Woohoo. Getting closer. Can't wait for the season to start. Go #8, #1, #15, #20 and #29

[Beeman99]

Damn, I was going to try and start this thread this year. I was hoping to be able to get to vegas for testing at the end of the month but I won't be there until the week after. Speedweeks can't get here soon enough, should be a great year for the 8 and 20, just wish it was starting already. Also, tickets for the fall race at Lowes go on sale Feb 1, have it marked on my calender.

[Ballbuster1]

Sorry, Beeman. With Spot gone, I've always started the new Nascar threads.
After the Birds lost, it was officially Nascar season for me.

Before the Nascar season gets in full swing, some of the drivers will again
compete in Rolex's 24 Hours of Daytona.

Amoung them will be Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Stewart
and Bobby Labonte. Gordon's team running a Pontiac Reily for the
Sun Trust racing team was the quickest car in test sessions earlier.

Speed TV's coverage will begin on Saturday, Jan 27th
2:30pm east until 6:00pm
It will rejoin at 8:00pm east until 10:00pm.

On Sunday, Jan 28th coverage will start at 6:00am east and
continue thru the checkers and post race interviews.

I'll be checking it out thru the weekend.

As my 1 year (official day we met) Anniversary to my wife-which falls on 2.18 the Daytona 500- I will try harder to get into this whole NASCAR thing. So tell me experts who should I root for? Oh and it can't be Jr. thats her guy.

Root for Hendrick. JJ is the champ, Gordon is the best there ever has been (well, except King Richard).

The Texaco 42 car could be fun to watch this year.

[Bunny™]

Johnson and Gordon are great racers. Gordon is gonna be a legend.
But they both have the personality of a coat rack.
Unless they're crying about being wrecked.
And when they wreck someone else? MORE CRYING!

There is always room on the Dale Jr. team. You can root for him together. If she says you can't then if you want to keep it DEI you could go for Truex Jr or Menard. You could also go for Smoke. Happy Harvick would be good too. Of course Anybody but Gordon.

[Ballbuster1]

Oh, and as a side note, my wife
and I were married on Feb 18th, 29 years ago. The day before Bobby
Allison won his 1st Daytona 500 and on our first
year anniversary, Richard Petty won his 6th.

[Bud8Weiser]

Anyone wanna pick who they think will win the 500? I'm gonna Say Jr. of course. :icon_mrgr

[Cunt Smasher]

I like Carl,but Jr.'s a stud.
No Homo.

[Beeman99]

Anyone wanna pick who they think will win the 500? I'm gonna Say Jr. of course. :icon_mrgr

I always pick Jr, but this year I think he does have a real chance at it. I have a feeling though that this could be the year for a Roush car to win it.

[Bunny™]

Mark Martin + Chevy with Hendrick Motor + Daytona = Victory Lane

That's my wife's cousin!!!!!!!!



He HAS been cleared for Daytona.

I look for (Mr.) EDwards to make a come back this year.

[Deadhead]

Oh and Great to be back at my "Home away from Home"

[Bud8Weiser]

I always pick Jr, but this year I think he does have a real chance at it.
Thats kinda how I'm feeling as well.

[Bud8Weiser]

Mark Martin + Chevy with Hendrick Motor + Daytona = Victory Lane
It would be nice to see Mark Martin finally get a Daytona 500 win.

[Mother Shucker]

Jr.? You guys are high.

Hendrick MS will win.

I am sure that Jr. has fucked Theresa by the way. They are always having lover's quarrels.

Hendrick is going to suck a big fat one at the 500 this year, JJ will have the championship hangover, wreck early. Gordon will whine about how he was bumped too hard and finish mid pack, Busch will wreck, Mears will run well but not well enough to win. Jr has two teammates this year, will run good this year once again, with a good shot to win. But like I said earlier, I have a feeling that a Roush car could do it this year, just a feeling.

Jr. has and never will win anything. The best thing about him turned right and broke it's neck.

[Sutsu]

Jr. has and never will win anything. The best thing about him turned right and broke it's neck.

WOW that's harsh! But still, not totally undeserved. He had a horrid '05, and a decent '06, but between the alleged problems between him and Teresa, a lack of quality teammates (I'll admit Mikey was no champion, but he at least knew how to run a race with Jr and could really pull through on the restrictor plate races) and his own needs to continue to develop as a driver, I don't see this being a great year for him either.

I have a feeling that if Toyota did their homework in the off season, they could be a force to reckon with at Daytona. You have Waltrip and Jarrett who both know how to run the 500, as well as run with a teammate, you have Vickers who will obviously do whatever it takes to win, I think it could be very interesting.

[Beeman99]

Jr. has and never will win anything. The best thing about him turned right and broke it's neck.


You didn't go there. Jr was won 19 races I believe, he's won the 500, 5 in a row at Talledega, the all star race, been close multiple times in the championship, and you can guarantee if Sr was here DEI wouldn't have had the clusterfuck going on that it's had for the last number of year, and Jr would have his championship by now. To say he's never done anything is just a bullshit statement. That's like saying Mark Martin never won anything.

Of course he did. He's an overbearing Hendrick fan. People who have no facts just spew whatever they can think of. If he had a mic in front of him I would believe him.

I guess when you cheer for a bunch of personality lacking faggots then it'd make anyone get silly like that:rolleyes:

I loved the comment by JJ at Daytona last week about falling off the roof of the golfcart. "I won the championship, so what I do in private time is mine, and I made a mistake, but that's my decision". Anyone else think he'll be a prima donna this year just like his owner Jordon.

Maybe the dope shouldn't have been fucking around on the roof of a golf cart in the first place.

According to his Mom, maybe Jr. should become a driver, not a personality.

Just because they don't talk like the rest of the hillbilly's of NASCAR does not mean they lack personality. So Jr. won a whole 19 races in his career? Put him in the Hall of Fame. By the way, how many wins on non-restricter plates races has the one trick pony won? A true all time great like Jeff Gordon wins on all tracks. Super Speedways, short track, road course, what ever you throw at him. He is the second best ever behind the King. Oh, but you guys are right, he is gay. HAHAHAHA, all I do is see him with the hottest pieces of ass, but that is all you guys can come up with.

Yep. Cuz I said he was gay. I could give a shit what his sexual prefernce is. But he's not next in line behind the King. Junior has also one on short tracks, intermediate tracks. He hasn't yet on road courses. I"ll give you that. A lot of them don't talk like rednecks anymore. It doesn't make them any less of a driver. Jr's step mom needs to shut her cunt mouth since she has no idea about shit. She's just a figure head who sits there and collects a check. Say what you want about her. I don't care. You can say what you want about any of them. I take it for what its worth. All I said was that I don't like him. Right away you have to go attacking Sr. Ooooh. He hit a wall and died. You're hardcore. Everyone likes who they like and thats fine. Nascar fans are passionate. Its all in good fun and right away you have to start saying how great it is that Sr is dead no even acknowlegde his talent. Sorry the eras' are different and there is no way to really guage who was better. I"m not gonna have a pissing match with you all season. Its not worth it.

first off, it wasn't his mom that spoke, it was cunt stepmother that has fuck all to do with the day to day operations of DEI. Richie Gilmore, Steve Hmeil and Tony Eury Sr are the ones that run that fucking place, all the cunt does is make sure her hair is right.

JR has won 7 races on restrictor plate races, and he was won 12 on intermediate and short courses. He has also only been full time in cup since 2000, not fucking 1994 when the competition was a hell of a lot fucking weaker. If you had the King, Sr, and Gordon all start their careers at the same time Jr did, he'd be no fucking better than Jr is right now. And how can you call Gordon the second best of all time, he's got 4 championships, three short of Sr and Petty, far as I can tell that's not second best.

And like fuck he's with the hottest piece of ass in the garage, fucking ol Buffy is way fucking hotter, as is Chrissie Newman among others.

Gordon has talent, as does JJ, but all they fucking do is whine, bitch, and complain when something doesn't go the way they like. If Gordon gets bump drafted to the lead, he bitches that he got hit to hard. Ever wonder why Gordon, Johnson and Busch get booed at every track??? It's because they are talented but they are pussies. Fuck, I'm just rambling now, but the fucking season hasn't started even yet, lets all take a calmo and wait and see what happens this season.

[Mother Shucker]

I agree, calmo. But will you all shut the fuck up about Gordo and JJ? All the "he sucks dick" or "he is gay" shit is fucking lame. They are great racers for one of the greatest racing organizations ever in the sport. You know, when I started going to the track, everyone HATED Earnhardt Sr.. You know why? He was the best out there. They only starting not booing him a few years later when he could not get out of his own way. Gordon was a fan FAVORITE until....................can you guess?...................He started dominatin the circuit. That is when everyone started booing him. So boo him at the track all you want, but do not compare him to lesser talent like Jr. or call him a fag. You know you can't and he aint. Have a great safe season drivers.

You know, if you look at Gordon's stats and Jr's stats since 2000, the year Jr came in, they are very comparable. I've never said Gordon doesn't have talent, I just get sick and tired of his whining all the time.

Benny Parsons has just passed away. RIP

Benny Parsons, 65, passed away today [Jan 16] at the Intensive Care Unit of the Carolinas Medial Center in Charlotte, NC. Parsons, who became a popular television and radio personality after retiring from driving in 1988, entered the hospital Dec. 26 as the result of complications stemming from his battle with lung cancer. The cancer was diagnosed earlier this year and was recently reported to be in full remission. More info on services as it becomes available.

RIP, Benny. While I didn't think he was the best commentator that
Nascar broadcasts have had, he was a great driver and was very
passionate about the sport. Also the first to qualify at over 200 MPH
at Talladega back in '82. Back when men were men... God Speed, Benny.

[Ballbuster1]

I get the Nascar Scene mag delivered and they had an article about the
possible changes to the Chase format. They are looking at expanding it
to 12 drivers and adding 10 points to every race for a win.

Under the new standard in 2004 JJ would have won the Cup and in that
and subsequent years, the final order would have been shaken up.
The champs however wouldn't have changed over the last 2 years.

Nascar is expected to make an announcement on the new regulations
on January 22nd and driver reaction seems mixed. I don't think the added
number of drivers will really matter as much as the bonus of 10 points
for a win will.

Thats a shame. As a race fan I was never a fan of Bobby Sr or Jr but I hate to see it come to an end like this. It really does suck. Hopefully they can find some way to keep it going. Its a nice way to remember Bobby Sr.

[Beeman99]

from Jayski, changes to the chase and points for a win

NASCAR Announces Adjustments to ‘Chase’ Format and Points System: Race victories will become more important than ever in 2007 as a result of adjustments to the points system and the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup format announced today by NASCAR. The adjustments are designed to establish more balance between winning and consistency, but there is a new emphasis on the former. “The adjustments taken today put a greater emphasis on winning races,” said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. “Winning is what this sport is all about. Nobody likes to see drivers content to finish in the top 10. We want our sport – especially during the Chase – to be more about winning.”

Chase Adjustments: The Chase – consisting of the season’s last 10 races – will further reflect the importance of racing to win, via a variety of adjustments.

> During the format’s first three years, the top 10 drivers in points after the 26th race of the season (at Richmond International Raceway) qualified for the Chase; in addition, any other driver outside the top 10 but within 400 points of the standings’ leader was also eligible.
Starting this season, the 400-point cut-off is eliminated.

Also, after Race 26, the top 12 drivers in the points will qualify for the Chase.
> All 12 drivers will have their point totals re-set to 5,000; each will then receive a 10-point bonus for each race victory they had during the first 26 races.

> The Chase drivers will be “seeded” to start the Chase based on the number of wins amassed during the regular season.
Points adjustment: In line with the Chase adjustments, wins throughout the season will be more valuable.

> Race winners throughout the 36-race season will now receive 185 points, a five-point increase. Counting the five-point bonuses available for leading at least one lap and leading the most laps, a race winner now can earn a maximum of 195 points, creating a possible maximum of 25 points between first- and second-place finishers.

The 2006 season of Kasey Kahne provides a dramatic illustration of the adjusted Chase format’s implications. Kahne qualified for last year’s Chase, but started it in 10th place – despite having won a series-high five races. Under the new format, Kahne would begin the Chase in first place, with 5,050 points. Mark Martin and Jeff Burton, seventh and eighth at the outset of last year’s Chase, would instead start in 11th and 12th, each with 5,000, since they had no race victories entering the Chase. Also, Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle, who failed to make the Chase last year – they were 11th and 12th and beyond the 400-point cut-off – would qualify under the adjusted format. Stewart would be fifth with 5,020 points, Biffle 10th with 5,010.(NASCAR PR)(1-22-2007)

Good changes I says. This will make things at least a little more interesting. I would like to see something where the highest finishing Chaser gets a points bonus too, though, just to drive the need to run well home even more.

Truex Jr. gets in trouble in Daytona: #1-Martin Truex Jr. thought he was making a pit stop out of view, in a corner of the county's parking garage, but like a scene right out of "Seinfeld," the wrong person was watching. The bathroom break in the garage connected to the Ocean Walk Shoppes earned Truex a $208 ticket from a Volusia County Beach Patrol officer. "I got a ticket for doing something stupid," Truex said by phone Monday afternoon. It was just after midnight Friday (Jan 12th) and Truex -- in town to test for the Jackson-Hewitt Preseason Thunder Busch Series -- was walking back to his car on the third floor of the parking garage on Earl Street with a group of friends, a police report shows. When the group approached a silver Chevy Suburban, Capt. Rich Gardner noticed that Truex began urinating on the right front tire of the SUV. At that point Gardner, sitting in an unmarked patrol car, called out: "I hope that's worth 100 bucks," a Beach Patrol report states. According to Gardner; Truex then responded, "It is worth 100 bucks," and he held out a $100 bill. Not amused, Gardner told the 26-year-old race car driver that the matter was not a joke, then asked for Truex's identification. The officer also said he doesn't take bribes. "It sounds like you're trying to bribe me," Truex answered, according to the report. "You said, 'Is that worth 100 bucks?' and I said yeah. Did you say that?" After a few more words exchanged, Gardner attempted to handcuff Truex, only to meet with resistance, the report states. After telling him to place his hands behind his back seven times, and ordering him to stop resisting, Truex, cooperated with Gardner, but then offered the captain the $100 bill again, the report states. But in the end, Truex was not charged with urinating in public. Because of all the talking that was done, Gardner smelled a hint of alcohol on Truex's breath and charged him with disorderly intoxication. Truex, who is employed by Dale Earnhardt Inc., denied resisting Gardner, but he did recall urinating on the tire of his vehicle. "I had to take a leak in the corner of a parking garage where no one could see," he said. "It was a stupid mistake and I'll never do it again.

funny part is I did the same thing when I was in Daytona, just I never got caught.

of the story...

MORE: Statement from Martin Truex, Jr. "The incident that recently occurred in Daytona Beach, Fla. was in poor judgment and shouldn't have happened. I want to apologize to Bass Pro Shops, the NASCAR community and my fellow employees of Dale Earnhardt, Inc. After testing on Thursday afternoon, some team members and I went to a local restaurant that evening. We had a few drinks, I was not intoxicated and we had a designated driver. Afterwards, while I was standing by our SUV, a man walked up to me in the parking deck. He didn't immediately identify himself as a police officer. I was taken a little off guard, but once I realized he was an officer, I fully cooperated. There was no resistance on my part in any way. I don't feel I was being disorderly, but that doesn't make what happened right, and again, I want to apologize for my behavior."(DEI PR)(1-23-2007)

That cocksucker has jacked up the "general camping" prices AGAIN from $40 to $100 and $75(they split the 40 acres)

I've been camping for over 12 years now, and when we started it was $20 a weekend.

Yeah, I already have paid the $100 for the 20ft x 50ft patch of land.

It's sad to have happened, but we knew it was going to happen. Smith wasn't making any money on it right now, so if he sells it he gets at least something back from it. Yes he is a cunt,and it's going to get to the point where only the only tracks we visit are owned by the two major track corporations.

Yeah, it's great because he comes back to run the short tracks a couple times a year. I saw him at Slinger (1/4 mile) & Madison (1/2 mile), both of which he raced at back in the day. He had Tony Stewart with him at Madison & this year Stewart will be there again as well as Denny Hamlin. And he's good about signing autographs during the year at his fan club headquarters in Cambridge. Really accessible as far as Cup drivers go.

we all know RCR would be in 7th heaven, although as much as Harvick says he would love to have Jr as a teammate, his nose would wind up out of joint if Jr joined RCR as he would become #1 there.

The hole is really under the gun now as Jr has told her exactly what he wants, the fans and media knows what he wants, and if she doesn't give it to him, she'll be the one responsible for Jr leaving DEI and for the death of DEI

Good for you, Jr, good for you.
Problem is that he's NEVER going to get it. She's not just going to up and cede majority ownership to him. Not (necessarily) because she's a horrible person or anything, but simply because nobody ever just up and gives up the company they own like that. And let's face it, right now she's the boss and her step kid is just another employee.

I say the #3 Budweiser Chevy takes off in '08.

[Beeman99]

I hope it does work out though, I have a feeling that Jr, Truex, and Menard have a very rewarding future together, and they could be the ones to bring DEI back to where it belongs. But if Jr goes, so does any chance DEI has at a championship, not just because Jr is gone, but because a lot of the company is either family or close friends of the Earnhardt family due to Sr, and they wouldn't be far behind Jr in leaving.

I hate daytona. ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND continue until eyelids stick.


Worst part is its the first race of the year so im forced to watch it by default as a nascar fan.


Congrats to smoke for riding around in circles the best

[hangoverbuffet]

the first 20 laps was exciting but to make plate racing fun again.. they gotta go back to the 2000-2001 package with the fin on top and the lip on the spoilers

[Beeman99]

it was a little boring, the Toyota's sucked balls, but part of it could've been they were trying to see what would work out of the draft, Awesome Bill was doing the same thing. Nice to Gordon and Newman take 'er behind the wall early. Smoke ran well, loved seeing him bump Busch to take the lead, but he was mellow after praising Busch for saving it. Gilliland ran well, but let's see how he does with points on the line, and Jr fucked the dog at the end there, he was waaay to early trying to bump draft on the tri oval.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

The best part of the shoot out, not seeing one doggy sticker.

I thought it was rather uneventful as well and way too many commercials.
Nice to see Nascar and Fox didn't change that. When they went to

turned the VCR on. Just saw the ending this morning.

Always too many commercials. That will never change. Until fans stop watching because of it they will never go away. Even then I don't know.

I have three words for you all


TONY FUCKING STEWART
Let me retort with three words: Make the chase.

[Bud8Weiser]

I keep seeing that commercial and it really makes me wish I had Direct TV. I'm wondering if comcast.net is gonna run that deal they did with Nascar.com like they did last year. Comcast.net subscribers got free trackpass

[Bud8Weiser]

Ok. It was more then 3 words but you get the point. :action-sm

I'm watching Nascar Live! on speed and they have a cartoon on trying
to explain the qualifying for the 500. It's fucking corney, confusing and
hilarious all at the same time.

I was watching that too. It reminded me of that old school house rock stuff.

[Deadhead]

Who gets the pole today??

I'll go Rudd.

Darkhorse: Sadler

That 6 car didnt look too shabby yesterday. (grin)

[Bud8Weiser]

Just for shits and giggles I'm gonna say Gilliland. Those Yates cars look good and he hasn't been doing all that bad so far. I think Rudd has a good shot too.

I will go out on a limb and say it won't be a Toyota.

Speaking of corny, confusing, and hilarious. Did you catch the "GPS" 3D view when they where trying to figure who caused the wreck at the end?

[Ballbuster1]

Yeah. WTF were they trying to do with that graphic? It really sucked.
Just show the replay angles and slow it down a bit.

[Bud8Weiser]

Speaking of corny, confusing, and hilarious. Did you catch the "GPS" 3D view when they where trying to figure who caused the wreck at the end?
That thing is absolutely lame. It doesn't show anything. I would just rather see the replay and figure it out from there. Video games look better then that stupid 3d crap they have.

[Ballbuster1]

Looks like we got us a Yates front row.
Gilliland gets the pole with Rudd on the outside.

nice to see both Yates cars on the front row, with Said, Sauter and Marlin locked in. Duels are going to be interesting,

I wasn't that far off either!

Not at all. He had a very nice qualifying effort.

[Deadhead]

He also looked purty good in that wreck filled mess of an ARCA race on Sat.:icon_conf

HOLY SHIT!!! I GOT THE SMILEYS BACK!!! WTF!?!?!


Anywho, it seemed like there were more caution laps run in that thing than green laps.

David finished 4th, btw.

Hope he can keep it up.

[Gladys kravitz]

With Gilliland getting the pole, maybe Elliot Sadler is as good as his brother Hermie! Toyotas only chance(with the worthless drivers they have) is Juan Montoya on the road courses. Go 20 and 43.

[Gladys kravitz]

Thanks for clearing that up. Spring training I guess. I was still having a hard time watching the qualifying when the 6 car(AAA) and still thinking it was Martin(and another issue with Martin driving the 01 Army car and not being Nemechek). I'm still in football mode.

[Beeman99]

I'm glad Said got in. He seems like a good guy.


I like Said for the fact that he is a good guy, is grateful for any chance he gets to race in cup, and always tries to race clean and respectfully. I was rooting for him to pull it out last year at Daytona over Smoke.

Thats the one thats gonna screw me up the most this year. When I see the 6 in automatically think Mark Martin. Having him in the 01 is gonna be wierd.

[Sutsu]

Apparently Mikey may not make the 500, if not because of time then because of alleged shenanigans with his intake manifolds. With all the different rules to qualifying I can't even tell if any Toyota's beyond DJ have a chance to get into the 500, so he's looking like he'll be on his own. With what Smoke and Jr said during the shootout, just looking for a Chevy to work with, I'm betting that they and probably everyone else will be looking to hang him out to dry.

NASCAR really just needs a page that says "These guys are in" and "These guys still have to race in or they go home" I don't even know what guys made it in from the qualifying.

The only two guys that are locked in to their starting spots are David Gilliland and Ricky Rudd on the front row. All the other drivers in the top 35 from last year are also in but just odn't know their starting spot yet. Dale Jarrett is also in whether it be he races his way in or uses the past champions provisional. After that its so confusing its a crap shoot.

Blaney is in a Toyota and he's in the 500. I can see Mayfield making it as well.

Uh Oh!:
Kenseth, Kahne times disallowed UPDATE penalties to be announced Tues/Wed: #9-Kasey Kahne and #17-Matt Kenseth qualifying times/speeds been disallowed, both will start at the end of the 2nd Gatorade Duel race. The #17 and #9 cars were found to have illegal aerodynamic devices/enhancements. NASCAR's Jim Hunter said both infraction is considered as serious as the one that caused #48-Johnson's crew chief to be suspended after Daytona 500 qualifying last year. While the crew chiefs have not been suspended, NASCAR has not rules out anything, penalties are forthcoming. Both Kahne and Kahne will be allowed to start their respective Duel 150's from the rear.(PRN's Garage Pass Radio Show), #17-Kenseth had qualified 11th, #9-Kahne 28th. See the revised qualifying results on my Daytona Qualifying/Grid Page.(2-11-2007)
UPDATE: The qualifying times for both drivers were disallowed because inspections found unapproved changes to the body of both cars. Kenseth was 11th and Kahne was 28th in the qualifying speeds. Hunter said penalties will follow for both teams, probably in an announcement on Monday. "We found unapproved devices that enhanced the aerodynamics of those cars," Hunter said. "There were holes where it was supposed to be sealed. One of the cars had holes in the wheel well." Both cars will be allowed to start at the back of the second Gatorade Duel qualifying race on Thursday. Both teams are guaranteed a spot in the Daytona 500 because they were among the top 35 teams in points last year.(ESPN.com)
UPDATE 2: NASCAR is meeting today over the #17 and #9 times being disallowed, penalties will not be announced today [Monday], probably Tuesday or as late as Wednesday this week.(2-12-2007)
UPDATE 3: on ESPN's NASCAR Now, Marty Smith said that NASCAR told him penalties would not be announced until late Tuesday afternoon at the earliest or as late as Wednesday.(2-12-2007)


Looks like Sweetie Pie(Waltrip) wasnt the only one fiddling with the car!

[hangoverbuffet]

Dale Jarrett is in the 500 he is a past champion. So two Toyotas are going to be in the show and i see mayfield and maybe one of the red bull cars.... but its not going to matter.... they all will have to contend with

Looks like Matt may have to start toward the back again this year. Didn't hurt him much last year, it was Stewart that managed that. This is apparently the same car he ran at Daytona last year so I expect he'll still place pretty well.

[Beeman99]

Completely forgot about Blaney. Mayfield I don't know about, I've never seen him as too competent a racer.


or teammate for that matter, but he has been putting up decent times in testing so far.

[tripwire519]

testing and racing are two very different fuzzy flounder's though.


I always kinda liked Blaney though... maybe it was my love for Jack... :)

[Beeman99]

no doubt that testing is totally different, but when you are trying to qualify for Daytona or 'Dega, the testing results are somewhat important, even with the harder tires. Once he's in the race though, it's a different story.

[Standby]

I always kinda liked Blaney though... maybe it was my love for Jack... :)

Yes but how do you feel about construction equipment? :)

just read about it, holy shit, they aren't screwing around. Curious to know what Mikey's going to get. Funny how this all after the uproar over the shit with JJ last year

[Sutsu]

I wonder if it even matters what Mikey gets? I mean, barring a goddamn miracle, he's not going to make it into the 500 unless he wins his duel. He did it last year, but I dunno about this year.

[Beeman99]

With him being as good in the draft as he is, I could see him making it. I'm just curious as to what penalty he gets.

[fkornre]

def not happy at all about losing 50 points and reiser for 4 weeks...i wonder if they will appeal so that reiser is in the pits for the 500??? 250 consecutive races together...it will be hard to be apart for 4 weeks...

[Deadhead]

Evernham will NOT appeal and Roush said he was giong to figure out IF is was going to.

Any official word on Sweetie Pie yet?

[Bunny™]

hahaha fucking JET FUEL in Mikeys engine. WOW.
He might even get suspended. Per Jayski's, he's running a backup #00 Reutimann car in practice.
bahahahaha......

jet fuel.

[Deadhead]

They were saying it was Sterno!!!

Who tha fuck comes up with that shit???

[BCH]

They were saying it was Sterno!!!

Who tha fuck comes up with that shit???

That sounds more like it. THe alcohol would leech out over time providing some extra kick. Jet fuel is like Kerosine and probably wouldn't help much.

[Deadhead]

Granted, it would ony be for a couple of laps.
I guess thats why crew cheifs and the lot get paid the big bucks.

And I send light fixtures out thru UPS....

[Sutsu]

Goddamn, Mikey, are you REALLY that desperate? How much is Toyota paying you and what kind of development are you doing if you need friggin' sterno in your intake? Jeez...

[Ballbuster1]

That's really fucking stupid. With all of his experience in drafting, I'm
sure he could have raced his way in.

This really puts a black eye on the launch of Toyota.

[hangoverbuffet]

it won't sterno but what ever it was... nascar is pissed off. and my dad has yelled at the tv all day... just yelling crazy talk like Jack Roush did this and its a conspiracy

he drives me fucking nuts like Earl does to Ronnie

[Ballbuster1]

Doesn't matter what it was. Cheating at Daytona was just stupid.
He's decent on plate tracks and it's Toyota's debut in the
series. This was just fucking dumb. Not a good move at all.

[Beeman99]

has anyone ever received a penalty like this before?

[Bunny™]

http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/story?seriesId=2&id=2765503

Shit rolls downhill.

[Ballbuster1]

My guess is that what really pissed them off was that Nascar found
the stuff in the 1st intake and they had the balls to do it again.

Gettin caught once is bad enough, but to do it twice is now stupidity.
Toyota looks bad and Nascar needs to stop it right away.

It's a big penalty, but I can't say that they don't deserve it.
This will make people alot more honest the rest of the season.

[Bunny™]

The official starting lineup isn't posted on www.nascar.com or www.jayski.com, but there are a few big names missing the show on Sunday.

#36-Jeremy Mayfield
#78-Kenny Wallace
#30-Stanton Barrett
#37-Bill Elliott
#72-Brandon Whitt
#58-James Hylton
#4-Ward Burton
#84-AJ Allmendinger
#15-Paul Menard
#34-Kevin Lepage
#74-Derrike Cope
#39-Regan Smith
#71-Frank Kimmel
#04-Eric McClure
#27-Kirk Shelmerdine
#83-Brian Vickers
#23-Mike Skinner


I highlighted the bigger names that are planning on running the entire schedule. Bill Elliott isnt running the whole year, but he's Awesome Bill From Dawsonville......he's also headed back there tonight.
(I should write for ESPN)


Joe Nemechek, Mike Wallace, and the disgraced Michael Waltrip all raced their way in during the twin qualifying races.

Boris Said, Johnny Sauter, David Reutimann and Sterling Marlin all qualified well enough earlier this week to guarantee a starting spot, and since 1999 champ Dale Jarrett needed the 1 Champion provisional available to make it in, Elliott, the 1988 champ DNQ's. (most recent champ gets the spot)

[hangoverbuffet]

Seems Speed is saying that there might be a problem with gordons car... i am hoping is a cock in the tailpipe but serious it might not be good for gordo

[Sutsu]

i am hoping is a cock in the tailpipe

He can just ask Mikey for some of that intake lube, maybe massage that out.
How about that wily Waltrip making it into the race. I thought he'd be out and done with right about now. His whole team made it in if I heard correct, right?

thats true..00 44 and 55 all in, I never would've guessed that.
must be all that JP-5

[hangoverbuffet]

Well they found Gordon too low.... a whole damn inch too low..... they would bust Dale Jr's Balls over 8th of an inch too low and take 25 points and 10,000 dollars.

All gordon gets is starting 42 instead of 3rd.

I'm not a big Gordon fan, but it looks like it was just a mistake as opposed
to actually trying to cheat. I thought it was a fair penalty.

possibly, but being a inch too low is a lot when they will nail you for a 16th of an inch. Happy to see he's starting at the rear of the field, but with the way Nascar has being laying down the law lately, he should get a fine at least.

[Gyp]

All gordon gets is starting 42 instead of 3rd.

Which is such a horrible penalty at a plate track. Now instead of starting up front, it might take until lap three to get there.

i was going for the cock jokes but thought better of it.... though you guys would think me hack haha oh well. But the biggest cock in his ass is the alimony payments he has to make..... She must have been the most expensive beard in the history of the world.

[Deadhead]

Well then, I guess yall will love my new sigpic:icon_mrgr

[Gyp]

I sure hope it's Kenseth's year. I have a feeling he won't have any drafting love when it comes down to the end though.
And I'd really like to see the 500 end like the Truck race ended tonight. I have a feeling though that it'll either end under caution or with a boring single file parade.

[hangoverbuffet]

thats why the COT will be great... its built on the truck style big and box like so i think next years daytona 500 could be one of the best ever. Just as good or as better as the 199 laps of the 2001 Daytona 500. We won't talk about the last lap

[Mother Shucker]

We get it, Gordon is gay. He fucks the hottest chicks in NASCAR, but he is gay.

At least he aint fucking his step Mom like Jr. :worm:

god i hate those fucking silver rims on the toyotas

[Earth2murf]

The Daytona 500 is just fucking hours away...God bless ya Dale

[Ballbuster1]

Harvick got things off to a good start with a win in the Busch series
opener held today. Blaney made Toyota look good coming back from
an early wreck to finish 2nd. Smoke and Jr had top 10 finishes.
Should be a good race tomorrow.

I keep wondering why Gilliland still has the rookie stripe on his bumper this year even though he's not a rookie?? I thought if a driver runs more than 7 races in a season he's no longer considered a rookie, and he ran 15 last year.

[Sutsu]

Don't worry, I fixed it for ya

Go into the wall on lap 2, 24.

When Jr wins the championship this year and takes over DEI, she'll be the one getting fucked, and deservedly so

[Beeman99]

I'll post it here as well

From Jayski

Eury Jr. would leave DEI if Dale Jr. bolts: If #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr. opts to leave Dale Earnhardt, Inc. at the conclusion of the 2007 Nextel Cup season, his crew chief will follow suit. Tony Eury Jr., Earnhardt's crew chief and first cousin, told ESPN.com on Sunday that if Junior goes, he'll go, too. "Yes, [I'd go]," Eury responded when asked if he'd follow Earnhardt to a new race team. "That's the way I based my feelings when I decided to stay there and sign a long-term contract. I made it very specific to them that if 2007 comes and Dale Jr. decided to do something else, I'd like to have my options open to do whatever I want to do." Ultimately, though, Eury hopes Dale Jr. stays put. "The best thing is to stay at DEI," Eury said. "DEI is his Dad's deal. [Junior] should be running the company. That's what Dale Sr. built the company for, was for those kids to have something later on in life. However it turns out, it turns out. I really don't want to get into the politics side of it with them, so I just let them handle it and we'll figure it out from there." Earnhardt said on Feb. 8 he must get majority ownership of DEI in order to remain with the company his father founded. Eury said he's uncertain where the contract negotiation stands. He's staying out of it. "I just told Junior for him and Kelley [Earnhardt Elledge] to figure out whatever they want to do -- stay or go," Eury said. "I hope he stays, but if they can't get things worked out, that's fine, we'll just figure out what's best for all of us."(ESPN.com)(2-18-2007)

DAYTONA 500 RESULTS
Happy Harvick edges out Mark Martin for the win.
Alot of the popular picks get taken out in wrecks
in a crash filled race. Unofficial results are here:

HA HA that guy beat that other guy with like 500 feet to go HA HA old men never win!

[Bud8Weiser]

Well even though Jr, Truex and Smoke had shitty days at least Happy won so it wasn't all bad. Congrats to Kevin. :clap: Now I can say I've met a Daytona 500 winner.

[Mother Shucker]

With all the problems Gordon had, and him getting the Malachie crunch on the last lap, I will take 12th. in the standings with mostly nobodies in front of him.

[Deadhead]

Congrats cousin David!!!!
5th in the big race-highest ford-highest rookie!

Keep it up,man!

[Ballbuster1]

Martin just did an interview on Speed. He said he never let up after the
accident. He just lost his drafting help and couldn't beat Harvick.
Nice run by Mark, but Happy just had the faster car in the end.

well tony lost again but Harvick won... i think dale was looking in

5th in the big race-highest ford-highest rookie!

Looked like yall had fun.
Maybe next week...
besides I'm still hungover from last nite!

[tripwire519]

sucks that Martin didn't win it ... but that was the best finish to a daytona race I have seen in a long time if ever.

usually its boring from start to finish. nothing like a car finishing upside down on fire while he skids through the checkered flag.


:clap: :clap: :clap: for daytona 500, 2007

Someone want to chime in about how plate races are always snooze fests? I watched the final 15 - 20 laps of this one standing up.

[bill333]

I was kind of hoping Mark Martin would win but good for Harvick as well. I knew Jr. was going to get in trouble when he fell back. Everyone fighting 4 wide with a couple to go was bound, as usual, to start a big mess. Great finish though.

Hoping for a better season this year

Jeff Gordon wins the pole for Sunday's race. Kasey Khane bumped
a quick Mark Martin out of the #2 slot.
DJ has to take another champion's provisional to make the race and
Mikey Waltrip gets bumped from this week's line-up by his own rookie.

[Sutsu]

I see 9 people that were slower than Mikey. Hell everyone except Kenny Wallace that actually finished a qualifying run was faster than Robby Gordon. I think it's ridiculous to keep this top 35 in owners points rule, let the fastest cars out there, damnit.

[Ballbuster1]

You know it's all about the money. With the exception of the new Toyota
cars, the top 35 are the people spending the most bucks on their teams.
They're just trying to keep the sponsers happy.

[Ballbuster1]

Anybody watching the Truck race? Martin just got punted by Hornaday with
5 laps to go. I love the truck series.

I like Mikey being in the booth. Hot pass is great compared to the old in car

Yeah it is. I have the BEV feed, so I guess they don't show commercials on there like they do on the Dtv feed.

[Beeman99]

I'm guessing they don't show the commercials up in Canada either, which I'm happy for

[BCH]

Yeah Jimmy needs a little strife to keep him humble.

[bill333]

Speaking of JJ, I like the Nextel commercial with him when he calls for the trophy. "I'm sorry, you were saying?" That one and the one with Jr. giving the guy in the office directions. Good stuff. :clap:

[Mother Shucker]

I sure hope one day it comes out that Gordon is a kid toucher

I think that Jr. comes from in-breeding will come out well before anything bad about Gordo.

[Deadhead]

get that piece of shit off my track!!!!
What the Hell were they thinkin???

Bu bye Jr.. Say "hi" to (step) mom for me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You sir are a comedic genius.

[fkornre]

fuck gordon...get away from matt...

gotta love seing junebug blow an engine...2 dnf's in 2 race :clap:

harvick is running good again...its gonna be a close finish...

[Exanimate]

gotta love Canada

Yeah, all my friends say that I am a closet Canadian. Had to go get Canadian satellite for my hockey fix.

[Ballbuster1]

I hate when they pull that late race caution for debris shit. All they are
trying to do is bunch up the field for a big finish and this is what you get.
Another late race wreck that results in a red flag and maybe even another
that could make it a green/white/checkers.

I was glad to see that they try to finish a race under green flag
conditions, but those cautions for debris so late just seem suspect.
Matt was starting to run away with it and now it's back to a dogfight.

[BCH]

All the marbles! Matt's gotta tough chore ahead of him to hold off Harvick. At least Harvick probably won't move Matt to make the pass seeing as how Matt won him the Daytona 500 last week.

[fkornre]

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEKEND SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

luv ya matt :) :clap: :clap:

[BCH]

W00t!

Haha I love when they break them spinning in the grass.

[Ballbuster1]

Two nice breaks for Matty. Harvick dropped a L/F tire and Burton had a
bad restart. Gave Matt the chance to get out to a nice lead that he
could hold onto. Congrats on the Busch/Cup sweep by him. :clap:

[BCH]

It was too bad about Harvick's tire, but lucky. Matt even said the 29 was better than him...

[fkornre]

yea...kevin and rcr are on fire...we caught a break...but honestly we were owed it as we had 3rd place last week going through the final turn until we got knocked out by kyle...

[Deadhead]

woo hoo!!!
Big points week for me....Finally!!

1st,6th,9th,13th

[bill333]

Booooooooooooooooooo! I was hoping for a good race to the line between Harvick/Kenseth. Well, that and Gordon into the wall. :icon_mrgr

[fkornre]

Well, that and Gordon into the wall. :icon_mrgr
we all hope for that :)

[Mother Shucker]

Really? How did Gordon do? How is he doing in the cup standings?

[fkornre]

gordon finished 2nd...i didnt see the points standing yet...

[BCH]

I would hazzard a guess that Mr. Shucker is well aware of Mr. Gordon's situation. Matt has a tough hill to climb with the 50 points and the wreck but racing the way he has so far I think it will prove to be do-able for him.

[fkornre]

as long as gordon loses each week and misses the chase things will be good :)


on another note does anyone else hate the new nascar.com??? it takes forever to update the site after races and its like foundrymusic when it comes to navigation...the older site was old but it served its purpose...

[Ballbuster1]

Yeah, the new Nascar.com sucks ass. It takes forever to find anything on it now.

[fkornre]

they dont even have the busch series standings up to date...they still show as of last weeks race...and to find a way to contact customer service is hard as shit on there...

[Bud8Weiser]

Yeah, the new Nascar.com sucks ass. It takes forever to find anything on it now.
QFT. That new setup sucks ass.

[Sutsu]

Every day we get closer and closer to an RCR #3 Bud Chevy or a JGR #03 Bud Chevy.

[Bud8Weiser]

Every day we get closer and closer to an RCR #3 Bud Chevy or a JGR #03 Bud Chevy.
You got that right. I for one am ecstatic.

[Mother Shucker]

Just saw the standings. At least Jr. is not in last. He is in front of: David Reutimann, Dave Blaney, Paul Menard, Scott Riggs, John Andretti, and Mikey Waltrip. Good job son, good job.

[Motor Head]

Clint Bowyer moves to 6th place in points. The Jack Daniels 07 is going to be a dark horse contender this year. I don't think he can win the cup, but he will make it to the top 10. I was a fan back when he ran Busch full time. And he is a great driver.

Besides, how fucking cool was it when he crossed the line in Daytona on fire and upside down. My dad said they will rember Harvick for the win, but Clint will be just as notable for that finish. Go 07, see you at Talladega in April. I have two tickets to the biggest baddest track of them all.

Wow, this is worse than I thought. Ironic that he has "flames" on his car though. :action-sm

Maybe, if he manages to win 3 more titles in the next 3-4 years, he can be as good as Dale. :rolleyes:


By the way, Jr. had 3 DNF's last season, and finished 5th for the season, so only two races in and a long season to go.
Way too early for me to worry.

http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7352/neumanml2.jpg

[Mother Shucker]

Actually, it is twelve years, not 3 or 4. And his next win will tie ol' Dale with 12 years to go to pass him.

[bill333]

Ok, I'll give you maybe 5 years but after that, really, how many can you expect when in their 40's, especially the way the competition is these days?
Wins, I could care less, you don't go into sports just for wins.

I'm done with all this fun. I really don't hate anyone in NASCAR.

Looks like the COT will probably run full time next year.

Darby: COT may be the 'Car of Today' in 2008
By Joe Menzer, NASCAR.COM
February 28, 2007
04:27 PM EST

type size: + -BRISTOL, Tenn. -- The Car of Tomorrow may become the Car of Today much sooner than anyone originally envisioned.

Nextel Cup Series director John Darby said Wednesday that he expects teams to run a full schedule with COT racecars by 2008.

The original plan NASCAR developed after consulting with team owners called for a three-year phase-in of the new car, beginning with 16 of the 36 races in 2007 featuring it. The current plan calls for 26 of the 36 races in '08 to be run with COT cars, with a full schedule to follow in '09.

Now, Darby is saying the full slate of COT races could be coming a full year sooner.

The first race to be run with COT cars is scheduled for March 25 at Bristol Motor Speedway, where 50 teams began testing their versions of the machines Wednesday. Most drivers, crew chiefs and owners seemed to react to the tests in a favorable manner, leading reporters to ask Darby if he was beginning to hear an overwhelming positive response to the project as well. Previously, many of the same drivers, crew chiefs and owners had been vocal in their criticism and resistance to the COT program.

"Halleluiah," Darby said. "As time goes on, I think you will hear the volume of those cries will get turned up louder and louder and louder. I don't think I have to tell this group [of media] that we would welcome that with arms wide open. I tell you, it's just a pain in the butt for the teams run two parallel programs with two different racecars. It's a pain for us to manipulate and work and apply two different rulebooks, and two different inspection procedures.

"A lot of what's happening is that it's settling in to the competitors that this is the future, that this is the car. So why are we going to wait for three years? And I really don't expect that we will."

Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 8 Chevrolet, said the Car of Tomorrow far exceeded his expectations during testing Wednesday.

"It actually drives better than our other cars do here," Earnhardt said. "The car is an inch wider; it has a little more grip. I am really pleasantly surprised."

That is what Darby heard from most of those he spoke to following Wednesday's first test session at Bristol. Darby said that he expects to conduct numerous "one-on-one" meetings with drivers and team owners in the coming weeks and even months, regarding the possibility stepping up the COT schedule.

"The three-year rollout schedule was actually developed out of what the owners felt comfortable with as far as a pace to replace their current inventory of racecars," Darby said. "What's come to light is that these cars are much easier to build. They can build them much faster than the current cars we're running. And with that fabrication process, they believe they can shorten those timelines -- especially if they don't have to have the other program working over here.

"Whether we would expand the COT schedule for the 2007 season is probably not likely. But could we be all-in for 2008? I think that's very probable."

"It has exceeded my expectations at this point, as far as how the car is driving," Earnhardt said. "I anticipated it to be a little more of a struggle to get the car to turn, to work, to get it up off the corner. Our lap times are comparable with the other chassis we have been running here the last couple of years. I think we are ahead of the game a little bit. As far as where I thought we would be, we are ahead of that."

Jeff Burton, driver of the No. 31 Chevrolet, added: "I think all in all, from a driver's perspective, once you get in the car, it's just a car. It's matter of getting the car to do the things you want it to do. ... In my world, it's no longer about the Car of Tomorrow. It's just about a car, trying to do it better than everyone else."

Darby said that the drivers and owners ultimately will drive any decisions that might be made regarding stepping up the COT schedule.

"All-in means everybody's got to be all-in," Darby said. "As early as we're at [following Wednesday's first test session], we've already had car owners who are comfortable with it approaching us and saying, 'Look, giddyup, let's go!'

"I believe as we go through the season, that list will continue to grow. And once the car owners are all there, NASCAR won't have any problem with welcoming that in 2008. But the garage will be the driving factor in that."

Another factor that will have to be considered before moving the schedule up, according to Darby, is making certain all the race teams can get all the parts they'll need to build fleets exclusively of the COT variety within an accelerated time frame.

"It sounds real easy, like flipping a switch. But it's actually really complicated. There are a lot of boxes to check," he said. "You start with the drivers and car owners, where you get a comfort zone. ... But what we can't have happen is have four teams in the garage not have something available to them."

[BCH]

I think that's a good thing Tools, If you're going to do it, all at once is better than a little at a time. Really, running two programs at once must be a real pain in the ass.

[Ballbuster1]

This will go on all season.
No it won't. This stuff is getting annoying and needs to stop.
I'd appreciate it if it just ends now.

Thanks.

[Bud8Weiser]

RIP DEI.
This will be very true when Jr leaves for RCR. I have to say I"m quite looking forward to it.

I think thats the best thing. All the back and forth stuff is gonna mess with the consistantcy of things. This way they just get in the car and get settled.

[Motor Head]

I think more then a few of you will agree that Dale Jr. needs to go to RCR, and let mommie dearest keep the #8. He should request his dads #3. I know some of the Dale Sr. fans will not be happy about it. But think about it. Dale running with RCR with the #3 would be cool. I would love to see DEI = DIE.

I agree. I would love to see Jr. drive the #3 car. I'm a big Dale Sr. fan
and I agree with Childress that he's the only one who should get that number.

[bill333]

Only problem with this is that Dale Sr. had started this business, with the kids in mind, of taking over some day. I don't know if anyone else would take it places like Jr. would. If anyone is to get the #3, it should be Jr. but don't you think he would also want to carve his own name? I mean, we see Petty's #43 out there and we know there will never be another King. Since you can't retire the numbers then it's just time to move on.

[Ballbuster1]

I don't know. Dale Sr started DEI but still drove for RCR. I don't see a
big problem with it. He deserves to run DEI but if the cunt won't
let go of the company then he should be in the #3.

[bill333]

Yeah, who would have imagined it'd be a woman to f*ck things up. :rolleyes:

[Motor Head]

What a fucking powerhouse RCR would become. BOWYER - HARVICK - BURTON - EARNHARDT.

Bowyer is underated and coming on strong. Harvick could win the cup this year. Burton is a seasoned veteran and nows how to win. Earnhardt is a super talented driver that lacks the financial backing. Case in point Yates Racing spent a fucking million dollars researching unleaded fuels effect on the high revving small blocks. DEI spent $0. Dale lost a motor in California.

Dale should just go to RCR, and let the lawyers deal with mommie dearest. I wonder if Dale does so many endoresement because he would have to bum gas money to get to the races if he didn't. File a lawsuit on behalf of your siblins and yourself. At the very least you can bleed her dry with attorney fees. Dale Sr. said DEI was for his kids. Darryl Waltrip said Dale Sr. had told everyone that DEI was for his children. His wife already had millions from his endorsements, racing winnings, and lets not forget she still owns his likeness and the trademarked # 3 logo.

How does she pay back Dale Sr? By fucking his children out of thier birthright. Greedy Prada wearing track groupie.

[bill333]

Yeah, go ask Gordon about that shit. Half! :kjk:

question for all you jr fans... The show he does on 144 ...unrestricted with Dale Jr

I always miss it on thursdays and I was told that he had Mark on this week for quite a bit. Does anyone record or know where I could get a copy of it. I checked audible but nothing comes up.

[fkornre]

ahhh...who give a shit about jr...honestly???

now for today's race in Mexico im pulling out my curly 'fro and rooting for Mr Boris Said :)

http://i.a.cnn.net/nascar/2005/news/features/last_lap/08/09/road.rash/ll.boris.said.384.jpg

[Ballbuster1]

They pulled that small chicane out of that long front stretch.
They really get some speed up going into turn 1 this year.
Should be a good race this year.

[Bunny™]

It's weird that the former series champ Greg Biffle has rookie stripes on the rear bumper.

[Ballbuster1]

This thing's setting up for a great finish between Pruett, Said and Montoya.
It's a battle of the road warriors. :clap:

[fkornre]

yea...until montoya spins out his teammate...

[Ballbuster1]

He should have backed off there. He had plenty of time and a faster car.
He better hope that fender doesn't cut into the front tire.

[fkornre]

i hope it does...lets go SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ballbuster1]

I'd love to see Boris win it, but Montoya looks faster and Hamlin is tough too.
Those newer tires are really helping him out.

[fkornre]

how bout Pruett afterwards...sounds like he might have some words for his teammate...

and god damn does connie montoya have a bangin body...:)

Scott P is a little Dick.

[Ballbuster1]

Pruett may be pissed but I don't agree that Montoya did that on purpose.
He had a fast car and Pruett looked like he was going wide in turn 1. I
think Juan thought he had a shot and Pruett slammed the door on him.
It looked like plain old hard racing for a win to me.

What is it with Nascar anyway. Is it a racial thing? White people, are you just embracing this as the last sport which the black man hasn't entered & dominated? I guess you could include hockey in with that, but all those fuckers are foreign. Or French, which is worse.

[Motor Head]

Race has nothing to do with it. Watching people race at 200 MPH with only inches between them is a thrill to watch. I drag race, and my car should click off its first mid 9 second pass this season. That's Zero to 138 mph in 9.5 seconds. But I would happily trade off my drag car for a NASCAR Nextel or even a Busch car with a contract and sponsors. Living in the midwest you have to race on dirt tracks, which I have never taken in interest in. Maybe I should of been born in the south.

Meantime, I will watch NHRA and NASCAR. If it burns fuel and has 4 tires, it will always get my attention. VIVA LAS VEGAS!!! #07 PWNS!!!!

He better get his shit together or Napa will be jumping ship. Speaking of sponsors leaving. Whats the deal with Robby Gordon having no sponsor. I didn't hear anything about that. You would think Harrahs would be on the car since they're in Vegas. They do have something out there don't they?

Yeah, Mikey's really gotta get his ass in gear. I can't imagine NAPA going to someone else because Waltrip always does good commercials for them, but he still has to get the car in the race now and then. I figured Harrah's had a lot of somethings out there in Vegas, but yeah that is kinda odd that he's sponsorless this week. Maybe they're getting tired of his only halfway decent performance, but considering he's still in the show every week that's not bad at all.

Again, this top 35 rule sucks the reasoning out of qualifying. They should make it the top 40 cars, two provisionals in case someone wrecks during qualifying set by owner points that go to others on time if nobody wrecks, and a past champ's provisional. And you should only get limited provisionals for the year.

Robby has been in worse shape other years and he had sponsors. He's 14th in points as of now.

that really doesn't surprise me. I would've thought Blaney might have started out better than he has, but Toyota is going to struggle all year without a doubt. I feel bad for Doug Ritchert, he is a great crew chief, and Roush was a fool to let him go.

Ok, I am SERIOUSLY getting pissed at how the top 35 teams are dogging it. Every single "Did not qualify" team was FASTER than Ricky Rudd was. Wimmer was faster than the bottom 12 cars. And yet they're all going home and will continue to go home because if they can't make a race, there's no way that they'll be able to earn owner points to continue to get into races. It's absolute bullshit and NASCAR has to realize that.

And poor Robby Gordon being told he can't have new sponsors that compete with Sprint/Nextel. I bet Lowe's or Home Depot would LOVE that kind of protection. Or Budweiser or Miller.

[Ballbuster1]

It's all about the money. Those top teams are the ones spending big bucks
and Nutcar is just kissing their asses to make sure they make the races.
It really does stink.

I really don't think Mark Martin has it in him to throw a race. He wants to win no matter what he's running. He's run the truck and Busch series to win races without running the whole season. Whether he's running the whole schedule or just partial, he's gonna go out there and do his best and try to win. If he's leading the points at the end of the day so be it. If he wants to continue he will. If not, he won't. The only way I think he should run the whole schedule would be to stay in the 01. But that wouldn't happen. They would find another car to put him in and it wouldn't be as good a car and he wouldn't run as well so it would be a waste to continue running. I think he has the situation he wants right now and unless they would leave him in the 01 he'll probably sit out. Just my two cents.

they were raving all day on his Hot Pass channel about how great the pit stops were, but on the last one for some reason the runt they have as a jack man was slow as fuck.

[circpro]

Jimmie Johnson is definitely back in championship form.

But so is Tony Stewart.

Stewart, the 2005 Nextel Cup champion, came up short in his bid to win Sunday in Atlanta -- which would have been his second straight at the Georgia -- but he showed why he'll be a title contender this year.

Stewart was his old aggressive self on Sunday, leading 121 laps of the 500-mile grind before finally giving up the lead to Johnson with three laps to go.

But not without a fight.

Johnson and Stewart put on a stirring battle for the top spot as the race wound down, and only after Stewart slapped the wall trying to keep his Chevy ahead of the defending series champ -- damaging his car in the process -- was the outcome decided.

As Johnson scored his second straight victory, Stewart was left stewing in second place.

"Nobody ever likes to hit the wall," Stewart said. "That's pretty much a no-brainer. I wish he'd have given me a little more room. I don't think I ever pinched him or kept him from having room on the race track to race. He had a faster car. He's probably going to get around us anyway, but I'd like to have seen him give me room to race him for it."

The surly Stewart was on full display, and that could be bad news for the rest of the title contenders.

After missing the Chase last season, Stewart was one of the hottest drivers on the circuit during the last 10 races of the season. He rattled off three victories during the playoff portion of the schedule and although he wasn't eligible to win the championship, drove as well as any of the title contenders.

That momentum was what got Stewart through the winter months and into the new season with optimism and confidence.

"A lot of things have lined up to make us feel really good coming in here this year," said Stewart at the beginning of the year in Daytona. "It's kind of one of those things where I'm superstitious about everything, and it's one of those things where this falls in line. I feel like maybe we'll have the opportunity to get there."

But Stewart started out the new season in the worst possible way -- last in the Daytona 500.

Although he had a dominant car during all of Speedweeks -- winning the Bud Shootout and his Twin 150 qualifying race -- he got caught in an accident with Kurt Busch during the 500, while the duo was running first and second.

Undaunted, Stewart has put the Daytona disappointment behind him. His runner-up finish in Atlanta was his third straight Top 10 finish.

That burst has moved Stewart into sixth in the standings, now only 122 points out of the lead as the season reaches the critical Car of Tomorrow portion of the season.

The next two races at Bristol and Martinsville will see the debut of the next edition of the Nextel Cup car -- a bigger and boxier version that has been met with some skepticism by many drivers including Stewart, who called it a "flying brick" during a recent test session.

However, with the new model set to be used at 16 of the 36 races this season, Stewart knows doing well in the Car of Tomorrow will mean the difference between celebrating a championship or being an also-ran for the second straight year.

"I think whoever can stumble on the combination and figure out the Car of Tomorrow first is probably the team that's the leading candidate to win the championship this year," Stewart said.

But new car or not, Stewart's main focus next week -- and every week -– is to just win.

"I want to win every race," he said. "Next week's not a landmark race for me by any means. I'm treating it just like any other race. It's the same cast of suspects and we're all out there trying to do the same thing."

[Bud8Weiser]

QFT. Those are all top notch organizations that are consistant week in week out and have great running cars. DEI just doesn't have that. Thats what makes those teams win championships.

It was good to see Truex have another solid finish. This time in the top 10.

hmm, let's see. Biffle, McMurray, Mears, Sadler, Newman, and Edwards are all more overrated than Jr. You just don't like Jr, and that's fine. If he had a car like Johnson, Smoke, or Kenseth have under them, he'd be just as good if not better. As long as DEI is as fucked up as it is and his crew fumbles during the key pit of the race he's going to only be a top 10 driver, but if he does leave DEI after this year, he will win the championship

[fkornre]

i would agree that jr would be better with better equip but jr is the face of nascar (along with the other idiot gordon)...not the guys you mentioned...

[Beeman99]

i would agree that jr would be better with better equip but jr is the face of nascar (along with the other idiot gordon)...not the guys you mentioned...


so what if he's the face of Nascar, how does that make him over rated. He has 17 wins in subpar equipment, he's the son of a legend, and has lived up to that pressure. He sells the sport, sells his sponsers products. Is it because Kenseth can't do that that you call Jr overrated?? Yes Kenseth has a Championship, and I do think he's a great driver, but he's no better than Jr, he's just had better equipment. Now Gordon, that faggot is overrated, he won't win a championship again.

[fkornre]

lol...kenseth is the epitome of greatness...he is a class driver and he is probably the most consistent driver in nascar...he has wins and a championship...he was rookie of the year...kenseth was brought into nascar with the same stigma that jr has...jr is supposed to be this "great" driver...he has proven shit yet...when he wins a championship maybe i can agree but he is not consistent (unless you call crap consistent)...stop with the "better equipment" theory...you make do with what you have and try to finish well...not everyone has a great car each week and that includes the 17, 48 and 20...

but i can agree with you on gordon :)

[Beeman99]

lol...kenseth is the epitome of greatness...he is a class driver and he is probably the most consistent driver in nascar...he has wins and a championship...he was rookie of the year...kenseth was brought into nascar with the same stigma that jr has...jr is supposed to be this "great" driver...he has proven shit yet...when he wins a championship maybe i can agree but he is not consistent (unless you call crap consistent)...stop with the "better equipment" theory...you make do with what you have and try to finish well...not everyone has a great car each week and that includes the 17, 48 and 20...

but i can agree with you on gordon :)


well, at least we can agree on Gordon.


I agree with you on Kenseth to a point, but you take him out of a Roush car and put him in a DEI car and he'll be the same. I agree Jr makes some mental miscues (last year at the fall Martinsville race stands out, that lost the championship there). The difference between Kenseth and Jr is that Kenseth only has racing to focus on, he's not a sponsers dream outside the car (you and I both know he isn't keen on being the one in the spotlight), whereas Jr has a fuckload of outside business to worry about.

Maybe if Jr concentrated only on racing and had better equipment he'd be as consistent as Kenseth, but I will disagree that Kenseth is any better than Jr. The only driver I'd consider better than Jr is Smoke.

[Beeman99]

oh, btw, I will say Kenseth has by far one of the hottest wives as well.

[fkornre]

lol...well we will agree to disagree (thanx opie)...

yes katie is very hott...

[Ballbuster1]

Wtf? They don't have them now. Why add them? That's really a dumb article.

[Sutsu]

ESPN probably told the guy to write up a story about the car of tomorrow and today's cars and point out a common problem. He chose speedo's because he's an idiot that doesn't realize to calibrate a speedo based on the different transmission gear ratios and the final drive would just be idiotic. That or he was so unimaginative he couldn't find anything else to write about.

from Jayski:

Shooting suspect arrested; accused of firing into crowd at NASCAR event: A man suspected of opening fire on a crowd at California Speedway during NASCAR [Busch Series] races last month was arrested Monday by sheriff's deputies. Ramon Luis Caraballos, 30, of San Bernardino was booked into Central Detention Center on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies said. Deputies from the Fontana station responded to a reported shooting at 8:17pm/pt, Saturday, Feb. 24 at the Speedway, 9300 Cherry Ave. The shooting occurred after a fight between Caraballos and another man. Deputies said Caraballos had been drinking and punched the man in the face. He then pulled out a knife and later got a gun from his car. He fired twice at the man and a crowd behind him, but no one was struck, deputies said. Investigators identified Caraballos as the suspect Monday and arrested him in San Bernardino. Sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller did not have any further information on the incident Tuesday evening. He was being held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon in lieu of $50,000 bail, according to the sheriff's online log. A call to California Speedway on Tuesday was not returned.(San Bernardino County Sun)(3-21-2007)


note to self, never go to Fontana or Infineon.

DJ is there in 33rd place. Toyota needs to step it up or this will be a long,

Even if they do step it up, it'll be a long season for them.

Except for Mikey, 'cause his season really hasn't even started yet.

FOOD CITY 500 LINEUP
Jeff Gordon wins the Bud Pole Award and Kasey Khane gets the
outside slot for the 1st COT race. This might be the most Toyotas
to start so far this year. Only Mikey and Reutimann missed the show.
DJ finally gets in on speed this time and Montoya needs to take a
provisional to race. I don't see him doing well this time around.

Another solid top 35 starting spot for Jr. Blech. Nice 31st place effort. Notice those top notch organizations like Gibbs and Hendrick with cars at the top. Not DEI. NIce job by Truex again. :clap: Jr 31st and Menard goes home. I see they put a lot of R and D into the COT. What a joke. I'm really getting annoyed with this. And Mikey misses another. How many more before Napa pulls its sponsorship? Any bets?

[Ballbuster1]

I am watching the Nascar stuff on the Deuce and Rusty has predicted a
top 10 for Montoya. I don't see it.
As for DEI, I really thought they would have qualifyed better. The bigger
teams with the bigger budgets should have been able to tune the COT
better than others. DEI just seems to be missing that this year.

I don't see Montana getting a top 10 at Bristol either. Despite what happened in Mexico City, he's a finesse driver. Bristol has nothing to do with finesse. I think its gonna be a long day for John Paul.

[KantSpelGi]

You can't even drive the car off the banking without the possibility of screwing up the front end.
looked like most of the guy's were turning hard left to even the frontend out hitting pit lane.

I didn't get to see qualifying. For some reason Nascar saw fit to put it on in the middle of the afternoon. I guess they figure no one works. First race with the COT. You would have thought they would have put qualifying on when people could watch.

[Ballbuster1]

Yeah. The front splitter looks like it might be a problem.
It's really low and looks very fragile.

[Sutsu]

Once again, the qualifying doesn't do the field justice. Lepage, Reutimann and Mikey all made it on time but not on points, which at the rate some of them are making races will be never. Harvick, Ragan and Busch make it because they're more important for NASCAR not to let them race. Eehyuck.
Four Toyota's though, that's pretty good. And it's good to see Mayfield actually make a race this season. Who knows, might be the only one he makes.

[KantSpelGi]

Some sponsors are going to revolt, nascar can't baby the select few.
Racing has allways been about the fastest car racing.

[Ballbuster1]

Papa Wallace oughta be proud. Steven just won his 1st pole in the
Busch series beating out Ryan Newman. Nice job by the kid.
Of course, it doesn't hurt having a dad that's won there 9 times.

I think Jr was off yesterday due to the fact his sister was in for surgery to have a syst taken off her pancreas.

Dale Jr./DEI conracts on hold while sister is in hospital UPDATE: Negotiations to re-sign with the company his father built isn't #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s top concern at the moment. The health of his sister is. Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, who has been negotiating the new deal at Dale Earnhardt Inc. (DEI) with her brother, is scheduled to undergo surgery Friday. "My sister is in the hospital right now, so we're going to have to put everything on hold for a while," Earnhardt Jr. said Thursday at Bristol Motor Speedway. "She's going to be in the hospital for a couple of days. We'll be watching that pretty closely. Everything in life is on hold until that gets better." Representatives of DEI would not discuss specifics of the surgery, only to say that the family was concerned. A source close to the situation said a benign cyst was discovered on Elledge's pancreas last week. Elledge's situation has forced the postponement of several negotiation meetings the past week and a half. But sources close to the situation said the meetings prior to that had gone well and that Teresa Earnhardt, Earnhardt Jr.'s stepmother and the owner of DEI, was actively involved. "Our No. 1 priority right now is for Kelley to have a speedy recovery," said Max Siegel, the vice president for Global Operations at DEI.(ESPN.com)(3-22-2007)
UPDATE: Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, who handles brother Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s business affairs and is general manager of JR Motorsports, is resting comfortably after surgery earlier today, said JR Motorsports Director of Motorsports Steve Crisp. Crisp would not disclose the exact nature of the surgery. "She's good," Crisp said. "Everything went as expected. She's resting right now. ... Everything was a success. All indications are that everything is all taken care of." Earnhardt Jr. said Thursday that his contract negotiations with Dale Earnhardt Inc. were on hold until Earnhardt Elledge could return to the negotiating table. Earnhardt Elledge is married to Jimmy Elledge, crew chief for #41-Reed Sorenson in the Nextel Cup Series at Chip Ganassi Racing. Jimmy Elledge was not at the track Friday, with Busch Series crew chief Brian Pattie helping fill that role. Jimmy Elledge is expected to be at the track Sunday to call the shots.(SceneDaily.com)(3-23-2007)

He was 8th quickest in Happy Hour today and finished 6th in the Busch race

Why does tony Stewert hate the COT?

BTW finally saw what one looks like, EWW!


I also gotta say NASCAR's one of my favorite sports, but the last 2 years, especially this year I can't get into it at all. Goes to show what happens when my favorite driver retired.

Rusty was too mellow at the end, still a great driver though. I don't think the car is so much ugly as it is different. Honestly though, could you really tell a difference between the current cars, it's not like the days where the car you bought at the dealership was modified then taken racing. I don't mind the COT so far, but tomorrow will answer a lot of questions surrounding it.

I wanna see what it does on a bigger track where the speeds get higher
and the draft starts to kick in. They claim this car won't develop the aero-push
problems that the current cars get when the speeds are higher and the
racing gets close.

[Sutsu]

NASCAR has to let their teams do something to the cars to make them more like the actual cars. The COT was a perfect opportunity to do that, instead they're cookie cutter designs of one another and still don't look enough like their automotive counterparts.

I wonder what would happen if one of the manufacturers actually released a Camry or Fusion that was a production replica of a COT?

[SpotcheckBilly]

Nice to see Sadler that far up in the lineup. I love Bristol, and look forward to the race, esp. to see the COT run.

[Save My Up's Dick]

I hate that fucking wing, reminds me of Fast and the furious...no, I don't like the imports. I like the car but not that wing.

Nice to see Kasey Kahne starting up front, I'm hoping for a top ten from him.....and JR too.

[fkornre]

one thing i can not stand about nascar is during the pre-race ceremonies they have an invocation...im sorry but i dont believe in god nor do i need to hear some christ follower say a prayer before an even that has more than just catholics at it...


by the way lets go KENSETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap:

[Beeman99]

well, Kenseth just wrecked Jarrett, nice clean racing Matt.

[fkornre]

looks like the 44 checked up...not matt's fault...

[Beeman99]

the 45 was in front of the 44, no where for the 44 to go.

Is it just me or does that Arby's paint scheme look like shit. And Jr is a coming.

Have any of you guys done the richard petty driving experience? when i go down to lowes for the 600 i'm going the monday after the race

I was going to go to the one at Disney after I was at Homestead in the fall, but I ran out of time as I had to get back to Miami to get my flight out.

I would love to do it at either Lowes, Homestead, Bristol, Vegas, or Atlanta. Hopefully one day I'll get to do the full experience, too bad it's $3000 though

hah, JPM got the boot, and luckily Jr just scuffed some tires. Good race so far. Now I can't wait to see this thing at Richmond or Dover

[fkornre]

didnt get to ask this before the race but anyone wanna bet on the amount of cautions???

i say 13...

[Gladys kravitz]

I did it at the Chicagoland speedway and it was even better than I imagined. I would recommend you practice a NASCAR video game. I practiced on the playstation and it helped in the turns and the banking. Are you going with a group or solo? I went alone but there was a group from budweiser that made it evern more enjoyable. Also if your bringing family members, I would suggest to bring chairs(foldable) and a lunch. My son got a ride along in the van with others kids and he had a blast.

well, we're at 5 now right, so I'm going to go with 17, only because of the COT, and the fact that near the end of the race it's going to be a cluster fuck

[Deadhead]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sadler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fkornre]

2 pits in 2 laps...things dont look good for the 19...he had such a great car...one of the only cars who can run with smoke so far...

[Beeman99]

Not surprising to see the 16 and 17 running well, a little surprising to see the 26 up there, but that's just proof of what good resources can do

[fkornre]

awwwwwwwwwwwww...smoke has no fuel pressure :) hahahahahaha

[Beeman99]

he's back out, 23 laps down.

[Deadhead]

FOX coverage sucks!!!
Been listening on the headphones.
Miss NASCAR on XM.
It was the besssssst.

Im lucky that I got 2 local stations w/PRN on the cup races.
Sucks that I cant find a Busch race. FORGET THE TRUCK RACE!

Maybe this merger could help?????? MAYBE?????

PRN isn't anywhere to be found up here. And I'd like to wait for the merger, but that's if it ever happens.

I find that I run Hot Pass more now than I do the Fox broadcast, at least that way I can watch the race without commercials

[fkornre]

at least gordon didnt win...

[Beeman99]

It's a toss up between who's worse to win, Busch or Gordon. Nice to see Jr get a top 10, easily had a top 5 car, but his crew fucked that up again.

[stinkindutchman]

Kyle Busch is my driver, so I'm happy. But more importantly, I was listening to some PRN show after the race, on XM 144, and they were taking calls. One of the callers said, "I'm sorry, that's terrible." A stretch, I know, and worded in the wrong order, but it made me wonder. Then, another caller ended his call with a "Frrrunciss!" That cannot be mistaken for anything but a call out to O&A.

Wow, Mikey and the rest of the "Did Not Qualify" drivers really legitimately DIDN'T qualify. The grid is actually what it should be every week.

[Ballbuster1]

Looks like the exhaust of the COT is one of the first problems that
needs to be adressed after it's debut.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Brian Vickers suffered burns on his feet and backside. Denny Hamlin has been battling headaches. Matt Kenseth has felt sick all week.
The Car of Tomorrow is supposed to be the safest vehicle ever used in NASCAR, with a larger cockpit area and side panels lined with energy-absorbing foam. But some drivers were exposed to dangerous carbon monoxide fumes when their exhaust systems failed in last week's debut at Bristol, Tenn., forcing crews to scramble to rectify the problem before Sunday's event at Martinsville Speedway.

FULL STORY HERE (http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/03/30/cot.safety.issues.martinsville/index.html)

I have no doubt that there will be more fixes required as the car
gets more track time in actual race conditions.
