The OFFICIAL NASCAR chase thread
Discussion
Seeing as there doesn't seem to be one anywhere I thought I would start a thread as I know a few people on here follow this.
So who do we think will take the title this year? Jimmy Johnson is looking good (again) but do we think he can make it five in a row?
Personally I would love to see Kyle Busch win.
What do the PH massive think?

My money's on Johnson, my heart says Cousin Carl (not going to happen!), my sneaky feeling is Kevin Harvick.
Kyle Busch had his chances screwed up by the 00 at Kansas. I know it's a contact sport, but that was uncalled for. It was amazing to watch Johnson scythe through the pack - compare the efforts of his teammate, Dale Jr, and they're like chalk and cheese.

Speaking off Kansas did anyone catch the post race interview with Reutimann? Kyle Busch had his chances screwed up by the 00 at Kansas. I know it's a contact sport, but that was uncalled for.

Sheepish doesn't cover it
Kyyyyyyyyyyyyle has had that coming for a while now from at least a couple of drivers who he's wrangled with, lets not forget Joey Logano and even his brother!
Johnson is the strongest in the chase but what confuses me is you have everything from short tracks to Talladega yet no road course?

There's only 2 road courses used out of 36 races, so it's no surprise that there isn't one in the chase. I enjoy watching Stock Cars turn right for a change, but I'd much prefer a night Bristol race in there!
Indeed! swap one of the 1.5 mile tracks for Bristol.. now that would be fun! Fane said:
I enjoyed last weeks race - some good four wide action and not too many cautions. I can't understand why JPM always starts so strongly and then falls back (apart from when he t
ts the wall, that is).
Roll on Charlotte.
Earnhardt Ganassi has never had a truly championship-winning team so they're still learning somewhat really. On a slightly unrelated note, you thought BTCC crashes were bad ts the wall, that is).Roll on Charlotte.
Seems that action in the Nationwide is going to be more heated than normal...
It is Danica and she was running well last weekend, until she got turned into the wall a few laps before the end. Much better than in any of her previous races, would have been on for a lead lap finish and was running at a similar speed to the 88 (same team, Aric Almirola is much more experienced NASCAR driver though). Definitely not her fault that wreck.
I was really hoping it would be Kyle's year as he needed it to make up for his poor showing last season.Aww, give the 48 a break! You have to admire what Chad Knaus and Jimmie do - they don't have the fastest pitcrew, they don't win every race, they have the same basic tool as, say, Junior, and they get the job done time and time again.
On a side note, you've got to love a sport where hotdog wrappers getting in the grille are a major cause of engine troubles.

in other words, they just get all the luck.Forums | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
