Mike Honcho 4,037 Posted October 22, 2017 Feels like they finally got it right, season bonus points, stage wins, counting and carrying over in the chase makes it so the season matters, but you can still get knocked out. This has been the most exciting playoffs since the Edwards/Stewart duel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 4,037 Posted October 30, 2017 SHRUB !@# Not that he or Truex needed it,but great races for them, guys had 4th/5th place cars pretty much the entire last stage and end up 1-2. And Kyle holding that lead for the entire last turn with Truex below him, Gotta make Kyle a heavy favorite at Miami. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 3,979 Posted October 30, 2017 Sorry to offend. I have never understood the draw of NASCAR. Then don't post in a thread devoted to it. If you choose to mock it without even trying to understand it you're just being a d*ck. Have you ever been been in a car driven at speed on a racetrack?

Have you ever been been in a car driven at speed on a racetrack? I have tried to understand it; I do understand it. I'm just not into it. The only NASCAR events I can get behind are road events.

Strike 3,979 Posted October 30, 2017 SCCA "events". WTF does that even mean? You did parade laps? I asked a very specific question that anyone with experience on a race track would understand. You answer talking about some POS car that no one has ever heard of with vague language, throwing out SCCA as if that somehow legitimizes your idiotic claims. Again......

You asked if I have ever driven at speed on a race track. I have. They were SCCA sanctioned events, from E street to AS cone time trials. I've participated in solo, restricted and unrestricted passing events at Road America. I drove fast, won a couple of events, spent way too much doing it, messed up my car plenty, got a tire sponsor, lost the sponsor, and eventually stopped doing it. And the car wasn't a POS. It was awesome. I loved that car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,125 Posted November 6, 2017 Back to commenting on the topic at hand. I really hope Blaney gets in the final 4. Taking that Wood Brothers team from a back of the pack car for nearly the last 3 decades to the front? Pretty unbelievable. Just by making the final 8 he has already done better than anyone else this season, championship or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 3,979 Posted November 20, 2017 Truex. :pointstosky: P.S. - This one is special. Truex's GF has been battling cancer for years and the owner of his team, Barney Visser, had a heart attack a week and a half ago and couldn't even be there for this win. So congrats to Martin and the entire team for battling through adversity and showing that a little team not based in N.C. can still be competitive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 917 Posted November 20, 2017 If it couldnt be Rowdy, Truex is the next best thing. Hes always had the talent, just needed a team with the resources Gibbs has. Top the day off with Jr. being a non-factor, and it was a pretty damn good year of racing. KB in 2018 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
