I've heard the same rumors about the JGR Toyletta's and the hp. These cars are not only winning in both the Nationwide and the Cup, they are blowing everyone else away. Busch, Hamlin, and Stewart are good(but still azz's) drivers, but they are not this dominate. Even Roush a few years ago and Hendricks last year when they were racking up the wins were not this decisive and dominate. Something is not right here. |

Re: NASCAR thread
The best part of the race was when the three clowns in the booth admitted that the only competition for JGR and The Shrub appears to be Roush-Fenway because Jack Roush isn't going to sit idly by since he doesn't like Toyota! How can you not like Roush when he publically says he hates Toyota?

Re: NASCAR thread
NASCAR is so worried about that dang wing they're missing the illegal motors in the foreign cars. They didn't notice when BigEars was faster on the straight at Lowe's than John Force's car with Mike Neff cooking some Goodyears.

Now...lemme get this straight (not Gordon straight, that's an oxymoron), the guys that finished 2, 3, and 4 would actually want to be 5th? Yeah, that's GM style thinking...

Re: NASCAR thread
I've been getting more enjoyment watching the replayed races on ESPN2, from the '80's & 90's.

I should set the record straight. I am not a Jr. nation fan. I like Jr. but I hardly think that JR. is a great driver. As for Chevy winning 18 of 36. Hmmm I think that equates to half the races won. Hmm again, lets think about this. There were more top drivers behind the wheel of a Chevy last year than there are with a Toyota this year. Chevy was not blowing out the competition week in and week out in both series. Hendricks was not the only top team in a Chevy. This year only one team can be considererd a top team with Toyletta. That one team is literally blowing off the doors in both the Nationwide and the Sprint cup. Sure that team has some very good drivers, but at this level they are not going to do this week in and week out like they are. Also, nice job there pasting and cutting to create a comment that was not made. Guess those fans of Kyle are just as tasteless as their hero is on the track. |

Same here. I really enjoy the ESPN DVD's I picked up at Wally World. At $5 each I got the 4 part series and the movie "3". I had seen the movie before and it's OK but the bonus stuff was awesome. I need to start hitting the local track this year, I'm really thinking a vintage racer may be in my future.

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm sitting here reading all these post about Kyle and it brings back some memories. Do you guys remember when Ryan Newman was winning race after race because of fuel mileage? Everyone was saying he was either cheating or NASCAR was letting him get away with it. Now it's the same deal with Kyle. I would bet that NASCAR is inspecting Kyles car more then the others just because of his dominance. With all the people and drivers watching everything going on in the garage, NASCAR would have gotten caught letting people get away with such stuff by another team. I'm sure all the other drivers and teams are keeping there eye on the #18 team too.

Re: NASCAR thread
It's not just the #18 (not surprisingly, also his IQ), but all of the JGR Cramrys. Strewrat could have had some really great finishes, had he not either ended up in the wall or blown tires on numerous occasions. Hamlin as well.

Re: NASCAR thread
Thank you, thank you. I'll be doing shows twice nightly, as well as editing, banning, and moving threads on the half hour in between...

Re: NASCAR thread
BigEars turns Hornaday and a win for the cat in the hat.
Ford gets their first win in the trucks this season. Great race to the checkers.

Re: NASCAR thread
What a finsh!
And big kudoes to the Roush racers! Mixed feelings about the Mich. race tomorrow since the last even there was to be my first race to attend. Alas, the rains came, so it became the first rained out race I attended...

Re: NASCAR thread
I guess the highlight for Ford fans tonight is the Vista Blue Shelby GT Pace Car...

Re: NASCAR thread
Yes it was a great finish. And just as sure as there is a sunset, Kyle Busch is in another on track incident. It's really getting old with this punk. That and I've lost a lot of respect for what I thought was a class guy in Joe Gibbs. The crap he is allowing his team to do week in and week out is pathetic.

It's just business. I bet he thinks bigears is a punk too. Heck, if I had a car I would probably hire him too.

Re: NASCAR thread
Sure Kyle drives pretty aggressive but he's doing what he's there to do and that is win. Do I agree with how he's getting the job done. HELL NO!!!! But he is getting it done. Checkers or wreckers I guess.
I'm still a Newman fan myself. I wonder if he will lose the Alltel sponsor because of a possible merger.

Re: NASCAR thread
I will agree that Kyle is getting it done with wins. And I guess in Nascar and any other sport it's not how you do it it's just that you get it done. But with that said, I don't see Roush, Hendricks, or RCR taking out other cars week in and week out.(granted their not winning week in or week out either). I guess I would like to see drivers win with their talent and not their ability to show they can win a demolition derby at a local county fair.

Re: NASCAR thread
As long as he keeps putting his own car into the wall, I have no problem. Teh other 42 cars seem to avoid it on a pretty regular basis. You'd think that would be on one of the first pages in "Stock Car Driving for Dummies", but then he might just be looking at the pictures...

Re: NASCAR thread
Great win for little E. That took some work to make the fuel last.
