All Purpose NASCAR Thread

I have a question for those in the know: Could Pruett's move be seen as a block? It's legal in NASCAR (which doesn't do anything for my point), but am I not correct in believing that blocking is not allowed in the other major series?

 

Actually, Pruett was running what seemed to be the "normal" line thru the corner. Start outside down the super stretch, carve down to clip the curbing in one to set up the entry to two. The only way to pass in that corner is to do exactly what JPM did ("take" the inside line). However, he needed to have a LOT more of his car "under" (beside) Pruett, further up the track, to be considered having control of that inside line. So....no. IMO, Pruett was not blocking.

Again, JPM pulled the textbook pass in that corner, numerous times in the race. He should have given Pruett the corner.....and tried again later.

 

Thanks.

 

Made the same move on Biffle a few laps earlier, but Biffle wasn't in as deep as Pruett, so they just banged off each other.

 

Uh, Moddy, it was the Busch Series. No one cares Who Beat.

Except maybe JPM, Pruett and Sportschick. For wildly different reasons.

 

So who kicks Montoya's ass after Bristol?

Stewart?
Gordon?
Kurt Busch?

He's lucky Jimmy Spencer wasn't in that race yesterday.

 

"You mess with the bull, you get the horn."

 

One of my favorite moments from Bristol came after the spring race four or five years back. Robby Gordon wrecks Junior on pit road, and his spotter/crew chief comes on the radio and asked, "Robby, why'd you tear his shit up?" -- back in the days when scanners were put on air hot. Almost as funny as Todd Parrott's MF bomb on live TV.

 

Oh, please. You, I and the ghost of Fireball Roberts all know that if Jimmy Spencer was in that race, the only time he'd have seen the leaders was when they repeatedly lapped him.

Seriously disappointed that nobody's talking about the Washington state legislator who thought he was making a funny with his remark about Richard Petty last week.

 

Spencer would find a way to kick Montoya's ass for no reason, 2MCM.
