If that's the case. Congratulations Jr. fans!!!!!!!!! LOL He gets away with quite a bit. Why the heck would they even care about the inner fenders. I guess your right, that is a lot of b/s. What next, the bottom of the hood has to be a certain color. LOL I do believe the whole idea with this new car wasn't so much for the money but for the safety and the attempt to make it more of a "driver's" race rather then depending on Aero, Hence the excess drag on the cars. Maybe that will help out in this whole restrictor plate thing in the future. I know they made the inside of the car bigger and moved the driver more towards the center of the car making it safer for them.( I can't remember how many inches at this time), |

I don't get the whole car of tomorrow thing. They want everyone to run the same kind of car so that it's the driver that makes the difference? Isn't that called IROC? I have pretty much stopped watching NASCAR...shame really because I used to be a huge fan, but I simply don't enjoy it anymore. |
Re: NASCAR thread
Wouldn't that be something if Burton wins Dega. Or even the championship this year. He is on the right track so far. Who would have thought he would have even been in the chase let alone have the points lead when the season started.

I was in tears today... Thats all I can say.

Re: NASCAR thread
Loved the last lap at 'Dega. Couldn't happen to nicer guys. Kensith moved to second only a few points behind Burton and Mark hangs just behind in third in points. :borg:

Look for me in turn 4 next week at Lowes. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
I think it's kinda obvious that Vickers didin't intentionally do that but hey, that's racing. Everyone makes mistakes. Just think though, everytime he looks at that trophy, he will remember how he won it. By the way I heard today that Goodwrench is leaving as a the #29 sponsor. I think it is going to be Shell Gas stations and something else if I heard it right. I'm not a Harvick fan but I thought this was kind of interesting because Goodwrench has been part of this sport for quite some time now.

Re: NASCAR thread
Junior was more inflamed about Gordon than about getting wrecked out of winning the race. Johnsons camp is still whinning, but he'd have whined if Vickers hadn't tried to draft past Jr. with him. Wonder if Vickers'll still have a job next weekend since he's leaving the team at the end of the season. I'm sure the phone lines are burning up with those conversations. They're beefing up security for Vickers sake (regardless of who he's driving for) due to threats from other teams fans. :borg:

Not to mention all the death threats and hate mail to Simpson too. The maker of the 5 point harness that broke.

You are absolutly correct. They would've whined about whatever Vickers would have done. Vickers would have got crap no matter what he did. It just got blown out of proportion because he is a young driver that doesn't run up front every week. If Jr. would have done it, Everyone would just say it was a racing incident. What about when Jr. got warned about bump drafting? Not but one lap later, he bump drafts Kurt Busch in the turn and almost spins him out and NASCAR didn't to a thing about it. |
Re: NASCAR thread
if it was jeff gordon that vickers wrecked, all those dega fans would have thought he was a hero! :SMASH:

I'd spin my mom on the last lap to win a cup race. Vickers has been on the losing end of so much crap in the past, I'm glad he won and he did nothing wrong. :yeh: |

I also like Kenseth but it would be nice to see someone win the championship that you would never have expected. Such as Burton or Hamlin or someone like that. Although my favorite driver that is in the chase would have to be Kenseth. |
Re: NASCAR thread
I was kinda hoping that Hamlin would have passed Jimmy at Martrinsville today even though I am a neutral fan of Hamlin. Don't like him nor do I hate him. But I think in all honesty, Jimmy does deserve a championship. It would be nice to see somelike like Burton or Hamlin win it though. Someone you wouldn't expect. I can't beleive how close the points race got after this race.

Re: NASCAR thread
I really enjoyed it. Wish Tony had restarted second, then Bobby Labonte would have probably won. :23:
I like Bobby ok but never been a Petty fan. It was very cool to see the 43 running up front. :smokin: |
Re: NASCAR thread
If that punk Johnson wins the Cup I am going to sell my season tickets to Lowes. That whole Hendrick organization makes me sick.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Glad to see Kennseth take the points lead, but hate that Marks fallen so far behind. Looks like Gordons still out, now we need some really bad mojo to find its way into that other Hendrick car. :borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
I think the rookie in car 06 got a real education today. Schrader probably wanted to shove those bumper tubes up his rookie butt. :eyebrows:
I don't get why Dale Jr took such a chance getting around Kain. How many dang times did we hear "big picture" over his scanner? WTH :SMASH: |
Re: NASCAR thread
Bobby's my #1 driver. I figured his career was done when he moved to the Petty's. 4 top 10's in the last 5 races is better than I ever thought. He may still have the most DNF's this year. Anyway I'd like to see him competetive again like Jeff Burton is now. As far as the Championship goes this year, Kenseth is my choice, but I'll be happy for any of them except Harvick.

Re: NASCAR thread
2 in a row for Stewart. I wonder how he would be doing in points if he were in the chase? I think Johnson will get the championship this year. Although he is not my favorite to win, I think he does deserve it.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
I was wondering the same thing about Stewarts ranking had there been no 'Chase'. Should he do as well in the next two races I think you'll hear a very vocal outpouring about reworking the chase. There wasn't a Ford in the top 10 finishers. I wonder where the weak issues are and what needs to be doen to get to making them more competitive? :borg:

JJ in first place. :grr: That sucks. I can not stand that man. :SMASH: He is to full of himself and will never admitt he makes a mistake. Product of the Hendrick juggernaut. :machgod: NOT |
Re: NASCAR thread
I have completely lost interest.
Never thought that would happen. Yeah, I hope Ford does well, but the Toiletta thing, to me, is just plain Un-American. What next? Illegal Alien drivers? |
Re: NASCAR thread
Nope, they sell beer and dogs. :D :LAUGH: :grr:

Hey, what a turnaround for Kurt. He's a Deputy now???????????
I still don't like the guy but if he can make something good happen recovering from his screw-up. More power to him when the kids gain from it. :THUMBSUP: It is bad how much he has aged from the pressure. :PICS: BELOW |
Re: NASCAR thread
Johnson's Championship to lose. :grr: I never have been a fan.
Harvick is having a year to remember, very nice win today. :machgod: |
Re: NASCAR thread
Kind of a boring race today... Looks like Jr is out.
I wouldnt mind if the 29 won it all. As long as its not Jimmy. At least the BROWNS Won! |

Re: NASCAR thread
Only one race left. Who do you honestly think will take the championship. I am going to say Jimmy Johnson.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
With DEI talkng about buying the two Yates cars positions, this isn't going to leave much for Ford fans to cheer about. Really can't hope for Johnson to be the victor, even though that's what looks like will be the eventual outcome. Word is that on the COT front, GM will use the Impala name on those cars instead of the Monte Carlo tag. DC is possibly looking at the Challenger or Avenger name for theirs...wonder if Fords tough about using Mustang for their COT entry? :borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
If Ford would build one. It seems like they could generate some sales and enthusiast momentum by doing a Merc-bodied Stang. I know there was a concept a few years ago, it wasn't called Cougar, but it looked like it could be a candidate. If Ford had the guts, and possible their new leader does, to actually watch their own commercials and make some truly BOLD MOVES, there could be a future for all of their divisions. A new Falcon (yeah, its broken record time) sure looks like a good candidate for a NASCAR entry, on the showrooms either as a Ford or Mercury product. Either line could use a paring down of their lines and this is a car that would sell, could be raced in a number of series and actually get some positive press for the blue oval. :borg:

I'd love to see the Cougar back looking similar to the Mustang. |

YOUR 2004 NEXTEL CUP CHAMPION, JIMMY JOHNSON. Whether you like him or not, you gotta admit. He did deserve it.

Re: NASCAR thread
Like it or not? I chose NOT! The only saving grace for me was that it was a Ford sweep of the weekend, Martin in trucks, Kenseth in Busch, and Biffle in the Cup race...the Shelby GT500 pace car was pretty sweet as well. :borg:
