Then, just when they're at the last 10 races, he says,"just kidding". <br /><br />We'd get to see the drivers tear up the tracks and each other in the meantime. <br /><br />Points racing has been going on for years. It's always been about consistency. Which isn't a bad thing, IMO. Just more so to get/stay in the top 12.<br /><br />@ nrf, I watch both shows for the same reason you stated. <br /><br />I also want to mention. I learned something by reading TDP. I Googled "New England". It does not include NY. All this time I thought it consisted of that entire corner of the country.Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701502016993312530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-15133911012617166542009-06-23T22:41:13.396-04:002009-06-23T22:41:13.396-04:00Ricky Craven said what I've been complaining a...Ricky Craven said what I've been complaining about for a long time. The Chase does nothing but promote points racing, and not real racing. Does anyone here think that if there was more to winning that Tony Stewart would have played follow the leader with Kasey? Heck no. He would have raced his butt off and tried to win outright. But instead of taking a chance of spinning out, Stewart just bided his time so as not to lose points for the Chase.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317806052595515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3481675128372375022009-06-23T20:27:26.915-04:002009-06-23T20:27:26.915-04:00When I watch the road course races on NASCAR tv, w...When I watch the road course races on NASCAR tv, whether the pre-race or race itself, the broadcasters would have you believe the "road course ringers" were Michael Schumacher.<br /><br />Enough already.<br /><br />The Gordons and Stewart, Mark Martin and a few other regulars know how to drive road courses.

I think he's more than qualified to comment on ANY NASCAR race.<br /><br />I find his insights informative and entertaining, a combination that escapes most NASCAR expert commentators.<br /><br />PS to JD: I checked ESPN2 from about 8pm until after midnight and didn't see NASCAR NOW because they were replaying the US Open.dannyboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-10301359119492268612009-06-23T12:47:38.448-04:002009-06-23T12:47:38.448-04:00Heh, Waltrip would rather have a fast car than a f...Heh, Waltrip would rather have a fast car than a fuel mileage one.

That's every single crew chief but one, and I still don't know what that one was thinking. He apparently wasn't watching the Glen last year when Dale Jr. got burned by Tony Jr. being the only crew chief that didn't play that game, or he just wanted to get that unsponsored car some TV time, I don't know.<br /><br />To me that certainly made fuel mileage <b>THE</b> story of this race and makes it the story of every NASCAR road course race.<br /><br />To completely ignore the whole field playing that same backwards fuel mileage game because you think a caution "probably won't come out during that window" would be incredibly irresponsible by the TV networks, and every crew chief but one certainly agreed on Sunday.<br /><br />I absolutely hate watching that backwards fuel mileage game play out in every single road course race but unfortunately it's a reality that can't be ignored. That "rare yellow flag during the window" happened again on Sunday. Robby Gordon, Martin Truex, and John Andretti got burned. Had that yellow come out one lap earlier Tony Stewart and Marcos Ambrose would have been toast as well. A couple laps earlier and Kasey Kahne would have never had a prayer to win that race.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-55820207783215322422009-06-23T00:32:00.247-04:002009-06-23T00:32:00.247-04:00I enjoyed both shows tonight.
