#48 into the wall and then the garage.
21 car a bit of damage.
Cool 2013 Mustang commercial though.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If Danica's done for the night, I've got a job for her.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Holy jumping Jesus! That gibbering IDIOT Darrell Waltrip just said that all the NASCAR drivers have "taken a lesson" from Danica Patrick. Time to turn off the sound or find something else to watch.


And he was talking about Jimmy Johnson, of all people. Danica couldn't carry the jockstrap of the person who could introduce her to the person who once met the guy who carries Johnson's jock.


Is there ANYBODY, covering ANY sport (curling, darts, ANYTHING) ANYWHERE in the known universe who sucks as bad as this homo? If we are lucky he will choke while trying to say the word Toyota for the 4253rd time before the second commercial break.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Taking the hands off the wheel is not something that was done prior.
She did it over the weekend, and JJ did it just now.
Good idea.
Saves a broken wrist.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I've seen it done plenty of times over the years, especially by guys with open wheel experience like Tony Stewart or Robby Gordon. Danica didn't invent it.

NASCAR has become a Danica-fest and I am surprised you are ok with Toilet Boy ramming it down your throat.

With a Cup car's slower steering, larger steering wheels and power assist it's not really as much of an issue anyway, name me one driver who has suffered a broken wrist in a crash.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Man, that was funny as hell. :31:

Bobby Hamilton in sept 2002 virgina is for lovers races.

Just got home from work with my brother giving me updates, going to be a rough day of work tomorrow :P.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

This is why primetime NASCAR won't work. Commercials every five minutes and Dw d bag getting to show his azz

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Thank you, I stand duly corrected.

But I don't think it will catch on in NASCAR like in other series. Many times after impact you end up back on the racing surface and exposed to FAR more danger than a broken wrist that might be averted or assaged somewhat depending on the position of your car on the track, so it seems to me it would behove a driver to do what he could to control the car to whatever extent possible.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Holy fire!!!! Never seen that happen before. A car slam into the back of a jet dryer.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Holy crap! The jet dryer truck is smashed and on fire! What a truly bizarre race this has become.

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Thanks alot Juan Pablo!! :angry:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I wonder if it wrecked the track?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The only car in the sprint cup series Montoya hasnt wrecked now is the pace car:smack:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Montoya has a problem with running over stuff during cautions, just ask Michael Schumacher.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Don't worry, jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to damage concrete or steel, right?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think after this race, Indy/F1 car drivers should NOT be allowed to race in the nascar series...

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Jet dryers should have a fuel cell.
Drivers should NOT remove their helmets until the car is stopped after the race.
Why?
Ask Lee Shepherd.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Tide
A million and one uses

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't blame Montoya for this. He went into the pits cause his car didn't feel right but his crew said they didn't see anything wrong. They sent him back out and he had a mechanical failure causing this wreck.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yeah, the whole world saw evidence of that.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Waiting for odumbo's EPA azz holes to complain...............

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Sent to me by a friend:

I'm big.....I'm yellow.....I have flashing yellow lights....I have a big azz jet dryer on my back-end.......Who can see me?





No Juan!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Maybe he spilled his Columbian coffee on his lap?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Best part of this red flag- DW has vanished, must be past his bedtime :laugh:


EDIT: Nevermind, must have had a quick cat nap, was wishful thinking lol.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Ford wins back 2 back Daytona 500s... so when will Nascar put restrictions on the Fords again? Go Roush Racing!!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Jr whining after the race that Biffle wouldn't pull out on his team mate.
Doh!
Nice job for the Ford teams.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The season is still young. Great finishes by Gordon and JJ. Congrats to Matt and Greg on strong finishes, and even Carl finished respectably considering his night.

Ratings
Daytona 500 TV Ratings (lots of info here):
Fox's impromptu primetime coverage of a rain-delayed Daytona 500 rained on everyone else's parade, driving almost every rival down in viewership. What's more, by averaging 14.24 million total viewers and a 4.5 demo rating,
Fox's NASCAR coverage about doubled its typical House/Alcatraz numbers and thus led the network to a rare Monday win on both counts

Re: NASCAR thread
 

lmao I like the last 2 statistics the most;)

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Chad Knauss fined 100k and suspended for 6 races for cheating at Daytona.
He appealing, so he will be allowed to cheat again until a hearing.

LINK
Also, JJ was docked 26 points.
I guess that's 13 points per attempted lap.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:23::23:

How can you cheat on a C-pillar? Why would you? :secret: Perhaps it's a diversion from his other cheating!





Big Ron

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It was designed to take air off the rear spolier.
ASSCAR is very strict with the COT bodies.
I think the 25 points should also translate to chase points.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Good!

Guess jimmy should have slammed the side of the car into a wall like he told him to do with the rear spoiler if they win a race. Wonder why he would have said that?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:cool: This year could'nt start any better.
Matt wins. The Ford's do GREAT, Jeffy blows up, JJ hits the wall and takes out D.P. so we did'nt have to hear about her ALL NIGHT.
Now more trouble for the 48 team. :COOL:
Now if we could get rid of DW and his brother, little DW. Life would be SWEET.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I just looked at the points standings.
JJ is 49th out of 49 with -23 points. (that's NEGATIVE 23 points) :loser:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

exactly what i was thinking!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Penske switching to FORD beginning in 2013

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Smart man. Won't be many Dodge's left.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Except Robbie Gordon, and Ford wants nothing to do with him.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:23: Who does?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

What's with all the hate for Robbie Gordon? I'd rather hang out with him for a day than most of the other corporate geeks the NASCAR guys have turned into.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Having worked with people at Ford who dealt with him personally,
he is alleged to be one of the most arrogant know it alls of all time,
ranking right up there with Jackie Stewart, whom I have met.
If he is like JS, I do not blame Ford at all.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Hmmm, if he's as big of a hind end as Jackie Stewart, then it would make for a long day, cause JS is an azz. I was thinking a day with Gordon would be all jump ramps, mud, crashes and maybe a fight or two, the kind of thing you barely survive and then laugh about the rest of your life.
