I think Waltrip just needs to park it....whens the last time he finished a race on the lead lap...or finished one period? It was cool to see Fords 1-2-3 at the end.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

And as a postscript (and notice NASCAR has not touted this fact), the winner of the Daytona 500 is not only not the points leader (that would be Carl Edwards), nor would he win the championship should he win every race for the rest of the season. Because he is registered in the Nationwide series for his points, he garners no points in the Cup series regardless of how well he does. Has France & Co. shot themselves in the foot again?

Glad Ford wins and I got my free Taco at Taco bell if the 34# Ford was in top 10 you free taco love see 21 won 1st time in 10 years:ANGEL:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Looks like the reason the FR9 was delayed
was due to additional cooling system development.
Good call by Robert and Doug Yates.
It just paid off handsomely.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

By the looks of the run that Carl had at the end, I would have to agree.

In an addendum to my earlier rant about the new points system, it is not only the Cup series that is founled up as of the first race of the season, but all three. The winner of each series race this past weekend was by someone not registered to accumulate points in the series they won in, so in all cases the leaders in each series did not win their race. Can this get any goofier?

yes!!!!!!!!

The new Chapionship trophy will be the "Brian France" trophy.
Not really a trophy, but a vase with one pansy in it.
Wilted, and leaning to the left.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

So (and I do really want to make this as completely confusing as it can be) do the owners/manufacturers still get the points? Will there be an apology at the end of season by the Champion if the actual points leader is not the same person? Could we see a Hyundai/Kia car or even a Car of The Day After Tomorrow?

Carl's Jr,s #21 going race the Mustang for 18 races in NW with Motorcraft on it,

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I would think. Last year they were bragging how cool those engines were gonna run and then about every car that had them was overheating.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I watched out of curiosity and to see the Thunderbirds. To me they were not racing....they were riding around in pairs like Olympics ice skaters. Seems like the second car had to speed up and the first car had to slow down so they could hook up to go faster.

That ain't racing. :anger:

I certainly hope this a one track phenomenon!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Big congrats to the Ford guys for taking the first four spots on the grid for todays race.

Happy to see Mark win the N/W race on Saturday, and a tip of the hat to Danica for her fourth place finish.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Wasn't that the best finish by any female driver in that sereiers?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yes, the previous best was a 5th back in 1949.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Is it Robby Gordon's goal to spin out in every race. He seems to spin out every weekend. Most of the time it's his own fault.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

How 'bout that flippin' Carl?!? Great finish for the Fords, that's two out of three for the year. Not a bad start.

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

apparently he had other things on his mind.....

Re: NASCAR thread
 

How fouled up is the new points system? There have been three winners this year, and only one of them is in the top 10 in points...(at least it is Carl)...

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm not too sure how this points system is going to work out either. I guess we'll see how it plays out as the season goes.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Here's best thing from Bristol,

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Bristol sure isn't like it used to be. That's for sure.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Lots of fans disguised as empty seats.
You asked for it, you got it, toiletta!
Will Brian "the pansy" France ever figure it out?
