Re: NASCAR thread
Causing the wreck was out of character for Mark Martin, and I do believe he was sincere in his apology afterward.
Here's a question to pose for you insecure with your manhood(:claus: ) Gordon haters. If Gordon were to do the same thing in todays race and take Martin out and wrecking him for the win how many of you would be on here blasting him that evening? Enquiring minds want to know. My prediction for today. 1. Carl Edwards(see I'm not totally biased) 2. Jeff Gordon 3. Tony Stewart(still hate the punk and Toyota) 4. Kyle Busch(same as Stewart) 5. Jimmy Johnson |

Re: NASCAR thread
No lie. That's a really bad impersonation of our resident Hendricks fan. I mean, it's not like we'd be willing to pay any ransom or anything like that, but it's better than having a JGR fan around here...or a Toyota owner (sorry, IMACHU, had to do it! )...
Speaking of Hendricks...and I am NOT making this up...there is a small article in Autoweek about the death of one of the founding members of that racing organization. His name? Jimmy Johnson...yeah, that's what I thought, too. Same name, different guy. But he was one of those who help get Hendricks started many years ago. Hate to hear of his passing, but it sure got my attention, as I'm sure it did many readers! :borg: |

I think we see the dangers of leaving your computer signed on! :23:
The last time I walked away from my computer at work (while signed in here) someone stuck a Z06 in my sig line. It was funny when I started getting questions about my new vette. :23: I did get even!!! I'm going with Kurt Busch today. :smokin: |

Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt, Mears in that order. A clean sweep for the Hendricks team:) However, I think we can all agree that any team Toyota sucks. |

Re: NASCAR thread
START THE RACE ALREADY!!!! Man, shut up and start the race. I did'nt turn on my tv at 12:30 to wait until 1:45pm for the race to start. :anger: This is why I find it hard to watch a whole race anymore.

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm glad to see Stewart and his Toyota out of the race. But with that I don't like to see any driver get hurt and Tony needed help walking off the track.

Bwaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Tow the 24 to the garage!!!! :23:

Did you say the same thing about Mark Martin in yesterdays race? No doubt it was driver error. But name me one driver on that track who has never had that happen to him. Guess I'll be eating crow from most of you this week. :23: |
Re: NASCAR thread
Didn't see yesterday's race.
Mark Martin is, and always has been a class act. The same can never be said for Jeffy. |

Ford won.
That's all that matters. Way to go Carl. |
Re: NASCAR thread
Jeffy was racing hard and made a mistake. He admitted to it :worship: and was the one to pay the big price for his attempt. :smokin:
I'd say it's just racing on this one. :smokin: no toyota again --- that's the main thing. :23: |
Re: NASCAR thread
It's backflip time!!!
Who hoo Carl!!! Way to take the points lead! Jeff is obviously not my favorite person right now, but I'm not so sure that Jr. wasn't as much at fault for some of it when he got that bad start. Really liked the way that JJs car ran today, he needs to run it the rest of the season. What Toyotas? :borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
ylo called it! :23: Tony to a hard hit. He won't be worth a sht the rest of the week. Hate to see what happened to JG and Matt. Two contenders for sure. But Jeff did take "some of the blame". :crazy:

I beg to differ. As a long time Mark Martin fan, when you tell your fans for a year that you are retiring and plan to stay on with the same owner/manufacturer to run the trucks, then bolt to a Chebby, that's not my definition of class. Prior to that act of treason, he was the best. My opinion of him is kind of like the guy who's wife ran off with the next door neighbor. When he sucks, I'm glad he's gone, when he does well I get begin to really dislike him. All you Jr. fans know a little about what it's like, except he stayed in the same manufacturer's car. Imagine he went to Toyota & that would be about the same. Ask me about my thoughts about Bill Elliott & Dale Jarrett !!:3amin: Don't worry, I will get over it, but I don't have to like it!! |
Re: NASCAR thread
Hmmm Roush Racing with a Nascar violation. I wonder what the forum would be like if it were from the Hendricks camp. Oh wait, I think I can find some of the responses from last year. :23:

I did post it up, and it looks like the same issues plagued a number of the Nationwide cars as well. I doubt he'll see his crew chief suspended or a mega-fine (for further reference see: Hendrick Racing, 2007 Racing season) :borg: |

But with that said, again if it were a Hendricks car most of you would be shouting for huge fines, suspensions, and points docked.:crazy: |

I think if you plan to have a favorite driver, you better get used to seeing them in OTHER make cars. My other fav besides Mark is also in a Chevy now. :23: |

Re: NASCAR thread
This week in hot Atanta I'am taking Carl #99 his on a roll.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Carl gets 100 points docked plus loses the 10 points earned toward the chase. Causing him to drop to seventh in the standings and Rousch is fined $100,000 along with the crew chief is suspended for six weeks.
Seems a little harsh doesn't it. |

Not that I'm a fan but I hope R. Gordon gets off the hook for his ?? violation. The more I read about it, I'm convinced they were screwed over on the deal. :smokin:

Carl got screwed over, but it looks like (acoording to nascar.com) that RG will have his penalty overturned. He's has it rough the last few months. He lost over $4mil. of his own money when the Paris/Dakar Rally was cancelled this year. :borg: |

Re: NASCAR thread
I hoping one Roush cars get the pole this friday in Atanta see what Nascar would say about that.:23:
|
Re: NASCAR thread
OK, so Gordon got the pole (proceed with appropriate Gordon/Johnson/pole references as needed). Carl didn't qualify bad. He won't have many to get by to win a third straight (OK, proceed with Gordon/Johnson/straight jokes as needed).
Now: to more important stuff. I apparently have not been keeping up well with new automotive technology. I must now get a new, NASCAR approved and Roush built, self loosening oil cap for my car. Why? According to some Toyota hack: "On Friday, Lee White, general manager for Toyota Racing Development, told USA Today that removal of the oil cap would provide up to 21 percent more downforce and as much as 50 horsepower. He added that he fully believed the Roush team knew what it was doing going into the race to create an competitive advantage" If I can get 50 HP and 25% better dowforce at speed from an oil cap loss, then I'm all in on that deal! :borg: |

Now, now...they seem to do that just fine all by themselves. They need help wiht that about as much as Hendrat cars need finishing waaaayyy back! :borg: |
Re: NASCAR thread
Every person that I have heard on tv and in the press all say that the removal of the cap does reduce the drag on the car. Even the old timers said they use to do something similar in their days. As for the increase in hp, I'm not buying that statement.
For some reason I believe Roush and the Edwards team that they did not intentionally remove the cap. Perhaps if they investigate it further they may be able to determain that there was a defect in the piece. As for the race, it's a nice 1-2 at the start for Hendricks with Gordon and Earnhardt.(notice the lack of the word pole here, you sick Gordon haters. LOL) My prediction of the top 5 are, 1. Jeff Gordon(of course) 2. Carl Edwards(with or without a cap the dude is hot) 3. Kyle Busch(Hoping he finds the wall) 4. Ryan Newman(just a hunch) 5. Earnhardt Jr.( He'll get even better learning from Gordon & Johnson):worship: |
Re: NASCAR thread
I know I'm a week late here but my internet was turned off for a week cause I moved but when Carls tire rolled out in the grass last week, he didn't get penalized for it but I thought it was a godd call cause it wasn't their fault. Now I didn't hear anything complaining about it in the news or no polls about it but if that were to happen to JJ or JG, people would complain about it cause it was a Hendrick car.
