So if it rains out tomorrow and they run it after Turkey Day, that means Richmond will no longer be the final race before the Chase which really sucks. I wonder if they'll put studs on the tires in case it snows?!? :D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If the weather is like it was forcast to be when I left this morning, I wouldn't look for a race on Tuesday, but you never know. The idea of the last race being at Michigan is interesting as it'll be stupid cold, and I don't know which will give out first; the fans or the tires on the cars...
:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

No, they'll just have it in Ford Field.

Indoor Super Speedway --- that would be kool. :LAUGH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Bristo Race week has started! Campers lined up 16 days ago to get into the campground near the track. Get ready, gonna be the best race this year!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Rubberhead won dang it. And he's really good at Bristol too.... :angry:

Bristol should be decent now that nearly every one in the top 10 is basically locked in to the Chase. None of this conservative racing we've seen for the past 3 years.....

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Is Rubberhead Kurt Busch?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I never have liked the chase. The whole thing is based on kissin owner/sponsor butt. Worse than the chase is the 35 car lock in ------ I'd end that tomorrow. :devil:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Back in the day Dale Sr. use to call Rusty Wallace rubberhead because he survived a bad acident. He told Rusty "Your head had to made of rubber in order to survive that crash" hence the name rubberhead. I guess Kurt inherited that name now a few years back. I don't know where that came from though. He got it before Rusty retired so him driving the blue deuce has nothing to do with it.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Kurt Busch was sponsored by Rubbermaid when Jimmy Spencer punched him in the face back in 2003. Hence the name. Just a cool coincidence that the car he inherited when he left Roush for Penske had a driver with the same nickname!

It seems like there is a changing of the guards. No more are there the drivers who work with their heads in the carburetor, just drivers who drive. We will miss Rusty as he rides out to the sunset[with his 3 wheel old persons bike, thanks to Daytona Motor Speedway]. He was coined the original "Rubberhead" by the Great one Dale Sr. after a horrific wreck at Talladega. His head was pinned downwards from the roof of his car. Senior was one of the first people to the scene. When safety workers cut the roof off Dale said his head popped up like it was made of rubber. Henceforth giving Rusty the nickname "Rubberhead". Ironically Kevin Harvick called Kurt Busch that 3 years ago at Daytona for being STUPID. With Rubbermaid as a sponsor Harvick coined that name on him. Kind of funny how the new "Rubberhead" is taking over the "Old Rubberhead's" ride. As for the new "Rubberhead, make Rusty and Penske proud, DON'T BE A ****!!!! God bless you Rusty we will miss you as you pedal off into the sunset on your new Daytona approved bike.

Correct!

You answered 8 items out of 10 correctly.

Your score is 80%. Great job! You are the Busch Series Champion

Re: NASCAR thread
 

True, but he actually "inherited" the nickname from Kevin Harvick 4-5 years ago when Harvick referred to Kurt as Rubberhead as a slam for an on-track incident they had, taking a jab at his sponsor (Rubbermaid), while basically calling Kurt an idiot at the same time. Sometimes Harvick comes up with some really good interviews.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Kinda tame Bristol race! Atleast Carl got to do a back flip. Kinda thought K.K. had that one wrapped up!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The extra 3ft. wide of new track has really opened up the race for more passing and better outlets to avoid wrecks.
