Re: NASCAR thread

I could have sworn that you had to maintain pace speed behind the pace car to finish in your current position even if the field was locked. That is what they have done in the past at least when a caution came out. If that is the case, then Clint Bowyer should have won. Another point is, why was Stewart and his team so concerned about running out of fuel when the rain came? The caution already flew and the field was locked. He wouldn't have won if HE ran out of fuel. I don't know, maybe they do it different for the end of the race. IMHO, the Hendricks boys and Clint Bowyer had a legitimate "concern" about the result. People are just making a big deal out of it because Jimmy and Jeff were two of the people complaining. (No I am not being bias cause I am not a diehard Hendricks fan) This is just my $0.02

The rule book does not mention the pace car or finishing with fuel on the last lap. It calls for reasonable speed and having no assistance to cross the finish line. The other issue is the car was not out of fuel. To remove all doubt they should have let him drive it to victory lane.

Re: NASCAR thread

I can't believe how good the Toyotas did on qualifying! Not to mention that Michael Waltrip is sitting on the pole! We'll have to see how they are going to do in race conditions though. Of course this is Talledega so anyone can really win.

I wish they would put me in a fast car out there.

Seriously there is a lot of discussion about the experience level of some in the field and the setup of the top qualifing cars. They better have a plan for getting into race trim.

Re: NASCAR thread

Did anyone else find this race...well, dull? Other than the crashes at the end, it just seemed like watchign a train. I really didn't understand the Ford group running in the third pack for the first half of the race. This is going to get weirder before it gets better...

That's Talladega for ya. If you're not there and half drunk it's boring.

Re: NASCAR thread

Well, got my invoice for my four tickets to Bristol Motor Speedway for 2008 races in March & August. $1,400.00 due by November 14. After having these seats for 10 years and seeing some really GREAT races & drivers, I have decided that the new & improved version of NASCAR can go without my $$. If you have your name on the list at Bristol, you might be lucky enough to get own these tickets. Enjoy the ho-hum, plain vanilla racing with COT & the cookie cutter drivers.

Re: NASCAR thread

I was in the infield at Kansas Speedway for 4 days in an RV. Total cost for me was $150 for EVERYTHING. That's food, gas, alcohol, and anything else. You can see a race for dirt cheap if you know the right people. All the races I saw before I never saw for cheaper than $400-$500 for all costs. I've got the opportunity to go to Talladega next spring for $250 total. The tickets he has for this race are literally the best infield tickets in the entire track. People would kill for these tickets.

That's my point, you shouldn't have to know the right people, most of my friends are not the "right" people.

I'll stick with the TV and local tracks, Cup is kind of boring anyways recently.

Re: NASCAR thread

I'll go to any Nascar race no matter what the price. They are never boring in person, and if you camp in or outside the track, it DEFINITELY aint boring.
