2020 NASCAR Thread

Because he's not dead ....
How awesome would it have been for Newman if he had flipped across the line first and won the race?
I was at The Winston in '92 when Davey did that to win.
I was quite inebriated shouting, "He took the checkered flag, and now he's gonna win the f'ing helicopter race!"

 

I'm not so sure anymore. I'd have liked that statement better if it had said he had movement in all extremities.

 

He went 1-for-2.

 

Yeah, that last one wasn't a good one to lose.

 

In more obscure NASCAR news, former driver Candace Muzny (Number 16 on this probably mostly bogus list Ranking The 20 Most Stunning Women In NASCAR) was found dead in her home, a few weeks after being arrested for going bananas at a nail salon where Vietnamese was being spoken.

Since I had no idea who she was, Racing-Reference says she made two K&N Pro Late Model starts (and didn't qualify three other times), so "obscure" is probably a good description of her career as well. That's sort of close to getting a cup of coffee at short-season rookie league baseball level.

 

Fox sucks and should die.

 

Unless they veer into wives, girlfriends and the Victory Lane models, that must have been a difficult assignment to pull that list together.

 

Short of not racing there, what is the solution to avoiding pack racing and big wrecks at Talladega and Daytona while also keeping cars from flying into the stands?
Seems like they've tried a bunch of different things and nothing has really broken up those packs.
