Re: NASCAR thread
That was a really good race. Congrats to McMurray. His new team is doing good with some big wins. He has'nt done anything for years. It makes my day when Montoya is doing well in a race and crashes and burns. :31:

Re: NASCAR thread
thought that was great. They sure whipped that up fast.

and I was just saying that the whole reason I'm comparing the 3 is because of the comment made by G. I'm not accusing you of anything. compare careers and its obvious jmac is not the performer that some think he is. Carl and Matt may not be doing as well this year as in years past but the points standings say it all. |

First off, I don't really like my comment being called stupid. Especially in light of the fact that my boy Jamie won a huge race today with historical significance and is not on probation or $25K poorer. :23: I really don't care that much for stats. The best driver I ever saw behind the wheel has questionable stats. He never ran a full season in one division and never became a champion of any series but has won more races than Richard Petty has Cup starts. He is a legend and most here wouldn't recognize his name. My comment deals with potential, integrity, and the fact that the guy is not an AzzClown. I tend to like drivers that are good people in addition to skilled. Biffle, Martin, Burton, Kenseth, Sadler, Newman, Truex, and even Earnhardt score high with me. Using stats as your yardstick Jimmie Johnson would be the greatest driver on the planet. Now he is very good but who puts him that high above the herd??? If I had any doubts on whether Carl was the bad guy in these recent events they were gone when Jimmy Spencer took up for him. Most of the other drivers (active or not) have said he acted irresponsibly. The thing is if I had a first class cup team and my choices were Brad, Jamie, or Carl ... I would have to go with Jamie to protect my equipment and trust his experience and potential. :worship: Carl wouldn't be my second choice because of that AzzClown thing he has going on. |

Re: NASCAR thread
I know who ray is. He used to run at Hickory in the 70s. When he did he had a different number because Jack had the 11.

It's probably harder today in LMS to sort the numbers out. Back in the 60s the Modifieds were the most popular division. I've seen Jack Ingram race a few times in the VA area but it was LMS. |
Re: NASCAR thread
G I would like to hear some of your racing storys, I bet you have sme good ones.

My dad was a racer before WWII and started back in around 48. I was 11 in 1969 and that was the age you could work/be in the pits at the tracks we went to. Back then I was tall for my age so I would just find out how old you needed to be and what birth year worked for that age. That was the age I claimed. I remember people more than stories and some really stand out. Hendrick, Evans, Crouse, Lovelace, Hutchins, Grinnan, Dennis, Earnhardt, Ellis, Petty, Pearson, Jarrett, and many that don't pop in my head. I remember being at the very LAST "Grand National" race in November on 1970 at Langley Speedway. It was won by Bobby Allison and it marked the end of NASCAR according to many that thought "Winston Cup" racing would kill the sport. :smack: Racing also was doomed at Langley Speedway when they paved it in 1968. I remember riding to the races listening to all the complaining about paved tracks being the devil. :crazy: They were wrong about that track anyway. It's nearly flat, turns are 6 degrees and the straights are 3 with a 4/10 around. It was nearly perfect. |
Re: NASCAR thread
How bout that Rowdy kid!! Wooo!! Two weeks in a row for nationwide! :gears:

Re: NASCAR thread
Nearly forgot to mention, he didn't even go to practice for last weeks OR this weeks race. :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
How about that Elliott Sadler. I like the guy and he does well in good equipment. I've seen him and his brother race a bunch in LMS at the tracks in SE VA and NE NC. Sadler Chevrolet was a sponsor on the side of the Modified driven by Ray Hendrick. That family has been involved in racing since the late 40s I think. :worship:
I didn't catch the Iowa race. Looks like Brad gathered a few more points than that guy he was having issues with who has better stats. :23: |

Re: NASCAR thread
Much as I hate the COT it sure looked like it did a good job protecting Elliot Sadler today. That car sure as heck hit hard. :wow:
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Why do guys try bump drafting at the worst possible times. Glad to see Sadler came through it OK. What a helluvva hit to take.
Kurt seems pretty mad at JJ. :smack: |
Re: NASCAR thread
I usually don't watch much or any of the Pocono race because it's usually a snoozer, but I did see most of it today. Yeah, that was a seriously wicked crash. It's a good thing he hit on the passenger side.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
wow what a hit! glad sadler is ok....busch was pissed but you can't blame him...once he cools down and talks to jimmie I'm sure he will be fine.
|
Re: NASCAR thread
Haha, Kurt didn't seem ready to calm down and I don't blame him. NASCAR will probably calm him down as only they can do.
How about some secret fines. :smack: http://motorsports.fanhouse.com/2010...ned-by-nascar/ |
Re: NASCAR thread
Hmmm...who'd a thunk it. Twice watching Pocono I've found a reason to be interested. Once to see Sadler's crash replay and now in anticipation of the red flag restart! Whoever wins this needs to fly to Vegas tonight!

Re: NASCAR thread
glad to see a roush Ford in victory lane! go Biffle!

this week i picked sam jr for my fastasy pick, he normally does decent at this trk. im trying to save the top drivers till the end of the yr. anyways he was running 30th place allday so went to mow the lawn. i come back into house and hes in 1st and under rain delay. man i started to do a rain dance lol, it didnt work but still got a 11th not bad.

Re: NASCAR thread
I still think Jimmy Johnson is secretly a rookie, even with his championships. A driver knows you don't just ram into the driver ahead. You sneek up to the bumper and push. Johnson just can't drive in traffic, unless he's by himself. I'm fed up with Mr. Vanilla. Great run Biffle and Edwards. Come one Matt and David, make Jack proud. I know you got it in you. Since Jack Roush racing has the only teams seriously carrying on the FORD name, it is now time to turn things around! Get well Jack. :)

Re: NASCAR thread
Thanks for bringing up the true cause of yestedays meele, and the question begs why those who are so concerned about Edwards' actions a few weeks ago let JJ off without a peep. He coudl have done serious harm to not only Kurt (not that many would care), but to Sadler, who has been a pretty decent person amoung the NASCAR ranks regardless of whether he's going to jump from the Ford ship at the end of season.
:borg: |

Re: NASCAR thread
JJ sucks at bump drafting and didn't intend to wreck anyone. He was sorry it happened and expressed it right after the mess. Edwards hooked the same guy twice to intentionally wreck him. He only regrets the bad press and disapproval of MOST of the drivers in all of the divisions in which he drives.
I don't really think JJ was serious about wrecking Kurt a few weeks ago. I'm not a JJ fan but he seems focused on NOT wrecking anyone, that includes his car. The situations are totally different but he might want to be careful around the blue deuce. :23: |

I have nothing further to add except I'm glad everyone walked away ok. |
Re: NASCAR thread
JJ has gotten an apparently unspoken reputation for causing such pile ups, but no one points the finger at him while his mess is being cleaned up. JJ at least gave many what they wanted to see, an unobstructed view of the new FR9 engine...namely Sadlers, completely seperated from the car.
I doubt it'll be so quiet if Kurt decides to find retribution. :borg: |
