I think Jarret should quit after the 05 season.:32:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Is anyone going to Talladega in April? I can't wait to see the crowds reaction to JR & Jeff now that they are on the same team. I still can't find that **** green and white care in traffic.

At least the Ford's seem to be shaking off the slump. Maybe we'll see the 17 win at Dega?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

My dad is going with about 15 people in 2 big RV's. They've got the best spots in the infield. Up against the fence in turn 3-4. I got aced out of going because I'm not high enough on the food chain. People kill for the chance to see the race in these spots.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Who's going win this weekend Iam taking Carl 99#

Re: NASCAR thread
 

#24 or #48. They have dominating this track lately. I think together they won 8 of the last 10 races there.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

this is new year welcome to Roush's year:claus:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Let's not forget #88 as well. Hendricks will be the team to beat once again.

My pick,









#24

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm predicting that Kyle will blow a tire ( or wreck) and that Tony will wreck (or blow a tire). Seems like a safe bet...

And that Hendricks will once again this season leave the track with their collective heads bowed in shame...

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

You've got the first part of your prophesy correct. As for the later, you should be flogged. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

We see what happens on sunday.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think I've changed my mind on who's going to win this race. I think Hendricks is going to be left out in the cold along with Roush, and JGR. Now that Waltrips team has the secret sway bar from the Roush team it's lights out.

Waltrip and Rudiman with their new secret weapon will sweep Nascar the rest of the year. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Where do we start??? Bar-fly, Bar-hoping, Bar none, Katie Bar the door...

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

We ready to start the race.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I predict someone will win, I just hope the Busch boys get together, again! :smack:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The Bushes finshed right where they ought to. Obviously Toyota made good use of their ill-gotten sway bars...

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Toyota gets another one in the win column.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

where I'm from.....if you seen one sway bar you've seen them all :23:






Big Ron :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Must be somthing different. A lot of stink going on over there because of it!

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Incredible freaking wreck at Texas ------------- WOW. Very lucky guy. :worship:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Just goes to show how safe those car really are.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I know,

Looks like Carl will win sunday's in TX .:COOL:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Johnson for the win. Kyle Busch in 2nd(hope not). The Biffle for third, Dale Jr. for fourth, and even though they are not practicing or qualifying well, Jeff Gordon for 5th. :COOL:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:LAUGH: I got a song for you....Drreeeaaammiinngg..... dream dream dreeeaam

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Junior Johnson maybe...but the season Jimmie's having? He can't even win on his Playstation! The only 5th Gordon'll have today is the 5th of Jack he'll be drinking after his latest DNF...

Edwards for the win, then Biffle, then Matt...Kyle hits the wall, Tony blows a tire...

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

GO 17!!!! (Sorry... I am biased for a good reason :-D)

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Reutimann

Jr

Biff


It's just a guess because anything could happen there, it aint wraslin you know. :LAUGH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yeah...you go on believing that...

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:31: :31: Now that's funny. Was that a cane in D.W.'s hand when they were at the cutaway car? I was waiting for him to point with it but he just kept it in his hand. :OUCH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I really dont give a rats rear about Nascrap anymore but, thought you guys might get a kick out this article about "Nascar taking actions to address erosion of long term fan base, empty seats and declining ratings":

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...?npc&nTar=OPUR

shame though, when I think of all the races (and all the good behind pit wall photos we have provided to this thread) over the years.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

NASCAR has offended the core many times recently. The top 35 and chase suck, each car needs to qualify every race. Let the points go all year, if someone sews it up early there's a race for 2-43. I also would cap the teams to 2 cars only, break up this super team crap. :soapbox:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The Chase ruined it, and Toyota coming in may have been the last straw for some diehards. I don't watch complete races anymore. Just bits and pieces of them now. Going to a race is still alot of fun.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Sometimes the first 20 laps and always the last 20 laps. Kinda snoozing between. Night race at Bristol rock!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Well you guys got me on Gordon. Tough day.:OUCH:

Jr. and Johnson still looking good.:COOL:

Here's the reason that I'm no longer a big fan of the Roush team even though I like several of the drivers. I hate anything that is Boston. I hate the Patriots. I hate the Redsox. I hate the Celtics. I hate the Bruins. I hate how arrogant the fans in the Boston area have become. I hate flying into Boston. And I hate that Roush sold out half of his team to Fenway. The only thing that I like about Boston is the band Boston. :LAUGH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If only Jimmie drove the 99............:D

Congrats Carl!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I take it you're not much on beans, either?

Glad to see Carl do the backflip...again!!!

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I call it right on money, good old Carl did it !

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Amen!!

The polesitter was on the bottom today! Also, did you catch the comment from Carl in the interview after the race where he said "it was good to see the grandstands full"!! I am sure that he will have to go to the NASCAR trailer to be reminded not to bring up how the COT is killing the sport & attendance is down. Good to see the "owner formerly known as a felon" teams sucking wind.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Same here but usually not the first 20 and only the last 10 that matter. Bristol Night race used to rock. Although the track reconfiguration from last year made last Aug. race a real snoozer. Watching cars on the interstate would have been more exciting.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If there were more people in this world who were former felons(or never convicted persons) do what he has done to other people and charity this world would be a better place. My family has personally been touched by this man when a nephew of mine as a child was fighting a potentially terminal illness. His charity and donations I believe helped him be here today. I can't think of a driver, owner, or team member in Nascar who can or has ever said one bad thing about him.

As for those teams sucking wind. Johnson seems to be turning it around real quick. And don't expect the #24 car to have another race like that. Blast him all you want, hate him all you want, but the fact is he is one of the greatest drivers to ever sit in the wheel of a race car.

And yes it is always nice to see Carl Edwards do a back flip. Good driver, good guy.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Not unless they bless him with another car like the one he had yesterday. I wouldn't blame him if he'd put the thing into the wall on purpose. (I know he didn't, but I still would not have blamed him if he had). From what he was saying, and the way he was running (and yes, I know he's a better driver than what we saw in Texas) they must have installed the carburator upside down or had the tailpipes plugged. That thing was a DOG! I can't imagine how Hendricks could have had such a group of other good running cars (including the first loser, Johnson) and saddled Gordon with that brick?

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

# 24 will NEVER win at Texas......if he does they will dig up the track and start all over :claus:






Big Ron :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Newman takes the pole (but not like Jimmie and Jeff take a pole), we have a driver racing on drugs, and Kyle Petty fails to qualify. Just another week in NASCAR, I guess...

Edwards for another win, with Mark in second, Biffle third!

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If they keep pushing the drug testing the drivers may proceed with Union plans and then RACING is done for the day the ratify a union.

I confussed by Tony Stewart being for the drug testing. :confused:

He looks like somebody who has the munchies way too often. :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Big Ears wins the Nationwide race and calls his car the Interstate Battery Chevrolet. :23: :23: :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

LMFAO@big ears

Re: NASCAR thread
 

This is not exactly breaking news but I just noticed it. I have a friend who is also an NASCAR inspector who knew her.

Female NASCAR Official dies in auto accident, she worked in the engine department and was a good wrench according to my friend. She started with DEI and was kind of attractive. RIP

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Seriously?!? What a moran!!! :crazy:

Nevertheless, NASCAR is never going to be what it once was. France Jr. ruined the sport in my opinion.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I agree....what was once a blue collar sport had now become this high dollar crap shoot full of big name celebrities....I don't like where Nascar is going either but atleast my boy Carl is kicking some tail this year. I feel another backflip coming on in Phoenix tonight!
