2019 NASCAR Season Thread

[Chewbaccer]

Some folks are just so blinded by their hatred of Johnson and Hendrick that they can't fully comprehend just how dominant they were from 2006-2010. 28 wins (15%), 81 top 5's (45%), 117 top 10's (65%), 11 DNF (6%).
For comparison:
Gordon- 9 wins, 75 top 5's, 109 top 10's, 18 DNF.
Stewart- 15 wins, 60 top 5's, 98 top 10's, 13 DNF.
Kyle Busch- 17 wins, 57 top 5's, 96 top 10's, 11 DNF.
Edwards- 14 wins, 56 top 5's, 95 top 10's, 14 DNF.
Kenseth- 8 wins, 50 top 5's, 90 top 10's, 10 DNF.
Hamlin- 16 wins, 61 top 5's, 94 top 10's, 11 DNF .
Harvick- 9 wins, 47 top 5's, 89 top 10's, 4 DNF.

Hate Johnson because he was dominant? I get that. Hate him because you think he is overrated? That's just ignorant.

Pretty crazy that Harvick only had 4 DNFs in a 5 year span.

Another nice finish by Bubba Wallace last night in Bristol coming across the finish line in 14th. The 43 team is slowly putting together some big Mo. It is about time!!

I think it is refreshing to see someone a fan of a driver that isnt one of the top stars.

Thanks Schmoopy

Should be a fun weekend coming-up in Darlington with all of the retro paint jobs.

Not sure since it’s politics related if this was the appropriate place for this or not but figured I’d try since it’s about NASCAR.

That was a cool race in Darlington with all of the retro paint jobs. I just wish the 43 car was running closer to the front more often on a consistent basis.

Wow, wonders never cease. My boy Bubba Wallace gets a podium finish at Indy coming home third. Unfreakinbelievable.

Congrats Retro!

Good to see the 43 up front. They have been through a lot since Linda died.

@Retroram52 Here's to hoping you get to experience something like this. I has season tickets to Martinsville for years and have always rooted for anyone named Earnhardt or Andretti. I took a lot of heat rooting for John Andretti and working for Ford throughout the 1990s, but being at this one race made it all worthwhile.

Supposedly Menards is staying on as a sponsor.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

good for Matty D.
That is a quality ride for a driver that isnt an up & comer.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Its about time my driver has a good run. Ryan got up to 3rd now running 5th

Here's to hoping his bad luck doesn't find him.

 

[jeffro151]

Having to keep up through twitter, but it appears as though there MAY be 5 running cars once this race finally sees the checkers.

Wow, no one on here anymore, NASCAR must be dead.

Good to see M.T win yesterday
