If you don’t want that wreck, don’t block the faster driver and just accept the 2nd or 3rd place. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 17:23 3
- If you don't like blocking, penalize it in the rules. -- nm - Max Feb 18, 00:48
- Meh. -- nm - David Feb 17, 17:24 1
  - It’s physics and why these type of races suck. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 17:27

What is really funny to me as someone that doesn't know shit about Nascar. Nascar drivers HATED Days of Thunder, because they said - Bacon Feb 17, 17:08 6
- I have been to one Nascar race in person. Sears Point in California. It's a road course and that was fun in person. - Bacon Feb 17, 17:11 5
  - See, a road course would actually be interesting. Watching cars run around in a circle, not so much. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 17:15 4
    - Yup. Left turns for four hours is not something I find entertaining. -- nm - Krusty Feb 17, 17:34
    - Bristol is hella fun. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 17:27
    - On a short track it’s great. -- nm - spamlet Feb 17, 17:27
    - Well in person the road course is harder to follow. You basically pick a spot and you see them come through and then leave your vision. - Bacon Feb 17, 17:17
You have to be partially crazy to drive. -- (edited) - Strongbad Feb 17, 17:05 5
- Yep, Newman was blocking the faster car. It’s his ‘fault’ and his decision to block. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 17:22
- He hit the guy's car *three* times. -- nm - David Feb 17, 17:05 3
  - He was faster as the draftee and Newman blocked him. - spamlet Feb 17, 17:13
  - Yeah. Happens... 5000 times a race? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 17:07
  - Only because the first two didn't wreck him. -- nm - The Dirty Driver Feb 17, 17:06
