These are the absolute best damn drivers on the planet. They're also the most aggressive drivers on the planet. Every single driver on that track wants to win and at Talladega, every single driver has the chance to win. If you want to see a race that doesn't have a "big one" go exchange the drivers for Sebastian Vettle and the F1 guys that can't pass each other and don't really care to anyway. <br /><br />This is NASCAR. This is the place where the drivers want to win and the sanctioning body lets them try.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999619934594591222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-26420281532617053382013-05-06T20:53:34.655-04:002013-05-06T20:53:34.655-04:00How many wrecks did we have when there were the ta...How many wrecks did we have when there were the tandem packs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-59370120863420809772013-05-06T20:13:13.359-04:002013-05-06T20:13:13.359-04:00Would somewhat disagree.

And that has made the cars a bit squirrely if tapped incorrectly from behind.<br />So I would propose that the rules may have played a part in the Kyle Bush crash.<br />But I will agree that rules can not prevent all crashes from happening.Robert G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-64673934750719726152013-05-06T17:54:10.296-04:002013-05-06T17:54:10.296-04:00Great racing by great drivers.

Congradulations to Front Row Racing for the 1-2 finish, and their first ever Sprint Cup win!

Every single one of them seemed to be in full and complete control of their cars, making split-second decisions about where to go, how hard to charge and when to take chances. Only when they make bad decisions and crash do we suddenly want NASCAR to legislate a slower, number car that will be easy to drive, thereby eliminating crashes.

Speed is relative. At any one time, all I can see is that the 18 is maybe faster than the 99 or the 24. And watching single file racing for countless hours hoping for a reck doesn't do it for me either. That being said, if NASCAR wants to give the fans a better racing experience at Daytona and Talladega, why don't they design a car with less power and aero dependency and more handling, putting the race back in the drivers hands, eliminating pack and tandem racing?

Period. This race produced the most amazing finish in years. Hopefully Daytona in July and Talladega in October will be as competitive start to finish as the Aarons 312 was; this Talladega certainly showed that same competitive potential.Monkeesfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522953722006761283noreply@blogger.com
