Ewww - Only 10 weeks until Thanksgiving!!!!! ![]() The 2013 Chase For The Sprint Cup Standings: 1 Matt Kenseth 2 Jimmie Johnson 3 Kyle Busch 4 Kevin Harvick 5 Carl Edwards 6 Joey Logano 7 Greg Biffle 8 Clint Bowyer 9 Dale Earnhardt Jr 10 Kurt Busch 11 Kasey Kahne 12 Ryan Newman 13 Jeff Gordon EVERYONE GO SET UP YOUR TEAMS!!!!!!! Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - teejay - 09-11-2013 The whole " taking a dive " episode involving Waltrip ,Bowyer , Truex etc was an embarrassment . Bowyer should have got a bigger penalty . T Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - Tyson Rayles - 09-11-2013 I don't follow things as close as some do I guess, what is this taking a dive all about? I didn't have any of those people but my points for the week dropped by 12 since Sunday night while some others went up? Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - teejay - 09-11-2013 Michael Waltrip Racing was ( supposedly ) trying to get Marty Truex into the Chase . As the race wound down to a conclusion , Clint Bowyer ( supposedly) spun on purpose and teammate Brian Vickers was called to the pits , to shake up the running order and give another teammate Marty Truex a chance to get a few extra points to get into the Chase . Confused ? So were all of us ! At the time of this incident , Ryan Newman was leading and " in the Chase " if he could hold his position for a few more laps ...but his pit crew couldn't get him out in the lead and he fell back far enough to allow Truex to get into the Chase just ahead of Newman . Then Nascar stepped in after listening to various replays of in car radios and determined that there was collusion to change the race outcome . Your Pit Reporter , T ![]() Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - ngauger - 09-11-2013 ..................... So now - after each of the 3 MWR teams is getting fined $300,000.00 EACH - and each team having 50 points taken away.. Truex is out of the Chase.. and Boyer is still in.. But Gordon's team is trying to get Boyer thrown out - since he did start everything by spinning out, because if he goes, Gordon is next on the list to "drop into" the Chase ![]() ![]() But NASCAR'S only point of view is that they will not tolerate any sort of open cheating and since a restart closes up the field and rearranges the field. They are being heavily penalized.. Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - teejay - 09-11-2013 Right on , Mikey . I do understand Nascar's difficult position regarding the "ripple effect " and how Gordon was the loser on that ....but how far back can you go to create a what-if scenario ? I agree , Bowyer escaped unscathed and Gordon got screwed by circumstances . But with everyone at MWR in denial , there is only circumstantial evidence , and they will take their penalty and shut up . I think the ridicule that Waltrip and Bowyer will be receiving for some time in the future , will be "the punishment ". I suspect a lot of boos and sponsors don't like boos !! T Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - ngauger - 09-11-2013 Well - now they are saying that the Ford teams of Logano and Gilliand... were in collusion to get Logano into the Chase ![]() On top of all this; Boyer is now saying exactly what you are saying... "There is no way that he could foresee how all those things could develop just from a spin out"... So now he's defending himself saying it was not on purpose.. It just keeps getting more interesting ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - teejay - 09-11-2013 Racers will let their team mates take the lead for extra points ......happens all the time and isn't collusion . But a pro driver like Bowyer spinning ? ...c'mon...even Junior who was behind Bowyer thought it weird / on purpose ....then again Junior will defend Gordon like he should . I guess with all the fame and money that goes with the Chase, it will produce some cheating but this was pretty blatant . ...and the "jump start "controversy with Edwards ? I don't know .....when does the leader try to back off to create a jump start ? It happens . Tough to call . I was at a nearby 200 lap late model race for $10,000 ...big money locally . On a restart with 8 laps to go , the leader on the inside clearly backed off a bit .....second place guy on the outside goes by at the green flag and they penalize HIM ! Inside guy wins $10 grand . Like I said ,it happens . T Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - ngauger - 09-11-2013 and that's exactly why some of the "true" fans of racing are saying that nothing should have been done.. Almost all the teams "cheat" in some way - it's just that some get caught.. Look at Chad Knauss & Jimmy Johnson. They have been fined and on probation more than any other team recently.. and Johnson is one of the most respected racers now... Go figure ![]() Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - teejay - 09-11-2013 I think they embarrassed Nascar as well as the fans this time , though . If nothing is done , Nascar looks foolish . JJ has several titles on his resume which , let's face it , gives him some leverage . They have a tougher time slapping a champion than the average guy . Earnhardt used to take guys out ( I saw him take out LABONTE on the final lap at Bristol for the win in the " just wanted to rattle his cage " race ) and all was OK . He was an icon .

I'm waiting for Sunday when the analysts have their say LOL I wonder what Kyle Petty will say about all of it ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - teejay - 09-11-2013 Can't stand KP ....career 35 place driver 5 laps down ...suddenly he's an " expert ". Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - ngauger - 09-13-2013 And as of 4:00 PM EDT - NASCAR has announced that Jeff Gordon will occupy the newly created 13th place in the Chase... It's a special double secret clause - buried deep somewhere in the rules LOL Just this once we'll have 13 Teams going for the Cup ![]() ![]() Mandatory Drivers and Owners meeting tomorrow morning!!! NASCAR is gonna Lay Down The Law and that will be "it".. Damn I wish I could be in on that meeting ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - teejay - 09-13-2013 Well Jeffie whined long and loud and just set a precedent for future seasons .......hope the little guy is happy now . ![]() T Re: Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!! - ngauger - 09-13-2013 teejay Wrote:Well Jeffie whined long and loud and just set a precedent for future seasons .......hope the little guy is happy now . ![]() ![]() ![]() |
