PM's have been sent to all registered competitors. Currently there are 9 confirmations.

Entry list and driver points updated for tomorrow's race.

I qualifyed 6th, way ahead of where I thought I would, and then worked my way up to 3rd or 4th in the opening 4 laps. Then, I ran off the track on the quick right hander and got stuck with the front end faced against the retaining wall.

MRT does not have reverse, so I was forced to DNF.

NASCAR never has been consistant with penalties. This should change with the 2014 Rulebook that will have exact penalties for certain infractions.

This whole thing has been a mess though. In the end it will only hurt NASCAR as a whole.

That being said, I like the self-policed system as far as racing incidents. Intentional crashing probably isn't the right thing, but something like what happened at Bristol and California this year is great. Race people the way they have raced you in the past. I'm not wanting anybody to get hurt of course. That was the only downfall of that instance.

I think NASCAR is against saying anything about Bowyer spinning to cause a caution direclty because they themselves do a similar thing. They just blame debris. . They have little credability in my mind due to that already. NASCAR should focus on producing a fair race rather than an exciting race. The fake debris caution last week made the racing less exciting than it previously was anyways I thought.

Quote from Mustafur :

Serves them right.

Could not have said it better myself.

About time NASCAR opened its eyes about something that happened last weekend.

I'm for it I'd watch

Quote from ACCAkut :

F1 night races are like a LFS race with the skybox switched to black

I feel as though in NASCAR night races should be ran only on concrete surfaced race tracks like Bristol, Dover and Martinsville (partial concrete) because concrete is hardly effected by changes in temperature. Asphalt dramatically changes in temperature and grip based upon weather conditions which are hardly if at all changed over the course of a night.

I'm not sure if these changes effect a Formula 1 race as much as they do a NASCAR race. If so, I'd rather the races be during the day as opposed to at night unless F1 someday runs on a concrete race track, or unless a night race helps a great number of fans watch the race live. (IE: A weekday race or a race in a time zone where Sunday afternoon is the middle of the night in Europe).

Quote from RandomnessInside :

You sir, ate my words.

I hope for at least 14 people to turn up.

I will hope to be there, but it depends on a few things in my schedule . If not good luck and hope for a great turn out.

Quote from Mr. Kninja :

I can't believe I missed something like this...

If you ever put on another challenge like this, I'll be sure to make it.

If there's anybody else who you think might be interested let them know about it next time too.. Those who were there enjoyed it (at least i'm lead to beleive so), but they felt it lacked competitors like most of our recent events

Event begins in 16 min.

Results Added. Team and Nation Points Standings will be kept starting with Round #2

I have made an alteration to the opening post. The full distance will be run if attendance is 21 or more now, and the rest of the numbers have been adjusted accordingly.

Kelly Heaphy, who was with the No. 6 team at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, has been fined $2,500 and denied access to all NASCAR events indefinitely for her involvement in an altercation with a competitor following Sunday’s race.

I guess that there is reason to wonder if the 2014 Realistic NASCAR Cup Series is even worth making a schedule for. Please respond to this thread. If yes no explanation is needed.

If no, please explain why or don't post (Don't be stupid or it will be deleted..)

Thanks. The Kyoto 400 will be attempted regardless

Not sure why I was saying Front Row rather than Furniture Row

I just don't think that Stewart Hass will be the place to be moving forward. They aren't really performing.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

how can you blame kurt for wanting to win?

I don't blame him for that, but I do blame him for going to a higher expectations team. Front Row Motorsports is a growing organization and it takes a good driver like Kurt (albeit hot headed) to get their organization moving forward.

Regan Smith (who isn't the most experianced of drivers at the Sprint Cup level by any means) won the Southern 500 in that car and scored in the twenties in points each year. I'm not so sure somebody of that experiance level would be much better in Stewart-Hass equipment.

Newman is finishing worse than Busch right now

Every organization starts out as a single car operation at some point. If I was Kurt I would have stuck around and seen what I could do at Front Row. In a few years perhaps they would be a championship threat. They are already in VERY good shape to make the Chase (6 points to the good going into the final regular season race) That's something that Stewart Hass is not this year, and would be having a tough time doing even for Tony had he not been hurt. That and he's going to be going to a completely new team. That streches their resources and means that Kurt's team will be even less experianced than Front Row.

The race was really exciting . Was also messy with one third of the race being run behind the safety car. :/
