2006 Wackbag Nascar Thread

[Ballbuster1]

Time to get it going again.
Just a little over a month til the Bud Shootout.
Lots of driver changes for the new season.
Here's the run down of this year's races :
2006 Schedule (http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2006/data/schedule.html)

[Dream Weaver]

Any Fantasy League?

[Ballbuster1]

Definately. I want to hear from the fans about that.
I've played them in the Nascar leagues and on Yahoo.
Whatever the majority would like we'll go with.
I prefer the Yahoo racing myself.
I'll start a new thread in the fantasy leagues forum
and we can vote on it.

[Sutsu]

I'd go for a fantasy league this year.

Things I'm looking to see for this year:
Truex possibly out running Jr., and on that note, will Jr. or Jeff Gordon pull out of their funk first?
Roush re-dominance or a total crash and burn by some drivers (sophmore syndrome on Edwards, McMurray not pulling his weight)?
How many races Waltrip makes since Bill Davis has no owner points to fall back on/how soon they announce Toyota as their car for '07 or '08?
Will Loomis and LaBonte bring a new life to Petty Enterprises?
What wacky new rules will NASCAR come up with this year?

And of course...
Is the race on FOX, NBC, TNT, ABC or ESPN this week damnit??
I personally wish that they'd drop NBC/TNT and let FOX take it all, or maybe give ABC some of it depending on what kind of crew they have calling the races this year. The only good thing about NBC/TNT calling this past year's races was I really think there was some tension brewing that could have turned into one of those ABC7 morning news/"muhlanianauss" type moments.

[Bunny™]

The ESPN/ABC deal doesnt take affect until 2007, so it's pretty much the same this year as it has been for the last few seasons.
Great point about Mikey's 55 team, he has the owners points from the 23 team last year (basically none), so he is really gonna have to step up the qualifying effort.
I am pulling for Mark, Bobby Labonte, and Truex Jr this year...I hope they can all get it done. Especially Bobby/Kyle/Robbie and PE. I would love to see them get some of their glory back.

[CM Mark]

Well, I still care about the same 4 cars, 8, 9, 15, 29.

I think this will be Kasey's year.

[Papagolash]

Wow, this is the 1st time in my life I won't have Rusty Wallace to cheer for.... :(

[Dream Weaver]

now you get to cheer for that wonderful Kurt Busch :-))

[Sutsu]

now you get to cheer for that wonderful Kurt Busch :-))

*ahem* I think I speak for many of us here when I say... fuckthatshit. Hopefully him and his whiny lil' bro get wiped out first lap at Daytona.

15 = no more Mikey Waltrip there, gally. Teresa wouldn't let him take the number to Bill Davis Racing. Hopefully he can make it work early and quickly to stay in the races. It'll be tough with no dealer support from Dodge. I got a bad feeling either Mikey's gonna break out and kick ass... or it's gonna be a loooooooooooong year looking foreward to Toyota's debut.

[CM Mark]

EDIT: Just found somewhere else on NASCAR.com that he will be in the #55 car. Still sponsored by NAPA though.

[Papagolash]

now you get to cheer for that wonderful Kurt Busch :-))

I plan on doing that, he's one of the drivers I cheer for every week.

Before the Bud Shootout starts off the Nascar season I like to catch
the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. A bunch of Nascar drivers will be
competing in this race.
You'll get to see Rusty drive the #2 Pontiac Crawford along with
Danica Patrick, Boris Said and Allan McNish.
Smoke will be driving one of the Crawfords along with Andy Wallace
and Butch Leitzenger.
Other drivers expected to participate are Bobby Labonte, Jimmy Johnson,
Kurt Busch, Casey Mears and Randy LaJoie.
Should be fun to watch.

[NORTONnFRIENDS]

Im so in folks. Its too bad we have a huge 3 month off season. BTW had nascar in car via cable company. Not really that cool. If ya have 2 tv's next to each other it would rock. Almost useless with out DVR too. Youll change the channel to the main race and your driver's gona be involved in something and ya cant see first hand view. No replays in the incar!

[Ether]

I've been a fan of Tony's since his rookie year!


HE CAN DO IT AGAIN!

I watched it for the free preview period. It was different, but I couldn't
see paying for it. About all it was really good for was watching the
race when the commercials were on.
I get better coverage just taping a race and watching it later.

Busch Series Schedule (http://www.nascar.com/races/bg/2006/data/schedule.html)
Craftsman Truck Series Schedule (http://www.nascar.com/races/truck/2006/data/schedule.html)

Love the truck series. Saw the inagural truck race at Dover.
Had a great time. I'll see if I can dig up some pics. I had pit
and garage passes for the weekend so I got some good shots.

[TDRacing13]

I love the trucks, i go to Daytona every year for the 500 and the best racing by far is the trucks. The IROC cars put on a great show too

[Ballbuster1]

I want to know when Dale is gonna race the truck!
I still get the feeling that some time UPS is going
to sponser him for a Craftsman truck race.

[Sutsu]

That's what my guess is too, big brown UPS F150 tearing it up. I figured they'd have it for this season, but maybe next? Will he run a dual schedule or will he retire from full cup seasons to do the trucks?

[Ballbuster1]

Sirius bails as the sponsor at Watkins Glen.
Sirius is in a high-stakes battle with rival XM Satellite Radio to build programming and subscribers in hopes of becoming profitable some day. The company, which in October 2004 signed Stern to a long-term deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, said in a recent regulatory filing that at the end of September it had accumulated a loss of $2.4 billion.
Can you say cash-flow problems? :icon_mrgr
Full story here (http://www.nascar.com/2006/news/headlines/cup/01/13/bc.car.theglen.titlespo.ap/index.html)

[Bunny™]

To follow up the Sirius announcement...
Dale Earnhardt Junior to host show on XM Satellite Radio..
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060119/dcth016.html?.v=41

[Sutsu]

Can we get Hugh to please sponsor XM at the Glen? Show 'em what a real Satellite Radio company can do for sponsorship?

[diceisadick]

Jimmy Johnson is going to be doing a show on xm also...WFO!!!

[Bunny™]

Michael Waltrip Racing / Bill Davis Racing team up with Jasper Motorsports
BDR #55 team with Waltrip as driver will use #77's 2005 owner points
As a long-time fan of Mikey's (from way back in the Bahari Racing days)..this is great news, as Michael's new 55 NAPA Dodge didn't have enough owner points to guarantee a start in the first 5 races of the upcoming season.

http://www.michaelwaltrip.com/news.php?id=263&PHPSESSID=982e492d37b0713d0d4072ae6e1c69c1

[Sutsu]

That's good to hear. With no factory support, Mikey's going to have a hard enough time as is this year. Can't wait for the Toyotas to come in.

[Deadhead]

Wow, this is the 1st time in my life I won't have Rusty Wallace to cheer for.... :(


I painted my camper just like Rusty's car last year ( not to mention the other side was painted like Bobby Labonte's for my wife )

Now everybody will think I pull for Dumbo!

[SpamChunks]

so who is driving the 40 car this year? didn't sterling hang it up? also, does anyone know if dodge is using hemi's in the dodge cars?

[Ballbuster1]

Looks like David Stremme will be driving the Coors car.
As far as I know, the hemi isn't legal in Nascar competition.

[Bud8Weiser]

so who is driving the 40 car this year? didn't sterling hang it up? also, does anyone know if dodge is using hemi's in the dodge cars?
Sterling is still around. He's running the 14 car sponsored my Waste Management.

[Sutsu]

Why wouldn't the HEMI's be legal? S'far as I know, all that makes a Hemi is a different cylinder head design. If it's been approved by NASCAR, no reason they can't.

[SpamChunks]

well in the late 60's and early 70's, hemi's were kicking the shit out of everyone else, and then dodge left nascar.

[Ballbuster1]

well in the late 60's and early 70's, hemi's were kicking the shit out of everyone else, and then dodge left nascar.
Hemi engines were banned by Nascar back then and I don't think the
rules have changed on that one. The approved block/head design is the
one that was the foundation for the 340 motor. They can max it out
to 358 CID.
The current Hemi, while small enough in displacemant, has not been
approved for use yet and I doubt it will be for now.

[Papagolash]

anyone see the COT? Fucking ugly, fugly too.

[Sutsu]

The COT isn't too bad, it at least looks like a stock car. My biggest complaint is that they're putting a riceboy wing on it. Granted, I'm sure they'll actually set it up so that it will be a useful wing, but it'll just lead to more Chevy's joining the Hondas and Nissan's that have those Godaweful things stuck to their trunks.

[Ballbuster1]

[SpamChunks]

this car of tomorrow, are they all going to look the same, or are they just using the same design features?

[Ballbuster1]

It's my understanding that most of the body parts will share
common templates. There will probably be minor front or rear
view differences so you can identify a perticular make, but
they will probably be pretty much the same.

[Beeman99]

with the COT it's going to start feeling like the IROC series, or at least very close to it. I like the fact Nascar is making everything safer, but it's going to get damn boring watching everyone on the exact same playing field, where it is more luck than anything that gets the win. Have to wait and see, still another year away, and if I recall it's only going to be in certain races that the COT is used in '07

[Ballbuster1]

Yeah, the concept is going to be phased in over a few years. The
temporary schedule is discussed in the article I posted earlier.

I had read that before. I don't agree with them using it mainly at short tracks. Go to where the majority of pile ups and injuries occur. Daytona, Dega, Lowes, and Bristol would be the main ones I'd look at. Phoenix is good, Martinsville is another good one to test at, narrow track, see how the wider cars do on it.

[The Hole]

I'd go for a fantasy league this year.

Things I'm looking to see for this year:
Truex possibly out running Jr.

DEI will never allow that even though I think Truex is as good if not a better driver then Jr. I just want to see more non Rousch drivers In the chase that 50% sucked.

Jeff Gordon IS GAY

Its gonna be a repeat this year 20 all the way

[Deadhead]

Deadhead,did you go to the Bristol spring race last year?
No, but I have been going to Atlanta races for the last 12 years(the last 9 yrs camping from thursday to monday)

BTW... I DID name my daughter Bristol ... "How bad have you got it?"

[FatassTitePants]

Mikey is going to have a REALLY tough season with a new team and no factory support. I am talking Robby Gordon tough, but I guess he is just setting himself up for next year with Toyota.
I hope I finally get to see the 43 take a checkered flag.
And I am in on the fantasy league. I never did one before for racing, but I do like Yahoo fantasy football, so I assume I would like the racing one, too.
Is anybody getting to any tracks this season?

[Sutsu]

My brother and I usually hit up the second Pocono race of the season, and last year I got to the Dover Chase race, might do it again this year too. I really want to hit up Talladega one of these days though.

Wanted to go to Vegas this year, but it didn't work out. Next year it's going to be Fontana and Vegas

[FatassTitePants]

Wanted to go to Vegas this year, but it didn't work out. Next year it's going to be Fontana and Vegas
Is it true that you can't take beer into those tracks? I think Vegas is going to be repaved this year with steeper turns.
BTW, I will be at both Poconos, Richmonds, and the Oct. Martinsville. I am with Sutsu, I want to make it to Talladega. If you've been, please let me know if it is as nuts as it's protrayed to be.

[Deadhead]

...about Talladega... If you go, make damn sure you have a seat really high up in the stands. My wife and I got free tickets and they were on row 7 just past pit road. All you could see were the tops of the cars and going into the high banks of turn one- the rest was seen on the jumbo-tron.

Oh, and you had pretty much be an Earnhardt or a jr fan if you go----I'm a good ole boy from the south, but there are some shore-nuff REDNECKS OVER THERE!!! LOL:icon_lol:

[The Hole]

Took a camper down to Talledage with like 15 of my friends. ME being a yankee I thought how bad could it be. That place scared me I thought for sure we were dead on many occasions with some of the rednecks around us and my friends running there mouths. Other then that it was the best time I have ever had at a track. Dont really remember the race or if we even made it to our seats.

Im trying to make it to Loudon, Bristol and ATL this year, just not sure what rice at Bristol and ATL. Really want to go to the night race at Bristol

it would be kick ass to get a wow sticker

Good for Mears. It's a shitty deal that they took him out of the 41 right when they started to show they could win any race. The 42 team is a good team, but I hope it doesn't take too long for the chemistry to form like it had last year for him on the 41.

Ithink he is racing for bdr.
he just went partners with the eather team.
they hired bdr,to supply cars and driver.
so mikey just hired himself to drive for there new team?
I may have this wrong.
But that's the way it reads out.

[TDRacing13]

Yea basicaly Waltrip Racing owns the team and Mikey is going to be using all BDR cars and hiring BDR employees to work on the cars.

[Beeman99]

Yea basicaly Waltrip Racing owns the team and Mikey is going to be using all BDR cars and hiring BDR employees to work on the cars.

This is a big mistake for Mikey, his Busch team isn't that good, and starting a new cup team is a brain cramp for him. DEI wanted him out, which didn't bother me, he's a good guy, an ok driver, but his time is gone(even though he would have won a few races last year if not for shitty luck) and he should just stick with an established org. It would be like Schrader starting his own cup team, good guy, not bad driver, but time is gone.

Congrats to my wife's cousin, David Regan. Even though he didn't win Roush's Driver X- He will share a ride in the Craftman Trucks with Mark Martin ( he will drive all but the 7 races that Martin does)

Junior looks good so far in both practices, can't wait for the year to get started.

[Ballbuster1]

Impound rules relaxed but not dead:
Fewer Impound Races In 2006
The NASCAR impound rule is not dead yet, but the number of races where it will be used will be drastically reduced for 2006. NASCAR will impound the Nextel Cup cars at five races in 2006: Both Talladega events, both Richmond events, and the Pepsi 400 at Daytona.
The impound rule was used at 21 of the 36 races in 2005. Neither of the Talladega events was an impound race last year. The rule was consistently criticized throughout the year as vastly different weekend schedules led to confusion and large amounts of downtime. An impound race usually featured two Friday practices and Saturday Bud Pole Qualifying instead of the traditional Friday Bud Pole Qualifying and Saturday practices.

[TDRacing13]

anyone here going to the 500, im leaving wed to drive down.

Hey AFRO (and anyone else new to NASCAR)
Here's a suggestion. Watch as much Speed Channel this weekend and week as you can. Watch the "rain out" shows and you will get to see a lot of the drivers joking around and cutting up. This might help you to get to know the drivers a little better. After that, pick about 3 or 4 to keep up with during the practices and races.

Also, check out qualifing , the shoot-out on Sunday and the 125's on Thursday afternoon. The annoucers throw out a lot "For you new fans" and explain alot of terms and let you know whats going on.

Finally, join the Wackbag Fanasty League.
Hope this helps out.:action-sm

pre-race stuff lasts all week, the show goes live on 4 days.

[Save My Up's Dick]

WTF! where is qualifying on NBC...I'm watching some child abuse story.:icon_evil

[medium_rare]

They're playing all the shit they pre-empted because of 72 hours of snow coverage. Now the fucking mclaughlin group is on. No wonder NBC's in last place. NASCAR.com has a live qualifying link on its homepage, and you don't have to sign up for anything. I have no idea what other shit they pre-empted. As of 12:35pm, only 3 cars have been out so by one, we can see most of the field.

[Deadhead]

I know how yall felt! I've got nbc channel 4 out of New York on my dish. I was so pissed I was ready to beat someone too! Thank goodness for the XM!

[thanksalotbro]

Yeah, but they all suck. Used to good ones where you could control car setup, driver preparation, but now they are all pay sites and the rules changes when Nextel took over from Winston have thrown the computers off and results are all fucked up.

[Mother Shucker]

OH come on! They just put on cross country sking with less then 10 qualifiers left. No NBC, I did not want to see Tony Stewert or Jeff Gordon qualify, I wanted to see Swenn Yergenpengenoffer from Norweigastand qualify for the 14.698 k. cross cuntee skiing.

[Mother Shucker]

Sadler almost made the front row. Missed by .039 miles per hour. He had the exact same time as Jarrett at 47.657 seconds. That is fucking close.

But instead of watching that drama, I am watching selfish gook girl, who knew she was injured, talk about why she dropped out.

FUCK U NBC.

[Ballbuster1]

NBC sucks ass. I hate Benny Parsons, he's the John Madden of Nascar.
He was a good driver, but he stinks in the booth.

[Mother Shucker]

Stewart only 17th. Fuck him.

nbc just went to a local outdoor show.

The whole top 35 guranteed stuff is fucking crap. I like Waltrip, but jsut because he goes and buys someones points from last year, now he is guaranteed a spot in the race. And a guy like Truex and some of the opther rookies, get in because of how someone raced last year. I know this is only true for the first 5 races ro so, but still its stupid.

[thanksalotbro]

Is the race on FOX, NBC, TNT, ABC or ESPN this week damnit??
I personally wish that they'd drop NBC/TNT and let FOX take it all, or maybe give ABC some of it depending on what kind of crew they have calling the races this year. The only good thing about NBC/TNT calling this past year's races was I really think there was some tension brewing that could have turned into one of those ABC7 morning news/"muhlanianauss" type moments.

I gotta agree. Everyone I talk to says that FOX rules for Nascar (and football) coverage and I HATED it last year when Fox handed everything over to NBC/TNT in the middle of the season. No personalities on NBC and they talk like morning zoo crew DJs

[thanksalotbro]

nbc just went to a local outdoor show.
Nascar screwed up giving nbc the covarage this year with the oly games going on,fox should have had it this year.
Thank God for XM

[Ballbuster1]

That's it..........It's the Jeff & Jeff show for the 500.
I was close. My top 4 predictions were 2nd thru 5th. :icon_wink

[Mooseman]

The bud shootout is today at 4:30 on TNT. The 500 is next sunday on NBC. After that the races move to FOX until July. I think nexy year ESPN/ABC will share the second half of the season.

Jeff Burton won the pole, wow thats impressive!

NBC switched to X-Country skiing. Nothing I like better to follow subpar NASCAR Coverage then to watch a bunch of European Faggots in Lycra chasing each other on skis

No shit...its about time for him. Looks like RCR is getting serious and not just promoting Harvick, but using the team concept like Rousch did last year and proved could work. The Chevy teams need to do that too, and shut down Ford and Dodge.

[jaysnachos]

what's up boys? ready to race?
so pissed it rained out last night
and fuck how come newman caN WIN THE DAMN POLE
every other time but barely to 20?

DAMN!!!!!!!

[Ballbuster1]

With Pontiac out of the picture, Chevys almost out number the other
makes by 2 to 1. Ford will be fielding the least number of cars this
year. But, the Fusion has looked good so far in testing.

WTF happened to Kyle Petty? He was so good in practice but stunk
in qualifying. Bobbie had a good run with the 43 car. Maybe a Petty
car can actually win a race this year?

[jaysnachos]

yea bb1 listening to mrn kyle had tranny problems
bobby looks tough
but them yates boys damn!!!

[Ballbuster1]

but them yates boys damn!!!
That's why I figured on either them or Gordon & JJ to be upfront.
I wasn't far off. They all looked good in practice. This should be
a good race to kick off the fantasy league with.

[jaysnachos]

well done 11
lets see how much tony helps out the next 36races

[Ballbuster1]

Hamlin owes Smoke big-time for this one. The kid ran a good race,
but Tony helped him get this win.

[Beeman99]

Hamlin is looking like last years Edward's. This kid has potential. Junior finished second, can't wait for the Duels and the 500. Could be a good year to be a 8 fan.

[Beeman99]

Newman stinks !

The only good thing about Newman is we get to drool over his wife for 10 months of the year.

[KantSpelGi]

Damn its great havin the heart thumpin again!
HERE! HERE!

[Buddahman7]

Great job by Denny. Was hoping Tony could pull it off but thats almost just as good. He definately owes Tony for helping him out.

And Kyle Busch is a dumbfuck. Worse then his midget brother. Which is saying a lot.

[spikesglaring]

That was a great race, and it's great to see Junior at the front again. I can only hope it carries throughout speedweeks & onto the following races.

And how about those post-race comments by Smoke & Junior? I'm pretty sure everyone was thinking it, but you got to love the fact Tony tells it like it is. Nascar is going to have to address RP racing sooner or later. I hope it isn't at the cost of another driver's life...

[Buddahman7]

Yeah they do have to address it but I don't think Tony was talking about bump drafting like the reporter said. I think he was talking about the rough driving of some guys....Kyle Busch, Jamie McMurrary, Ryan Newman, among some others.

[Dugout Doug]

Jesus, what is he, 12? Great race though!!!

[Deadhead]

Great run there Hamlin! Yall better watch this kid, he's gonna do big things this year( just like last!) Edwards got rim job by NASCAR!
And lastly, quote by my wife
"Fuck you Stewart! Why didn't you ever help Bobby Labonte like that!"
Over all... Great fuckin start to the season!!!!

Sir bobby has lost it. Ya ok he had a great qual. run but other than that he has lost his edge. Not to mention his temper. He cant seem to keep it down. When your racing 42 other cars and have a huge temper, ya aint gona do well even if a team mate pushes you all the way around the track.

[Sutsu]

The only time I've seen Labonte lose his cool was after last year's Coke 600 when he coulda won but JJ pulled it off. And even then he only gave his car a good punt. I hope Bobby does good with Petty.
Good job, kid.. lemmie pop you up on my fantasy league Daytona 500 roster real quick.

Glad to see Mikey did pretty decent in that Dodge of his (aside from the very beginning and end).

I was wondering the same thing, but 145 sucks a nut half the time, it's mainly dead air. It's going to suck next year when Sirius has Nascar, I might be tempted to buy it just for that reason.

[TDRacing13]

they just said on Victory Lane that Jimmy Johnson was DQ during post qualifying inspection. He had an illegal panhard bar mount, which would explain the tire rub during qualifying.

I can't stand JJ or CK mainly due to the fact that they both feel they can do whatever the fuck they want and not get punished by Nascar because they driver for Hendrick's and there is a lot of money behind them. I hope Johnsons crashes in the 150's and then does the same at the 500, be a perfect ending to a cheaters week.

It'd be nice to see the 3 DEI cars and Mikey near the front of the grid next sunday, but then again I'm biased.

[Sutsu]

Given how Ken Schrader raced during the Shootout, I wouldn't put him too deep in the field. I'd like to see Mikey do well, as well as the DEI boys, but there were a LOT of good cars that will be tough to beat this year.
If Denny Hamlin can do as well in the 500 as he did in the Shootout (provided Smoke doesn't decide to take the lead from him) he could really wow us all.

I don't think Schrader will win any races this year, but I do expect him to win a pole or two and have a fair number of top tens. He's with Wood brothers, which are a good team with good equipment, unlike BAM, which was a wannabe team with rotten equipment.

I think this'll really be the deciding year of whether Ken should hang it up or not. He was barely a blip on the radar with BAM racing, but he surely made good during the shootout and the Wood Bros have the goods to get the job done.

From what I've heard this is his last kick at the cat in Cup racing. Next year he'll be joining Martin in the Truck series. Although if he has a good year, I wouldn't be surprised to see Schrader stick around at the cup level.

[TDRacing13]

I think Schrader has a shot to win some races this year, but he needs to get his confidence back after driving junk for so many years. I think Kyle Petty put it best when he said tell a chicken hes a duck for long enough, sooner or later hes gonna believe it. Schrader is one of the best and most versital drivers in the cup series right now, but he needs to remember how to win races.

:clap: :clap: Here, Here!
Schrader has proven he can drive the wheels off anything he gets in. Granted, I'm not saying he will win a race this year, BUT HE WILL STEP IT UP A NOTCH OR TWO. Not to mention, he will be a good "c" driver down the road. And as far as next year in the trucks(yes , he did say last year he would go full time in one), He will be just like the many cup-to-truck-drivers who WILL dominate in the series.

[Ballbuster1]

That's what I like about the truck series. Several drivers who were
decent but not great in Winston Cup are putting on a good show now
in the truck races. You've got the new kids running against the veterans
and it makes for great racing.

Exactly. It reminds me of the old days of Nascar, the old teaching the new the how to and what not to do the old way. It'll be weird though to see Mark Martin as a rookie in the NCTS next year.

Be interesting to hear JJ's excuse for the cheating in Pole Qualifying. I hope they fine him at least 50 points.

The 20 car looks good this year. A repeat is not out of the question. Hope Jr. turns a better year than last.

[Beeman99]

The 20 car looks good this year. A repeat is not out of the question. Hope Jr. turns a better year than last.

Joe Gibbs(20 and the 11, not so sure about the 18)and Roush are going to pick up right where they left off last year. Hendricks is going to be a force, but if they keep getting caught cheating I hope they crash and burn. I'm really looking forward to DEI this year, Jr and Jr could be a two car wrecking crew at certain tracks (restrictor plate, short tracks, flat tracks) and you know the 8 has something to prove this year. I can't wait for the show to get going.

[Ballbuster1]

They took it easy on JJ today. Can't wait to hear the interview with
Jr tomorrow. He's a little more likely to have heard the show or at
least get the ribbing. Should be interesting. I'll be listening.

[Buddahman7]

I'm sure most of you were aware of the "Talladega Nights" movie that Will Ferrel Nascar movie. I found the long trailer for it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Looks really fuckin' stupid if you ask me.

Anything with Will Ferrel is really fuckin' stupid. He's another SNL regect that is as funny as catching aids from a chinese trannie. The best Nascar movie ever was the IMAX one, and that was a fucking documentry. People still treat Nascar as some redneck hillbilly function when in fact it is the most popular sport in america, gaining strength up here in Canada, and is the most exciting form of motorsports out there. Will Ferell should die in a fiery car crash for making this pathetic excuse of a movie.

[Beeman99]

Jr tomorrow. He's a little more likely to have heard the show or at

Of course they took it easy on JJ, he's a winner with strong backing. If it was say Robby Gordon's crew cheif that did this I think it would've been a much more aggresive interview on both parties parts. Juniors interview will be good. Anytime Jr or Smoke are interviewed it's always good for some laughs. BTW, that show Jr did on monday actually wasn't half bad.

Glad to see R Gordon race his way in this year, shitty for Riggs though. Again though it's going to be Hendricks, DEI, Roush or Yates that wins it, and my money is on DEI this year. Junior looks good, and I can see only Sadler or Fag Gordon possibly beating him this year

I think he will. He has new, young, talented teammates(nothing against Mikey, but still), he's more confident this year than I've ever seen, and he's got a crew chief he can work with. Proof came today, the car was super tight, they came and pitted, and he came in a strong third. I think he could've passed Sadler if Edwards hadn't cut him off.

That was a good IROC race.....except some of those guys really don't know how to race on a super speedway in a stock car......sam hornish taking out Tony who hit Mark......Mark wasn't happy at all after that saying he doesn't think to much of Hornish Jr. Then Frank Kimmel who should know how to run at Daytona just ran all over Kinzer.....anyone see Kinzers swollen eye on Speed? He said Tony is probably right about the bump drafting. And yes Kenseth that boring un exciting peice of shit just couldn't handle being passed at the end so he almost had to take Truex Jr. out.....what a dickhead move.

tough choice today between busch race and USA hockey.....urg guess I can Tivo hockey and watch it later I just can't get into tape delayed races.

Go Smoke

[Beeman99]

Damn Jr, if you would've pitted you woulda won. Good race though, nice to smoke win, but it would've been nicer to see Jr do it. Can't wait for the 500.

[Beeman99]

Was that $$$$$ I see in her sparkling eyes....obviously

No argument there, but he knows he gets to fuck a hot piece of ass when he gets home.

[Ballbuster1]

The Busch race was nuts. They were just killing each other near the
end of it. 3 wide and 3 rows deep all the way around the track.
You just knew a big wreck was coming. That crash coming to the flag
was wild. Nascar wants to see all the videos before finalizing the finishing order.

[Beeman99]

If Jr would've pitted instead of staying out like a dumbass he would've won, but the last 10 races was the best end to a race I've seen in years.

Nice, Johnson dedicates the race to all of us who despise him.

I also like how he finally admitted to causing all of these wrecks on Superspeedways after finally winning the 500 (these crashes & other bonehead moves & comments are why I hate him by the way... nothing to do with him being a Hendrick driver).

I used to look forward to the plate races. I don't anymore. I'm really starting to hate them. Something has to be done. They never finish without a big wreck at the end. Its annoying. Maybe once they start using the car of tomorrow it will be better. They are supposed to be less aero dependent. They seem to be a little more boxy so they'll be slower and punch a bigger whole in the air. We can only hope.

I was really hoping he would have had a good finish. That sucked for him. I felt bad for Kyle Petty too.

[Beeman99]

Good race, too bad the cheater won, but he ain't going to win the cup this year. Junior had a car to win but a mental mistake on his part and no help kept him from winning. I was actually cheering for that pansie Newman to spin JJ out, but I guess he was bound to win it sooner or later.

I like Smoke, but he blew it by bitching about rough driving and then having run in's with Gordon, JJ, Kenseth and Busch. Can't wait for Cali.

[Beeman99]

I agree. Green is a douche.

Hence why he isn't going to do shit in the 66. It's too bad HAAS won't give Bootie a driver to work with, he is one of the best crew cheifs in the series.

I don't know why they keep putting crappy drivers in that car. Bootie deserves someone with some talent to work with. Ward Burton is till out there.

[Beeman99]

Ward screwed himself by sitting out that year, it's going to tough for him to get back in with the rush of young drivers, although if Stremme or Sorenson don't work out I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a call. I don't know how someone like Bootie can work on Nascar Performance with that shitdick Knaus.

BTW, Junior looked awesome today, that car would go like mad even with it pushing, I hope he gets over his brain cramp at both Fontana and Vegas.

I don't see Sorenson getting kicked out of his ride yet, but i would be shocked if Yeley lasts the year. That's a ride that Ward would be great for, although I would like Rudd to come back and that is the ride I would love to see him in. Just a pipe dream though.

Rudd's done, he still has the skill but after last year I don't think his heart is in it anymore. Forgot about Yeley, I'm with you, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the boot, and Ward would look good there.

I wonder what Mark Martin was so pissed about after the race? I know he hates plate racing but when they were interviewing Kenseth Mark came over and was trying to talk to Matt about Smoke I'm sure, but when NBC asked Mark for comment he said he had none and walked away.

[Sutsu]

Mark probably didn't want to go on record as saying anything against Smoke, but behind closed doors just say to Kenseth that smoke's an ass for what he did, shake it off, 25 races to go before the chase and plenty of time to get 'em back.
Don't forget, Mark was also planning on being retired this year, and while it's nice he had another chance to win the 500, he didn't and he still has another 35 races to put up with (driver and corporate) craziness of NASCAR.

Where are the owners and drivers points??? Labonte and Hall of Fame racing both lost points for the carb violation, so why didn't the Lowes team and Ricky boy lose points as well. Must be nice to be able to suck Nascars cock for special treatment.

[Sutsu]

I think the basis behind the no points loss is the fact that Terry's car used an illegal part, while JJ's car used legal parts that made for an illegal condition and it didn't line up with the templates at the end. Not that I want to defend the guy, but it is different.

Besides, Joe Gibbs should get some heat from this too since they gave Labonte that engine.

With the technology that's available these days, 4 races isn't as big an issue as it used to be. Last year on ESPN, they showed Ricky Rudd's crew chief run a race from his house after he had back surgery. He used the TV broadcast, the nascar.com trackpass and the nextel walkie-talkie to pretty much tell his crew what to adjust on the car and fix the car after getting caught in an accident. What's to stop Knaus or any other suspended crew chief from doing that? And 25K for a penalty after winning 1.5 million for the 500 is a mere bag o'shells.

I don't buy that. Junior gets 25 points for swearing or purposly spinning out, Harvick got nailed for points last year when Barrier fucked up, JJ should've been nailed as well. If they want to send a message to the teams this isn't how to do it. Suspending the crew chief doesn't mean shit, Harvick and JJ won without theirs. Fine the team and driver points as well as the money and suspension. Nacar is creating a mess for themselves by doing this.

Yep! I think Labonte's penalty is more severe. Like was said above, Knaus can still be in contact with his team during the race. Labonte and HOF racing are just starting out so those owner points are very valuable to them. To be penalized for a mistake from the "manufacturer" (Gibbbs) seems pretty harsh.

[Sutsu]

HOF Racing doesn't have to worry about owner points until a few races in since Labonte is a former champ and is guaranteed to get into the race as long as he's the driver and can rack up owner points for the team. Granted, the penalty doesn't help them out and JGR should shoulder some of the penalty, but it's not the end of the world.

Also, I'm not 110% sure how owner points works (and even without knowing I'll lay odds on it being a stupid ass concept 'cause so far as I know, even a slow as shit Roush car could get in before a speedy Robby Gordon car just because Roush owns 5 cars) but even if you did jack owner points from Hendrick, since he has 4 cars in most all the races he's not gonna notice them. Only a small team would, the driver points would be a better punishment if you really wanted to hit JJ.

And you know Knauss will be in contact with the Lowes team. I'm amazed there were no owners or drivers points taken away. I would've taken at least 35 points from JJ to make an example of him showing Nascar won't put up with this shit from anyone.

In other news, Kurt Busch has to be loving this, he's no longer the most hated man in Nascar./

[medium_rare]

Sutsu, owner points go by the car number, not by the collective teams that one guy like Roush or Hendrick owns. That's why there is a top 35 rule for qualifying even though those cars are really owned by 10-11 organizations.

Last year for instance, the 20 car(Stewart) owned by Gibbs ended the year 1st in owner points while the 11 car(Leffler/T Labonte/Yeley/Hamlin/Etc) also owned by Gibbs was 31st/32nd in owner points.

So hypothetically if a Roush driver besides Kenseth(past champ) shits the bed in the 1st 5 races and is below the top 35, he'll have to qualify on time like the other low budget and part time teams.

[Sutsu]

Ok, that does make a little more sense now... still don't like the system... I still think it should just flat out be the fastest cars on qualifying w/a former champ thrown in...

[Ballbuster1]

I agree. The system rewards the teams that spend big money. It makes
it harder for the smaller teams to make the show. Strange, since Nascar
is always talking about ways to contain costs for teams.

[Deadhead]

I found this over on Jayski, It did help me understand a little better

Points penalty
Last March at Las Vegas, #29 crew chief Todd Berrier welded the fuel filler so it looked like it was full of fuel when it wasn't.
Two weeks ago at Daytona, the Hall of Fame Racing's #96 car qualified with an unapproved carburetor.
According to NASCAR, those two infractions warranted not only a fine but a reduction of 25 driver and owner points because the fuel filler and the carburetor were absolutely unapproved parts. NASCAR was able to walk over to the car and confiscate those pieces, and their use was premeditated. The pieces were specifically made to skirt NASCAR's rules.
No points penalty
Last fall during qualifying at Talladega, Berrier and the #29 team had some trap doors in the trunk that weren't properly sealed off. The shocks were open when they were supposed to be closed. And some hose clamp that holds the fuel-filler pipe in place came loose. The next thing you know, Kevin Harvick's car had air underneath the car, going up through the trunk and escaping out a hole in the back of the tail light. In that instance, no unapproved parts or pieces were used.
During Daytona 500 qualifying this year, crew chief Chad Knaus and the #48 team put a sleeve over the trackbar adjuster. Like the #29 car at Talladega last fall, all of those parts and pieces were still part of the car that they raced in the Daytona 500.
so....Points penalty: In simple terms, here's the pattern. If you maliciously put something on a car that's made or machined, and it's an unapproved piece that can be confiscated, the team will be fined, the crew chief will be suspended and the driver and owner will lose 25 points.
No points penalty: If you take something that's already on the car and use it to beat the spirit of the rule, then it warrants a suspension and a fine, but it does not warrant the loss of 25 driver and owner points

[Beeman99]

Well, I'm pretty sure the NCTS regulars are happy tonight was Martin's last race for a while. They must really be looking forward to next year when he's racing there full time. He is absolutley dominante down there.

Shitdick Busch won the pole, I listened to his comments on it on 144 and you can tell he's trying to hard to be nice and courteous to everyone, Penske must have really had a long talk with him before he even sat in the 2. He's still a dink though.

This weekend and Vegas will show us what kind of year Junior and DEI are going to have. These tracks have always been weak for Junior and if he has good showing at both I think it'll be a great year for the 8 and a good year for the 1, if not, we're fucked.
