Re: NASCAR thread
No lie! That was a mess...TWICE! I wonder who will fill in for Franchitti (Mr. Ashley Judd), who was injured during the Nationwide race, but qualified last for the Cup race?

Re: NASCAR thread

Re: NASCAR thread
That was actually one of the more boring plate races I've seen. Towards the end it got really interesting with the 3,4 wide racing. That's what I love about Daytona and Talladega. I think it's just amazing the talent it takes drive those cars just a foot or so apart. After 20 years of plate racing I think people would have stopped whining already and accepted it. I could have gone to this race if it was'nt for a miscommunication between my dad and me. He thought I could'nt get the time off to go to this race.

Re: NASCAR thread
At this point, it looks like Gibbs Racing got the better of the Jr/Busch deal.

I would have to agree. Jr is a very good driver but he has never been a great driver and is getting to old to be a great driver. On the other hand, Busch(he's still an azz hole) is just a kid with a lot of talent and a big future. I hate to say this, but I think he is going to be the next big name in Nascar. Even if he ever approaches the alltime winners the likes of Petty(ok no one will ever do that), David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip, Cale Yarborough, Jeff Gordon(sorry guys, he's among the best), and Dale Sr. I'll always dislike this punk. That goes for his Dumbo earred brother as well. |

Re: NASCAR thread
I went to the local short track last night and Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin both raced in the late models. This was the first time Kyle has seen the track and he ended up winning the pole and the race. The guy can definetly drive.

Re: NASCAR thread
I see Carl has signed a three year contract extention with R/F. Biffle sounds like he's happy in his position. Sounds like we've got a sold team for a few years to come.
Qualifying today??? All screwed up. Should be a mess tomorrow night...

Re: NASCAR thread
Seems like after every race I can't stand Kyle Busch more than the race before. I get sick and tired of his whinning and poor loser attitude when he don't win. How does a class guy in Joe Gibbs wind up with two azz's like Stewart and Busch?

I had my fears that Harvick would have turned out like bigears but I think he's over that phase of his career.

Re: NASCAR thread
As I said earlier, every week I can't stand Kyle Busch more than the week before. Knock out one of the Hendricks cars and I dislike him even more. Tough break for Jr.
Tough break for Hamlin, but tough. That's what you get for driving a Toyota. As for Gordon, not a bad finish with all the problems with that car and starting in last. |

Re: NASCAR thread
That wreck at the end of the race was nothing but hard racing. The replay to me looked like Earnhardt Jr. was coming down and Busch was going alittle high and they met. I like neither teams and that's the way it looked to me. It was all right to see Bowyer win. He just stays quiet and does his job.

BigEars drove in too hard, got loose, and wrecked Jr. I'm not a fan of either but that was a bonehead move. He hit him and then had to spin him in an effort to not spin himself, it was clearly his screw up. He should have been man enough to admit it after seeing the replay. If you can't control your car well enough to not hit the other driver, it's your fault and yes that's racing but be able to admit when you get in over your head and cause crap. Compare how Mark worked on bigears the last two laps, a world of difference in the class involved. Mark could have moved him on several occasions but did not.

Re: NASCAR thread
I think Kurt is way different than bigears and you are right.
