Re: NASCAR thread
 

the real question is........will the #88 make the Chase?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

He will not

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I hate the chase format. It would surprise me if he got in. They might have to do a fan vote in for him. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I stopped watching asscar simply because the chase is ridiculous!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

He's overrated. He's got really big shoes to fill, and I don't see it happening this year or anytime soon. Sorry junior but you're my last pick even if you are popular.

the biff on fire, fastest in the first two practice, ford not runnng the new engine this week.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Edwards on the pole, Biff on fire, this could be a very good weekend for the blue oval teams.

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Overrated is an understatement.

There is even a website dedicated to his unsuccessful career. He's only popular because of his name. Sorry Jr. fans, that's the truth and you know it!!!!

Haters are gonna hate!

Im a 88 fan, but i would aslo be suprised if he made the chase.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

That's fine if your a #88 fan cause at least you are realistic. A lot of Jr. nation would say that he WILL make it into the chase. I just don't like his fans that always say or think that Jr. is the best out there.

I like him as a person and he doesn't drive like an idiot but he is not the most talented driver out there. Again this link puts it in perspective.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm a fan too, but this year is he is showing what he really is..........just an average race car driver back in 25th to 35th place in almost every race. Even his mistakes are just average!

And he'll NEVER make the Chase!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Well, here goes another race day. Michigan.

What's eveyone elses take on this joint? Me, I don't care much for it. Little too wide and smooth. Just not alot of character. Too many setups can work well here and that makes it too easy for alot of cars to compete and hitting on a specific setup(which I believe is important/fun for each track to have it's own setup) not as crucial as say a track like Bristol or Texas.

What's y'alls opinions? Let's hear 'em!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It'll always be a mixed emotion track for me as it was the first track I went to to attend a race. I never did get to see the race as it was rained out for two days and I had to fly home that Monday. Fortunately the Dream Cruise the day before had spectacular weather, so the trip was a good one as far as I was concerned. It's a big place with a wide area to actually race, so I'll give it a thumbs up. I'd like to return one day for an actual race.
Go, go, go...anyone but JJ!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Almost always alot of green flag racing. Boring for watching on tv. I went to the Michigan race back in 2000. Was near the top in turn 3. Great seats. Could see the whole track without ever having to stand up. They ran 199 laps and a monster downpour canceled the last lap.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Typical COT race today. Car out front leads by 3+ seconds to the checkered. Zzzzzzzzzzzz....

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The truck race at Darlington was good. That's a place that couldn't be more different than Michigan. A 27 foot groove compared to 5 wide racing. :worship:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:yes: more bangforthebuck entertainment wise.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Well it was boring just like I thought. Too wide, too smooth. Bristol next week ain't gonna be boring though I assure you! Lol. They're also gonna have that new grabber blue '11 5.0 pace car that someone posted on here they saw on the street in front of the sign shop after getting it's decals.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yeah it will. 2 wide at Bristol is proof that Brian France is the Anti-Christ! :anger:

The last good Bristol race was August of 2003 before the Chase was implemented and EVERY driver was racing for the win and not trying to protect their points. And I was there. :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I was talking to my dad afew days ago and he said he's going to the Bristol race. Tickets are no problem to find now, but it's not the same track it use to be. Worth going to say you've been there.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

it looked like there was alot of empty seats at michigan yesterday. my sleeper pick for the week was david reagan pulled a 11th not bad.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The ASSCAR problem is Toyota being there.
Period.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

ya i like sat race with the challenger, stang racin. chevy and toyota cars got no class. why isnt chevy running a camaro? was sorta cool when post race comments from carl e saying "ya my ford mustang ran great today" lol.

Re: NASCAR thread

Re: NASCAR thread
