What was the most pathetic thing was Mikey saying Chase is the highest anticipated driver to graduate to the Cup series ever, even more than Dale Jr. Yeah fuckin right!! Chase Elliott more anticipated than Jesus Earnhardt... Mikey needs to be taken out back and shot, he is the worst "analyst" EVER. |

Seriously though. I don't think NASCAR is even trying anymore at this point. |

Looking forward to all the "Chase for the Sprint cup/field chasing down chase" puns from the media in the run up to the 500...

You can't make this shit up, 4 years in a row the 500 pole sitter has some story attached to it

Seriously though, are you all reacting to the pole winner or the inevitable "too good to be true" media coverage? I don't see what's wrong or surprising about Chase Elliott winning pole, his odds must have been pretty low considering it's a Hendrick car, last year's pole winning car and driver experience doesn't really matter at plate track qualifying. |

Hmm.. looks like Truex Jr's roof flap that they didn't let run.

Looks like the teams are using the roof flap to divert some air over the rear spoiler. |

It's because of NBCSN taping the K&N race, that will air on Thursday at 10:30PM ET by the way. SPEED51 did highlights I believe last year so you might see something before that |

so apparently they are running without timing and scoring for the K&N race? or they aren't showing it to the public anyways (Race Monitor isn't up because NASCAR doesn't use it too). They are at halfway. Live updates if you don't care about spoilers : http://hometracks.nascar.com/nknps-east ... a_01292016 also of note, the DIRTcar Nationals will be getting some TV time, the first night of the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds, as well as the UMP Modifieds & DIRTcar Late Models will be shown on MavTV as apart of National Speed Sport News coverage. |

They are at halfway. NASCAR touring series always bring their own timing and scoring equipment and do not use the track's equipment. I'm not very familiar with Race Monitor but it likely won't show up in the same place as the weekly (non-touring) races from New Smyrna, if they make it public at all. |

the 24 team won the pole for 3 of the 4 plate races last year, too. i don't think it was rigged. i think the Danica and Dillon poles definitely were, though. |

| Post subject: | Re: Speedweeks 2016 |
anyway, the 14 and the 4 failed tech. i'd assume the 24 would have, too, if it didn't win the pole. NASCAR can't have that. i saw various cars yesterday during practice with the roof flap thing, i completely forget who they were now, but i remember thinking it looked weird. |

damn. In other news, as I didn't see it posted here earlier, Harvick and Vickers had their time disallowed in qualifying for track bar adjustments |

Looks like there was some controversy at the finish in the K&N race (in spoiler for those waiting for the race telecast) Spoiler: not. shocked. at. all. |
