NASCAR Sprint Cup Round 18: Firecracker 400 (Daytona)

Time to eat a hot dog or two and blow something up. A Saturday night race on 4th of July weekend. 'Merica.

Best news is that we shouldn't have any weather issues this weekend.

Nascar have confiscated roof flap parts from 16 Cup teams and 15 Nationwide teams following pre-practice inspections (story is on Nascar.com). For the conspiracy theorists out there the cars affected account for all of the chase contending Toyota's and Fords, but no Chevys...

An awful restrictor plate race with "Big Cwashes" at the end to keep the masses happy, I'm sure SPEED thought it was the best race ever

Yeah. Props to Ambrose for trying to be aggressive, but you see the result whenever they try to race.

It wasn't a crazy move by Ambrose either and a real pity for KK... that guy really has no luck. But the way the superspeedway races are run, this is what happens.

Luckily the "two by two" stuff is gone BUT now the entire field is running in a pack. Not so very long ago there would be three packs of cars, the first of which consisted of 6-7 cars. Of those 6-7 cars, 3-4 had a chance of winning. Maybe it was less entertaining to some, but it was safer in my mind.

I call it a brilliant result. Dirty Marcos has a sniff of the lead, hits/gets hit.
Back to 28th, then a DNF.

Pure, unadulterated gold. Funniest thing on TV all day.
I just love seeing that pushing, punting ****** get some payback.

I wonder who he blamed this time?

Unlike his Bathurst crash with Greg Murphy a few years ago.

At least Spud is driving in Aust and NZ and didn't run of to the U.S. when he got caught cheating at Bathurst. Remember the balaclava incident.

are you Ambrose's illegitimate love child or something? The way your postings carry on about him, i think you need to build a bridge, he left the country years ago and the only contribution you give to the NASCAR threads are derogatory to Ambrose even laying blame where the experienced NASCAR commentators don't.

Glad to see the Red/Blue war spill over in the stockcar thread. Thanks, Taz.



Typical plate race; a real mess, with lots of owners writing checks this week for broke ass racecars, an idiotic GWC finish, edge of the seat racing until the bomb goes off and the drivers absolutely stuck dealing with this BS 4 times a year. They honestly do the best they can, but shyte happens.

Only one not complaining this year about plate racing would be JJ and Co., and every dumbass redneck that likes seeing sparks and smoke and bashed up racecars every 40 laps or so.

You got to admit , 3x12x200mph racing is pretty intense racing.
Its really amazing to me. No where else on the planet can you
see this phenomena. The wrecks were kinda cool 15 years ago
because they were so gigantic. Now I cringe because its a 30 minute caution and have to endure the interviews outside the
care centers.

ask any driver in any series, if they'd win one single race or take the title, all of them would rather win the championship then just one race lol, even if it's Bathurst.

Apologies for being off topic, but both P Brock and A Moffat agreed with Ambrose that Murhpy was at fault.

Anyone he undersells Ambrose's achievements in the US are kidding themselves. He had never raced on an oval before embarking on his NASCAR career and is up against guys he spent their entire life on ovals.

It is indeed an awesome sight to watch until the inevitable happens, which it always does and it is happening more often over the last 3 or 4 years than in all of the years of plate racing combined.

I hate seeing torn up racecars, even if they are taxis.
