Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!!

[w8jy]

According to the website, we are beginning a new segment in Pocono - does that mean we have to do an all new roster this week?

I missed the first week in segment 2, and don't want to do that again.

I thought there were 3 segments and the 3rd one starts with the chase portion ( race 26 ?? )

I think the next segment is September 25th.

It only took me a few seconds to find it

In the Stock Car Challenge, the 2013 NASCAR Season is divided into three segments:

Segment 1 (11 races)
Segment 2 (15 races)
Segment 3 (10 races)
* See Official Rules for Segment Race List.

After each of these segments rosters will be reset and players will have to construct a new team for the first race of that segment.

So yes, after race 26 - we'll all have to re-pick our drivers

[teejay]

Looks like we all had a pretty good day for a change . My own "big move" was finally swapping out Hamlin ( 43rd) for Kahne ( 1st )

NASCAR NEWS:

Tony Stewart broke both bones in his lower right leg Monday night after another crash in a sprint car.

Stewart-Haas Racing confirmed early Tuesday morning that the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion broke the tibia and fibula in his right leg in a crash at Southern Iowa Speedway, a half-mile dirt oval in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Stewart was transported to an area hospital after the accident, and immediately underwent surgery.

[Tyson Rayles]

Excuse me while I go kick him off my team.

All of my drivers finished in the top 10, that will probably never happen again.

[teejay]

Yeah , mine were top 12 ....and I did replace Smoke already . Before his Monday's accident he was up here in Ontario the week before and flipped a sprint car 5 times while going for the lead at a nearby dirt track ....he was shook up from that wreck but did well at Pocono .

Congrats Mike , good score !

[Tyson Rayles]

Thanks T, but you were right there with me darn it!

I don't wish Stewart any ill will , but given the situation regarding Ryan Newman's expected firing at season end , I'd like to see Smoke miss the chase , Newman get in and do well ...he's not good enough to win it all I don't think , but maybe it will humble the too-full-of-himself Stewart ego .......then again maybe it won't .

Well - you do have to take into consideration that nowadays, these guys have to have a Type A personality. They have to be on the ball all the time. They don't have the option to "blink".

John Force is the same way - you never hear him say the word "me"... It's always "We", same with Stewart. He tells you what he thinks, talks about his team and always says a bit "too much"....

With all that said, I was thinking the same thing about Newman when they said they were cutting him loose. It would be good for him next year, if he made the Chase this year.
