Where did that crash come from then?

The Clash, a 75 lap exhibition race. No points and only the winner gets a cash prize. A lot of people are saying Nascar needs to get rid of it because of how much money it costs the teams. Sunday, 17 cars were involved in that wreck and, at $300,000 per car, that's over $5 million worth of wrecked race cars.

I've never even heard of that shit.

Been around for 40 years.

Damn both my guys had a shot today.  Ryan Blaney was mad fast at front and had a real chance to win in Atlanta today. That is until that last pit stop, a total train wreck, that completely took him out of it. I approve of the new car/rules package. So far. Only one race in.

Rory McIlroy came up short as well, with a good second, down in Mexico. DJ played great golf ,as usual, and won fairly easily.

Unreal.

I such a huge fan of hers bro, that a part of me wishes she wasn't so young and was already in the Cup Series. The rational side looks foward to many many great years of racing.

She hasn't been forced into conservation through an massive injuries yet.  Hopefully she lasts a while.

I honestly believe see will be the first female to win a Cup race, and hopefully much more. I'd rather see her in a Chevy than a Toyota but she's already committed to Gibbs.

As long as we don't celebrate fuel conservation wins as legitimate wins for her like we did Danica Patrick, I'm good.

Yeah everyone one's already started to compare her to Danica. I totally agree with Brian's post below, where he states the huge difference between the two. Danica came from Indy and Hailie comes from dirt track racing. Dirt track racers notoriously make good Cup racers.
