Re: NASCAR thread
Was that the first GT500 Pace car of the Nascar season? I'm not a Johnson fan, but it's better than Gordon winning it.

Re: NASCAR thread
Don't know on the GT500. It could be worse, either Gordon would make me sick as champion.

Re: NASCAR thread
It was the first time the GT500 was used as a pace car for NASCAR, I think earlier in the year a regular GT was used a the pace car. Bad news on the Gordon front, we're going to have to put up with the Robbie version next year behind the wheel of a Fusion. Don't have to like that one either...

Re: NASCAR thread
OK, thats it. I have cut and burned my Lowes card. Home Depot here I come. I can not stand Hendrick Racing and most importantly can not stomach JG or JJ.

Re: NASCAR thread
I must admitt they did earn it. Chad is more valuable then people realize. I think he just might be the best crew chief in NASCAR right now.

Re: NASCAR thread
A message from a very overrated driver in my opinion, Dale Jr. This is a quote from an interview right before the season started.
Dated - February 09, 2006 "We're going to come into the Chase and be in the top three in points,'' he said during Thursday's media day. "We'll have six or seven wins, if not more. If we lose the championship it won't be by much.'' He said he would be top three in points. He was 5th. He said he would have 6 or 7 wins, if not more. He had ONE. Boy did he eat his words. I'm glad he didn't win the cup just because of what he said back then. As you can tell, I am not a Jr. fan.

Re: NASCAR thread
Well we got 71 more days to go until the 500 I think Carl Edwards #99 will win next year's cup.

Re: NASCAR thread
I found this to be an interesting article...
http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/6167658 Especially this part... "He is a genuine person, the kind that fans should embrace," said Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Hampton, who attended eight races this season, including Sunday's finale, as Johnson's guest. "Instead, he's kind of the poster guy - when things look too good, you say 'Man, I've got to break this down and figure out what's wrong with him.' But the honest answer is there's nothing. He treats the valet the exact same way he would treat the President of the United States. You don't get that a lot in professional athletes, but with Jimmie, what you see is what you get." It's hard to figure out exactly where Johnson went wrong. Since breaking onto the Cup scene in late 2001, he has been a model of consistency on and off the track. He works hard, wins races and competes for championships. He's never punched a photographer or cursed on national TV. He's never been in trouble with the law and hasn't disrespected a NASCAR official. He shows up where he's supposed to, honors his commitments and is almost always on time. Maybe that's the problem.

Re: NASCAR thread
My wife spent the race with Evernham's 19 Pit Crew at their box and trailer (I stayed in the stands). She has press credentials and during the Homestead races she usually stays in the pits with either RYR or now Evernham. She has been a huge Elliott Sadler fan since when I was with Ford and got comp'd to the 01 Brickyard and she met him.
We go to Homestead every year. Although we were upset by him leaving Ford and RYR for Evernham I have to say they are among the nicest people. We have allways had fun, and I have had discussions with Robert and Richard Yates as well as the Wood's brothers. BTW, if anyone missed it the best and I mean the best burnout ever was Matt Kenseth after the Busch race Saturday. Both his tires actually caught fire just like back to the future. It was wild! |

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm jealous. I would love to be right in the pits like that
Why in the world did you stay in the stands!!!!!!!! I have to agree with you on Kenseth's burnout. That was awesome. That was the first time that I can think of when the rubber actually caught on fire.

Re: NASCAR thread
Hanging in the pits and haulers is more of my Wife's bag as she does alot of Photography. Before Homestead became an impound race, it was a different story then. Our seats at Homestead are great, and I enjoy watching the entire race.
In the pits, you cant "watch" the race. I split when its close to race time, plus those guys as great as they still have to work when the green drops. You really dont want to crowd them while their on the job. |

Re: NASCAR thread
True. I see your point there. I suppose you can only see the cars when they are right in front of you when you are in the pits? Don't see much action on the track.

Re: NASCAR thread
I personally like Dale JR. as a race car driver. What I don't like for the most part are his fans. Sorry Jr. fans he's not his daddy. Senior was a great driver, Jr. is a good but not great driver.
As for fans not liking Jeff Gordon. Most I find are JR. fans who carried over from their father. If Jeff Gordon hadn't come into Nascar and taken several cup championships away from the high and mighty almost God Dale Earnhardt in the prime of his career, I doubt there would be all this hate for him. Don't get me wrong, I liked Earnhardt. He was a great driver. But it don't matter who it would have been if other than Gordon. It could be Stewart, Kahne, Martin and etc. But it wasn't it was Gordon. Think about it, Martin would be hated today if it were him instead of Gordon. And some of you will say I don't like Gordon because he didn't work his way up from the dirt tracks and prove himself. Answer to that, he sure has proven it on the track over the years. You may say he's cocky and arrogant. Almost all of them are. You may say that Gordon bumped Kenseth, and has done it before. Who was the master at that? They didn't call Earnhardt the Intimidator because he would politely flash his lights and wait for you to move. If you haven't guessed, I am a fan of Jeff Gordon. For that matter I also like Jimmy Johnson. However, I also like Jr, Kenseth, and Biffle. I go to a couple of races every year and like I said, the only thing I don't like for the most part are Earnhardt fans. But then again, their rabid furver for an above average but not great driver is actually good for the sport. It's almost like a Steeler fan, loud rude and somewhat obnoxious, but good for the sport. |

Re: NASCAR thread
Not crazy about Toyota but still likey Mikey and Dale. Guess NASCAR has to appeal to the ricers to. Should be plenty of punks in the stands with pants half down with wife beaters and hat sideways. Wonder if they will put that ricer script across the hood and down the fender!
