Latest news is the tickets for 500 is not saleing to good.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It's gonna be BAD for NASCAR if the substance in the intake is something innocent. :what:

Chances of that are pretty slim. :LAUGH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

For some odd reason there's a few pages I can't get into, page 6 on this thread being one of them :headbang:

I see Mikey's lost his crew chief indefinily, as well as a huge ponts hit to start the season. The 'sustance' was called a Jet Fuel-Like material (!) and was suspected in aireating the fuel. Odd seeing his car sitting in the garage with no motor in it...! Kennseth and Kahne will be starting 50 ponts and $50K lighter to start the years and the other Everham cars will see 25 point and $25K taken from them...all to start the season!

I can't imagine how the Toyota guys are feeling, they've lost face and that's huge in the Japanese culture. I have a feeling they've learned the hard way, whether they had any knowledge of this or not, that throwing money into the Cup series is not the answer to everything. Wonder how long Mikeys team will be around??? :borg:

(Sorry if this is any dupliction of the previous page...)

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If they send it to the same lab that they sent Michael Vick's water bottle, then it probably will be something "innocent.":LAUGH:

Gwinnett Gladiators > Florida Everblades.:COOL:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Don't follow it, just know they are here.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

That's a shame, it's good stuff. After our first game we told our friends that we went to a boxing match and a hockey game kept breaking out.:LAUGH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I did go to a Chicago Blackhawks game when I was a kid.
Old Chicago Stadium.
Bobby and Dennis Hull, Stan Makita and Keith Magnuson were playing.
Long time ago...........................

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Haaaaaaaaaa, I don't think he's that lucky. :eyebrows:

I don't like Waltrip but in a strange way I'm glad he got all his cars in the race. It must be I dislike NASCAR's inspection procedure even more. :SMASH:

Everybody in FL could probably heard the booo's when Waltrip spun Jr. :28:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I missed the early racing today --- DANG job. :wall:

Gordon winning car fails inspection.
 

Bwaaaa Haaaa Haaaaa
Gordon's winning car fails Duels inspection
"................Gordon's car was deemed "close to an inch" too low....."

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Here we go again --- Gordon still gets the win with no points or fine??????????

I don't buy that mechanic made a little mistake BS. That was planned after the Toyota team stole all the jet fuel. :SMASH:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Gordon and GM owns Nascar.:loser:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Toyota owns a share or two I'm sure!

As for the Twin 150s, how many people were pulling for the 72 year old guy to make it? Six laps away and he got dumped out of the draft...:wall:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I was , I'll feel so bad for him.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It would've been cool for him to make it, just so he would have accomplished it at his age. I would have then hoped he was the first car out of the race with a mechanical failure, because I can't imagine him being in the race would have been safe.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'm in Orlando right now. Going to the 500 on Sunday! Anyone else going?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Of the eight Toyotas which attempted to qualify, only four made it in. One fo those, Dale Jarretts #44, has to use a champions provisional to get in! And this year they are limited to (I believe) six provisional starts, unlike precious years where there were unlimited provisionals.

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The Toiletta drivers should be required have a pic of a fried egg on their helmets.
ASSCAR probably won't allow them to "race" with it on their faces.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

That new provisional rule is the best one they came up with this year! The only reason Toyota hired Jarrett was for his guaranteed prior-champion provisional and then NASCAR yanked it away. I'm miffed a bit that DJ left Ford for Toyota but money talks and probably anyone in his position would do the same (50 years old with a loyal sponsor and looking for a change). Kinda funny that DJ still gets the money and Toyota ends up getting screwed! :11:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Me personnaly, I'm not going to dislike a driver because of the make of car he drives. For instance, I am a big Ford guy and I have been a Rusty Wallace fan for a while (sucks that he is retired now). I didn't dislike him just because he went from Ford to Dodge. I am a fan of the driver, not the car.


As to the penalties this year, WOW NASCAR is really cracking down. I think it was Kenseth's crew cheif that said a plug fell out of the wheel well and that is why the hole was there. I don't beleive it. Of course why would Kenseth's and Kahn's team need to cheat? They are guarenteed a spot in the 500 regardless. Starting position doesn't really matter at Daytona and Talladega. You can start last and lead the race within 5 or 6 laps.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

What do you guys think about Jimmy Spencer on speed. I think he is dope.
Seems to put his foot in his mouth every other sentence.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Is it just me (because I dislike Hendrick racing) or do they get all the advantages from NASCAR. Why are there no points from Gordon? How can NASCAR tell what was intentional? Maybe we should try Hendrick's logic with our friendly officer. "Sorry officer I did not intend to go 150 mph in my MACH, you know I could have had a crash going that fast, so you know it was not intentional." Going to the end of the longest line in a restictor plate race is no punishment unless there are only a few laps left. OK I am done.


btw My wife is a huge Gordon fan.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I never liked Jimmy Spencer and I don't think I ever will.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I don't dislike Hendrick but I agree with you 100%

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I never rooted for him but he became my hero when he punched Kurt "Rubber-Head" Busch in 2003! I went to the Bristol race that Spencer missed because of his suspension and there were "Free Jimmy" shirts everywhere. Buddy of mine bought a Kurt Busch bobble-head that one enterprising vendor blacked out one eye on! Freakin' good time! :31:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I forgot about that punch. That is the only think I like about him.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Who's going win today guys? I'll take Carl #99.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

#20

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Jeff Burton would be my favorite. :smokin:

BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

Mark Martin deserved to win the Daytona 500. 23 years and no victory at Daytona and with a finish that close I think the win should've gone to Mark, he's a clean driver and one of the best in the Nextel Cup! Maybe next time, Mark!

It was an exciting race and great way to start off the season, I just wish Mark would've held Kevin off at the finish.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

that really blew, i watched the last half hour lol

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

After Stewart went out I was wanting Martin to win it.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

I'm sooo embarrased to admit that I was pulling for Mark's cheby those last few laps... :eyebrows:

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

Yeah but what a finish!

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

X's 4

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

lol how do you guys watch that stuff?

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

great finish... really wanted the old guy to pull this one off though as well....:wall:

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

:LAUGH: I did feel guilty rooting for a Chevy driver to win, but considering he was with Roush for 20 years...I felt OK. :cool:

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

Normally the TV downstairs :SMASH:

LOL :eyebrows:

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

I'll watch any just about any kind of racing. All the better if a Ford is entered.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

+1, usually along w/ a couple of cold ones as well....LOL

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

Great 500 finish. I wanted Mark to win, even if he drives a chevy now.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Mark should won the race:cool: Tony got hit hard :eyebrows:

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

I can't stand Harvick. I wish Martin had won, and then I wish anyone but Harvick would've won.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
 

The title IMO should read BOOOOO NASCAR!
I would like to thank NASCAR for being able to choose when the rules apply and when. Not that I wanted Mark to win, glad to see him run good. All this talk about not racing back to the line... Maybe it is just me but the caution would have came out as soon as the crash started on any other given lap. They would have never raced back to the line. Just wish NASCAR would be consistant with the way things are done. It was a great race and glad to see Kevin win. Just not very happy with NASCAR.
