Re: NASCAR thread
I agree. Let the other makes try it out. Otherwise, Goodyear needs to get there act together. They couldn't tell this problem was going to happen when they practiced? 10 Laps at a time is rediculous.

Re: NASCAR thread
Yea especially seeing how each tire cost $425!!!!! If I were a team owner, I would want some of my money back for those tires.

Re: NASCAR thread
If Goodyear was smart they would have bought back all of the tires. They would sell for a bunch to collectors.

Re: NASCAR thread
They'll probably end up on eBay!
I think starting tomorrow I'll try to sell my customers tires for $425/ea. and tell them they're guaranteed for 25 miles, but they're NASCAR spec...we'll see what kind of response I get.

Re: NASCAR thread
Reading everythign I can on the 'race' (hey, you gotta call it something), it sounds like NASCAR has the worst spin doctors on the planet. I think they'll end up with the 'It's racing' answer as to what happened.
All the drivers should take the pace lap and park those suckers in the pits this weekend.

Re: NASCAR thread
Yeah, the JJ-lover at work (and I'm serious, this guy is really ate up with JJ-itis) made the comment that JJ'd be winning from the pole again. (Insert another nasty pole-related commment here)
I told him; "No way, this race isn't 10 laps long".

Re: NASCAR thread
Nice to see Mark leading, it would be great for him to pull off the win.

Re: NASCAR thread
I've just about quit watching NASCAR. I haven't watched a race in a couple of months. Is JG and JJ still dating?

Re: NASCAR thread
How about that Marcos Ambrose?
Right now running 3rd with a few laps to go. He is a 2 time champion of the Aussie Supercar series. Turned down a prestigious GM (Holden) ride to drive a Ford there. Sort of the Aussie version of Bill Elliott.
