Re: NASCAR thread
All I can say is that the Lawers are loving this. The first person to get hurt or killed Nascar will be out of busness.

Re: NASCAR thread
I too think Carl should have used a lot better judgment in what he did. At those speeds, anything can happen.

Re: NASCAR thread
Wow. That was a pretty wild finish after Hamlin made what I thought was an insane pit stop with 8 laps or so left. I thought Gordon might have had a lock up win, but he got shoved out of the way.

Re: NASCAR thread
So is Gordon gonna get put on probation too after his post race comment....when he said "I made sure he didn't win the race" referring to Kenseth...how is that any different than Carl booting BK so he didn't win? I don't get Nascar anymore...if certain people they like do certain things it's never a problem...This sport has gone to crap!

Edwards was 153 laps down when he intentionally took out a driver on a 1.5 mile track with speeds approaching 200mph. This move put BK's life at risk, other drivers lives at risk, and spectator lives at risk. Kenseth and Gordon(notice both) were bumping and rubbing on a .5 mile track (also the shortest track in Nascar) and fighting for position and trying for a win at around 100mph. It was not a 1.5 mile track with speeds over 200mph (there it is Big Ron), no drivers lives were at risk and no spectators lives were at stake. Both Kenseth and Gordon were fighting for position. A quote from Days of Thunder: Cole Trickle: Yeah, well this son of a bi*** just slammed into me. Harry Hogge: No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'. Sorry, big difference in Martinsville between Gordon/Kenseth than what happened a few weeks ago in Atlanta. I'm not saying it's right, but that is how it's always been at these .5 mile tracks. |

Re: NASCAR thread
Looks like we (Ford) will be losing Kasey Kahne (again) to Hendricks after this season. He'll probably drive Stewart/Haas next year and then go to the main team, replacing Mark in the #5 car.

With the crap he pulled before with Ford, I say good riddance.

Re: NASCAR thread
His history wiht Ford is certaily tainted, and I'm wondering if that had anythign to do with him jumping ship. I'm only hoping that the bandwagon he's jumping on starts to fall apart at the seams. The Hendricks juggernaut is definitly a bad thing for the overall enjoyment of the 'sport'.

Re: NASCAR thread
What are the TV ratings like nowadays?
Bet they suck. And when is the FR9 engine going to be used by all Ford teams?

Re: NASCAR thread
The FR9 had been pulled for the last few races. Don't know what's up, but wiht the lackluster performance of all of the Ford teams of late, it obviously needs some work.

Re: NASCAR thread
Guess you didn't make it.....sorry to hear that. It did look like a good crowd for a Monday though. DMN listed attendance as 92,500. Dale Jr is good, just everybody else is better. They just left him standing still at the finish. Glad to see the 24 in the wall. Good win for Hamlin!

Re: NASCAR thread
The best part of the race was Gordon egging Johson on over the radio. I think the comment was somethign ot effect of 'Mr. Four-time not liking' a particular move Gordon put on him. Too bad none of the Ford can seem to put together any kind of race. Really frustrating.

Re: NASCAR thread
I went to the Texas race back in '02. On Sunday it was like a tropical storm going on. While my one friend drove, me and my other friend proceeded to get trashed while we did a 3 hour circle around the outside of the track waiting for them to cancel the race. It was great. Came back the next day and saw the race.

Re: NASCAR thread
ASSCAR is so boring now, it is really getting pathetic.
There was a time when I could not wait to watch or go to the race, now I couldn't care less. Now Waltrip kisses Toiletta's rear end every chance he gets. Absoluely sickening. Brian the pansy France really ruined it.

Re: NASCAR thread
The race yesterday was pretty quiet until the wreck at the end. If it's a Saturday night race, I can pretty much watch the whole race and be interested, but most of the Sunday races I just catch bits and pieces. Yeah, you've got alot of room to stretch out in the grandstands now at the tracks. I remember going to afew races back 10 years ago and you practically shoe-horned yourself into your seat.

Re: NASCAR thread
That was actually a good race. And it's nice to hear that Gordon has jumped off of the JJ bandwagon and is now alongside the rest of us in hatin' on JJ & Co.

Re: NASCAR thread
That was a good race. I always enjoy the restrictor plate races. From the wrecking standpoint, it's almost inevidable. I also look at the talent it takes to keep those cars 1ft. apart at 200mph. Blows my mind. The second big wreck before the end of the race happened right in front of where I would have been camped in the infield. We camp right at the fenceline of turn 3@4. Glad to see Johnson and Gordon can't get out of each others way. :LAUGH:
