This is what Nascar needs

DOVER, Del. -- Richard Childress Racing driver Kevin Harvick tried to show Denny Hamlin that you can move the tolerance of a Sprint Cup car with a bump from another.

Harvick rammed the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing car twice in the right rear quarterpanel, then sideswiped him during the first lap of Saturday's practice at Dover International Speedway.

It was an apparent retaliation for Hamlin's comment on Friday that Clint Bowyer's RCR team intentionally violated NASCAR's tolerances by 60/1000ths of an inch with its winning car at New Hampshire, a week after being warned at Richmond the car was close to violating rules.

Sorry but that si some funny stuff right there. It gets better read the whole article.

Another thing, NASCAR needs fans. That's what they need, the crowd at Dover looked like a truck race.

From the few races I tuned in this season, the entire schedule would benefit from fans.

I couldn't belive how few people were at the Brickyard 400 this year.

You're right about it looking like a truck race.

We owe it all to Brian France!

If NASCAR could create,or play up some driver feuds,it would probably add some excitement to what has otherwise become a boring event,in my opinion.

The way NASCAR is, they would hype a feud...let's say Harvick/Hamlin or RCR/Hamlin then one of the drivers would dump another then boom NASCAR will be looked at for a penalty.

Denny was only speaking the truth. It's things like that, among others, that makes me pull for Denny and Kyle.

They give a poo about being polite, just tell it like it is. And for that dipshit harvick to do that show what a pussy he is....that motherfuger damn near had his ass handed to him by carl edwards before his team jumped in. he's argued this year with joey, Kyle, Denny, and Montoya.....someone will get his ass before too much longer.

Besides Burton, the RCR cars are trash anyway. harvick has been in cup for 10 years and has 14 wins......whooo hoooo!!!! lol

They speak the truth? Oh ok. So Denny Hamlin all of a sudden hates cheaters. He didn't have a problem last year putting a magnet under his gas pedal to hide horsepower. Denny Hamlin and the entire Gibbs organization need a reality check, and they are getting one right now.

If more people knew about how good some truck races can be, they might have more fans. They don't have the big names, but every race I've seen has been entertaining. The Cup boys could learn a lesson by watching the trucks in action.

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
