Nascar

[Sam Hornish Jr.]

Vreme je da i ovaj sport koji se od ove godine poco prikazivati na SK dobije svoju temu

Dakle prosle su 4 trke i izdvojio se jedan vozac a to je Kevin Harvik(Sevrolet) koji je zabelezio dva druga mesta i dve pobede. Inace to je Harviku sedmi uzastopni top2 finis sto nije uspelo nikom jos od "Kralja" Ricarda Petija 1975.

Sledeca trka je na Auto Club spidveju, prosle godine je trijumfovao Kajl Bus u Tojoti ali on sada nece voziti zbog povrede.

Da napisem nesto i o sebi. Nascar pratim od 2006 a navijam za #2 Keselovski, #9 Hornis i #10 Patrik.

I konacno tema za Nascar, s obzirom da ga pratis duze vreme, uputi nas novajlije u neka osnovna pravila : ))

[Sam Hornish Jr.]

Evo osnovno je sistem bodovanja. Bodove dobijaju svih 43 vozaca. Pobednik dobija 43 poena(plus 3 za pobedu), drugi 42, treci 41 i tako do zadnjeg koji dobija 1 poen. Dodeljuje se jos i poen za krug proveden u vodjstvu i poen za najvise krugova provedenih u vodjstvu.

Sezona je podeljena na regularni deo(26 trka) i Chase/play-off(10 trka). U Chase idu 16 najbolje plasiranih vozaca iz regularnog dela sezone. Chase se sastoji od 4 runde(Challenger, Contender, Eliminator i Championship). Svaka runda ima 3 trke osim zadnje koja je poslednja trka. Posle svake runde otpadaju 4 najlosije plasirana vozaca tako da u zadnjoj rundi odnosno trci ostaju 4 najbolja koja odlucuju sampiona. Ko bude bolje plasiran od ta 4 vozaca taj je sampion

Hvala : ))
Slusala sam nesto oko tih play off trka, bilo je reci da neki voze iako ne mogu da osvoje sampionat cisto kako bi pokazali sta znaju i umeju, sto bi se reklo sticu slavu...

[Sam Hornish Jr.]

Pa glupo bi bilo da posle 26 trka dalje voze samo 16 vozaca pa onda samo 12, pa 8 i zadnju trku samo 4

[Brana]

Ja sam za u svakom slucaju, sto vise to bolje : ))
Uostalom nema diskriminacije vozaca i timova : ))

Brano, sta mislis hoce Harvik opet pobediti? Ja bi voleo ako vec ne moze Keselovski onda da pobedi jedna Tojota i prekine ovaj niz Sevija.

[Sam Hornish Jr.]

Ono sto nisam ocekivao desilo se, Keselovski pobedio!!!



NASCAR: Keselowski snatches Fontana win in wild finish

Brad Keselowski completed a spectacular comeback to take the NASCAR Sprint Cup victory at Fontana's Auto Club Speedway on the second green-white-checkered restart.

Keselowski dived down the inside of Stewart-Haas' polesitter and long-time race leader Kurt Busch at Turn 1 and completed the move at the exit of Turn 2 on the final lap of the race. The late-race restarts suited Keselowski as his Penske Ford was stronger on short runs, and the 2012 champion was also one of the few frontrunners to grab four fresh tires at the last stops.

Kevin Harvick earned second after winning the previous two races at Las Vegas and Phoenix respectively. His streak of top two finishes extended to eight, as he beat teammate Busch on the run to the checker after Busch hit the wall trying to repass Keselowski.

NASCAR: Hamlin holds off Keselowski for Martinsville win



Denny Hamlin earned his 25th career NASCAR Sprint Cup victory at Martinsville, after holding off last week's Fontana winner Brad Keselowski.

Keselowski punted Hamlin on the last lap, but it wasn't enough to deny the Joe Gibbs driver his fifth Martinsville victory.

Hamlin suffered from a pitlane penalty for an uncontrolled tire before the halfway point, but he slowly recovered with the help of some calming words from crew chief Dave Rogers as he fought his way through the field.

Keselowski produced a brilliant drive, coming to the fore at the perfect time to challenge for the lead, but he ultimately fell short.

His Penske teammate Joey Logano managed third, after he had contact with Michael Annett, sending him into a spin and forcing him to the back.

Joe Gibbs duo Matt Kenseth and David Ragan rounded out the top five, while Martin Truex Jr. had an eventful day, but managed sixth and his sixth top 10 finish of 2015.

Kevin Harvick's string of eight top-two finishes came to an end as he fell back in the last 100 laps, despite leading a race-high 154 laps, and came home eighth.

Hendrick Motorsports had a tough day, with three cars in the garage at one point during the race. Jimmie Johnson had a multitude of issues, while Dale Earnhardt Jr. ruined the front end of his car by plowing into the back of Paul Menard as he avoided an incident up front and Chase Elliott had trouble with the radiator on his Cup debut.

Jeff Gordon took the lead for the first time with less than 50 of the 500 laps remaining, but then sped in the pitlane. He did manage to fight back to finish ninth.
