If that's the case. Congratulations Jr. fans!!!!!!!!! LOL He gets away with quite a bit.

Why the heck would they even care about the inner fenders. I guess your right, that is a lot of b/s. What next, the bottom of the hood has to be a certain color. LOL I do believe the whole idea with this new car wasn't so much for the money but for the safety and the attempt to make it more of a "driver's" race rather then depending on Aero, Hence the excess drag on the cars. Maybe that will help out in this whole restrictor plate thing in the future. I know they made the inside of the car bigger and moved the driver more towards the center of the car making it safer for them.( I can't remember how many inches at this time),

The engineer said the have like 30k templates which include; the inner fender wells (as a rediculous example). Talk about not being able to get ahead. You wont be able to do anything to give your car an advantage.
Sorry for the rant but Nascar is making me lose intrest by the second and I used to watch it religously.

In my opinion; You know who is going to win the NEXTEL CUP this year; Whom ever NASCAR wants to win it.

:yeh:

I don't get the whole car of tomorrow thing. They want everyone to run the same kind of car so that it's the driver that makes the difference? Isn't that called IROC?

I have pretty much stopped watching NASCAR...shame really because I used to be a huge fan, but I simply don't enjoy it anymore.

Re: NASCAR thread

Wouldn't that be something if Burton wins Dega. Or even the championship this year. He is on the right track so far. Who would have thought he would have even been in the chase let alone have the points lead when the season started.

Mine were tears of Joy. JJ did not win. Lately I am pulling for anyone except JJ and Robby Gordon.

Do you think RH has the balls to can Vickers after he wins????????????

I think Vickers will be OK, it wasn't anything he could change. If you get out of the gas you're going to the back. He almost got passed prior to the caution because of how much the contact slowed him up.

I like first time winners. :yeh:

Loved the last lap at 'Dega. Couldn't happen to nicer guys. Kensith moved to second only a few points behind Burton and Mark hangs just behind in third in points. :borg:

Re: NASCAR thread

I think it's kinda obvious that Vickers didin't intentionally do that but hey, that's racing. Everyone makes mistakes. Just think though, everytime he looks at that trophy, he will remember how he won it. By the way I heard today that Goodwrench is leaving as a the #29 sponsor. I think it is going to be Shell Gas stations and something else if I heard it right. I'm not a Harvick fan but I thought this was kind of interesting because Goodwrench has been part of this sport for quite some time now.

Re: NASCAR thread

Junior was more inflamed about Gordon than about getting wrecked out of winning the race. Johnsons camp is still whinning, but he'd have whined if Vickers hadn't tried to draft past Jr. with him. Wonder if Vickers'll still have a job next weekend since he's leaving the team at the end of the season. I'm sure the phone lines are burning up with those conversations. They're beefing up security for Vickers sake (regardless of who he's driving for) due to threats from other teams fans. :borg:

That's idiotic! I remember that same crap after Earnhardt died at Daytona. Some jack-@$$ Earnhardt fans were sending Sterling Marlin death threats for days after that. :SMASH: :smack:

Not to mention all the death threats and hate mail to Simpson too. The maker of the 5 point harness that broke.

It just got blown out of proportion because he is a young driver that doesn't run up front every week. If Jr. would have done it, Everyone would just say it was a racing incident. What about when Jr. got warned about bump drafting? Not but one lap later, he bump drafts Kurt Busch in the turn and almost spins him out and NASCAR didn't to a thing about it.

He would be elevated to KING if he had done that to Gordon. Sad but true. :smokin:

I'd spin my mom on the last lap to win a cup race. Vickers has been on the losing end of so much crap in the past, I'm glad he won and he did nothing wrong. :yeh:

Actually, Junior probably would have said that he checked up while trying to slingshot past him for the lead...as if that would make any sense. :??:

I also like Kenseth but it would be nice to see someone win the championship that you would never have expected. Such as Burton or Hamlin or someone like that. Although my favorite driver that is in the chase would have to be Kenseth.

Re: NASCAR thread

I was kinda hoping that Hamlin would have passed Jimmy at Martrinsville today even though I am a neutral fan of Hamlin. Don't like him nor do I hate him. But I think in all honesty, Jimmy does deserve a championship. It would be nice to see somelike like Burton or Hamlin win it though. Someone you wouldn't expect. I can't beleive how close the points race got after this race.

Re: NASCAR thread

I really enjoyed it. Wish Tony had restarted second, then Bobby Labonte would have probably won. :23:

I like Bobby ok but never been a Petty fan. It was very cool to see the 43 running up front. :smokin:

If that punk Johnson wins the Cup I am going to sell my season tickets to Lowes. That whole Hendrick organization makes me sick.
