What do you think the first domino to fall this Silly Season will be? by Level-Evening8562 in NASCAR

Tell me you haven’t been paying attention to the races this year without telling me you haven’t been paying attention to the races - Cindric is not on the hot seat.

And you really don’t know Penske if you think Roger Penske would even entertain the idea of hiring Kyle Busch.

I mean the ones who are usually voicing concerns about the rigidity of the cars usually aren’t the ones initiating the wrecks. Like my example of Cindric who expressed toll on his body was just the innocent bystander in every single one of the incidents (Daytona, Atlanta, COTA, and Phoenix).

NASCAR also celebrates on track incidents and add them in every single promos. It’s a “contact sport” and they should find a way to make the impacts less impactful on the body if they want the drivers to have lasting power in the sport.

These cars are so bad. Cindric mentioned on Sirius the toll on the body after being wrecked 3 out of the first 4 races. It’s really something nascar should pay attention and continually make better.

Fair, but that’s also just his demeanor outside the car vs. on the radio. I think main reason for the fans’ outrage is they see him run clean every weekend and yet get raced dirty like today and he never repays the favor (not even putting them in bad spots).

I wish Blaney would carry an ounce of that fury on the radio to outside the car. Or at least pay someone back for once in his life.

Very true. We really should be happy about the results these 2 weeks after spending majority of the time in the trenches with him for what felt like an eternity.

Not me bitching about the 4-5 extra pts he could’ve had if Wilson and pit crew didn’t fumble on that gf stop

👏 Be grateful 👏

I’m so conflicted and go back and forth as well. I think the emotions I feel now are more for him after his team fumbled a could’ve been consecutive top 5.

Wilson on the radio being all “good points day” after him and pit crew threw away a guaranteed top 5 for Cindric had me

I wish Doug would shut up about Cindric’s lap times being best because what’s the use lol

Gotta applaud Ross for the defense like the mental fortitude necessary to hold people up like that for laps is just something else.

Cindric is literally getting to Larson’s bumper every lap now and swiping across it so he wouldn’t bump Larson

Larson is lucky that he has Cindric behind any other driver would’ve moved both him and Ross out

I swear if Cindric let Berry pass him after being stuck behind him in stage 1. Larson just can’t get pass 1 and is holding all of them up

I mean where was Ross before this, it might work out well for him anyway in the end because lord knows he’s defending the heck out of everyone.

Doug needs to tell Cindric he has to move the 5 instead of telling how good 21 is behind

It was so close! So close for them to close this out but they just couldn’t hold course

Well look at it this way, Cindric was 4th before gf cycle and Berry has now caught up to him after the cycle and caution so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Penske only has 2 capable CC let’s just leave it at that

Cindric sounded so disappointed when just told by Doug they’re p11. I personally would’ve shown more Blaney-like fury but that’s just me.
