That is SO COOL! I grew up listening to the engine roar from Heidelberg racetrack near Pittsburgh. A lot of USAC open wheel, demo derby and figure 8 junk but a few times a year it was STOCK CAR/NASCAR. Good times! Well except for the dirt in the nose stuff...

Harvick had to win last week and win this week to become
the champion. He did just that.

Kudos to Jeff Gordon for taking that late pitstop and leaving the race to those who could win the championship.

I’ll second that. It really didn’t make any sense unless he just wanted to stay out of the way.

Fine Race NASCAR.

In a way hate to say it but yup...classy. Of course NASCAR might have a problem with backing off.

This was a bizarre season in a lot of ways.

We used to watch Billy Vulkovic (sp) race midgets at Kearney Bowl in Fresno and at Madera Speedway in the late 40s and Hard Top races down there about the same time. Also Attended and competed in drag races in Fresno and Bakersfield in 52 & 53...

>>>I attended my first Nascar race in 1956 as a tire changer

WOW! I was born in ‘49 and the first race I >barely< remember was in ‘57. Left early because of the noise, dirt and went to a nearby duck pond in Rennerdale PA. It’s still there FWIW and I take the grand kids there.

I’m a noob. You must have some terrific memories!

Reading in comments on the Nascar thread it has to do with a wheel spacer. Nascar told them not to use it, they did. Nothing else coming of it, according to posters there.

BINGO!!

Got the same info from XMRadio.

chad asked if they could use the spacer. The answer was NO. They used it anyway.

GIT A ROPE!

Should be a Level 600 Penalty for Stubborn Stupidity with a side of Arrogance!

Fine:$8,000,000,000.00
Penalty: chad is banned for life from NASCAR
Bonus Penalty: 6whine has ALL 6 Cups pulled from him for conspiracy.

2 x Bonus Penalty: 6whine and chad must clean All the Port-A-Potties at ALL Tracks for the next 10 Seasons.

Is your XM in car only? I am at the bottom of a huge hill. No RF or sat except for a narrow band to the SW and that is heavily wooded. Internet feed possible?
