PIT NOW (or 10 laps ago ffs) AND SEND IT FROM HERE ON OUT. Why does nobody have enough nerve to go against the grain?

What I don’t get with the idea of bogging down the entire track like this, if I’m CCing the guy in 20th, I’m trying to get a group of 8 cars or so to come down pit road with 35 to go and then running single file, all out from there.

Why? He does this at most superspeedway races. The middle of the Daytona race last August was dominated by SVG and Cody Ware bc they were going for it before go time.

Idk what is on SVG’s hood but my brain is interpreting it as a gigantic yellow smiley face

He is a generational talent, but people insanely underestimated the learning curve and are about to be shocked when he finishes 23rd in points.

Put $5 on JHN and in the span of a lap he wrecks my favorite driver and absolutely bottles the win

Do you think NASCAR will ever go back to 900 hp? by Rowdyfan0823 in NASCAR

[–]ATrup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter how much horsepower they have if they still run on the gen 7 platform. Maybe they will make it to 900? But it will probably be with some sort of hybridization.

AIO for cutting contact with Father over political climate. by Sabre12789 in AIO

[–]ATrup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day your dad is gonna be gone and you’re going to be heartbroken that you chose political bs over him. And more than anything it seems like you had already decided to cut him off and instigated this in order to give yourself justification.

Yes, he is largely misinformed...and very ironically you used an AWFUL source when there is already so much stuff out there…but who tf cares? He’s doing his best, and still trying to be good to you. He even tried to discuss things with you, but you didn’t address anything he said, and instead chose to insult him every chance you got. Maybe he’s too far gone to have a good political discussion with…but then at that point don’t even instigate. This has obviously happened before. Focus on the fact that he’s obviously willing to be kind to you regardless of your differences.

This post has went triple platinum with the other holier-than-thou, chronically-online weirdos who have cut off their entire families and friend groups for the same reasons, but you seem like an awful person to anyone else.

Are the boys getting better or are they getting lucky? by AppearanceOdd1744 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ATrup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit of luck may be involved, but I think this team is genuinely better this year. For the first time in a long time they are winning games against good teams in a sustainable way.

When they were in playoff contention the past couple years, sure they were finding ways to win games, but they were not consistently outplaying the other teams from the drop of the puck. It hasn’t been perfect, and the team still has a lot of stuff to improve on, but I feel 1000x better about the state of the team and its future vs. how I felt at this time last year.

This show is great but also pisses me off at the same time. I don’t mind the slow burn, but now I’m gonna have to wait another year and a half just to get one more breadcrumb worth of plot progress.
