I agree. He didn't try to take sole credit once so ever for his championship. He made sure that everyone knew it was a team effort.

Big Ron · 02-10-2013, 09:09 PM

Only two more weeks............

Daytona 500 at 12:00 pm CST on Sunday, February 24th

Sprint Unlimited at 7:10 pm CST on Sat, Feb 16th

Duel # 1 at 1:00 pm CST on Thu, Feb 21st
Duel # 2 at 2:30 pm CST on Thu, Feb 21st

Looking for a brand new first-time Sprint Cup Champion this year!

I'll miss the Duel races. I'll be at work. You think they'd change the time to a more evening into night race. It's barely afternoon on the west coast. You'd have a way better tv audience in the evening.

I did boycott watching Daytona and Talladega after that year they changed to tandem nut to butt racing. That was retarded. I can tolerate it for the last couple laps of the race, since you can still win it from the nut position.

311-420 · 02-11-2013, 06:38 AM

These are the longest 90 days of the year for me.

I have to DVR the duels too. BTW, Daytona and Talladega isn't so much tandem racing anymore.

Rice_slayer · 02-11-2013, 09:43 PM

I don't even know how much bump drafting we will see. They tried it once in the preseason thunder and it ended with a huge crash lol. I'm soooo pumped for Saturday night, missed my racing fix, go Roush AND Penske this year!

No, it was just 2 years like 2009 and 2010 or something like that. Now it's usually just the last couple laps if their's a caution at the end. That does'nt bother me. Anymore, I just watch certain tracks because some of them are just too boring to me.

Those were some pretty boring races. I'm glad it didn't last too long.

311-420 · 02-12-2013, 08:09 PM

The fastest way around the super speedways is in a tandem. Nascar can, and will, change the cars over and over to hinder the teams from going tandem but the teams' engineers will always find a way around it.

Short tracks and the road courses are my favorites. Never a dull moment with those.

Thunderbolt · 02-12-2013, 09:05 PM

The team engineers are idiots because if people don't like that kind of racing they're not going to pay to go to that race. After the first Daytona race they did that tandem crap I did'nt watch Daytona or Talladega the next 2 years. I sure as hell would'nt go to see the race.

Nascar needs another road course and a 7/8th mile track. Dump a couple tracks that have 2 races.

Rice_slayer · 02-12-2013, 09:13 PM

Again, I don't even think there will be much BUMP drafting let alone tandem drafting. If anyone here was watching preseason thunder, they would have seen what happens when a chevy tries to push a Ford, a huge wreck. Only cars of the same manufactur can push eachother it seems since they all have unique body lines now.

Thunderbolt · 02-12-2013, 09:39 PM

Look for Gordon to

about it, then get caught 10 times during the race doing it himself.

WalkrTexasRngr · 02-12-2013, 09:53 PM

I cant wait...
So far we're going to:
Martinsville
Richmond
Charlotte
Richmond
Hopefully Dover
Its addicting. Once you go to one race, you wanna go to more. For the most part its cheap compared to other professional sports and the parking lot party is insane.

I already have a house full of friends coming over for the 500.

falcongtho3 · 02-17-2013, 02:11 PM

Interesting event on Saturday night. Looks like th epotential of a lot of torn up sheetmetal next Sunday.

As much as it wold be easy to joke about Danica taking a pole, getting a pole, being on a pole, I have to take the high ground and give her my best wishes on what look like a pole winning qualifying run (it's early, but looking good for her).

Rice_slayer · 02-17-2013, 03:23 PM

Danika wins the pole, and should be crashed out by Lap 25-50, taking all bets haha.

I believe your right.

I enjoyed Keselowski in the Hollywood Hotel last night. Looked outta' place in a suit though, but did look better than Michael Waltrip!

Big Ron

311-420 · 02-17-2013, 06:44 PM

I'm glad I missed qualifying. From what I've heard, it was nothing but talking to danikuh.

Thunderbolt · 02-17-2013, 09:08 PM

The first ever all woman front row. That's incredible. My boy Trevor Bayne is qualified 3rd. So I guess if Ford and Chevy bumpers don't match, then he can't tap 'dat azz.

She probably will be but from what I have been seeing through the last couple years, most of her wrecks were not her doing.

lonestarbullitt · 02-19-2013, 06:26 PM

Anybody want to join a fantasy league? I've got one going, if you're interested PM me and I'll set you up. Makes the races a little more competitive to watch.

Thunderbolt · 02-23-2013, 08:57 PM

I did'nt see the Nationwide race, but I saw the crash on the national news. Daaaaaaamn. Lots of souvenirs for the fans. I wonder what the policy is for the people that got hurt because you know they'll be filing lawsuits if they can.

mach18604 · 02-23-2013, 09:53 PM

Yeah I missed it also.. just saw all the vids you youtube..

Hope everyone is ok

MAD_MACh1 · 02-23-2013, 10:10 PM

I heard that one guy was hit by a tire. Even suppose to be a fan that caught it on video. They also said the engine made it into the stands as well.

They need to do something with Dayona and Talladega. Plate racing isn't real racing. It's just hoping you don't get caught up in a wreck. The cars are just to evenly matched these days. No one can get away form any one else and you end up with these stupid packs. Hell the two car draft was better than this.

From what I saw, it looked like the engine made it throught the fence but not quite to the seats. Lots of people were burned from the fliuds coming out of it though. They also said 1 guy was hit from the tire in row 9 I believe. Hope everyone is OK.
