Restrictor Plate Racing?

Personally I HATE IT!!! The driver makes absolutely no difference during the race and if one guy happens to slip up during the middle of the race, then he takes out about 20-25 other guys who simply have nowhere to go. That's not racing but instead it's a sytem where NASCAR wants to keep all of the cars equal where they all have a legit shot to win the race. Even a car like Jeff Gordon had on Sunday, which was awsome, is not much better than a guy like Martin Truex Jr. (who races a limited schedule as of now).

 

I like the short tracks (Martinsville, Bristol, and Richmond) the best because those are places whih the car setup and the driver makes a huge difference. The guy who can get out front and work lapped traffic the best & kepp their nose clean while doing so are the best cars at short track racing. I am also a huge fan of road course racing. The drivers who can get through the gear box best heading into and coming off of those many winding corners are the ones who are best at those places (Sear's Point & Watkins Glen). Those five tracks above all of the others on the circuit are where the DRIVER makes the difference in the outcome of the race.

 

The question I have for you all is where will Little E win now that he is no longer the king of restrictor plate racing??? Jeff Gordon, love him or hate him, has won four out of the last five plate races and at Daytona on July 2 I expect that it will be five out of six.

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
