The 2022 running NASCAR, IMSA & other racing things thread

Drivers who crash when the track is dry, a car that's causing unexpected head injuries and Goodyear tires. What could possibly go wrong?

 

One race for Bubba. Which is one more than Gordon got years ago for intentionally wrecking Bowyer in retaliation.
Bubba also apologized, although I must have missed the part where he apologized to Larson for intentionally wrecking him and them assaulting him afterwards.

 

You didn't miss anything. Wallace made a point to apologize to everyone except Larson. Any chance that Larson's horrific racist remark some years back was also a factor in why Bubba first did what he did on the track and won't apologize in the aftermath?

 

I hope so.

 

NASCAR: We'll race in the rain next year!
EuroNASCAR: That's cute.

I have already nominated this for KFAN Minneapolis's annual Preposterous Statement Tournament.

 

Every driver out there should make it their mission to tear up as much JGR equipment as possible.
Jones should put Gibbs in the wall and then purposely put his own car in the wall just to make grandpappy have to pay the bill.

 

Ty Gibbs is going to find himself with very few friends in Cup, the way he's decided to race in Buschwide. He makes Kyle Busch almost seem genteel. (J.D. would have pulled Ty for a serious "you're not Jesus, but you're coming to him" talk long before it got to this point.)

Dumb asses, even with incredible talent, rarely succeed at the highest level. He's about to become the next Paul Menard with that attitude.

 

I've never been talented.
I've never been rich.
I've never been entitled.

I just don't get it.

Dude has everything in the world going for him. Just don't be a douche.

 

It’s a shame Brandon Jones didn’t clean his clock (pun intended). I hope Brandon Jones works with his future teammates at JRM (especially Sam Mayer) next week to make sure this kid doesn’t finish five laps. He makes Ross Chastain look like Mark Martin.

 

Gibbs is used to enabling his players (any number of them) and his drivers (Kyle Busch). This kid is just an extension of that. At least he’s not JD’s kid, so I feel a bit better about rooting against him.
