Spa's one of the funner circuits out there too. -
Props to Kurt Busch. Realizing he won't be back in time to be a factor, he officially renounced his playoff spot.
So scenarios are
- If any previous winner, Ryan Blaney, or Martin Truex win: The last spots go to Blaney and Truex
- If somebody else wins: They take the fifteenth spot, and the sixteenth goes to whoever comes out in points between Blaney and Truex. Blaney holds a 25 point lead, so Truex has a ton of ground to make up. If Truex and Blaney somehow tie- the tiebreaker is highest finish. Right now that's Blaney, who's got a third place best, while MTJ's best is fourth. Truex finishing third won't be enough- Blaney has four fourth place finishes vs MTJ's two. So the only way MTJ wins a tiebreaker is by finishing second.Comment

Blaney is always strong at Daytona. But if I'm him...at least in stage one...I hang out towards the back. If Truex does well in stage 1, then he has to be up front...but if Truex doesn't get stage points, he can ride the 2nd stage too.Originally posted by Pollaski View Post

Of COURSE Denny Hamlin gets froggy and causes a wreck at the end of the first stage and Blaney is a casualty.
MTJ's in car right now:

Video showing it was raining on the front stretch for about thirty seconds before the crash. So either NASCAR knew, and just sent a bunch of cars at 195mph into a wet high banked turn, or their rain detection system is flawed as shit.
Either way, this "aw, shucks, no way we could have known" attitude they're showing is appalling.Comment

Fine by me. I didn't want to see Blaney get bumped.Originally posted by Pollaski View PostTruex...Comment

Lol at Daytona. I was hoping Gragson would get up there and steal one but Austin Dillon plays a great spoiler.
Kyle Busch was more relaxed than I have ever seen him during the rain delay interview. I wouldn't be surprised if he had made a decision about his future and it involves retirement.Comment

It sucks for Truex but, if you have to get in on points in the last race, you probably aren't going very far in the playoffs.Originally posted by Pollaski View PostTruex...Comment

Not sure I agree with this for him or Blaney. From a points standpoint, I think both of them will/would have gotten out of the first round, if not the second.Originally posted by riker7 View Post
Dillon & Cindric aren't getting out of the first round without a miracle. Then it'll be 2 of Briscoe, Suarez and Bowman also cut.
Then whoever of that 5 doesn't get cut in round one is gone in round 2, along with Bell, Busch & Reddick.Comment

Belgian GP:
It's always fun when the fastest car starts in the back.
Kudos to Lewis for cutting off the pit reporter when she tried to stir something up.
I have to wonder if Lewis retires after this season. He has nothing left to prove and he is clearly no longer having fun.Comment

Fuck it, come to the States and run IndyCar or a PROJECT91 race. Although if he has the mentality of Schumacher then he can fuck right off.Originally posted by riker7 View PostComment

Maybe he takes a couple of years off and gives IndyCar a try. I like Lewis but I think he is too woke for NASCAR.Originally posted by nutt View PostComment

It sucks for me just getting into it and missing his reign of greatness. Hopefully Merc can catch up a bit to Red Bull and Ferrari with the car by next year (or they call back to the pack somehow).
If not Max m is going to dominate for years unless Leclerc and Ferarri clean up their weekly fuckups or someone like Lando gets in a contending car.Comment
