No room for plates in the Chase


 Man, what a messed-up race. Between JJ and Newman the chase just got boring after 2 races. What da puk? Doesn't seem right to put a plate race in the chase to me. I hope they change Dega to an eariler date, maybe the last race before the chase. That should slow the wrecks eh? huh?lol  At least drivers wouldn't be penalized for the sure to happen boneheaded moves that can't really be helped! Down with plates period I say. If they're scared to drive fast they can stay on the porch.    ...again, just my thoughts.


 


I think every car I had wrecked! Hee-Haw that was fun!

I was crying since I was the last chase team to finish at Talladega.... 31st.


However, I wasn't as bad as you, dead last with -20 points.  Just thought I'd let you know.

That's not a bad idea to get rid of the plates for the chase. I really would like to see Daytona be the race that starts and end the season but that's just me. Too many things go wrong and it doesn't matter where you are unless its up front.

RE: No room for plates in the Chase


Well I know that NASCAR wants to run a certain percentage of each type of race in the chase. Running plate races, finishing and winning them is part of what makes a driver a champion. I should kick myself for saying this, but look at all the plate races that Jeff Gordon has won.


4 plate races are run during the year. One should be run during the chase.


I would like to see a road race in the chase. Of course with the ringers running it, it could be a problem.


Right now I think they have a good mixture of tracks in the chase.

Yeah Right


 Hey, lets throw a figure 8 race in there too!! Come on guys, lets talk percentages. 4 out of 36 races is PLATE, 2 out of 36 races is road. 6 out of 36 is still a small percentage. Buy a vowel my brothers PLEASE!! Ovals are NA$CAR. Short, medium, Super Speeedway(1.5 miles) is the norm! I know you guys know this, work with me. Plate races sux the big one. Doesn't matter who was fastest, best driver or pit stratagy was. I strongly disagree with Lou saying Champions win the plates. Check the record. Rarely do plate winners win the "whoever is payng the most this year Cup". Fans should boycott these races. They were suppost to be safer! HUH??? Exactly......another "just my thoughts" from SDR.


(Won't that guy ever shutup?)

RE: No room for plates in the Chase


Check your facts, plate races and short track races are the 2 most popular types of racing. Just because YOU don't like plate races, doesn't mean that everyone feels that way.


Drivers hate the plate races, and fans love them. Because it's the fans that keep the sport going, plate races are not going anywhere, so just get used to them.


Gee, you disagree with me again, what a shock.  I'll let you get back to watching your Braves get their butts spanked.   Or do you disagree with that too?

Ok whatever


Just cause you run this group doesn't make you right lou, no offence. And as far as the Braves I won't expect anything but the standard "Sour grapes" from a Mets fan whose team is so sorry they will never make the plauoffs in my lifetime! BWHAAAAAAAAA!!! Set at home and watch the play-offs as usual, or are you the standard New Yorker and switch to the Yanks this time of year. Braves may choke...but whats thhat say about the Mets??

What's that say about the Mets?


The fact that they finished with a winning season. The fact that they have 2 World Series Titles while the Braves will only have one in my lifetime.


And sorry, the Mets have already made the playoffs in your lifetime. At least when they do make the playoffs, they make something of it. Last time they went to the World Series.


Sorry Braves Fans, yeah another division championship, another choke in the playoffs.... ho-hum.... next.


Good thing they make those tomahawks out of sponge. They can soak up your tears as you see them choke yet again.


Yeah, Mets may be out of the playoffs, but the Braves will be joining them very soon.


And no, I'm rooting for the Yankes to lose, I hate them right under the Braves.

Mets&plates


Yes another year where we choke again. Already down 0-1 and with Roger on the mound in game 2 it doesn't look good. I rather have a chance in the playoffs then be sitting home like the Mets,Dodgers,Orioles. 3 teams with good size payrolls or teams willing to spend that are sitting home. Not like, the Royals or Devil Rays which never have a chance. This was our year to rebuild and poof another divison title. Its the Cardinals year anyway and only Houston has a chance to beat em. Can you believe bosox down 2-0 with Bill Buckner playing second base last night?


I would like to see a road race,darlington,bristol, and Daytona in the mix for the chase.

RE: No room for plates in the Chase


cookie cutters may be the norm now, but short tracks were all the rage once upon a time.


why are the cookie cutters popular? seating capacity.  That is why I think more superspeedways will be built in the next ten years. two tracks will equal four races the way its been going and therefore equal out the ratios.


still need one more road course though.

Another road course...? Think they will go to Mexico? Big hype of the chase along with the popularity of running in Mexico? Hmm
