edit: just watched the wreck, and have to wonder why he wasn't lifting with all that was happening in front of him.... barrelling through didn't seem to be the right move at all..... had something broke in his car?

have we heard why he was still at seeming full speed when he plowed into lagoono and wannica?

Really nowhere for him to go, Donk. It looked like Aric tried to steer down away from it, just ran out of room. Crazy that Danica didn't get injured at all, she took a hell of a hit.

that little pointy head of hers seemed like it was going to be blazed with a wall of flames.... good safety equipment no doubt.....

my problem with teh 43 is I think he was coming through hot, like a lot of younger drivers seem to do these days, as if they may pic up a spot or two by barrelling through the mayhem when they can barely see what the hell is going on..... i've seen a lot of drivers refuse to life and wind up int he mess, even some experienced drivers.....

12 a day till then , so you should be good

**shaunovery** · 05-17-17, 05:29 AM

Coke 600

Nascar changing the rules to have 4 segments

100-200-300 laps and final segment 100 laps

Wish NASCAR would stop this crap , it basically cuts out any fuel mileage races

yeah I said same thing when I saw this a few days ago I said it makes 0 sense. Now the coke 600 is worth morenatogg points than any other race on the schedule! Why? Short tracks don't get less for less miles and laps than 500 miles do. Or even 400 milers. Makes them look terrible. Changing the rules 13 days before the race and in the middle of the season. Cautions in between these stages are rediculous as it is. We don't need even more of them and commercials in a 600 mile race. The main point is nobody changes a championship format mid season or a race format 13 days out

**shaunovery** · 05-17-17, 05:51 AM

I agree mike , charlotte has a tendency to have long runs with tire fall off not really a factor , so this boils down to a 100 lap race

Final stage resembles a longer version of the all star race

**Auto Donk** · 05-17-17, 05:53 AM

as for mid season changes, nascar better implement the "grandfathered into the Chase rule for all drivers whose father won seven cup championships" rule if the 88 is going to have any chance at makin' the Chase....

yeah him making the chase is about as likely as me winning my pre-season prop bet on him getting Over 1 win this year. A push at 1 would feel like a miracle at this point. Thought that was a good play then, and now well....Wish I could opt out at a 50% loss

**yisman** · 05-17-17, 01:57 PM

harvick
larson

sidebets have been a disaster all season. Only beat reigle and that was after he called them off.

**shaunovery** · 05-18-17, 03:59 AM

Not sure who I'm taking yet

**Hilljacademics** · 05-18-17, 05:41 AM

Regan Smith to drive the 43 starting this weekend. Unsure if he's the permanent sub for Almirola, but I'd guess this could last through Sonoma.

**5mike5** · 05-18-17, 06:14 AM

nothing exciting about that news. Lol

Larson and JJ were myplays in wed openers for $ bets. Not sure who ill be adding yet. Gonna be crapshoot for sure with this format

**shaunovery** · 05-20-17, 04:41 PM

Don't it will be a crapshoot

3 segments of 20 laps isn't long to get to the front , and as I understand it is the average running position of those 60 laps

Suppose only real change will be for the last pitstop

**shaunovery** · 05-20-17, 06:28 PM
