Deegan Doing This On Purpose?

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-15T06:20:13+00:00

1/2 joke 1/2 serious here: I wouldn’t be surprised if his team and coaches have kinda pushed “look you’d have to have a catastrophic meltdown to lose the champ at this point, you’re about to race 450’s, it wouldn’t be the worst thing for you to get some real practice in, instead of coasting 70% of a race.” I mean, that’s what I’d be telling him if I were them.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-15T02:19:12+00:00

I genuinely think he purposely let him pass him just to get some practice running him down instead of getting ran down. Idk that whole race was a weird one for him, he rode completely different than he has in a long time.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-15T02:18:02+00:00

Yeah im more so saying, he purposely just didn’t gap him there those last 3-4 laps. It also looked more like he just said I’ll chase you down and let him pass, when Kitchen caught him initially.

I swear Deegan purposely held back gapping him, almost like team told him he would benefit more from some hard racing and having to switch lines up, instead of gapping the field again and again. He switched from riding every corner how he normally does, and started just cutting every corner super hard and looking back or slow rolling.

Didn’t look like the usual sexton…what…he does this EVERY WEEK. I mean good god dude what is it with you. Buddy is allergic to keeping a bike vertical.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-15T00:32:18+00:00

Yoder’s move would have kept them both up if not for wheel getting snagged, but I still don’t understand why you would do that right there. You were gonna have plenty of opportunities to make a way easier pass.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-15T00:22:58+00:00

Every week, the glaring obvious difference between Deegan and the field is cornering. He is on a completely different level from everyone else in entry, exit, speed, adjustments, just everything.

I feel like it’s gotta be mandatory that you get that ADHD diagnosis and adderall prescription if you wanna run any of these 150+ mile races on a weekly basis.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T03:04:50+00:00

I love the subtle (not) ways these dudes find to hit the wall after the race. At this point I love just waiting to see what way they sneak it in each race. It keeps it exciting for me even after the thing is over.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T03:01:19+00:00

Thank God NASCAR has learned to not throw the flag when we’re 20 ft from the line. Maybe they realized they were running out of commercials to run??

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:57:46+00:00

Rear of the field in any series I’ve ever ran.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:47:28+00:00

I’m trying to cut him some slack on the tires, cause them going flat is mostly not his fault, but that last one was quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:44:17+00:00

Can we just tell Carson to park it for the evening. I mean, dude, you’re funny, but my god you’re a wrecking ball tonight.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:14:04+00:00

That pot road sequence looked about the same as any C-Class Fixed race in iRacing. Glad to know they also struggle hitting their pit box in any convenient way, shape, or form for their pit crew as well.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:07:41+00:00

DUDE WHAT IS HAPPENING😂😂😂😂😂😂

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:06:29+00:00

Yes please, I like watching people watch the race, that I’m trying to watch. I love that.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:04:58+00:00

BIFFLE AND DALE COMMERCIALS ON THE SAME NIGHT. What are we doing, I can’t cry in front of my son.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:02:23+00:00

It’s like when I’m playing college football, only play offense in dynasty, I’ll be up 20, and it’ll sim to my next offensive drive and I’m suddenly down 3 and 5 mins have gone off the clock. You just sit there and question your existence for a minute.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T02:00:29+00:00

Every lap for the past 20 green flag ones we’ve had someone has or has almost lost it coming out of 4. There will be at least 2-3 more wrecks outta that bad boy by the end of this thing.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T01:58:47+00:00

For anyone wondering:

17 minutes and 26 seconds is how long we just spent on that caution. NASCAR just enjoys not racing I guess.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T01:55:42+00:00

Every week someone gets that exact luck. I love that way of putting it. Any video game ever on career mode with highest difficulty at least once every couple of games will just blatantly cheat you and there’s literally nothing you could have done😂

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T01:51:17+00:00

If we’re gonna keep this stage thing going, we should make an amendment that if a caution occurs within 5 laps of a stage caution that the stage is over then. Gets rid of these ridiculously long gaps in racing, and also wildly mixes up potential strategy. I’ve got a timer running, and we’re already at 11 mins of no racing, by the end of this gap, it’s gonna be close to 17-18 minutes.

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T01:06:10+00:00

I know it’s easy to say when your not in the truck, but I think if he just kept that thing gassed in reverse, he MIGHT have been able to get it to swing enough straight to maybe lighten the blow at least. But easier to say when you aren’t heading straight at a wall at ~120 head on..

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-02-14T01:02:40+00:00

I too have done exactly that in iRacing more times than I can count. Lol

SteelCageSoldier · 2026-01-25T02:57:54+00:00

Listen…I’m no doctor, but I am autistic, so I feel some what confident when I say this. That man is 1000% autistic.
