and lackluster racing, he wouldn't be so bad. 222. 1995-Subaru-WRX-Sti posted: 07.14.2019 - 7:57 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) I much prefer the Rick Allen from the Speed channel truck days. That Rick Allen was awesome. Don't know what happened. Much like Dr. Jerry Punch the first time around was much better then the second. I would give anything too have Leigh Diffy and Ralph Sheheen too do it all the time. 223.

But I went looking for something better than that, matching the 2.5 average finishing position between two drivers that they had last night, and that's why I said the last time they finished this well was 14 years ago. 226.

In particular when guys were trying to get by Bowyer midway through the last stage, Logano and Kyle having their battle and then the last restart and battle between the Busch brothers were epic. 227.

Last year averaged 5.5 per race, this year has averaged a little under 4.5 per race. 229. racefangurl posted: 07.15.2019 - 2:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (2) I wasn't home for most of this race and for the rest of it, someone else had the computer.

It's hard to imagine a telecast could have worse production, worse direction, worse graphics, and worse commentary than what NBC provides - they are completely clueless. I do like Dale Jr's commentary, tho - he's knowledgeable, accurate, and his enthusiasm and excitement are genuine. He could easy handle the main commentary without Allen, and find him a good ex-crewchief for a color man and you'd have a good team (not Letarte, who must know stuff about cars but seems completely unable to talk about it). Oh, and maybe find a pit reporter who can tell us something we can't see with our own eyes (do they realize how stupid they sound with the "four tires and fuel" reports?). @222 - please, no. Diffy is a great guy, very knowledgeable, very enthusiastic, very annoying to listen to. Fake excitement on demand is not what we need in a play-by-play man. 233. joey2448 posted: 07.15.2019 - 7:43 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) @232 If you think NBC's production is bad/unprofessional, I can't imagine what your opinion is on FOX. 234.

The possible throwbacks it designed for the green #21 were inspired by Ricky Rudd's 1988 NASCAR Cup win at Watkins Glen (Quaker State's first NASCAR win), Steve Kinser's 2005 World of Outlaws championship season (when the King of the Outlaws won his 20th and last series title...plus 20 races), and the Quaker State / Menards racer Eddie Cheever, Jr. drove in the 1996 Indianapolis 500 when he set the record for the fastest lap in the history of the race (a mark that still stands). Fans could vote through social media and selected the green-and-silver Steve Kinser scheme for Menard to race with instead of the green-and-white Rudd one or the green with yellow, orange, and red stripes Cheever one. 237.

Is that the reason why Quin is still eligible for ROTY in 2020? Because he did run 17 Cup races last year, 16 of those for Cup Points. 242. TTaylor944 posted: 01.08.2020 - 3:17 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The points issue is likely a mistake. The team did not have any late entries, so they should have earned points in every race. As for his ROTY status, the reality is that there is no firm rule in place for that anymore. Erik Jones in Trucks, along with Reddick, Nemechek, and Briscoe in the Xfinity Series all ran half or more of the schedule and received points and were declared eligible the following season. 243. Mile501 posted: 01.08.2020 - 7:43 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I guess it's been fixed since the previous comments, because Quin Houff is now being shown with 3 points for this race. 244.

Erik Jones had a shot for the final 2 laps as the Busch bros were side by side, but EJ just didn't do a good job there and didn't get it done. Sigh. Erik "Third Place" Jones. 245.

If Jones had sidedrafted instead of veering low on the backstretch with 1.5 to go and then NOT LIFTED going into turn 3 he could have had them. But the Busch bros with their experience are simply better trained in those situations. 246.
