They should be dang proud of that motor, it made it through a good burnout too. I'm not much of a burnout guy --- I prefer the ole skool guys like Martin and Burton. When that team gets on a roll they win a bunch.

Re: NASCAR thread
Crap, another great track turned boring by the new ugly asz car. I swear they are heading for SPEC racers eventually and there hasn't been an exciting finish in the COT cars yet!

Re: NASCAR thread
Now I can look forward to not getting to watch the All Star race next weekend. Since it's only going to play on Speed and not on Fox guess I'll be renting a movie...

Re: NASCAR thread
Haaaaaaaaa, if NASCAR wants to get people watching they may have to start treating Jeffy and Hendrick like a Roush team.

Re: NASCAR thread
You gotta give credit where credit is due. And you got to admit, (hate them or not)The Hendricks organization has what it takes, great cars and great drivers.

Re: NASCAR thread
It's hard to beat a dead legend but in this case it still wouldn't matter.
Some people will never acknowledge his accomplishments because they just hate the guy. There is no denying he's a record setter.

However, as you stated, hate the guy or like the guy, there is no way you can say that he is not one of the all time greats. 50 years from now people will look back and say that Earnhardt and Gordon were two of the best drivers that ever raced in Nascar. There are some that will say Earnhardt was not as good as Darryl Waltrip. Again hard to compare the two drivers. In my opinion, I will say this, Earnhardt was not the greatest of all time. That has to go to the legend who drove the #43, Richard Petty. Sorry again Gordon bashers. I'm sure it hurts to admit it, but he is a great racer. I also find it interesting that most fans can admit this, the only camp that has a hard time are the Earnhardt fans. Last edited by ylopony; 05-16-2007 at 01:24 PM. |

Re: NASCAR thread
Looks like Jr's managed to fall a few rungs down the ladder. After getting caught with illegal stanchions on his rear deck spoiler he's now out 100 points as well as 100 owners points for his step-mom and team owner. Tony Eury, Jr. get to pay 100grand and watch the next 6 poins races from the comfort of his recliner at home...ouch!

Re: NASCAR thread
I just read where they found Vasoline in the drivers seats on the 24 & 48, but won't penalize them as it didn't make them faster, just slicker

Re: NASCAR thread
I think you are right, it doesn't make them faster, just easier for them to sit on the Pole Bill Elliott back in a Ford. Kind of like your wife leaving you for the next door neighbor then coming back after 7 years. Not sure I am gonna throw a party for him. He has to apologize for alot and hopefully win a couple before I am back on the wagon.

Re: NASCAR thread
I met Bill a few times when I was at Development.
Really a nice guy, and a clean driver. Always been a huge Elliott fan.

Re: NASCAR thread
Bill Elliot will just be making laps, that's it. No threat at all. If anything, he should take over commentating duties on NBC from when B.P. died.
