Re: NASCAR thread
Well, Nascar has finally done it. Plain Vanilla Drivers, Plain Vanilla cars & Plain Vanilla 1.5 mile tracks, now you can add Bristol the ho-hum ranks of Plain Vanilla racing. I have been to every Bristol race (spring & night) since 1994 and can say that Saturdays race was the most BORING race (not just Bristol) that I have ever seen. I'll bet there were 25,000 people asleep in the crowd, I can't imagine how many people watching on TV turned the channel or fell asleep. SHEEEZ Louise, Please give me back the old Bristol Motor Speedway where rubbin was racing. It was great that Carl won (I only like FORD drivers), but hey, I have seen more action watching the traffic cameras from the interstate. Dale Ernhardt, Benny Parsons, Davey Allison & Alan Kulwicki are rolling over at the state of NASCAR.
End of my rant.....

Re: NASCAR thread
Actually I though last year's night race was more boring (I stayed awake the entire time this year lol). The problem with this year was the two lanes of racing because of the new concrete so no one had to do the suicide squeeze getting into the corners (plus the harder Goodyear tires lasted too long). Not disagreeing with the Vanilla aspect for sure however. The Busch race on the other hand was fantastic I thought with it being the expected crash fest...and in fact I'm finding the truck and Busch races to be more entertaining this year.

Re: NASCAR thread
Man what a bad wreck for the 88, I hope the kid's leg is ok. He was running a good race too, before being blind sided.

Re: NASCAR thread
No lie. I thought he'd cleared the initial incident, but man did he get clocked! Seeing him ride the top of the wall on fire is scary. Hate to see that he had to go out on a stretcher, I hope he's only shaken up. Whatta hit!

Re: NASCAR thread
This is a bad year for the Biff.
He was points racing with Newman and now Newman is out with some engine issues. They may want to fix Biffles car.

Re: NASCAR thread
I gotta blame some pit box spotters for that, why can't Juan run into shrub so it can be a win win for me.

Re: NASCAR thread
Dang, and it sure looked like Carl might have been able to catch JJ. Oh well, let's hope Carl's momentum keeps going after the Chase starts.

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm I fell asleep with about 20 laps to go.
Going back a few post, I agree with the Bristol thing. THEY RUINED IT!!!! They may have made it better racing for the drivers but they always say that the fans are what makes the sport. If it were a safety issue, then yeah, change it, but that wasn't the case. Bristol was known for the bumping, wrecking, and high tempers. That's the reason they are sold out 6 or 7 years in advance and now they took it all away. I think some people will be giving up their Bristol tickets in the near future.

I hope they do, I would rather see the good racing. I don't mind some bumping and shoving but can live without the wrecks. You are dead on with your analysis --- most fans would rather see the conflict.

Re: NASCAR thread
No need to be upset. The final lap looked exactly like 20 to go lol.... I really do dislike Kalifornia. I'd still be on the ceiling if the race was still at Darlington!

Re: NASCAR thread
It's criminal what they did to Darlington --- I hope they never sell out CA.

Re: NASCAR thread
Told you guys,
GIBBS GOES TO TOYOTA! Press Confrence at 11 today http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm#news99 Just typical and exactly what Roush said, "they are just going to come in and throw cubic dollars at everything". They cant make it work on their own (i.e. Hack MWR) so they essentially are going to buy Gibbs! Funny though after Gibbs was one of the primary designers/developers of the new dominant RO7 Chevy Engine. At least I am in Mexico City, and wont be bombarded by the Toyota loving media reporting this story ten ways to sunday! However, is Nascar really relevant as an Motorsport anymore? To me, it has become WWF on wheels. |

Re: NASCAR thread
Supposedly Tony Stewart is pretty ticked about it. Say what you want about him but he is an Indiana boy at heart and grew up a loyal Chevy lover. I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves Gibbs over this. This is kind of like Ford trading the Mustang to Chevy and forcing all of us Ford nuts to be owners of a Chevy Mustang....

Re: NASCAR thread
Nascar ia a relevant Motorsport. The next Bobby Allison or Darrell Waltrip could be Tony Stewart, or Kevin Harvick, or either of the Busch brothers. Who knows. I agree it is getting awfully expensive to be a fan. I'm not a fan of Toyota being in the sport, and if they ever become dominant, that might be the last straw for me. We'll see...

Re: NASCAR thread
Just imagine if Jr. signed on with Gibbs!?! Then had to drive a Toyota! Rednecks would be burnin' #8 flags at their "meetins".
Not a big fan of Stewrat, but I'd hate it for him to have to drive Japcrap!

Re: NASCAR thread
Yes and no. Before last year, I averaged about $500 just for me to see a Nascar race. Tickets for Busch and Cup race, practices and qualifying, camping spot, food, alcohol, long roadtrip to get there so gas cost a good amount. Last year I went with my dad and some cousins who have connections. Total cost: $120. That was for food, alcohol, infield RV spot for 3 days. Like everything else, it's who you know. Doing it again at Kansas in 3 weeks.
