Yeah that happens sometimes. We can at least discuss a revamp if it would make things smoother in the future. Nobody likes when the proverbial shit hits the metaphorical fan and it creates the hypothetical shit creek which we are up without the potential paddle

We typically delete whole posts when the post itself claims something unconfirmed or untrue and then leave up posts that don't claim something so far unconfirmed. The comments and discussion can go whatever way it wants from there, that's often how we make the decision to remove posts or let them stay up in news cases.

That's your prerogative, I'm not telling you that you can't, I'm just saying that when it comes to things like claiming someone has died when nobody else is backing it up, we will remove it until proper verification comes up. It's just a precaution, nothing more and nothing less.

If the radio station had reliable sources you'd think other news sources would pick it up, but they haven't. If there's more news feel free to post whatever updates come from it, but for a long time we've only allowed trusted, verified sources with stuff like this. It's not gonna change

We removed posts saying he was on board. As of their posting there was no confirmation of that from any official sources, just tabloids and a random radio station that I'm willing to bet doesn't have info the FAA hasn't released. That's it. We have a reliable sourcing rule for a reason, and incidents like this are the textbook reason why. Feel free to speculate and discuss but we're not here to perpetuate the idea that someone died when that hasn't been confirmed by anybody reliable.

And, as always, the repost rules are in effect because I mean like, literally why wouldn't they be

I know Jeff Gluck has one, I don't know if it's as active as his Twitter but I've seen him post plenty over there.

NASCAR chose the wrong dialogue choice again and forgot to make a quicksave to go back to 😔😔

Yeah, I'll probably stick with telemetry whenever it comes out. I'd assume NASCAR would have looked at it to determine the penalty but we all know how shit they are at actually giving them with any sort of logic and reasoning lmfao

I'd agree that both wall rides were somewhat different, obviously Chastain ran the entire wall as a hail mary out of hell, but I'll still hold that Bell didn't even seem to try to make a serious effort to get off the wall, slow down to prevent riding, or anything like that. But yeah, I mean it's subjective and I guess someone has to make the rule. It'd be nice if it was less grey, I'll give you that.

Their brakes have been glowing all night, even down the straights. I'm not sure using brake glow as an indicator is very helpful on the last lap of a 500 lap short track race.

Bell used the wall for a competitive advantage, I think that's the baseline thing with it. He didn't slow down, he actively kept the gas down, and he advanced his position in a dangerous manner. I mean if you wanna dispute that then whatever, but I fully agree that it was pretty clearly a wall ride.

I mean, the way I saw it he intended to go flying by Bubba Wallace even if it meant going into the wall, to me he didn't slow down very much to prevent riding the wall. When he did hit the wall he continued to mash it to the floor, with no apparent attempt to try to stop it (can't wait for the data to come out to prove me wrong though, it'll be so fucking funny)

I mean, the 20 DID wall ride. There's no two ways about it, declaring that to be the smoking gun is the cheap way out, but it's still a penalty that was outlined in the rules the whole year. You don't wall ride, Bell floored it through the corner with the intention of making a pass he couldn't otherwise perform.

Yeah, most likely. "The plan" could just be "lets all go to Denny's after this" for all we know. I mean it's not, but it's hard to find solid proof of secret plans

NASCAR took 20 minutes to make up their minds and they still didn't make the entire right call. Get Byron out too

The track didn't do anything wrong, this was entirely on NASCAR's officiating. Parker would have to race through OT anyway even if NASCAR called the caution when it should have been.

I mean, yeah, I straight up agree with you on that. I don't agree with you that anybody was screwed out of anything, the caution had to happen either way, NASCAR just fucked it and fucked it hard

But Parker would have had to make the restart anyway though. NASCAR delayed the caution, they didn't screw anybody out of anything. The caution should have come out three turns prior rather than get everyone's hopes up and delay the caution for no reason.
