You gotta give credit where credit is due. And you got to admit, (hate them or not)The Hendricks organization has what it takes, great cars and great drivers.

"Intimidator vs BoyWonder, who is better"

Why even start that discussion!!! :concerned

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:wtf: That's a no brainer!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It's hard to beat a dead legend but in this case it still wouldn't matter.

Some people will never acknowledge his accomplishments because they just hate the guy. There is no denying he's a record setter.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I agree. It's like trying to say who was the better running back, Walter Payton or Jim Brown. Who was better, Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron. There is no way to say for sure, it's all a matter of opinion.

However, as you stated, hate the guy or like the guy, there is no way you can say that he is not one of the all time greats. 50 years from now people will look back and say that Earnhardt and Gordon were two of the best drivers that ever raced in Nascar.

There are some that will say Earnhardt was not as good as Darryl Waltrip. Again hard to compare the two drivers. In my opinion, I will say this, Earnhardt was not the greatest of all time. That has to go to the legend who drove the #43, Richard Petty.

Sorry again Gordon bashers. I'm sure it hurts to admit it, but he is a great racer. I also find it interesting that most fans can admit this, the only camp that has a hard time are the Earnhardt fans. :yeh:

Looks like Jr's managed to fall a few rungs down the ladder. After getting caught with illegal stanchions on his rear deck spoiler he's now out 100 points as well as 100 owners points for his step-mom and team owner. Tony Eury, Jr. get to pay 100grand and watch the next 6 poins races from the comfort of his recliner at home...ouch!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Nascar should check 24,48 cars to:secret: :yes:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I just read where they found Vasoline in the drivers seats on the 24 & 48, but won't penalize them as it didn't make them faster, just slicker:butt:

:31:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Probably helped them trying to get "on a pole".

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The way the Roush boys have been lately, the've been mostly "in the rear" LOL

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:MADNOEL: good one:LAUGH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Hot d@mn!!! Bill Elliott will be back in a Wood Bros. Ford starting with the CocaCola 600 next weekend!!! there may be hope for NASCAR yet, and maybe even Ford! (OK, it's still a way to use past champions provisionals, but I don't care! Awesome Bill's in a Ford!)

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think you are right, it doesn't make them faster, just easier for them to sit on the Pole;)

Bill Elliott back in a Ford. Kind of like your wife leaving you for the next door neighbor then coming back after 7 years. Not sure I am gonna throw a party for him. He has to apologize for alot and hopefully win a couple before I am back on the wagon.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I met Bill a few times when I was at Development.
Really a nice guy, and a clean driver.
Always been a huge Elliott fan.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Bill Elliot will just be making laps, that's it. No threat at all. If anything, he should take over commentating duties on NBC from when B.P. died.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't think so. He's not the kind to just ride. :D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think there is one thing that we all can agree on here whether we are fans of the Hendricks team, RCR, Roush, or DEI. That is our opinions on the Toyota's.

Another success story for Michael Waltrip and his Toyota in qualifying. Nascar should start charging him for the cost to repaint the walls week in and week out.:23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

You are so right, and he needs to open his own body and paint shop. That should save him a ton of $. He slapped the heck out of the wall last night. But on a Ford note, both pole winners (not to be confusedwith Jimmie or Jeff 'taking' a pole) were Ford drivers. Maybe there's hope yet...but I still don't have Speed so I guess I'll be reading about it in the paper tomorrow...
:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

not in a million years, no fricken way, yes, no way and yes, the Toyota's suck.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I've been a devoted race fan all my life and Toyota is the least of my concerns with NASCAR. I prefer American cars but when you attend a Cup race there are Toyota fans and they provide some nice displays for the fans. I don't get some of the hate for the Toyota drivers. I would drive one tonight if that was a way to get a Cup ride. :o

It will probably keep the US based teams on their toes. Just imagine what an American can would be "quality wise" if there was no Japanese competition. The current crop of US cars is MUCH better because they have to be.
:D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Wind Tunnel was better than I thought it would be --- referring to the "Iron-Head vs "WonderBoy" comparison.

They had some great stories recounted. :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Juan Pablo Montoya completely sucks. I knew he'd be taking cars out as soon as I saw he was starting 5th in the qualification race. :notsure:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Is it just me or is this AllStar Open/Race the most exciting race of the year so far? Bunch of crashes and it really is a shootout for the win! Sucks that Carl Edwards is commentating instead of racing but I love that the Busch brothers took themselves out! :D

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yeah, that was some really good all out racing. Too bad Martin fell back at the end. That would have been sweet to see him win, but Harvick winning was better than the :OOPS: twins. (Gordon @ Johnson)

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yeah, Harvick was my third pick. Martin, Burton, and then Happy. :D


Pretty exciting, I kinda feel bad for Kurt because he seems to be a different guy with the Penske guidance. :machgod:
