NASCAR thread

Look where I went yesterday. I know its not a Ford driver but Ive always been a die hard RCR fan. We are going to Hendrick today and maybe a couple others.

Are you going to any of the races this weekend?

I understand that there will be a Carroll Shelby tribute car in the Nationwide race. It'll be a black/gold Mustang with the #98 on it.

[falcongtho3]

Does this mean I have to root for JR tomorrow????

We went to the Coke 600. Never made it to the Nationwide Race. We stayed in Lexington NC on a lake and ate at place called Cooks BBQ every day. The food cant be beat and the prices are cheap. I got a huge NY strip for 10.99. Plus their BBQ and sweet tea are amazing.

Since this thread has come up, was I the only one who thought A) the all star race format SUCKS, race 30 laps, why even bother watching the first 80 laps? and B) Was it just me, or was the coke 600 INCREDIBLY boring this year? Like there was little to no excitement, even with biff leading a ton of the race, it was still very mediocre. How many cars ended up on the lead lap? Something like 10? I don't like crashing, but a little action/boys have at it on the track is good for the sport...

It seems like they've changed the way the All-Star race is run all the time. One year it's this amount of laps, the next year it's jumbled up again. I think it's a good race to watch. I actually watched the Indy 500, which I have'nt done in at least 30 years. When it got to the Coke 600 I fell asleep for about 3-4 hours and caught the last 50 laps. Good to see Kaine win, and leave E Jr. in the basement as usual on that team.

Would they just show the **** race already . I KNOW how a race car works and I don't give a **** about Twitter. Get the "wifey" tweets off the freakin' screen! Right now less than half of my screen is showing...wait...ok NOW the race is...oh...wait...caution. Well at least I got to miss that two laps before the caution due to the pit stop footage. Why do I even bother. Maybe I should just put the radio on.

Still prefer the TNT broadcast over hearing the FOX annoucers sucking hendrick's c*ck every race...

[311-420]

Cannot stand pettys commentary. Its a good thing I've got a bucket of margaritas here......

[Thunderbolt]

Both Kyle Petty and Michael Waltrip drive me crazy. I like a champion in the booth. Be it D.W., Rusty Wallace, Jarrett, or any former champ. They've been to the top and know what it takes to win it all. Petty and Dallenbach are the scrubs.

[Rice_slayer]

DW is F*cking annoying and will do anything to suck hendrick's c*ck it seems. I like the TNT cast, minus the random robotic voices I get every now and then from a weak budget lol. Terrible performance by the RFR group tonight though, I hope Carl turns it around, he will always be my favourite driver, Ford or not!

[Thunderbolt]

Then DW is getting DP'ed because he likes to talk Toyota up the wazoo. I just shrug off all his Hendricks and Toyota drivel. I like his commentary during the race. All the announcers are top notch on Fox I think.

[falcongtho3]

Sad night for the Fords. Kahne had the car of the night, even if he didn't win.

[WalkrTexasRngr]

Heres a little debate that should get people riled up. Bruton Smith knows how to run a racetrack for sure but he needs to keep his nose out of the inner workings of NASCAR IMO.

The worst part is Biffle somewhat agrees with this idiocy. Makes me even less of a fan of his. If you ever heard the way he speaks to his crew on the radio you wouldnt respect him either.

[Thunderbolt]

It's the nature of the sport with 400-600 mile distances. Drop it down to 250-300 mile races then. Anymore, I just watch certain tracks. I do find some tracks are very boring to watch and I skip watching that race. That guys idea is beyond retarded. Biffle just wants a section of seats named after him.

[Rice_slayer]

Lol after Richmond Edwards for sure is against phantom cautions :P. I'm shocked that there are very little cautions this year, but doesn't mean they should just randomly throw them out. I have a feeling next year we will have tons of cautions with the new Cup car designs...

[311-420]

Only 1 more race on TNT after tonight's. Thank JESUS!

[Thunderbolt]

I was surprised this race was on TNT. What station does it switch to next, Speed Channel or ESPN?

[Thunderbolt]

Kurt Busch needs to take another drug test. What the hell was he thinking with that psychotic move.

Aj allmen-dingo took a drug test. And failed it. Needless to say, he's not racing.

Yeah, they replaced him with Hornish at the last second. I would think getting busted for drugs in Nascar would be the end of you. Whatever happened to Jeremy Mayfield? Is he even in Nationwide or the Truck series after he got popped?

That was a good race after the long green stretch (I dozed off). I thought Biffle or Kenseth had a lock on this race. They were incredibly strong, but that last restart they did'nt have the power to pull away like the rest of the race.

[Rice_slayer]

That was the worst finish ever. I'm wondering how much money stewart has in the NASCAR franchise, must be alot or he is doing sexual favours on the side. It's amazing how on EVERY restart, biff/kenseth pulled away but yet on the last restart, a bogus push gave stewart the win. CHEVcar is really showing it's colour, must be a sad attempt to make Government Motors look like a good company :/.

[WalkrTexasRngr]

Hell I thought it was a good finish and my driver got wrecked at the end by your two ford drivers none the less lol. Cant win em all

[falcongtho3]

Hated to see Stewrat win another one, but happy to see Kyle (or the Jerk as he was refered to by the talking heads) end up on the less fortunate end of that late incident. There may be hope for Carl yet, as he quietly pulled in to a 6th place finish. He still needs a good end of season or a win to get into the chase and time is drawing near.
