NASCAR Rain shortened finishes bitch

[TheKinz]

How the race at Loudon ended was such BS. Some guy who roles the dice that the rain will finish the race stays on the track and wins. He had no business winning that race. I think they should amend the rule..If the race gets ruled finished with less than 30 laps (or something like that) they should continue around the track behind the pace car until checkered flag. this way cars that have been at the front should be rewarded not someone that the only reason wins is because he did not pit..Is this a crazy plan?

and BTW I do not wager on NASCAR this is just an observation..

The race was between Stewart, Busch and Gordon but all three pitted with about 50 laps to go.

That Home Depot car was middle of the pack all day.

Stewart had the lead and the fastest car before last pit. Stewarts pit had trouble with right front lugnut and his stop took about 2-3 seconds longer than everybody's else. Pitted first got past by 4-5 cars coming out. If race went distance he may have caught Gordon and Busch. We'll never know, but under normal circumstances Stewart wins the race.

home depot was worse than mid pack

Home Depot even spun out and got a flat and went a lap down. Bullshit winner. The New Hampshire Race was about as legit as the WWE. Pretty sad! They could have definitely raced longer. Race was stopped due to a very light dizzle. Busch was probably going to pass Gordon and Stewart would have probably past both. I would have liked to have seen it legit finish.

and if they had gone around the track 2-3 more times Logano would have run out of gas...Did you hear the crew tell him to shut down everything including fans etc etc..just a bullshit win..How could he honestly be happy with that being your first win. Let's hope Daytona proves to be a race where we see a car cross the finish line with a checkered flag.

Wild irony that climate change is raining out Nascar this 'summer'. I follow Nascar too , but it is strange and morbid that this CO2 oil sucking sport breathes the vapors of its own destruction. Goodyear and Nascar resist changes that might encompass rain tires. They say rain racing shortchanges the price of admission. What a laugh. The reason it is raining so much is because C02 energy has been released muchly from autos, and muchly from unsustainable air conditioned conforts. Nascar is a great hick throwback corporate show of slicks running in circles, but it symbolizes hick oil-powered corporate profit stupidity and arrogance. I'm investing in left turn windshield wipers.
