God love ya Herm! I nearly piss myself every time you release a video and you tell it like it is. We appreciate your fresh approach and don't ever change brother.
Thanks Kenny. I knew about the tape and that it was used under the wrap somehow, but not how and why. Best explanation and demonstration on the internet. My question, which we will probably never know, is how many other cars that were not inspected this in depth had this same modification? My guess is these were not the only two cars out there like this.
All the JGR & 23x Toyotas were the same. I guaranty it but nascar didn't inspect the others #20, 19 ,23 & 45. JGR knew what they were doing. Should have points removed & a fine just like RFK had done to them.
Common sense question. If they de/unwrapped every car in the field and inspected them all with this level of scrutiny, the post race tech process would last 2-3 days and cost tens of thousands of dollars for both sides of the equation. All forms of motorsports only techs the top 2-3 finishers (the ones that count) and nascar even pulls an additional “random” target. So, every risks a possibility of tech.
Kenny, That is a perfect way to explain this. I love these videos and how you connect with us common folk that just love racing but don't ever get into the "nuts and bolts" of it. Thank you!
I doubt it. They would find a few more, but they need to come up with a better way of doing the post-race tear downs that are all the same and efficient so you know who won before you leave the track.
NASCAR is taking itself entirely too seriously these days. They're pushing their own agenda so hard that they've forgotten that it's the fans who make the sport.
nascrap don't recognize the fan side, actually, pick of any major sport. As long as sponsors* pay up, as long as there is a tv or cable broadcast, owners dont care. Owners don't car about butts in the seats! I have been to dozens of races. it is a blast, but owners (not team owners, the Nascrap industry) ruined it for me. *they attempt to profits from fan, not the sport. I don't fully agree with Kenny. everybody cheats, but when you get caught, you pay up. Bill Elliot knows all about getting caught. However, I lost respect of governing body long ago..I'm All for safety, not for created drama
I walked away being a fan from the sport oh what about 7 years ago plus...When nascar started the points change and monitoring drivers comments. And I was 100% done with the Bubba lie. Thanks for the channel Kenny.
Herm is the best guy in nascar!! He keeps it real and everything he says is 💯 true!! Don’t EVER change herm you are the man! Thanks for the content bud
Man Kenny ...dude we seriously miss you on race day broadcast ...GREAT illustration by the way ....Nobody does it better than you ...Great job Splaining things :)
Good explanation that explanation that was perfect that is what I needed to hear on the radio they don't get to the actual point like you did you're awesome Kenny I watch your shows every time they post can't wait for the next one
It’s a crazy thing tbh. This year a lot had been exposed and I love it. All star race , this new car not being safe , this new car built for road racing so we know what nascar is doing and the “rules” tires falling off clear tape. So on how the best driver doesn’t have a ride over money I love it. My dad is 78. He said nascar used to be real racing now it’s all about money and man is he right...
The sponsors and manufacturers who pay MILLIONS to make these cars and teams run are absolutely right to say "we want this" and have the sport listen to them. I don't see anything nefarious or shady in that at all. Last time I checked cheating was cheating, and it's not like they didn't know the consequences of doing it and getting caught. Zero sympathy.
We all know that a piece of tape on the nose of a racecar can add 10 to 15 lbs of aero weight and have a significant impact on the handling of the car. Everyone was told NASCAR would have zero tolerance in regards to unapproved modifications to these cars. This was an unapproved modification, plain and simple.
@@markwalmsley5892 as long as the racing is good then I'm fine. They can't keep using tech that's 60 years old...the manufacturers aren't going to support archaic tech as they try to sell modern cars.

Yeah, it may have helped a tad but i mean to me, that should be a grey area like they used to have, i mean what does nascar think they should do, just by the car and just go race as is, I wish nascar would lighten up a little, i did give a tiny advantage but it was a pretty smart idea, other teams would have figured it out eventually, every team prob had something "illegal" just didn't finish in the top 3 or 5 to get the tear down
It wasn’t ment to block the vent. He cheated. That all there is to it. I like Kenny but he is wrong. If they took the time to do it then it must of made a difference. If it didn’t make a difference then why did they do it in the first place. Think about it.
Great job Kenny! Think you're taking over where Dale Sr. might have gone if he was still with us. Though I doubt he would have let NASCAR get this ridiculous. Tell it like it is. I'm going to start subscribing to your channel since this cast.
The “Post Race Inspection Show” is the greatest idea I’ve heard all week! NASCAR could totally sell it and get tons of sponsor money for it. I actually think a pharmaceutical company that markets products like Advil, Tylenol, or Aleve would be a great fit, because you know it’s gonna be a headache if it does not pass on live TV. For the sake of the sport, “Goody’s” would be a perfect fit, just don’t know if they would want to sponsor something like that all year long. Get a really good host for the segment too, they could get a cool name like “The Executioner” or something. How about you Kenny? “Herminator the Terminator” you’d be great at this, think of the show! Pass inspection, you put the winner sticker with a “Goody’s Seal of Approval Logo on it” don’t pass, the person who thought they won, you hand them pack of goody’s powder for the trip back to concord! Great video buddy, I loved it!
Darrell Waltrip an admitted cheater said, (hinting) at Nascar own destruction. "we are getting to far away" from what Nascar was. And what was he alluding to? From actual RACING. TOO FAR FROM REAL. What does racing someone mean? [intransitive, transitive] to compete against somebody/something to see who can go faster or the fastest, do something first, etc.; to take part in a race or races. They raced to a thrilling victory in the relay. She'll be racing for the senior team next year. It was never real or fair once they made it too Nascar.... but now its not even believable or near real racing. ITs WWE with cars. ITs a show. Tune in Next week.
This reminds me of the story about why (maybe) Carl Edwards drug up from NASCAR when they threw that yellow flag at the end of the race for debris nobody could see thereby costing him the race AND the championship. Anyway the same guy who told us about that is also drawing parallels to the latest NASCAR made hoax. KENNY WALLACE I LOVE HOW YOUR MIND THINKS and your unique point of views!!! You've been right about everything, that I can tell. Keep it up!!!! You have some great angles...
I've never gotten over what happened to Carl Edwards!!! He was a legendary driver and Nascar just blew him off!!! I'm glad he took his $59÷ million and walked off into the sunset. Done. Finito!! Adios suckers! I sure do miss him, though.
I so wish they would bring back the NASCAR of old! I was at the race in Charlotte when Richard Petty passed Darrell Waltrip like he was standing still on the closing laps. I was sitting in chicken bone alley in the Chrysler stand.
Loved the tape on the nose example 😆 Great way to show what they did and your solutions sound perfect. I'm in my late forties and have fallen in love with Nascar only this year. I can't get enough. I've subbed your channel. Sending a thank you and a big Gday from Country Victoria Australia mate 👍
Kenny, you’re the best. If you haven’t looked yet, this video has twice the views of any Pocono related video on the official NASCAR channel. The cream always rises to the top.
When races are decided by thousands of a second looking for an advantage is always going to happen. With these new kit cars they made it clear. There are no more grey areas and any modifications to the parts will be dealt with severely and in this case they got lucky it was something they added and not modifying a part. Message sent they won't accept either one anymore.
Thanks herm that was the best explanation of what they did with the tape. I was still confused until I watched this video. That means you just gained a new subscriber
I appreciate your explanation of the issue and yes, it does seem very ticky tacky. If it was ANY other driver I could be sympathetic but Denny went on his cry baby rant after the all star race about rules being rules and NASCAR needing to start enforcing them more strictly. So I say there you go Denny, happy now?????? NASCAR had become a joke long before this issue. If they want a spec series then supply the cars and have spec series.
NASCARs Golden Age ended in a transition from 2004 to 2008. Two things greatly contributed to that. The Chase and the COT. The points system caused a riff with drivers and fans and media alike as to who was Mickey and who wasn't in winning the title. A debate we still all have today questioning the credibility of a champion since 2004. In 2007 to 2008 with the implementation of the God awful COT combined with the national recession it was too much for NASCAR to overcome. And 2008 was the year we all knew for certain the Golden Age of NASCAR was over. Ironically even INDY was like "ight imma head out now" and that race hasn't been the same since. Sorry for you new NASCAR fans but you missed the Golden Age. It's over. And yes it was unbelievable. Now you stuck with this.
You earned my subscription tonight. Tape gate. LOL. I had a $10 bet on on Denny. From watching the end at work here in Australia to getting home . I had gone from winner now $85 to looser $0.00 . What a joke Nascar.
herman....you crack me up !!! Great idea on the post race inspection show. And watching Hamlins' little girl was the absolute best part of the race, bless her!
Thanks Kenny. All the things to get a car ready all the things that can go bad in a race then to drive it to the finish line. Then someone who probably doesn't know how to drive in a race of professionals says tape kept the car down on the track 3 hours later absolutely crazy.
Kenny is showing a 1 mill piece of tape. The "tape" Hamlin and Busch used was 12 times as thick. They knew what they were doing, and it gave them an advantage. That's why the finished 1,2.
I know nothing about wraps but it seems that one could create some advantage by using darker colors over aerodynamically sensitive areas of the nose such that the thermal expansion of the wrap would expand and make the airflow more efficient.
I find it hard to believe that the wrap material in the hot sun and with the air pressure against the front of the car at speed that the wrap wasn’t pressed against the body. Put it in the wind tunnel and prove me wrong .
The tape… even while small, probably helps with drag in some way. Might shave a few points off in the one hundredths of a second. Not much but add them together and suddenly you’ve got some breakaways.
Amen Herm! 100% agreed. NASCAR is just shooting themselves in the foot with this crap... We already have the absolutely ridiculous points system that basically makes all of the regular season useless, the manufacturered cautions/interruptions called stages in the middle of the races and now this crap is coming back.... They going to pull a Ricky Rudd at Sonoma kind of thing before long too?
I sure hope you're right and they implement this system after race is over. It's freaking ridiculous. Anyone can find anything wrong given the time to look for it.
How can NASCAR award the win to a car that didn't get a post-race teardown like the #11 & #18 went through...wtf? NASCAR should've just fined them and took points...imolol PS...lol I miss Speed TV!
Kenny ..great a what you do. Thanks for sharing your comedic way of looking at things.You are wright they will listen to u . Your a one favorite spokesperson for all of racing in general.its your fun loving spirit of the sport. I like your style and realism. Alot of nascar's people are just robots of professional . Anyway stay with us you da man.You are the one who belongs in the announcers booth.thanks Kenny.
That was a great demonstration of how that tape was used, you've got one hell of a profile there, Herman! 🤣 Btw, how's your brother Mike doin'? I hope he's all healed up from his assault, that was pretty horrific, man. Love your humor, bud, always keeping it real! See you at the track, Herminator!🏁
So you just explained why I come here every day !! I am not the only one who gets goofy assed!! I live and love to be goofy assed !! Thank You for giving me a platform to feel goofy ass and it is OK to be!
First and second have a more detailed inspection, so no his won’t, but it did get inspected just not as detailed as the first two cars. It’s unusual to have a double disqualification. Maybe the rule or procedure needs to be modified a little when there are teammates’ cars in first and second place and include the third place car in the detailed inspection too.
@@scott1243 no he didn't only the 1st, 2nd and a randomly selected car went through the tare down inspection! Chase's car was on its way back to NC after the regular post race inspection and nascar released it his car didn't get tore down.
I don't have a dog in this fight but it's time to stop watching nascar when drivers are DQ'd over this nonsense! It's not like some massive engine manipulation to gain advantage.
Hi Kenny. What I feel is really ironic is how TF they can find a piece of tape that is 12 thousandths thick under a heavy wrap? Unless the contour was that obvious, you would think the lasers would find that immediately in pre race tech 🤷♂️
The lasers check tolerances and the tolerances are very tight, but they likely won’t detect a 0.012” thickness of the tolerance was not violated. But they did not put tape on there for 💩 and giggles. Kenny himself would say they did it to gain an advantage even if a slight advantage.
@@easyenetwork2023 this is where I would like NASCAR to explain how much of a gain in on track performance an infraction could actually be. Because if you could say X I fraction could have meant x% more downforce than any car running legally should be able to make then it's hard to get mad when that team gets penalized. The advantage is spelled out. And if they have an infraction that doesn't equal a gain in performance then penalize them for something not being legal but the punishment needs to fit the crime.
GREAT TRUTH, KENNY!!! Thanks so much for the demonstration. It was awesome. You are absolutely right about Nascar blowing this one big time!! I'm not a Denny fan, but this was ridiculous and I love Dennys tweet sitting there with the Trophy and a big ole bottle of Champagne! Bwaaahahaha 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 I'm now a MTJ fan ( used to be a Carl Edwards fan and am still PO'd about what Nascar did to him). Anyway, hate the points system and stage racing!! To me, the guy with the most wins should be the Champion!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for some big wins for MTJ in these next 10 races. 🤞🤞🏁🏁🏁
The Zero. Zero Zero one two is hilarious. To think you would get DQ'd for that. I'm sure that's what someone at Gibbs fab shop thought. Maybe they will get the message now that NASCAR isn't playing around this year.
Hey 😊 Herman I a 100 percent of what you said. I have watched NASCAR racing since 1972 .I was 12 years old.Thats 50 years I have been keeping up with dirt racing and drag racing more since NASCAR started changing the rules for the most stupid things.
Just like the IWK 250, Cassius Clarke took the win but got DQ’d. Kenny Wallace was awarded the win but got cheated out of victory lane and celebrations
Kenny explained that better than the guy from Office Space that was pushed in front of the cameras the other night for 250,000 a year cheaper no less. I laughed at that so hard milk blew outta my nose.
As a Chase Elliott fan who has NEVER liked Denny Hamlin or Kyle Busch, I am honestly disgusted with Nascar over this extreme penalty decision. And I also feel bad for Chase, because this type of controversy is bad for everyone involved. Imagine having to be the guy who "won" a race without even leading a lap! What a mess. It's amazing how the story evolved. First I heard was that Denny had a modified gas tank, then it was an aero adjustment hidden under the wrap. But the truth? It was literally a piece of tape that may add the slightest bit of rigidity to a particular point of the body wrap, which maybe affects the shape and aero the tiniest bit. You are absolutely correct that this is a disservice to the fans. Over the past few years, I have stopped attending Nascar races, and these days the only one I watch is the Daytona 500. I was very tempted to watch this Pocono race, because it's such a cool track. When this scandal came out, I was so thankful I hadn't watched the race, because I'd have been so pissed I don't think I'd ever want to watch another Nascar race again. Last night I watched a replay of the 1985 Daytona 500, where Bill Elliott completely smoked the entire field. Was he "cheating" in that race? Of course, in some way, but so was everybody else. But I can tell you for sure, NASCAR would have never even mentioned a modification like Denny's back in those days.
wolverine96 In those days the cars were more like they were off of assembly lines. The T-Bird was the slickest body of all the rest. Elliot also had allowed cylinder head mods that allowed them to make more power than the rest. It wasn't cheating but how they Interpreted the rules.
Heyyyyyyyy Herminator, You are absolutely correct! Not only do the fans who have watched these races for several hours, deserve to know who the winners really are... But a piece of tape??? C'mon! Also... Along the Fans idea, It really ticks me off when after attending races at tracks like Vegas, with their Victory Lane and celebrations which are held in the garage area and behind a building where the fans cannot see and enjoy those moments unless they have paid (in advance) extra money. This is a direct slap in the face to the rest of the fans who now have to watch it on a TV screen! I would like to hear your thoughts on this. I can tell you that I (a fan) really feel like I'm part of the celebration when the Victory Lane Ceremony is held out in front of the thousands of fans who have paid good money to attend these races. Thanks Kenny, I really enjoy you and your contributions to our sport! Doug Luther Salem, Oregon

Well, one thing for sure....none of the rest of them will try it for a while.......

There are no more grey areas and any modifications to the parts will be dealt with severely and in this case they got lucky it was something they added and not modifying a part. Message sent they won't accept either one anymore.
If you ain't cheatin you ain't tryin
@@davidpolston4172 These days you keep cheating you ain't racin.
Thanks herm that was the best explanation of what they did with the tape. I was still confused until I watched this video. That means you just gained a new subscriber
thx, James!
I appreciate your explanation of the issue and yes, it does seem very ticky tacky. If it was ANY other driver I could be sympathetic but Denny went on his cry baby rant after the all star race about rules being rules and NASCAR needing to start enforcing them more strictly. So I say there you go Denny, happy now??????
NASCAR had become a joke long before this issue. If they want a spec series then supply the cars and have spec series.
That was tried. Remember IROC? It died
@@skidoorulz4914 yeah but i was being sarcastic anyways
NASCARs Golden Age ended in a transition from 2004 to 2008. Two things greatly contributed to that. The Chase and the COT. The points system caused a riff with drivers and fans and media alike as to who was Mickey and who wasn't in winning the title. A debate we still all have today questioning the credibility of a champion since 2004. In 2007 to 2008 with the implementation of the God awful COT combined with the national recession it was too much for NASCAR to overcome. And 2008 was the year we all knew for certain the Golden Age of NASCAR was over. Ironically even INDY was like "ight imma head out now" and that race hasn't been the same since. Sorry for you new NASCAR fans but you missed the Golden Age. It's over. And yes it was unbelievable. Now you stuck with this.
What was not covered with Kenny's statements was >>>> the teams were told in PRE-RACE inspection
@@oooldman11 BS! NASCAR would have watched to make sure it was removed and it would have been checked again to make sure it was removed.
Thanks Kenny , Great Idea ! I hope NASCAR is listening
You are a down to earth person Kenny. Much respect sir.
Your on point herm luv ya buddy this is such a slap in our face as fans
You earned my subscription tonight. Tape gate. LOL. I had a $10 bet on on Denny. From watching the end at work here in Australia to getting home . I had gone from winner now $85 to looser $0.00 . What a joke Nascar.
herman....you crack me up !!! Great idea on the post race inspection show. And watching Hamlins' little girl was the absolute best part of the race, bless her!
CHEATING IS CHEATING! QUIT CRYING 😭
Thanks Kenny. All the things to get a car ready all the things that can go bad in a race then to drive it to the finish line. Then someone who probably doesn't know how to drive in a race of professionals says tape kept the car down on the track 3 hours later absolutely crazy.
From Bumpin' and Bangin' on the track... to Tapin' and Spacklin' back in the shop. It's all just racing! 😇
Kenny is showing a 1 mill piece of tape. The "tape" Hamlin and Busch used was 12 times as thick. They knew what they were doing, and it gave them an advantage. That's why the finished 1,2.
The cars are wrapped in tape technically so I wounder if teams have been using them to shape the cars in other ways. Bring back real paint.
If they bring back real paint, then it will be hard to do this.
I know nothing about wraps but it seems that one could create some advantage by using darker colors over aerodynamically sensitive areas of the nose such that the thermal expansion of the wrap would expand and make the airflow more efficient.
Pretty much nailed it. Good job, Herm!
It's only cheating when you get caught 🥴
Thanks Herm, my sentiments exactly. I've been saying the same thing for a while now. You summed it up perfectly
I find it hard to believe that the wrap material in the hot sun and with the air pressure against the front of the car at speed that the wrap wasn’t
pressed against the body. Put it in the wind tunnel and prove me wrong .
Packing tape is extremely strong when used properly, plus the wrap on top would make great areo difference. Don’t under estimate the power of tape!
Thanks Herm best explanation I've heard on this issue. Thank You, be blessed.
The tape… even while small, probably helps with drag in some way. Might shave a few points off in the one hundredths of a second. Not much but add them together and suddenly you’ve got some breakaways.
True. It only takes a fraction of a tenth a lap to make a pass now a days.
Remember the small pieces of tape they use to put on the grill of the old cars? It must do something
IF YOUR RELYING ON TAPE TO WIN YOUR TEAM SUCKS ANYWAY
@@rdejaynes Their teams certainly do not suck.
Great rant, 1st time watching your show. I subscribed, see ya next show.
I'm going to show this video to my son. It's a great example of the longterm effects of concussions.
haha
No shit right 👍
Kenny fulminating THOSE DAYMN CHEETING YODDERS in a single video. Great video My Man!
Finally somebody explains how the tape was applied. Thank you Kenny, I don’t understand how no media covers this
Exactly. I think NASCAR should release pictures, etc. They should be more open
They want to keep the drama going, creates the buzz!
The 12 FBI agents aren't done with their investigation yet.
Keep making the Kenny Wallace show i look forward to watching we miss you Kenny
Amen Herm! 100% agreed. NASCAR is just shooting themselves in the foot with this crap... We already have the absolutely ridiculous points system that basically makes all of the regular season useless, the manufacturered cautions/interruptions called stages in the middle of the races and now this crap is coming back.... They going to pull a Ricky Rudd at Sonoma kind of thing before long too?
I agree totally man. Used to be a great sport and they seem to mess it up every chance they get
Thanks So Much Kenny for your commentary on the late great Dale Earnhardt Sr!!!! 💯💢💥💥💥💥💥
I hope they do do that with the whole inspection thing at the end of the race before victory Lane! Love ya K. W.
Thank you for clearing things up and thank you for coming up with NASCARs future idea for post race show/inspection. 🤣🤣
I sure hope you're right and they implement this system after race is over. It's freaking ridiculous. Anyone can find anything wrong given the time to look for it.
You crack yourself up. That’s so funny. You make so many good points in your videos.
Kenny is the "GOAT" period.
Thanks the uplifting speech. Well done 👏
How can NASCAR award the win to a car that didn't get a post-race teardown like the #11 & #18 went through...wtf?
NASCAR should've just fined them and took points...imolol
PS...lol I miss Speed TV!
What a great point!!
The 9 was already loaded up and gone and had passed its inspection.
@@easyenetwork2023 the same inspection?
@@fastestallday yep, top 3
Kenny ..great a what you do. Thanks for sharing your comedic way of looking at things.You are wright they will listen to u . Your a one favorite spokesperson for all of racing in general.its your fun loving spirit of the sport. I like your style and realism. Alot of nascar's people are just robots of professional . Anyway stay with us you da man.You are the one who belongs in the announcers booth.thanks Kenny.
Nascar is famous for stretching the rules to gain an advantage until caught.
How many times did you and Rusty beat the crap out of each other😂 lots of energy! Keep up the Great work!
I love the Earnhardt family and the Wallace family it’s nice being neutral now watching other people fight it out over there drivers
Good idea on the post race inspection show. I'll be looking forward to when Nascar implement something like that
The last time third place ended up winning was Cal Naughton Jr in 2006 @ Talladega. Love ya Cal!!!!!!!
I believe you are the most popular driver hand's down.
Love you channel. God bless.
Great job Kenny! I agree 100%.
That was a great demonstration of how that tape was used, you've got one hell of a profile there, Herman! 🤣 Btw, how's your brother Mike doin'? I hope he's all healed up from his assault, that was pretty horrific, man. Love your humor, bud, always keeping it real! See you at the track, Herminator!🏁
"Chase Elliott got cheated of victory lane" great quote my man 🤣🤣
So you just explained why I come here every day !! I am not the only one who gets goofy assed!! I live and love to be goofy assed !! Thank You for giving me a platform to feel goofy ass and it is OK to be!
So now does Elliott's car go through the same inspection as the 1st and 2nd place cars or do they just award the win without the inspection?
Elliott's car passed the exact same post race inspection.
top 5 are inspected every race
First and second have a more detailed inspection, so no his won’t, but it did get inspected just not as detailed as the first two cars. It’s unusual to have a double disqualification. Maybe the rule or procedure needs to be modified a little when there are teammates’ cars in first and second place and include the third place car in the detailed inspection too.
@@scott1243 no he didn't only the 1st, 2nd and a randomly selected car went through the tare down inspection! Chase's car was on its way back to NC after the regular post race inspection and nascar released it his car didn't get tore down.
Only race channel I watch love your channel keep up the good work 💪
Herm, I stand in solidarity with you, my Walmart keeps the Razor Blades locked up too, I refuse to wait for an employee to unlock them 😂
Bill won most popular driver, cause he didn't crash people out to win. Awesome Bill from dawsonville.........
I don't have a dog in this fight but it's time to stop watching nascar when drivers are DQ'd over this nonsense! It's not like some massive engine manipulation to gain advantage.
Kenny, you have always been my favorite Wallace brother. I have subscribed.
Hi Kenny. What I feel is really ironic is how TF they can find a piece of tape that is 12 thousandths thick under a heavy wrap? Unless the contour was that obvious, you would think the lasers would find that immediately in pre race tech 🤷♂️
Do you have intimate knowledge of the pre race inspection process and the technology used in it?
so you condone cheating ?
The lasers check tolerances and the tolerances are very tight, but they likely won’t detect a 0.012” thickness of the tolerance was not violated. But they did not put tape on there for 💩 and giggles. Kenny himself would say they did it to gain an advantage even if a slight advantage.
@@easyenetwork2023 this is where I would like NASCAR to explain how much of a gain in on track performance an infraction could actually be. Because if you could say X I fraction could have meant x% more downforce than any car running legally should be able to make then it's hard to get mad when that team gets penalized. The advantage is spelled out. And if they have an infraction that doesn't equal a gain in performance then penalize them for something not being legal but the punishment needs to fit the crime.
@@kennethpereyda5707 KENNY DOES, JR DOES, WALTRIP DOES..... OUT WITH MORALS, BRING THE MONEY AND FAME
GREAT TRUTH, KENNY!!! Thanks so much for the demonstration. It was awesome. You are absolutely right about Nascar blowing this one big time!! I'm not a Denny fan, but this was ridiculous and I love Dennys tweet sitting there with the Trophy and a big ole bottle of Champagne! Bwaaahahaha 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 I'm now a MTJ fan ( used to be a Carl Edwards fan and am still PO'd about what Nascar did to him). Anyway, hate the points system and stage racing!! To me, the guy with the most wins should be the Champion!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for some big wins for MTJ in these next 10 races. 🤞🤞🏁🏁🏁
The Zero. Zero Zero one two is hilarious. To think you would get DQ'd for that. I'm sure that's what someone at Gibbs fab shop thought. Maybe they will get the message now that NASCAR isn't playing around this year.
Hey 😊 Herman I a 100 percent of what you said. I have watched NASCAR racing since 1972 .I was 12 years old.Thats 50 years I have been keeping up with dirt racing and drag racing more since NASCAR started changing the rules for the most stupid things.
Just like the IWK 250, Cassius Clarke took the win but got DQ’d. Kenny Wallace was awarded the win but got cheated out of victory lane and celebrations
Kenny explained that better than the guy from Office Space that was pushed in front of the cameras the other night for 250,000 a year cheaper no less. I laughed at that so hard milk blew outta my nose.
As a Chase Elliott fan who has NEVER liked Denny Hamlin or Kyle Busch, I am honestly disgusted with Nascar over this extreme penalty decision. And I also feel bad for Chase, because this type of controversy is bad for everyone involved. Imagine having to be the guy who "won" a race without even leading a lap! What a mess.
It's amazing how the story evolved. First I heard was that Denny had a modified gas tank, then it was an aero adjustment hidden under the wrap. But the truth? It was literally a piece of tape that may add the slightest bit of rigidity to a particular point of the body wrap, which maybe affects the shape and aero the tiniest bit.
You are absolutely correct that this is a disservice to the fans. Over the past few years, I have stopped attending Nascar races, and these days the only one I watch is the Daytona 500. I was very tempted to watch this Pocono race, because it's such a cool track. When this scandal came out, I was so thankful I hadn't watched the race, because I'd have been so pissed I don't think I'd ever want to watch another Nascar race again.
Last night I watched a replay of the 1985 Daytona 500, where Bill Elliott completely smoked the entire field. Was he "cheating" in that race? Of course, in some way, but so was everybody else. But I can tell you for sure, NASCAR would have never even mentioned a modification like Denny's back in those days.
wolverine96 In those days the cars were more like they were off of assembly lines. The T-Bird was the slickest body of all the rest. Elliot also had allowed cylinder head mods that allowed them to make more power than the rest. It wasn't cheating but how they Interpreted the rules.
Heyyyyyyyy Herminator,
You are absolutely correct!
Not only do the fans who have watched these races for several hours, deserve to know who the winners really are... But a piece of tape??? C'mon!
Also... Along the Fans idea,
It really ticks me off when after attending races at tracks like Vegas, with their Victory Lane and celebrations which are held in the garage area and behind a building where the fans cannot see and enjoy those moments unless they have paid (in advance) extra money.
This is a direct slap in the face to the rest of the fans who now have to watch it on a TV screen!
I would like to hear your thoughts on this. I can tell you that I (a fan) really feel like I'm part of the celebration when the Victory Lane Ceremony is held out in front of the thousands of fans who have paid good money to attend these races.
Thanks Kenny, I really enjoy you and your contributions to our sport!
