    NASCAR in Vegas this weekend

     



    Sam Hornish won the Nationwide race in a Penske Ford, out raced Kyle Busch for the win so it wasn't no easy one!!! Penske doesn't seem to be having a whole lot of problem switching from Dodge to Ford!!!!! Good race!

    It was a good race for sure! At least there was some real racing going on all over the track!! To bad Trevor Baine got roughed up early, but he made it back to 4th.
    I was pullin' for the youngster - lol..

    Yeah!!! Both him and Kyle Larson are having a tough start, both seem to wind up the victim of someone else's mistakes---Vegas and Daytona!!!!!

    Yeah, curious to see how that comes out!!! Should have the right to say what you want----but then NASCAR also has the right to say you can't play in their game unless you do pay the fine!!!!

    PS--This would be the opinion of an old racer who was suspended for life twice from the same track for telling them what I thought of their operation!!!!!

    Twice Huh?? Just didn't learn the first time??

    Denny only stated his opinion that the G6 car wasn't far removed from the G5 car, basically what's old is what's new... I don't disagree with him too!

    Don't see why NASCAR got all fired up about that. Just a bit over sensitive I think!

    Yeah, didn't hear anything I thought would bring a fine.... But, like you said, it's their new toy and their playground and they just don't want any talkin' bad about their new toy!!!!

    Reminds me of that scene from the playground when the brat says "it's my ball and I'm going home!"..

    For years I've had my own idea for NASCAR rules----Make the minimum weight 3,000 pounds, limit the tire size to 9" wide, and limit the compression ratio to 9:1. Similar to the ASA rules in the late 80's, racing was great, and the lowered compression ratio limited the horsepower and made the engine more reliable.... Probably wouldn't even need a restrictor plate for the Superspeedway's anymore?

    I completely agree! And the C.I.D. should be 300". And dump the front splitters and the rear spoiler height to 4" / 5" max.
    I think I'd like to see the car up a bit off the track with no bump stops. Make the suspensions work and carry the car.

    All this would show us quickly who is\are the real driver(s)
