I have a job interview ending just a little bit before this time, so if I'm a little late don't wait on me

NASCAR's looked into reducing the power on the Sprint Cup cars actually. I'm opposed, but that doesn't matter.

In other news, ratings were up from last year in Bristol (8%). This means that 3/4 of the points races so far have marked gains. This as contracts are about to expire on TV deals. I don't really care other than I hope NBC gets the 2 packages left on the table if FOX doesn't.

With that said, I have been really disappointed with FOX's coverage this year. Commercials at ALL of the wrong times.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Was more along the lines of brake heat, not heat of the tire through the corner.

WTF was I thinking . Yeah, more downforce actually is needed in that case to reduce the use of brakes.. Despite the fact that they have more now than before..

Maybe they need softer tires to take the corners faster . I'm a little baffled.

Cameron Corns's #5 Realistic NASCAR XRT

What Sunday would be good for a test race? Suggestions? I was eyeing Easter, but I know that probably wouldn't work out for most people. How's April 7th?

Quote from Gougoodthing :

Melting the bead.

As anticipated. They need to take away downforce like they planed to in the first place if so..

Well, Bristol is back I'd say

Pretty good race yesterday really . Far too many tire problems though. Are they melting the bead or are they just wearing out?

AJ comes home 13th in the 51, but Kurt comes home in 4th in the 78. Kyle had a strong run as well . Danica finishes 5 laps down without a single problem in this race . Martinsville will be BAD for her.

Terry finished in front of her

Oh, and the Twitter fight between Hamlin and Logano returned after the race

I don't know. At Dover's June race last year it wasn't all white people at the track. Not to say it wasn't the clear majority, but still.

NASCAR's been doing a good job of becoming accessible to all ages and races recently. Now if they could ever be consistant with their calls and quit trying to make the races exciting rather than letting be as they will...

I had to share this

Quote from JackDaMaster :

wrong

Wow, they did that for the Fall race in 2011 I thought that it was just last year

I stand corrected

So, this means that the lead change totals are down no matter how you look at it . Looking forward to Bristol and California however, I think it's safe to say that the lead change totals will be up. Last year's Spring race at Bristol featured only 13 lead changes and the California race was rain shortened and caution free (until the rain at lap 125, and the race end at lap 129). That race only had 9 lead changes.

44 on the entry list for Bristol

http://www.nascar.com/en_us/ne ... ristol-food-city-500.html

4 lead changes less so far this year than at the same time last year. However, Phoenix's repaved track doesn't seem to favor lead changes as much, so I'd say that it's a little bit ahead of last year because the Spring race last year was on the old configuration.

Pretty good race at the end despite the two stupid yellows early

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Best. Caution. Ever.

This

2 real cautions now after the first 2 were pretty stupid

It's been shaping up to be a pretty good race so far though . Everybody's complaining about being loose. 43 laps to go. JGR (18, 20) vs. HMS (5, 48). JGR seems better on the short runs, HMS on the longer runs.

Every time that something interesting happens (lead change usually) it's during a commercial

Kenseth and BK take 0 tires and now they are 1, 2 infront of JJ and Kahane. Restart to come with just under 40 to go.

Only 1 caution for fake debis on the backstrech at the 100 mile mark. Just past the 200/400 mile mark. Kahan and Johnson have been battling most of the day, but not must to speak of so far.

Since the series is in Las Vegas, the odds of victory have been posted

Danica Patrick: 300-1

Final Practice Results: http://www.jayski.com/stats/2013/pdfs/03lvms2013prac4.pdf

Kyle Bush and Mark Martin lead the 10 lap averages . Truex Jr. turned the fastest single lap by .211 seconds over the rest, but was 4th in 10 lap average.

It would largely depend on which track(s) you'd use for this league. I honestly don't see teammates slowing down to draft with one another. You'd be best off to just do as well as you can without your team's help.

It's not a bad idea though. Maybe you'd be better off to make the XRT start the race, then when he crosses the line with 1 lap to go he spectates and his teammate leaves pit lane in an FXO. Then, once he takes 1 to go another teammate leaves pit lane in an RB4 and finishes the whole distance of the race. .

I don't think this is what you were looking for, but it might work.

Some more from Denny: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=475545152494949

Thanks for sharing that PMD . Sadly we have no idea how testing went today because the drivers are afraid to speak, and we won't have any idea how the car will act until race day on Sunday.

Jeff Burton may be the only driver even talking about this situation: http://aol.sportingnews.com/na ... IQqmRCSUiqYbtHcRxlG7BAQAA

Also, a Conn. Senator wants NASCAR to reject the NRA's race sponsorship because it is disrespectful to those effected by Sandy Hook.

http://aol.sportingnews.com/na ... letter-newtown-sandy-hook

I swear sometimes that I wish I didn't live here. I'm pretty sure that the NRA had nothing to do with the tragedy, and NASCAR and the NRA are free to do as they please despite this unfortunate incident. I guess it serves NASCAR right after they did that to Hamlin

Quote from PMD9409 :

For once, I'm with him.

Hamlin is refusing to pay: http://www.usatoday.com/story/ ... n-6/1971239/?sf10236495=1

Expect an appeal Expect it to be in Hamlin's favor

This is completely pathetic: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ ... ts-185308091--nascar.html

He had to urinate, so it's over after almost 13 hours. It did nothing

Quote from Yuri Laszlo :

Being against CIA using drones to kill Americans is great. Not being against the CIA using drones to kill people elsehwere, not so. Ergo, this man is an hypocrite and I couldn't care less about how long he speaks for.

I'd like to think he's being careful about people turning against him. If it was that way (like I wish it was) he'd probably not have any support

My hopes and the truth are independant of one another usually
