It's the Russian word for square.

 

Which is what anyone who misses the Xfinity race tonight will be.

Why are people randomly stopping on the backstraight? Is this iRacing?

I tried to watch it.  At first, I thought they were behind the safety car.  Then I realize the cars are just darned slow.  Decided to watch Mid-Ohio Indycar qualifying on the DVR instead.

So many crashes in WRC Rally Finland, onion rings at DTM, dodgey spins at Indycar and now Fuelopocalypse at Pocono.

 

Yes, it's been a nice Sunday.

Seems that NOBODY expected 30+ green laps at the end, after all the chaos and shambles before.

 

Epic finish. :clap: :clap:

Why the Kyle hate (or is that bad sarcasm)? He was on the verge on 4 straight. JGR is killing it in this second half. Toyota said they had an upgrade coming on the engine, they werent kidding.

After watching a bit of Nascar this weekend,I have accumulated a question.

How is it possible that the guy who missed 11 races has the most wins?He missed more than half.

Yes, Kyle Busch was injured, but I think that time off recovering has refreshed him. It's also coincided with JGR being better than the other teams at understanding the new aero package that was introduced mid-season.

It helps that Kyle is good for one. It's no shocker that he wins multiple races in a season. I think he was due for a big year anyway because at the start of the year, they took HP away from the cars amongst other changes that are somewhat similar to the lower tier Xfinity series. He undoubtedly has a feel for those types of cars so I figured he'd do well with the new Cup package but we didn't get to see it since he got hurt before the first Cup race.

 

The other big factor is his return just so happens to coincide with Toyota making some engineering changes to their cars, mostly engine related. Toyotas across the board were down for the first part of the season and they've put in a lot of hours trying to catch back up. And if you've noticed, its worked. Not only is it just Kyle winning races, but all the JGR teams are running well as well as the MWR cars (Bowyer and Ragan).
