Good read. I hate the chase.

No freaking chase
Ditch the owner championships in all divisions
Limit teams to 2 cars MAX and give special perks to single car operators
Have at least 2 races on dirt each season

If the chase must stay use different tracks, but I really hate the chase format.

Agree. Love the bold!

Two races on the dirt.....I would love to see that.

Here is an article about Jimmie Johnson regarding my statements a few days ago about him being possible one of the best drivers in NASCAR of all time. Kinda shows that I AM right on this topic.

birdman941 · 11-30-2010, 10:27 PM

I heard a nasty rumor.
I heard Volkswagen is coming in eventually.
Allegedly met with Brian "The Pansy" France last week.
ASSCAR is officially dead as soon as that happens.
A new series started by Roush, Hendrick, etc. will
bring American racing back to where it belongs.

Thunderbolt · 11-30-2010, 10:52 PM

5 in a row is far better than any 7 titles in 20 or 30 years, but since the points change in 2004 it skews the results. He's the best driver from 2004-Present.

I knew that VW was going after Toyota, I just didnt' think it would be on the race track. Someone fix this, please!

ar15topgun · 12-01-2010, 11:45 AM

I can't wait for Kia to get in on the act as well as Hyundai. Would be a real treat that way we can say that Nascar has gone global.

blown03Mach1 · 12-01-2010, 03:11 PM

I love seeing all the people who are in bed and nut hugging with Gimme Johnson! Old points system he would only have 3 championships. New points systems gave him his other two.

He is by far NOT the greatest driver ever!!! Back in the day, a driver actually had to drive a car. By that I mean you did not simply flat foot it around the track like today’s drivers do. If today’s drivers cannot flat foot it, they bytch about spring rates, shock combos, aero, track bar, wedge, stupid crew chief, and tires... I say to today’s drivers SHUT YOUR TRAPS AND LEARN TO DRIVE for Christ sake! Oh wait, Gimme Johnson can drive. Well at least on the only last ten races that COUNT... The chase is such B.S.!!!

NASCAR I think you have officially lost me and you will have to work hard to earn me back. I currently view NASCAR like watching the same movie over and over and over and over again. After the first time, you know how its going to end, so why watch?

Gimme Johnson is NASCAR's golden boy in their eyes, but look what he has done for fans in the seats.....

Nuff said and last post on NASCAR from me...

gvervoren · 12-01-2010, 07:01 PM

Some of you guys are looking at Just the number of championships Jimmie has. When I say he is one of the greatest, I'm not going by just championships. Look at ALL the stats in this article. Yes I know he wouldn't have 5 in a row if it wasn't for the chase;. I'm not arguing that. Look at his total wins right now and how much quicker he accomplished it then other hall of fame drivers. Like I said, look at ALL the stats, not just the number of championships. His success is coming quicker in his career then the hall of fame drivers.
Here is a link to the article again.

birdman941 · 12-01-2010, 07:37 PM

I don't like him, but at least he drives an American car,
and not some toilet.

kiler be · 12-01-2010, 07:55 PM

None of these Munchkins could have drivin the pre 70's cars for 500 miles.

birdman941 · 12-01-2010, 08:46 PM

I'll go one better.
Put JJ in Elliott's 1987 Talladega car, (212.809)
with that little spoiler and bias ply tires.
See if the back of his uniform looks more like a UPS truck
than a Lowe's truck when he gets out afterward.

gvervoren · 12-02-2010, 08:02 PM

So a lot of you people don't think Jimmie could handle racing back in the days. Let's see.

Started racing motorcycles at the age of 5 and won a championship at the age of 7.

Later on, he started racing off road trucks (I know some guys that do this and they say it is not easy racing those trucks) Raced in 3 different series, (SODA, SCORE, and MTEG) and got rookie of the year in all divisions. 25 wins, 100 tops 3's, and 6 championships racing off road trucks.

Plus raced in ASA and got rookie of the year before making his way to Nationwide series and raced both series at the same time..

He also has a bada$$ '67 camaro with an actual Hendricks race motor in it with plenty of other mods.

If he can do all this and plus have this much success in NASCAR, I think he would be able to handle those cars back then. Especially if he can handle those off road trucks as good as he did.

Yes I like Jimmie Johnson but he's not my favorite driver but you have to give credit where credit is due. What can I say, the guy knows how to drive. And he is a clean racer unlike most of the guys back then, Especially Earnhardt Sr.

birdman941 · 12-02-2010, 08:19 PM

^^ Doesn't matter one iota.^^^^
Could he duke it out with Cale Yarborough?
Um, no.

Could we see the Mustang (and Camaro) dukeing it out in the Cup series in 2013?

http://www.nascar.com/2010/news/feat...els/index.html

Also, we could see a change in the points system for the upcoming year. We should know more on Friday.
