Re: NASCAR thread
 

I liked Edwards pass at the end. He even said that he planned on hitting the wall but he didn't think it would slow him down THAT much.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think that was more Edwards being like the kid who falls down and then gets up and say's I meant to do that. I think it was trying to save face. He went into that turn pretty hard and darn near held that car for the win. It was a ballsy move, my hat's off to him for trying. I liked Johnsons post race response to the move. He was quoted as saying I thought I had him and then all of a sudden where the world did he come from.

Great race and awesome results. Johnson for the win, Roush looking strong again, Gordon nice finish in 4th, and scrub nowhere to be seen. Oh and we must not forget the weekly wreck with Michael Waltrip.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Good Lord. :butt:
Edwards was balls to the wall.
He knew he would drift up and hit the wall.
So did I.
It was his only shot, and it almost worked.
Would have been cool if it did.

Kyle Busch to drive for Roush!!!! :23:


































Calm down ............ enhance your calm :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Roush hates the Busch brothers almost as much as he hates Toyota....

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't know if hate is the right word????





With reference to teeota, there has to be a stronger word. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Judging by how hard he went into the corner, I would say it was intentional. A driver of his caliber knows you can't get into the corner that hard and not tag the wall.

Seems like no one wants to drive for DEI anymore.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I wouldn't mind taking Theresa for a spin.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm still not sold on that it was intentional. I've played and replayed that move on Tivo. It was ballsy I'm just not sure with him in the chase as high as he is would take that chance of really wrecking the car and not crossing the finish line. I still think he thought he could hold the line.

But I will agree with you that the caliber of driver that he is, is among the top's in the sport.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I thought it was 1 he!! of a move. Last lap you got to go and give it a try. Carl almost pulled it off . EARS would have just to Hit Jimmys car to gain control of the EARSMOBIL and take the win . Or wreak them both.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Edwards had nothing to lose.
It was the last lap, and even if he crashed he would have been second.
Yellow comes out, field frozen.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Sad news.
Australian driver, Marcos Ambrose will be driving a Toiletta ext year.
Huge mistake on his part, as there is a connection to Waltrip racing.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Some even Autralians make mistakes...some of them drive Holdens!

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Huge mistake on Ford's part also.
Ambrose will regret his decison, and will never win a cup race.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

will very long time before winning a race with Mikey

Re: NASCAR thread
 

A Ford on the pole...

Travis Qvaple???

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Well, it looks as if Brian "Pansy" France, determined to make Un-American cars win,
decided to let Toiletta circumvent the "no passing under the yellow line" rule.
On the last lap, Tony Toileta Stewart forced a Chebby below the line,
and yet gave the Toiletta the victory for finishing second.
According to ASSCAR's rules,
if you are forced below the line, the pass stands.
Except, of course,if a Toiletta can win.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yeah...and somebody needs to take away Carls Playstation. He's learning to many bad habits with it!
Only good thing is the rest of of the chasers (other than Stewrat) had a less than stellar day as well.

Hopefully Jimmie can give drafting lessons again next week...
:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

That was a BS ruling by NASCAR. Ragan was forced below the line by Stewart and yet they screwed Ragan. I guess the NASCAR officials were afraid that if they did not rule in Stewart's favor, he would come to the trailer and punch them...

Keeps getting worse and worse. So much so that NASCAR has just about lost this fan.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I guess if you drive a toiletta,
the rules do not apply to you.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I agree, BS decision on Nascar on the pass. Stewrat was blocking and drove him below the yellow line. Ragan should be celebrating his first career win this evening.

I stated earlier in the year and I'll say it again here, I absolutely hate restrictor plate racing. It sure sells commercial's on tv but is not what racing should be all about. It's never fun watching chase contenders end up they way most of them did today.

I'm sure many of you Roush fans can finally agree with Jimmy Johnson. He stated earlier in the week that he don't like restrictor plate races in the chase. After watching Edwards take out his teammates Biffle & Kenseth along with several others I'm sure they would agree as well.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

ASSCAR is slowly driving away the people that made it
what it once was.
COT = POS with ricer wings
Toiletta should not be in an American sport
Different rules for different mfr's and teams
Someone inside, such as a team or Mfr. or both needs to make a stand.
Have a bunch of teams or all Mfr's just not show up to a race,
and watch them explain that away.
It needs to be done.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

NASCAR is beginning to look more and more like the WWE. Oh wait, that is not fixed either.... My bad.
