Darlington NWS race

Darlington NWS race

I watched the NWS race at Darlington last night and thought it was a good
one. I musta missed something tho'...... KyBu crashed out and during the
post-crash interview he was whining that another driver (Keselowski?) didn't
show him any respect and came down on him. I haven't replayed it yet, but I
really didn't see anything untoward. Did KyBu really get taken out or is he
just whining 'cause the LIB whupped him?

I didn't see that part of the race (I watched the first 70 or 80
laps), but I'd guess Busch is just whining. At Darlington more
than anywhere else, a driver goes where the car wants to go, and
doesn't have all that much choice in it. So it's not likely
that Keselowski purposefully disrespected Busch.

I think the drivers, no matter who they are,
get frustrated when lapped cars don't give them a tiny bit
more room, than if they were not a lap down....
What is really the point
of racing a guy that is a lap ahead of you...
I don't necessarly call it whining, more frustration.

Agreed. But at Darlington once a driver has committed to a line
in the corner, giving a little bit more room isn't always possible.
Sometimes the guy trying to pass has to wait till the next corner
to let the guy being passed chose a line that'll give him some
space.

I think what you say about Darlington, is a lot more
true on almost any track than people think...
I don't think people realize how difficult it is to 'change' your line,
once you have committed to one, when you are at racing speed.
The track doesn't matter too much, it's tough to just crank that wheel...
Too many think it's like changing lanes on the interstate..
It ain't so..

Yeah, I think the guy on the inside doesn't have much choice once he's
started in - except maybe at the really wide tracks like Michigan.

I think at the mile & a half or bigger tracks, the guy on the outside
can often widen his line a little, at the expense of really slowing
his times in the corner. Unless, of course, he's running the Harry
Gant groove up by the wall.
