2006 Wackbag Nascar Thread

[Beeman99]

I'll have plenty of pics. My wife does the scrapbooking thing so she
takes tons of photos. We went to California recently and she filled a one
gig memory card in less than a week. I'll have plenty of pics to post.


Good Good, I plan on posting some good championship pics on here in a month

[hangoverbuffet]

Martinsville Was wild last weekend and working on going to Dega next year. We had the perfect seats.

middle of turn one second level row two. When That rookie Douche crashed Schrader. They were right in front of us .

one of the most awesome things i had seen at a race track.. ranks up there with Tony Stewart flipping over in front of me at Daytona in 2001(then i won't a smoke fan)

[Ballbuster1]

Punching out...I'll be in Hotlanta by noon tomorrow. I'll take my
laptop with me so I'll try to let you know what I see.
I'm pumped up for this trip.

[Deadhead]

I'm finishing loading up the truck now.
Lucky I'm only an hour or so away.

If you see the hillbilly(trust me,you'll know which one-of the hundreds) say hello.

[Ballbuster1]

Made it here, no problem. We have a room in Fayetteville very near
to the track. We were there this afternoon with friends while the
Petty Racing Experience cars were running around. I got to do that
some day. I'll miss qualifying tomorrow because we are going to a
hockey game but I'll be there for all the action on Saturday & Sunday.

[Bunny™]

I cant hide my jealousy.....
Hope the weather stays decent for Martin's win on Sunday.
Lucky bastards.

[hangoverbuffet]

Yeah I'm saving now to do the Petty thing at either Daytona or Walt Disney World Speedway

And Have you guys heard Chevy is going to run the Impala ss in the car of tommrow races


I wanna see this car in the fence at every race during the Johnson Sucks Tour 2007

Weather is clearing now.. I live about 15 minutes from AMS. Should hold up with few delays if any...

Those cars really are awful looking.

[Bunny™]

Those cars really are awful looking.
Like it makes a difference what model they'll be running, they all look the same.
They could have a Chevette running the COT and people would think it's a fucking Charger.
NASCAR really fucked this one up. Nice wing, looks like a chinkyspicmobile.

[Beeman99]

Those cars really are awful looking.


I don't mind the looks of the car, they are similar to the trucks, but that wing has to go.

[hangoverbuffet]

loose the wing and give me a big ass 1980's spoiler .. with that and the big car racing should be better than ever next season

Truck racing is the best racing nascar has week in and week out.... it's because the windshields stand up in the air more

[Ballbuster1]

Weather is clearing now.. I live about 15 minutes from AMS. Should hold up with few delays if any...
Yup. Just got up about a half an hour ago and it's cool and partly cloudy
but doesn't look like rain anymore. Today's practice sessions and the
truck race should go off no problem.
As a bonus, I get to see the final IROC race here today, too.:icon_mrgr
Gotta get some breakfast and head to the track. Catch ya later!
( oh yeah, the COT looks like a rice burner now...:yuck2: )

[Sutsu]

The COT does look like a rice grinder with that godaweful PepBoyeez style alumi-wing, but the body of the car itself isn't too horrendous. It actually looks more like a real stock car than what the current body style is.

Interesting that Dodge is ditching the Charger so quickly for a car that's not really that different.

Dodge probably doesn't want the Charger to be classed with cars such as the Monte Carlo, the Fusion, etc, and to have it associated more with the Mustang, 'Vette. I don't blame them, and the Avenger definetly looks more like the Fusion

[Sutsu]

I gotta say, that was some rough racing Mark Martin did in the IROC race, beating and banging 4 wide. Now if only he'd do that in a Cup race, he'd have a damn championship by now.

It was nice seeing him get right into Newman's face after the race on pit road, where was that intensity after Yeley wrecked him at Lowes. That's two weekends in a row that Newman has pissed someone off, no wonder I can't stand him, although I would fuck his wife

Martin's intensity after Lowes was more of the "Hello, God? I know that kid sucks, but man I'm much more happier I'm praying to you now than talkin' face to face, so I'll be nice." sort. Today he was just fine so he could afford to be pissed off.

[Ballbuster1]

That was a good race. 1st IROC I have seen live. Congrats to Smoke
for winning the championship this year and Truex for winning the race.

The truck race was a good one too. Martin went out early by a slip-up
on his own. I thought Benson might take the points lead til he dropped
a drive shaft in front of us. We were on a motorhome by turn 2.
Had a great view of about 90% of the track.
Bliss had a fast truck. Not surprised he took it all.

They ran this race and will be running the Cup race later to finish
under the lights. It looked great to me. Having a blast.:action-sm

[KantSpelGi]

[Bunny™]

...and Martin goes 0-18 for championships.
Thanks for the memories.

Great race for 3rd.

[KantSpelGi]

Robby G. ugh, ugh it looked like it came out the back of my car,!
Mark Martin looks like a seventy year old man.
Bye mark ,goodguys never finish 1st.
Ask Dale Sr.
Go JR.

[Ballbuster1]

Well, unfortunately I'm back home now. What a fantastic weekend.
Before the race we got to go into the driver's motor home area.
( Friends of our's got us in ) I meet Richard & Kyle Petty and have
pics with both to post later. I also got them to autograph photos that
I took of a commemorative mini-hood I own showing the 4 generations
of the Petty family. ( Lee, Richard, Kyle & Adam ) We also saw
Harvick, J Gordon, Burton, and Biffle while we were there but
couldn't really talk to them since we weren't supposed to even
be there. Didn't want to press my luck.

I never got to meet Deadhead. Bummer. It just never worked out
since I was staying in a hotel and was usually in the infield the
rest of the time. That sucked cause I really wanted to say hi.
Maybe another time, my friend.

I'll post some pics in a day or so. Since tomorrow is Halloween
I may not get to it right away.

[Ballbuster1]

The wife ended up staying home so I got a chance to
upload some pics tonight. They can be found here:

Very Nice BB1, great pics. I can't wait until Homestead now, never been to a race before.

Robby Gordon: Roll Bar Pad throwing shitdick!
Guilty as charged (http://www.nascar.com/2006/news/headlines/cup/11/01/rgordon.penalty.ap/index.html)

Now, I kinda respect Robby. Yes, he's a hothead (which I think they should have more of) and he's fucked with Waltrip far too often, but the guy's trying to make it as a one car team in a sport dominated by Roush and Hendrick's and such... but this is just a dumbass move on his part, and he got SO caught red handed it's not even funny. I didn't even see the video until just now, and it's blatant that he threw it out the window it's friggin' hilarious he tried to do the Bill Clinton deny deny deny.

they showed it over and over again after the race and there was no way that it didn't come from inside his car. Even after the race when they caught up with him and showed Gordon the footage and he denied it you could tell in his face that he was guilty as shit. I loved how he said it looked like the debris came up from the rear of the car when you could see it flying out of the window. Dumbass, at least he didn't wreck to chasers that were running 1-2 on the last lap though like some other little shitdick we know.

[hangoverbuffet]

in the history of nascar.... they have always thrown shit out of the cars. Its just how things were... but now with the cameras you just can't get away with it

If it did not hurt someone i like... (Burton) I would have not been soo pissed but that could have taken him out of the cup.

if it happend to shit dick johnson or gordon and taken them out.. i could not have been more happier

not nascar but GO WVU

DICKIES 500 LINEUP
Brian Vickers gets the Bud Pole Award for the race in Texas
this weekend. Elliot Sadler gets the #2 slot followed by Kurt
Busch, Kasey Khane and Jimmy Johnson.
If Johnson continues to do well he may get the big prize this year.
I wouldn't bet against him at this point.

FULL LINEUP HERE (http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2006/34/data/lineup.html)

[Ballbuster1]

Good Bye, Terry. We'll miss you.
Terry Labonte will make his last start at Texas this weekend.
He's had a good run in the series and won 2 championships.
Too bad some of the newer drivers don't have the class that the
"Iceman" does. Best wishes to him whatever he does from now on.

I had too good of a time at ole Hotlanta. Hince the late reply. I am truly sorry (as in, a fat, lazy,SORRY ass.)

I hate like hell we didnt get to hook up. I think the logistics were all f'ed up (and the weather, at times.) Hell, I only got one autograph: Eric McClure (sp?) and that happened at the Walmart!

Well, theres always St. Paddys Day weekend!! or next Halloween:icon_wink

Still tryin to get pictures on the internet(trying the service you used, and couldnt figure it out, got pissed off and had to get away....any pointers?)

And I still cant post attachments.:icon_sad:

We had great seats on row 7, about 100 yards past the finish line. I got good pictures, not great, but I'll get the ones my buddy's wife took with her fancy camera.

Damn, runnin out of races.

[Sutsu]

Hmm... anyone taking any bets on Jimmie Johnson pulling through the first few spots and taking a nice swipe at that dingus Vickers within the first few laps?

[Beeman99]

as long as it involves both of them wrecking and catching Kenseth as he comes through, I would be happy.

how big of files does it allow to upload. With my camera the pics are usually around the 4-5mb range.

[Ballbuster1]

For free it's very limited, but for about 2 bucks a month you get to
upload 2 gigs of pics a month. That's alot of pics.
I have an account that I use just for my O&A pics ( see sig ) and I have
uploaded 160 pics at a time. I like it. Well worth the price, IMO.

[Bunny™]

Green-White-Checkered....
this is gonna be a good finish. Riggs should punch Harvick in the throat.

[Ballbuster1]

SMOKE WINS AGAIN!
If he didn't get so bogged down ealier this year, he'd win it all again.
Tony held off Johnson in a shootout to win at Texas.
Harvick, Kyle Busch and Clint Bowyer rounded out the top 5.

Johnson is now the points leader over Kenseth by 17 points
with JR in third 78 points back. 2 to go.

and Harvick did not mean to crash Riggs... you know how i can tell... because it took too long for him to spin. He got Riggs loose but thats racing towards the end of the race

And if Barney Rubble wants to fight... harvick will oblige him

What Harvick did to Riggs was no different from what Bowyer did to Jr earlier, but I guess Riggs is used to running near the back of the pack at the end of a race that he over reacted to Harvick taking the air off the back of his car.

[Ballbuster1]

Yeah, that was just good close, end of the night racing.
Riggs needs to get over it.

[Bunny™]

hahahahaha

#10 crew member/Harvick scuffle: reported on Speed Channel's SPEED Report by Bob Dillner, per FoxSports.com:
Emotions definitely flowed over to the postrace activities as the guys walked to the garage area. After the Dickies 500, the #10 and the #29 teams were coming down the entrance way to the garage area where all of the teams bring their pit boxes. There was an altercation between the #10 team and Kevin and DeLana Harvick. Apparently, Kevin and DeLana both got knocked down. NASCAR's Jim Hunter told me they are investigating the situation wholeheartedly and expects that there will be fined and penalties either Tuesday or Wednesday. "After the fact, right out of the moment, everybody's pretty hot-headed (and) got to running their mouth a little bit," Richard Childress Racing Director Mike Dillion said. "That's about all it was. Somebody got shoved, and they're sorting it out now. But they shoved Kevin and his wife down in front of the pit box is what was bad. Everybody out here has done it in their racing career at some point in time. It's just unfortunate. The guys need to let the drivers handle it. One of the NASCAR officials got hurt trying to stop the box," Dillion continued. "That's pretty bad, too. Hurt his ankle so they took him to the infield care center." A lot of people were called to the NASCAR trailer after this race, including Rodney Childers, the crew chief for Scott Riggs and the #10 team. He's responsible for the actions of everybody. DeLana and Kevin Harvick were both brought in as well. Several eyewitnesses were brought in. In fact, Roger Penske was up there talking to NASCAR President Mike Helton and Nextel Cup Series Director John Darby and everybody that was looking at the incident.(11-5-2006)

[hangoverbuffet]

The 10 team is lucky that Danny "Chocolate" Myers is retired or else he would have handed them all a beat down.... with one hand while lifting up Mrs Harvick and holding back Kevin with the other

Don't be surprised to see Riggs do a couple more loopy-de-loops this season now.

[hangoverbuffet]

nah i do believe harvick will fight this one off the field

But Barney Rubble and his buddies better watch their backs

[Beeman99]

nah i do believe harvick will fight this one off the field

normally I'd agree, but when Delana became part of it, I could Harvick doing something on the track as well. Nothing blatant, but if he was around Riggs and an oops happened, I would think it's not quite an oops.

[hangoverbuffet]

NASCAR just loves to lay the smack down on Harvick and i think it would be a bad move if he did cause nascar would surely give him something to think about going in to the off season

[KantSpelGi]

Anyone keeping up with the Mickey Thompson trial!

[Ballbuster1]

Anyone keeping up with the Mickey Thompson trial!
I'm really surprised it went to trial. As far as I can tell they have
nothing but circumstancial evidence in the case. I find it hard to believe
that a jury will be able to find Goodwin guilty.
He may be, but there's no real proof of it.

[hangoverbuffet]

what has Mickey Thompson done beside make expensive tires

[KantSpelGi]

True, OJ got off.
The only smart thing Goodwin did was hire two boos to pull the trigger. And they manageged to keep there mouth shut!
Almost all the friends Goodwin had at the time took cover. 795, 000.00 dollars makes some guys crazy!

[Ballbuster1]

what has Mickey Thompson done beside make expensive tires
Quite alot actually:
He invented the slingshot dragster.
He was the 1st person to go over 400 mph.
He designed the "Starting Tree" that is in use for drag racing to this day.
And of course, his work in tire development for racing.

[KantSpelGi]

He took off road racing to stadiums.

[hangoverbuffet]

no no no i meant what did he do that got him in to legal trouble

[Beeman99]

Well, I'm going to finally say it, I'm going to watch JJ win the cup next sunday at Homestead. Unless he blows up and Junior wins, I can't see any other scenario for Johnson not doing it. Little depressed about it, but what the hell, I'm going to Florida to watch the last race of the year in 80 degree weather, much nicer than the -15 degree weather here right now.

[Sutsu]

For Junior to win the cup, JJ has to blow up and Jr. has to make up 56 points on Kenseth, even less on Hamlin or Harvick (those two would have to make up even less on Kenseth). It's not totally out of the question for that to happen, considering JJ did wreck there last year, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on that.

[Mother Shucker]

Hendrick always wins in the end.

[Ballbuster1]

Hendrick always wins in the end.
Not always. Jimmy has been the bride's maid a few times. He hasn't
won it yet. He has the best shot and it's his to lose, but it ain't over yet.

[hangoverbuffet]

Hendrick always gives it in the end

CATCH AIDS JEFF AND JIMMIE


Im ready for next year so bad right now

[peeweedeewee]

Yeah and so cant the Pettys these days....but I think the 43 will back in victory lane again soon i can feel it.

[Ballbuster1]

Yeah, but unfortunately it won't be with this guy:

More-Gooder:action-sm The Chevy shirt and a beer company!

Do the Pettys still keep the booze logos off there cars?

[Beeman99]

sounds like Jr is running double duty in Homestead this weekend, can't wait.

[Ballbuster1]

Yeah, from what I've read he'll be driving a red #8 Bud sponsered
car in both the Cup and Busch races this weekend.

[hangoverbuffet]

Yeah the petty's are still anti beer

[Beeman99]

I leave later tonight for Homestead, so I've got my shit packed and my scanner set, I'll make sure to take some pic's and post them here, and maybe I'll pull a Jimmy and get some with a few drivers as well.

[Ballbuster1]

NEXTEL CUP FINALE
Kasey Khane gets the Bud Pole Award for the season ending
Ford 400. The Dodge of Scott Riggs gets the outside slot.
Johnson rolls off 15th with JR and Harvick in front of him.
The other 2 drivers with a shot at the title are starting behind
him. JJ needs to be points racing this week if he really wants to
win the title. It's obviously his to lose at this point.

FULL LINEUP HERE (http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2006/36/data/lineup.html)

[Ballbuster1]

Johnny Benson had some problems tonight that let Todd Bodine
grab his 1st series win. Todd finished 21st but that was good
enough to clinch the title since Benson finished 26th and fell
to 127 points behind him. Johnny did manage to hold on to the
2nd place in the standings though.

FINAL POINT STANDINGS (http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2006/data/standings_unofficial.html)

[Sutsu]

For JJ to lose, he has to blow an engine or get wrecked, neither of which are totally out of the question (just very unlikely). Junior doesn't seem to run well here, nor does Kenseth, so if JJ does go down, I'll go out on a limb and say it's either going to be Hamlin or Happy winning their first championships.

Has a rookie ever taken it their first time out? It would be a hoot for Denny to win both the Shootout, a few races, and the Cup his first year.

[Ballbuster1]

Homstead hasn't been a good track for JJ but I just have to believe
that he will do it this year. Things are going too well for him.
I don't see him losing it unless he wrecks or blows up.

[hangoverbuffet]

A Rookie has never been a cup champion.... if i was a driver in the Cup Series today and that happens I would be ashamed of my self as a person and a driver and if JJ loses today because of a mistake he or his team made ... he should hang him self from the start finish line or a little less extreme retire from racing and hide

[Ballbuster1]

BIFFLE WINS THE RACE
JJ WINS THE CUP
Biffle hangs onto win the Ford 400 to finish the season.
Johnson come home in 9th to guarentee he finally wins the big one.
Matt Kenseth came in 6th and stayed in 2nd in the points.

Did you know that Jimmie got aids from another Jimmy..... our very own little Jimmie Norton

[Mother Shucker]

JJ smokes all of NASCAR and wins the 2006 championship.

Hendrick has won how many now? Hard to count that high.

[Sutsu]

JJ smokes all of NASCAR and wins the 2006 championship.

Hendrick has won how many now? Hard to count that high.

They've won one championship for every 10 fans that boo the living crap out of Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch.

Congrats to JJ. I wonder if he'll be calling the b-b-b-boys tomorrow?
Congrats to Denny Hamlin for dominating the rookie class this year. I hope he doesn't fall into the same sophomore slump that Khane and Edwards fell into.

Did Mikey Waltrip say "Your Mom's Box" to Dodge at all today? Bring on the Toyotas!!

[hangoverbuffet]

Mother Shucker: JJ smokes all of NASCAR and wins the 2006 championship. Hendrick has won how many now? Hard to count that high.

if you mean NASCAR is a pole then yeah JJ smokes it

and hendrick has 6.... but with three different drivers.

Richard Childress has 6 with one driver.


Sutsu: Did Mikey Waltrip say "Your Mom's Box" to Dodge at all today? Bring on the Toyotas!!

Indeed sir.... i can't wait to go to Waltrip Racing world in the spring when it opens BRING ON THE TOYOTAS

[Mother Shucker]

Richard Childress has 6 with one driver.

How's he doing?

[Sutsu]

How's he doing?

What I wouldn't do for that picture of the two old guys on little rascles, with the one going into the wall and a 3 on his chair...

[Ballbuster1]

And so the season comes to an end. Time to unsticky this one.
See you all next season. :action-sm

[Beeman99]

Well, I'm finally home from sunny southern Florida, and I'm more than happy to get out of that cultural melting pot. Race weekend was awesome, getting to see Martin win the truck race was kind of special as it could well be his last win in any Nascar division. The Busch race was good, I was sitting row 6 right at the start finish line and between Kenseth's burnout that left the track on fire and Harvicks hellacious burnout it made it worth sitting that low. One thing at Homestead is you can sit somewhat low and still see the corners and backstretch. The cup race was an unreal experience (first time), Jr flew on the first long green flag run and when he was out front for the 40 some laps, it was wild in the stands. Sucked he and Smoke finished shitty, but watching Montoya blow up and even seeing Johnson winning the championship was cool. I have a shitload of picture and when I get a chance I'll post some either here or on some other site linked here.

I have a shitload of picture and when I get a chance I'll post some either here or on some other site linked here.
Glad you had a good time. Can't wait to see the pics. I really hate that the season is over. Just 85 more days til the Daytona 500.

here some of them are, I took damn near 300 pics, but these are the better one. I wish I would've taken my good digital camera as the old one I took isn't the best.

Thanks for the pics, Beeman. Looks like you had a great time.

I watched the pre-banquet show tonight. Melissa Rivers?
How low can Nutcar go?

Mohr rules. I feel bad for him though. He's eating his balls up there cuz of all the stuffed suits in the room. Goddamit people laugh. He's a funny fuckin guy.

The whole event makes them look like dumb hillbillys.
Nascar owns every one of them and it sucks to watch them being put in positions that they have to look at there pr people to see what is OK to laugh at.

I haven't watched any of the awards stuff yet, all taped though. One question, does anyone know when tickets for the fall race at Lowes go on sale? I want to head there next fall but all that's up is the summer race there. I was going to go to 'Dega or Martinsville but I'd rather not go to a COT race in the cars first year. I could easily go to two races a year now, being at one live was awesome, although 12-14 hours at the track for three days makes for one hell of a hangover.
