BigEars gets the win. Carl almost made it last to the end. :worship:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Last to 1st and Yota geta the victory !
Hometown hero today .

Re: NASCAR thread
 

At least he won't get credit for the 43rd to 1st. I just don't like the guy because of his crappy attitude. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I was hoping Kenseth would pull off another win and put himself in the record book for winning the first 3 races. Well obviously we found out early in the race that it wasn't going to happen.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Certianly not the ending I was hoping for, but I am certain there are some Ford engines that are now torn apart and phone calls being made due to parts failures. With Matt, Regan, and Edwards having total engine failures and Biffles engine being suspect toward the end, there is somethign seriously wrong going on. I know there were issues with the Hendrick engines last week, so somethign is amiss somewhere.

It was good to see Carroll being interviewed and featured in the small portion they did dedicate to him and his cars, but it still eats at me that they could identify the pace cars correctly.

Glad I missed it.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

There's still hope for us Bobby Labonte fans. Plus now he's driving a Ford!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Bobby really showed well, but I have to give the driver of the day award to Jamie McMurray. He saved his own car (and his behind) be driving a quarter lap in drift mode...and did it well.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think the Shebly GT500KR 40th Anniv Model should it won the race how many times when around the racetrack:worship:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Shelby should at least get the bonus point for leading the most laps!

The cars that paced both races were '07 and '09 GT500 Super Snakes. These are actually privately owned cars!!! How cool would that be to have the actual cars that paced the races?!? The cars were some of the first to have the Shelby 427 packages completed on the 427 cars that it will be done on. Then there was a drawing held to see which cars would be used.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good NASCAR website, as far as news and updates? I really have never been a big fan of NASCAR.com and with the overhaul, it seems to have even less news and real information other than features on the race winners. I'd like to see if I can find out what they found as far as the faulty pieces that sidelined and crippled the Roush cars.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Ford is sending a 2010 GT 500 Pace Car to the 45th Anniversary. It will lead the convoy to the cruise-in at Homewood, Al. An Alabama State Trooper, who is in our local club, will get to do the honors of driving it that night.

Thanks for the link. Someone had told me about them long ago and I just could not think of it. Very much appreciated!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm not so sure I understand this statement. I'm assuming that you are speaking as someone who dislikes these drivers instead of someone who realizes that JJ has won three championships in a row and JG has 4 championships and is one of the alltime winners in Nascar. I'd say if it were over that was one heck of a honeymoon.
I will agree with you on Dale Jr. Overrated and living off of a legends name. As for Richard Petty overrated????? You could say a lot of things about him but with 200 wins overrated. I guess you could say that because he failed to win 300.

Most of Jr. Nation are fans who cheer for him because they can't let it go that Sr. is gone. As you said, he is a good driver who brings in money for Nascar. But week in and week out he sticks his head right up his :butt: and does something stupid that cost's him track position.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Wow, is ASSCAR still around?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:23: I guess not.
No one has even posted anything about yesterdays race.
I do'nt care but who won?

Go to your local track and see REAL RACING.
Where finding ways to make more speed is expected not ruled out.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

When I was watching the race last week D.W. said next week was a week off, so I did'nt even bother to look for the race. I guess he meant it was a week off for Fox coverage. :24:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

His lips and :butt: were still sore from his visit to Toiletta HQ.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

With D W the Lips and:butt: are the same thing.:23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

One thing I've noticed the past few weeks is the commentators mention Sunoco fuel alot when they come in for a pit stop. They never use to do that. Wonder what their paying them to say that.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Believe me.. product placement is not a mistake on FOX!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It's no mistake and it's nothing new. When I was a boy :23: Goodyear was NOT the only tire and you would have some Firestone announcers and Goodyear announcers calling the same race. It was some funny stuff. MRN took care of most of that but then they went sole source for tires, fuel, and several other things so the announcer wars ended. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

What do you think of the guy running out to get the tire? Yes it was a really stupid thing to do but people keep saying that "he" ruined the race for a lot of drivers cause he brought out the caution. Although that may be somewhat true, I don't entirely agree with it. Wouldn't the caution flag have come out anyway whether he ran out there or not?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yes --------------- they're just whinin :smokin:
