The ‘24-‘25 boredom thread..
Mickstix:
Redskins smoked the Browns. 34-13, was over at halftime. JD5 with another outstanding performance. Boys appear legit! Next week is a big test. Baltimore.
Hamlin plays chicken little again this week in Talladega.. -17 points to the cutoff and running like 28th or something (20+ seconds off the lead pack) coming to 4 to go, when the big one happens. Finishes 10th, +30 going into the go-kart track elimination race next week! :raspberry:

I watched Degga today, mostly for the inevitable wreck. The 4 wide was interesting. Not sure what Hamlins problem is. I can understand the hang back strategy at a couple of these tracks, but this dumb assed stage racing and points doesn’t allow that old school shit anymore. Dude got lucky as hell today.
I was also thinking, before the wreck, that this two wide plate racing is stupid. If there was no wreck the winner was going to be one of the front four because no one could pass.
Mickstix:
I don't even like plate racing anymore. The cars are all the same speed and never give up any handling. 3-4 wide and there's nothing to do but ride around until you get desperate, then ram into someone trying to make something happen. It's all a track position game played with fuel milage, then pray you don't get hit too hard by a push or caught up in someone elses mess.
I'll take the old 2-3 wide 10 deep all day over this crap. Back in the day cars gave up, you could lose the draft, you had room to pull out and try to pass. Saving fuel was a rarity unless there was a timely yellow near the end, where you could stretch it and possibly steal one.
I dunno how Denny got back to 20+ seconds behind. Our coverage cut out for Hurricane Milton update. He must of had an issue on pit road? But he played the chicken little game from lap 4 or 5 when he tried a move that didn't work and fell to the back. Very lucky to still be in contention going into Charlotte (cough) roval (cough) ghey (sneeze) (cough). lol
