Truex is out, and it looks like Kyle Busch is as well. I heard that there was an incident between those two.

Edit... Kyle got a push and was able to get to the pits, but he's not in contention for the race.

 

[dishuser]

and the 48 takes out the 18

Congratz to Kurt Busch...!

Bad news for me again... "unplanned for" family event will prevent me from marshaling the race. I'll get the results posted as soon as I can, but it might be pretty late. I'll make the announcement now... the next two races after Bristol will be die-cast races, Darlington and Indy are two of the big races of the NASCAR calendar. Bristol is a big deal as well.

two in a row !!
cool beans

I missed today's race as was tree cutting the last few days
I did stop for a break and went to sports bar for a cold one and did catch that first wreck with Kyle B getting banged up !

Nice to see Kurt get a win.. he is a champ that guy

Congrats to crazed (and me) for the high score 115.

Podium change, dishuser moves back to 3rd. Posting the standings later.

 

[dara]

Next week is an off week, but as a reminder, Darlington Southern 500 is a die-cast race (Sept 2), then the Indy Brickyard 400 (die-cast) will end the regular season.

Congrats to crazed and dara for the high score 115 and the WIN...!

Again I ? Nascar Scoring...! Elliott did not Win a Stage or the Race and gets 50 points while Kurt Won the Race and only gets 46 Points...!

you must be forgetting about the stage points

 

[dara]

Winning races is still the goal, but the stages do make for a more exciting race... you get three races instead of just one long one. Besides points for the top ten, the winner of a stage gets a playoff point, which can help in moving on in the playoffs. For road courses, it seems that some teams would rather have better track position for the overall race, so they'll pit early and give up the points, but for the most part, the teams want to win stages as well as the overall race.

3 weeks ago at Bowling at the Glen...

I don't Understand Nascar's Thinking on Their Scoring...! Elliott Won the Race and Truex came in Second...!

Elliott Led More Laps than Truex and Truex gets 51 points while Elliott, who Won, got 50..?!?

And your point is?

Not attacking you, its just the way NASCAR is scoring, for this and last season. They stopped the led laps points with the "new" system.
