Re: NASCAR thread
Comeback story of a lifetime, perhaps? Well done 18 team! And taking the checkers made it that much more awesome! Hahahahahaha

Re: NASCAR thread
A lot of people, myself included, were pulling for him to win as a great ending to a comeback story that few others could pull off. It's also a bit of a stick in the eye to NASCAR and its 'rules' package. Good for Kyle!

Re: NASCAR thread
Congrats to Kyle and well done (still not a fan but I can respect his driving abilities) ... on a side note:
I wonder which team cheated the most this year; Penske, Gibbs or Hendrick and SHR? All were caught with many infractions this year even up to the end. I loved watching the 48 car's jackman hip check the side of the 48 to give it an aero advantage. That was slick, but still cheating and should have received a much greater penalty than an end of line ruling. The one thing I noticed this year was it was really these teams throughout the year that would dominate at varying times; I wonder how closely this followed ways that they were cheating but not yet caught. I know it is part of the sport to push the envelope, just curious if this is why the other teams are not competitive, are they just not cheating? Something I think about and figured I would share.

End of the line penalty was sufficient in my eyes. I enjoy seeing teams push the envelope in every way they can think of. Cheating is getting less and less with this new camera system. And those officials are watching the vids like hawks too. I wouldn't have caught the 48 team. That was slick.

I can't wait either. We are going to Martinsville again this year and maybe another race. Watched Kenseth destroy Logan this year live while eating a Famous hotdog and drinking beer. It was glorious. We go to at least 2 races a year. I'd really like to make it to darlington.

Watching those guys keep a 3400lb. 800hp car under control with other cars inches away the entire time is just the coolest to me.

Out of those I still need to go to Bristol and New Hampshire. Out of the others Martinsville is definitely my favorite especially now since it's a decider in the chase. I wanna go to talladega for the experience. I think the last track I go to will be Pocono unless we camp inside the track.

Re: NASCAR thread
A co-worker of mine camped on the infield at 'dega last year. She showed me pics of her drinking from a bottle with clint boyer in their trailer one night lol! It sounds like a week-long party out there that would take me another week to recover from.

Re: NASCAR thread
I am in NY and went to the Glen once. Never again. As for New Hampshire, Don't really care for it. The modifieds but on a better show than the cup cars. They should just cover the place with dirt i think. As far as close tracks to me....Dover is the place to go. 5 hr drive.

Re: NASCAR thread
It was a good one. I would have preferred to see Truax win, he's really become a popular and talented driver.

Re: NASCAR thread
I was at the Geico 500 this weekend at Talladega. What a great day to be a Ford man.I had them steaming in the stands when little E wrecked (twice), JJ, Danica and the other 35 out of 40 with damage. Ol Brad and Bayne Ford's had some HP, hell, the #2 could block 3 lanes and run with no help. I had great seat for the action with a friend on one side and empty on other..yes 311-420, I was hoping #18 woul;d have wreck, he always makes you nervous at the end.

Congrats to JJ and that 48 team. 7 championships is incredible.

Re: NASCAR thread
I have to grudgingly agree there may be some talent there. Not my first choice for champion, but he certainly did it and deserves the respect he's earned.
