“Day After” Discussion

We’ve got several things to discuss today after Sunday’s AAA 400 at Dover. So without further ado, let us begin our second Discussion of the Chase: With Jimmie Johnson’s dominating performance at Dover, is he now the driver to beat in the Chase? Is Johnson’s dominance in recent years suspicious? Can Juan Pablo Montoya or Kurt Busch, the only non-Hendrick drivers within double-digit points of the lead, spoil the Hendrick Chase party? Will any of the Hendrick drivers ever have a mulligan? Does the Chase even interest you any more? After Joey Logano’s flip, does the CoT deserve any more [...]

Our first race of the Chase has come and gone. And it’s Monday, so you know what that means. It’s time for our first “Day After” Discussion of the 2009 Chase for the Cup! A few things to talk about: With Mark Martin’s win at New Hampshire, is this his championship to lose? Juan Pablo Montoya was stout on Sunday. Is he a legit title contender? Can Kasey Kahne rebound from his engine trouble at Loudon? Talking about the race, should NASCAR have thrown the caution on the last lap, or let them race to the line? Did Dale Earnhardt [...]

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had the Discussion. 2 to be exact. So it is with great pleasure that I welcome it back after a thrilling race in Atlanta. With the Chase cutoff race coming this weekend, we have a lot to talk about. So let’s get straight to it: Were you satisfied with the winner? Is night racing in Atlanta good or bad? What about changing its date? Talking about the Chase, which driver(s) currently 13th or worse will get into the top 12? Will any? Who will they knock out? Coming into Atlanta, Brian Vickers had [...]

Another week. Another race. And you know what that means. It’s time for your favorite part of the work-week, the “Day After” Discussion! Every week, I open up the comment wall for discussion to allow fans to openly express their opinion on the weekend’s action. As always, I will begin by raising a few questions myself, in order to get things moving: Are you satisfied with the winner? Is Toyota’s victory in the backyard of the Big 3 symbolic of today’s tough economic times? Did Mark Martin and Alan Gustufson put their Chase hopes on life support by gambling on [...]

Alright fans, we saw another great race yesterday at Watkins Glen. Again, the race was postponed until Monday, which means that our “Day After” Discussion comes on a Tuesday for the second week in a row. A few things to talk about: Were you satisfied with the outcome? After two consecutive finishes outside the top 10, is Jimmie Johnson and crew still “All that and a bag of chips”? Did Marcos Ambrose lose because of poor strategy, or was Tony Stewart just better? Should Kasey Kahne be reprimanded for causing a 3-car crash? Did blame for the accident fall solely [...]

Hello fans. Welcome to Stock Car Spin’s newest feature, the “Day After” Discussion. The feature is expected to run the day after every NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, and will be a place for fans to vent about the weekend’s action and controversies. And, as always, conspiracy theorists are welcomed. So, without further ado, let us begin this week’s “Day After” Discussion: Are you satisfied with the winner? Was NASCAR right in penalizing Robby Gordon and/or David Stremme? Should either of them have been penalized? Should Denny Hamlin have been penalized for knocking David Reutimann out of the way? Will [...]
