If there were more people in this world who were former felons(or never convicted persons) do what he has done to other people and charity this world would be a better place. My family has personally been touched by this man when a nephew of mine as a child was fighting a potentially terminal illness. His charity and donations I believe helped him be here today. I can't think of a driver, owner, or team member in Nascar who can or has ever said one bad thing about him. As for those teams sucking wind. Johnson seems to be turning it around real quick. And don't expect the #24 car to have another race like that. Blast him all you want, hate him all you want, but the fact is he is one of the greatest drivers to ever sit in the wheel of a race car. And yes it is always nice to see Carl Edwards do a back flip. Good driver, good guy. |

Re: NASCAR thread
Not unless they bless him with another car like the one he had yesterday. I wouldn't blame him if he'd put the thing into the wall on purpose. (I know he didn't, but I still would not have blamed him if he had). From what he was saying, and the way he was running (and yes, I know he's a better driver than what we saw in Texas) they must have installed the carburator upside down or had the tailpipes plugged. That thing was a DOG! I can't imagine how Hendricks could have had such a group of other good running cars (including the first loser, Johnson) and saddled Gordon with that brick?

Re: NASCAR thread
Newman takes the pole (but not like Jimmie and Jeff take a pole), we have a driver racing on drugs, and Kyle Petty fails to qualify. Just another week in NASCAR, I guess...
Edwards for another win, with Mark in second, Biffle third!

Re: NASCAR thread
This is not exactly breaking news but I just noticed it. I have a friend who is also an NASCAR inspector who knew her.
Female NASCAR Official dies in auto accident, she worked in the engine department and was a good wrench according to my friend. She started with DEI and was kind of attractive. RIP http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/head...ent/index.html

Re: NASCAR thread
I agree....what was once a blue collar sport had now become this high dollar crap shoot full of big name celebrities....I don't like where Nascar is going either but atleast my boy Carl is kicking some tail this year. I feel another backflip coming on in Phoenix tonight!

That dude is firing it up! Would explain his mood swings. Jeff could be the poster boy for Nascars be clean scene. Jimmy looks like a snorter. Jr. probably burning 'em to. Kyle is an old school acid hitter and is probably burning one when he does his charity rides.

I guess the one and two man teams no longer have a chance in today's NASCAR. Take a look at Yates, can't even find sponsorship for the 38. Petty too!!! And don't get me started on the Car or Tomorrow, COT, or Car of Today. Whoever coined that phrase should be castrated. Anyway, hopefully the 99 can bring another victory for Ford. |

Re: NASCAR thread
A Nationwide/Truck series driver named Aaron Fike. He was busted for doing coke in a parkign lot, and then admited to doing heroin the day of a race! This has shaken up a lot of racers...and a lot of fans as well...

Re: NASCAR thread

Re: NASCAR thread
Jeeez, another Shane Hmiel. I wonder how big of a problem it is? I guess that's the one facet NASCAR cannot control.

Re: NASCAR thread
Yeah, they can. If pro golfers are getting piss tested, you can bet sooner or later Nascar will be doing the same thing. Who wants to be next to someone whacked on a heroin high.

Re: NASCAR thread
I would have loved to see MM win but at least it was exciting at the end. Great night for Bobby Labonte finishing so well with a sick motor. Carl and Biff did ok too.

Re: NASCAR thread
It's called great driver, great crew chief, and one heck of a gamble. Way to go team Hendricks. :HOPPY: Here's one for you Gordon haters. What is even more impressive than Gordons 81 wins(sixth all time and only 3 away from being third on the list) is his involvement with the Make a Wish Foundation. I had no idea that he has granted over 200 requests from potentially terminally ill children since his involvement with the Foundation in 1995. Hate him you do, but that is impressive. |

It's the nature of NASCAR that the favorite to win is often thought of as the bad guy. DW was hated worse than jeffy until Dale Sr nearly killed him and Rusty spun him out blatently. Then it eased up some. So I think the best thing for jeffy would be for somebody to put him in the wall hard a couple of times and spin him out on the last lap while leading a few times after that. It would really be for the best.

That's a great cause, and I applaude him for his involvement with it. That said...it was really mean of him to give Matt Kenseth his car from last week. There's no way that clunker could have been anything else. Those are the two worst car I've ever seen on a track, ever! I guess Jimmie has lost races he shoudl have won, now he's won a race he should have lost. Good runs for the Biff and Edwards (except for that pit road gaff). Can't wait to see 'Dega in two weeks...
