waaaaaaaahhhhhh jr does know the rules waaaaaaaahhhhhh. waaaaaaaahhhhhh kyle only passes by bumping waaaaaaaahhhhhh.

wasnt jrs fault waaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!

ps: as others said same thing happened last night and the driver got a 5 lap penalty yet jr doesnt. thats the reason i am pissed guy never does a thing wrong in nascar and most fans eyes. its complete bs to watch them bitch about others and let him off the hook when he does something like this. they blame blame everyone but jr.

Wow I find it hard for you to be 25 because you act like my 5 year old!

Grow the f up!

rain sux. i hate when the race ends this way. personally i'd like to see them keep rain tires on hand for cases like this. they could still postpone if they want to, but if the race is already started, then just switch tires. this was the daytona 500. not the daytona 300+.

do some research on rain tires with stock cars.

there's a reason that they never use them.

Well a PS edit after the fact to justify it huh.

Well consider this yesterday was different they weren't blocked from 3 lanes up the track and in to the grass!!!!

That is the difference -- Got what he deserved!

This has been brought up in the past but there's simply no rain tire that can handle a stock car going at those speeds. The lone exception is at road courses.

BTW, not really dissing Kenseth, cptx. I just don't like it when the marquee race of the season can't go the full distance. They REALLY should move the green flag up about an hour or two.

damn jack roush is a tool

"i always thought that we'd win a daytona 500, i just didn't think it'd be today. we'll just forget it rained"

wtf dude?

the only champion on your roster and you can't even muster up a "good job"?

there's also a reason that goodyear has engineers. to develop tires for different tracks and situations.

you don't think that they have had years to try?

it's physics, man.

adding grooves to the tire actually reduces the contact patch, resulting in less grip even on a bone dry track.

These same engineers can't even get a tire to hold out more than 10 laps on a DRY track!

if motogp can do it on 2 wheels, then i see no reason it can't be done on 4. btw. i'm an engineer. there's a solution for everything. some solutions just require more time and money.

comparing a couple thousand pound car to a motorcycle??you cant exactly lean into the turn in a CoT..

[Kettle]

laugh all you want. if nascar wants to keep things interesting, they'll put the effort that they put into the COT into finishing races regardless of conditions. motogp isn't the only series that has gone out in the rain either.
