blksn8k2 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) No matter what people might think of Kurt Busch and him being a real dick at times I don't think anyone can deny his knowledge of the cars and what it takes to win. The guy is no dummy. Interesting to hear his take on the new inspection process and how that might help to "even the field" in Ford's favor. http://performance.ford.com/series/stock-car-racing/news/articles/stock-car-racing/2018/01/defending-daytona-500-champ-speaks.html edit: There was also a question related to running the Mustang next year....hmmmmm. Hadn't heard much about that yet? Edited January 25, 2018 by blksn8k2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Theres a rumor on r/NASCAR that theyre running one of the Shelby Mustangs next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksn8k2 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I can understand how those rumors got started considering how all the fake news pics of the GT500 show a Camaro/Camry like grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Kurt a dickhead? Aren't you confusing him with his brother? Kurt has had his moments. Lets not forget how his stint with Roush ended. Hes definitely chilled out since leaving Penske. Kyle is, was, and always will be an asshole.

blksn8k2 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Kurt a dickhead? Aren't you confusing him with his brother? Pretty sure they came from the same mold. Kurt's new woman must be having a positive effect on his level of dickheadedness. It must have been pretty interesting when he and Harvick ended up on the same team. Harvick can be brutal at times too. I recall an incident after Kurt had his ear reduction surgery where Harvick said Kurt was still mad at him. Something about Kurt "sitting over there with his ears pinned back". Edited January 25, 2018 by blksn8k2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play nice please-you know what he means-and I do believe it still will have a 9" ford rear! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why anyone gets worked up or excited about whether they're using stickers of a Fusion or a Mustang or something else when we all know it's only stickers at this point. I get the Ford vs Chevy et al engines and sponsorships but the actual vehicles are meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Ford vs Chevy et al engines and sponsorships but the actual vehicles are meaningless. No argument. But it is interesting how NASCAR furthers the dialogue that its a "Fusion" or a Camry. The best argument I can make about a NASCAR "stocker" is can you imagine any type of "stock" body flipping at 180, doing about 7 body rolls, and the driver gets out and walks to the ambulance..."for the mandatory trip to the care center" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real root cause is oval tracks and concrete walls. And 200+ mph. You can't possibly use a stock body safely under those conditions. With road racing you have lower speeds and runoff areas and tire walls. That's one reason IMSA is so much more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
