Jeff's not retiring till he gets that fifth championship. He's still as good as anyone out there and I don't see him going anywhere in the next 3 years. In between his family, his back and the fact NASCAR is seemingly engineered to not reward him another championship no matter how good he is, I can...
Except Cope is absolutely correct and right to be pissed. And NASCAR needs more guys like Cope with the passion for the sport to try and run on a shoestring budget with small sponsors.
I wonder if anyone was passing the same sort of judgement on Jackie Stewart or Niki Lauda when they won their championships. Each of Stewart's championships wouldn't have been so definitive if he didn't have the best car in the field on both pace and reliability, and in his Tyrell years Cevert was a...
I don't think NASCAR will do a damn thing about what happened today. I don't think this is the last time we will see such shenanigans this year either.
Why would NASCAR try to discourage the only thing that gets people talking about their product?
NASCAR was always gonna be criticised no matter what they did about this, but I'm glad to see they're actually taking action on this. I just wish it happened to Earl years ago when he tried to kill Kez, seems a bit odd that they throw the book at a generally clean driver like Kenseth first.
reaction from most fans: single file up against the wall for 195 laps - "this is so boring, this car sucks, take away grip, bring back the valence, plate racing is a joke, etc. etc." massive wreck on the last lap and no caution - "best race I've seen in my life, what a finish, stuff ...
Except as already said above Kyle isn't dominating just through sheer driving genius - his crappy year running his own gear proved that. The real problem is a team with top level resources like JGR using those resources to dominate a lower tier series, and the fact they're using a cup star to lead t...
It's starting to scare people that Kyle might actually be THAT great. As ost said, nobody doubts Kyle's skill as a great stock car driver. As for proving himself as one of the greatest or "THAT great", I don't think continuing to dominate a series with far less competition than the Cup se...
Seems like nobody remembers Michèle Mouton whenever this whole "women can't drive on the same level as men" discussion comes up. I'm pretty confident Group-A WRC took a lot more strength, reflexes and ability to ignore self-preservation than today's bubblewrapped version of F1 does.
