Miss the days of when these Cup cars used to have 900 horsepower, the amount of power roaring into the turns along with sounding meaner and louder than the 550 hp cars they have nowadays
Rear gear rule put an end to high RPM, and the different tapered spacers they run everywhere cuts the power majorly. Now with the transaxles and their spec ratios in the Next Gen it’s even worse especially at the short tracks with the shifting.
Great video, I was there in person. To all the haters out there, it makes no difference who is dominating Nascar, there will always be ppl unhappy with who ever is winning and there can only be one winner. Jimmie represents the sport well, he's respectable, well spoken, competitive and a great role model. Unlike the thugs, thieves, drug addicts and alcoholics in MLB, NBA and NFL. I don't hear NHRA fans bitching about John Force winning 16 Championships, Tony Schumacher winning (not sure exactly how many) somewhere around 7-8 top fuel championships. So whats the effing problem ????????
There was no point in trying. Jimmy used the high line to get a run off the corner, then used the 18’s draft to get a huge run. Trying to block that would have caused a huge wreck.
The reason he complains about restarts is because nobody followed the old restart rules. People jumped them all the time, or slowed down before they went (which is not legal) and NASCAR very rarely penalized anyone. But like he said this year, if they won't police it you just do like everyone else to level the playing field.
if brad is anything like jimmie you and the rest of the people will boooo him in the future when he starts winning so much..............same thing happened to jimmie.........everybody liked jimmie until he beat jeff Gordon for the championship
How has Hendrick ruined Nascar? Its not their fault Joe Gibbs, Roush, Penske, and all the other teams cant keep up with them, they have the money and the resources to make their program better than everyone else, If Penske, Roush, and Gibbs would win more championships then they too could have a great program like Hendrick, granted all those organizations are stellar but when you have the money to do it, why are you going to complain?
+Josh Wycuff You do realize they were talking about the 2 jumping the restart right? Nothing about no cheating, or anything that some kid who hats the 48 because he's a helluva lot better than your driver can think of. Chad was calming Jimmie down, and frankly if I was in Jimmie's shoes, I'd be pissed too. Especially since everyone is too busy trying to see if the 48 cheats that people who really are cheating are able to get away with it.
say something about a guy that has few rumors by jealous fans and not say anything about how Truex can get busted with post race failures 5 or 6 times in a year and multiple times after he has a win and how others can get caught more
