Re: NASCAR thread
What ever it is, Ill watch. My tickets for martinsville should be here anytime.

We have start/finish line seats for both martinsville and the Charlotte cup races. Charlottle Motor Speedway is an Awesome Facility if youve never been there, go. Ill probably go to Richmond as well. I got NASCAR fever.

Re: NASCAR thread
Martinsville was a great track because everything is within very short walking distance. We were about 100 yards or so from the track to our camping spot. Definitely the most hillbilly track I've been to.

Re: NASCAR thread
Looks a preview of next weekends crash-fest.
No mention in the pre-race of Chads 'indescrection'?!? And no penalty until after the 500??? What's up with that?

Re: NASCAR thread
You've got cars doing half nut to butt racing, and half freight train racing. That aint gonna mix well at all.

Re: NASCAR thread
Gordon is such an idiot. If he blocks you, it's ok. If you block him he either wrecks you or whines about being blocked after the race. I saw that wreck coming a mile away.

Re: NASCAR thread
Gordon has always been a cry baby, one of the reasons I have no respect for him. He b*tches about EVERYTHING. I hate pack racing, I'm in between with tandem, why can't we have normal racing on dega/daytona like at tracks like charlotte/atlanta/vegas etc etc.

Re: NASCAR thread
If the 500 is like the Bud Shootout I'll definitely watch it. I thought it was a good race. I like the freight train racing, but I've only been following Nascar since 1996, so I never saw non-restrictor plate in the 70's and 80's. I only watched the Indy 500 back then.

Re: NASCAR thread
Agreed. The kid is an amazing driver, too bad he is such an a**hole, maybe that can change, but I doubt it. And restrictor plates suck. The cars are plenty safe now that they don't need them. I like speedweeks and the Daytona 500, but super speedway racing needs to go back to the ways of the 70/80s, where raw HP really won the race. Makes sense though, Ford made the most, so nascar had to limit that...

Re: NASCAR thread
A talented Azz.
that was one expensive night for about 1/2 the teams. Good run by Ambrose, and Biffle showed some real strength as well.

Re: NASCAR thread

Proof that there is no justice in the world: Meatloaf lost his voice at the hight of his popularity, derailing his career and Darrell Waltrip keeps his year after year.

Re: NASCAR thread
You can bet Nascar will put a stop to the bump drafting Before Thursdays Twin 125's, to much money tore up out there in the shootout.
Back in the Petty,Pearson,Baker days if you watched they would dump draft down the straight aways, But would always back off some in the turns, Its like common sense if you push someone into a turn you will spin, I don't get it. And at that speed your on the edge the way it is ,Just back off some simple. |

I know, if you let off the gas, the pack will run you over and cause the BIG ONE. The old guys ran nose to tail in long trains and it was a rarity that when one guy made a mistake, it would take out half the field. I still enjoyed the race, cause they can't run the 2x2 thing. The 2x2 thing sucked. As much as I dislike PEE-WEE.....that was a great move. A sling-shot move for the win, that the old guys would be proud of.

Watch an old race. IF you can seriously sit there and tell me the racing was better your crazy lol. Hell cars won by ten laps, not ten feet. They also tried limiting bump drafting and it ruined the racing as well because the drivers drove in a line for most of the race with no passing. Leave it alone IMO. Plus if you take the plates the cars will be in my lap when I go to a race. These cars don't produce downforce like an Indy car. Hell I think at speed you can drive an INDY car upsidedown. Thats why all these open wheel drives have such problems switching over. LOL end rant.

As far as plate racing goes, I get it. You got to keep the cars out of the stands. The most exciting race I ever watched ,was Wild Bill Elliott Making up 2 laps on the field on his own at Taladaga. With plate racing, you will never see that happen again.

Exactly. I was at the Talladega race in '09. Unrestrict them and then you've actually got a race car into the stands killing a thousand people.

Re: NASCAR thread
Agreed, but I prefer he wins a race with zero points, so I could care less.
He is still a twat waffle and I only wish that Gordon could have taken him out in that wreck.

Re: NASCAR thread
Twat waffle or not, He can drive. I'm not a fan of him either, but he sure can drive. I wanted anyone BUT stewart to win, and I give KB credit for winning by racing, and not the imfamous tap and run.
