Loose lug nut on Kyle's car at the end of the race.

They mentioned it right after the race. It was only one, so it'll be a fine only apparently.

*from ESPN:

Loose nut

NASCAR found a loose lug nut on the 18 and Stevens could be fined $10,000. He does not face a suspension.

 

[YankeeVol]

Busch had Toyota's first Cup win in March 2008 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

He has 35 of the 100 victories for Toyota.

Without Target it might be hard for Chip to keep Larson in the future.

So SHR isn't bringing back Kurt Busch next year.

3 car team?

 

[YankeeVol]

So SHR isn't bringing back Kurt Busch next year.

That's surprising

 

[doozer]

They're not picking up his option, so it could mean he has to negotiate a new deal.

NASCAR will prohibit drivers who earn points in the NASCAR Cup Series to compete in the 2018 regular-season finale and the playoff races in the Xfinity and truck series as well as the four Xfinity Dash 4 Cash events. Full-time Cup drivers with more than five years experience in Cup will be allowed to compete in a maximum of seven Xfinity races and five truck races.

I'm happy with that.

I don't I've watched an event in either series since they quit running Nashville a few years ago.

 

[YankeeVol]

Only 10 more wins 'til Kyle is done in Xfinity.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Thank god.

 

[YankeeVol]

Thank god.

It's not as if the attendance or watching will go up.

Keslowski runs what seems like just as many.

Xfinity used to be for the up and comers. Now it's just a tuneup for the cup regulars.

They're trying to make it that way again it seems, which is good.

Well, formula 2 and Indy lights don't feature Formula 1 and Indy car drivers and they do just fine. If NASCAR can't sustain its feeder series without having cup drivers poaching wins, then that's on NASCAR.


I just don't like Kyle. That's a big factor.

Is that why Mark Martin was the all time win leader before Kyle Busch?

Nobody watches either F2 or Indy Lights that isn't already at the track.

No one really watches indycar or formula 1 in the USA for the most part.

Well he probably doesn't like you either

 

[YankeeVol]

Keslowski got a dumb penalty

 

[Burhead]

Sometimes its just your season. Also I think Truex takes the regular season "championship" and adds those 15 playoff points to his already series leading 34 points.
