Maybe in 10 years he'll mellow out, but I don't see it happening anytime soon, especially when he does'nt have a Championship yet.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't like or dislike Kyle but you have to give the guy credit, he can drive a racecar pretty d@mn good. He got lucky winning this race though. It would have gone to Hamlin or Lagano if they didn't wreck.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Every time someone wins, there's a measurable amount of luck involved. The guy led almost every lap, put himself in the position to win and he did.

Fwiw-go back and watch the replay if you have it DVR'd. Wreck or not, the 22 and 11 had both killed their momentum and the 18 was going to pull past them on the high side.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I did watch it over a few times and I still don't think he would have passed both of them. There is no question that he dominated the race but they were pulling away from Kyle until they decided to act stupid next to each other. If they would have raced each other instead of trying to pi$$ each other off, one of them woud have one.

Anyone else into race used memorabilia? I just picked up a fender from the 29 car that was used in the Sprint Unlimited, Duel 1, and crashed in the Daytona 500. Seems like this could be an addicting hobby.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't have any race used memorabilia but I have well over 100 1:24 scale NASCAR diecast cars and over 200 1:64 scale NASCAR cars. Most of my stuff is from the #2 Miller Lite car when it was driven by Rusty Wallace.

Wow, that's a lot of cars. I have maybe 10 1:24 harvick cars. Do you display them? I'm probably gonna hang the fender on the wall in the house somewhere. Thank god my wife thinks its cool too. I'm gonna have to build a garage soon so I have somewhere to hang this stuff.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I did have them on display but I moved to a different house. I need to build shelves in the basement so I can display them again. I have alot of Mustang diecast cars too.

Got it in the mail the other day. Gonna hang it in our office for now. It's an awesome piece to physically hold and look over. I have it laying on the top of my pellet stove to gauge the size. It's a pretty big piece. It even has part of the carbon fiber nose cone attached.

Very cool!!!!

Greetings from Martinsville! World famous hotdog number 6

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I never knew they had famous hotdogs. The best thing I liked about Martinsville was camping a stones throw from the track.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I hear so much about those. If that is your 6th one, I guess they are as good as they say they are.

They tasted pretty good with beer plus at 2 bucks a dog, they're the cheapest thing there.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Truex was doomed whether that caution came out or not. Busch was catching him anyway. Then you go up against Busch on a re-start and forget it. You've already lost the race before the checkered flag flies.

Was that the NRA 500, as in National Rifle Association 500?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yup, that NRA!

Good to see Kyle get that one...he deserved it! And you're correct, Truex was doomed before the yellow - the yellow just secured the race for Rowdy

:COOL:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Kyle was killer on the restarts. He was leaving Gordon behind like nobodys business. It was at least good to see some of the Ford push towards the front for some respectable finishes, but they we never really a threat. What gives?

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Kyle is always real good restarts.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Another epic weekend in motorsports :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I hope KB makes a run at the chase this year!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

For some reason, I just knew you'd come in dancing with a broom!

I was pleased to see the Interstate Batteries paint scheme.

I didn't watch the entire race, but everytime I checked in they were having commercials :OUCH:. Just glad that the #24 didn't win.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Sad to hear some guy shot himself in the head in the infield towards the end of the race over an argument.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

That's just so ironic that it happened at the NRA 500. When you camp in the infield, your vehicle, camper or RV is'nt searched at all. You just hand the guy your infield tickets and they wave you through. I've never seen any kind of violence or known anyone that ever got ripped off when they've camped at a Nascar race. It's just a huge party and everyone seems to get along.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I live 1 mile from the martinsville speedway. Was that your DG Mach at the Suntrust Bank last weekend?
