[QUOTE=ylopony;980252] Way to go team Hendricks. :QUOTE]


Anyone else just hate to see someone on a Ford Website cheering for a Chevy?......I know I do

[falcongtho3]

Yeah, but he's pretty cool about it, and he alredy knows that he's going to catch flak anythime the Chevys lose, and an unbreakable wall on the rare occasion they win...

I can understand your opinion. I've mentioned before that I don't cheer for a manufacturer. Well, ok that is not quite true. I hate Toyota. I follow the drivers. Well ok that is not quite true either. When Jarrett went to Toyota that was it for me.

If Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt, Edwards, or Kenseth(in that order of favoritism) went to a Toyota that would be it for me.

As for a fan of Ford. I own a Mustang, Lincoln MKZ, and the wife drives a Chevy Malibu SS. I'm a fan of American auto companies. If it's Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Infinity, Acura, Hyundai and etc I want nothing to do with it. I won't drive it. I won't buy it. And it won't park in my driveway either.

But as mentioned already, I try to be in good taste here and know that I'm going to get a real ball busting for being a fan of the Hendricks camp.

We love you for it to.

[ylopony]

Sorry about this one as well.

[ylopony]

Sorry for the double post. I have no idea how to do the multi quote. LOL

Don't worry, Helton has announced the new NASCAR drug testing policy, and it will include fans. Since you've been double posting, it's obvious that you're posting under the influence ( P.U.I. ), so we're going to nominate you for the first round of PUI testing as a representative of the Registry.

I'm a huge Bobby Labonte fan. I'm hoping he'll make the jump to RCR, and revive his career like Jeff Burton has. He's the only guy I like so much that I'd still root for in a Toyota, if he ever went that direction. However, I wouldn't buy anymore of his souveneirs.

I will admit I've had a few of the barley and hops in liquid form this evening.

Here's something that I forgot to ask. Did all of you get stuck watching the Redsox/Yankee's game when they should have been televising the pre race and start of the race. I missed the first 3 laps because of this. I love baseball but I don't give a rats AZZ about these two teams in the monthy of April. Perhaps September but not now. No offense to you fans of these teams.

I was pissed at first, but it was a good game to watch. I really do not care for some of the pre-race crap.

So your VW got parked on the street?

Here we not only missed the first two or three laps due to baseball coverage, but then the dingbats switched over to the race before the last out in the game, with 2 outs and a full count! Can you say 'Heidi'? So they mangaged to screw over two sports in a matter of minutes. I'm not a B-B fan, but I know that there are at least six or seven out there, and I'm sure at least half of them were watching.

I bought into all that media crap about how great some of the imports were and how great of a family car the Passat was. That was a miserable car. It was my first and last import. That was the shortest period I ever owned a car(about 16 months) We all make mistakes or change our views on things. If it's not GM, Dodge, or Ford I won't have a title in my name with it.

[gvervoren]

unfortunatly, a lot of Fords have Mazda motors in them. At least they used to.

[02mach1]

bursh won in Mexico in this toy.

[ylopony]

There couldn't be anything I hate more than watching an Azz like Busch win driving a Toyota in Mexico.(something about Nascar, Toyota, and Mexico that I just don't like). As for Busch, I just don't like the jerk, even at Hendricks I hated him.

Come one you Gordon haters, you gotta hate this worse.

I agree 110% with you.

I just can't believe that Hendricks would dump such a talented, and high class driver like Busch to pick up a redneck wannabe like Earnhardt. With Kyle gone, there's no way they'll ever win another Cup championship.
Their loss...

[mstng680365]

what do you guys think of this story?

http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/head...gle.html#page2

Looks like ford might be using the mustang body in the nationwide series.

Maybe a camaro for GM.

And could be a challenger for dodge.

That series could take over if those cars actually end up looking like "stock" cars again.

[pic18]

I'd love to see a Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger make up the Nationwide series. That alone would make me pay more attention to that series. I don't think they will look much like street cars though.

[FEARED]

stock cars would rock! I would definatly watch more Nation Wide series.

[gvervoren]

Mustangs in NASCAR would be awesome!!!

[falcongtho3]

I'd love to see the Mustang/Camaro/Challenger deal fly. Tht would be a shot in the arm that stock car (emphasis on stock) racing needs!

On anothe note:

Stewrat to leave JGR???

I would love to see this happen as well. If this were to happen even I would have a tough time rooting for a #24 Camaro.

As for Tony Stewart leaving JGR, I think it's a real possibility. I don't really think that Stewart was all that happy with the Toiletta deal. That and how could you possible enjoy having a teammate like Kyle Busch. Even if you are an idiot like Stewart. Now if he were to join Hendricks I may have to change my opinion of Stewart. LOL

[ylopony]

It should turn out to be an interesting race. That is until after all the go or go home qualifiers that qualified in the front take out much of the field.

I'm not real big on these impound races. I hate where all these hasbeen or wanna be meatballs set up the cars to qualify strong or go home, while the top teams set up their cars in race day setup and qualify lower down. They do this knowing that afterwards Nascar impounds the car and you race with that setup. As a result these lower teams cars blow up early because they are not set to run a long race or they take out a bunch of cars because they don't have the talent to race the car up there to begin with.

Either eliminate impounding races or better yet Nascar, get rid of the automatic top 35. All cars should be qualify or go home.

With that I'm not even going to predict who is going to win this race. Just like yesterdays Nationwide race in a matter of seconds 20 cars can be wiped out. But here's hoping a Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt 1-2-3 finish.
