Daytona 500 watching Thead

[Earth2murf]

...its a musical review....what no country?

[Earth2murf]

it should be funny all Dale Jr's fans will be sucking down cases of Amp insted of Bud...Fuckers will be bouncing off the walls...

[FullBallz]

This looks like the world biggest baby christening party. When's the Electric Slide starting?

[Earth2murf]

Brooks and duh!!!

[FullBallz]

Are they gonna lean his car up against the wall in turn 3 in 2011?

[ginaf20697]

I'm glad the Rangers are on so I don't have to watch this shit until green flag.

[Earth2murf]

shit DW is the fucking Grim Reaper

[Earth2murf]

tee hee he said Dick!!!!

[Fruit Monkey]

When does this fucking start. I want to napp and need it to make me fall asleep.

[Ballbuster1]

Way to go Kevin. "My favorite 500 was last year."
Way to be humble.

[TallBaby]

so they have all the former winners there to give the command, but only show plasticy darrell waltrip and a crowd shot....

and that is how you executive produce.

[Hudson]

I don't understand car racing..do people just watch it for the wrecks?

[Mother Shucker]

Bwa ha ha.

[Earth2murf]

[Ballbuster1]

That's one of the good parts. I'll admit that.

[TallBaby]

Nemechek Rocking The Porn 'stache!!!!!!

[FullBallz]

This is great background noise as I fill up my new iPod Touch :D

[Ballbuster1]

So now Gordon is from Charlotte?
Why not mention California?

[ginaf20697]

At least Gordon isn't trying to sell that shit that he's from Indiana anymore.

[Mother Shucker]

Great, now I have to c an animation every time they go to the "gopher cam"?

[Hudson]

That's one of the good parts. I'll admit that.
Is there a primer for people to understand it?..is there strategy involved?..I know this sounds like a stupid question coming from a person working in a sport that few people understand..but I have friends that get all excited over this and I am like yeah..cool a reason to get drunk.

[Earth2murf]

New Jersey's own Martain Truex

[TallBaby]

so is the Gophercam graphic going to become the new microsoft paperclip or the talking baseball on MLB broadcasts?

They introduce the gophercam and then put up a huge fucking cartoon in the middle of the screen.....

God Nascar is terribly produced these days.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

He must have moved to be closer to the action.

[Mother Shucker]

WE get it Darryl, your a redneck. Enough of that retarded boogity thing.

[ginaf20697]

Hopefully it's the new Peter Puck.

[Earth2murf]

i cant find Jr's car

[Mother Shucker]

If you want to figure out why people like NASCAR, go to Dover for a race. You will have fun.

[Mother Shucker]

By the way, I have the 18 car in a pool. So if Gordon does not win, go 18!

[Ballbuster1]

Love the gopher cam.

[TallBaby]

for this particular race (and other races at Daytona and Talladega, the two super-speedways), the strategy is to find other cars that your car drafts well with, and to position yourself away from the middle of the back. You'll get guys who push hard to stay up front, and guys who will drop to the back in hopes that they'll avoid a huge wreck (which almost always happens and takes out 10-20 cars). It's a lot more of a chess match than it looks. When they pit, who they pit with (you could lose the draft if you pit by yourself) and where their pit stalls are relative to other teams are also strategy aspects.

[Earth2murf]

someone is gonna DIE

[FullBallz]

I've been watching this for 2 years and there are still things I don't get. I just got how drafting works at the end of last year. It'll take some time. Just try and enjoy it. Go to a race too. That's when I got interested finally.

[Earth2murf]

i'd rub cocks with dale Jr......no homo

[FullBallz]

That gopher cam is pretty badass.

[TallBaby]

Great, now I have to c an animation every time they go to the "gopher cam"?

Looks like thats gonna be the case :arrrh:


Lets just pray that all cars in the race are on the lead lap, so we dont have to see the Lucky Dog animation..

[Hudson]

Drafting I understand..we use it in swimming..so there are cars that are better to draft behind than others? Do they differ that much?

[Ballbuster1]

Going to races rocks! My wife wasn't into Nascar til she went to a
race. Now she loves it. We're going to Atlanta next month, at least
one of the Pocono races and maybe Richmond for a Chase race.

[Earth2murf]

they should have wetback cam....just throw one of those fuckers out on the pavement with a camera

[Fuck Crosby]

Ah...that'd be a real shame if Harvick's engine blew already...

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

I don't think Richmond is a Chase Race this year.

[Hudson]

Got my dad a ride around Pocono a few years ago as an Xmas gift..he liked it

[Ballbuster1]

Nice! It would be great watching as he tried to avoid the cars.:haha7:

[Ballbuster1]

I don't think Richmond is a Chase Race this year.
Oops. My bad, it's the last race BEFORE the chase. I stand corrrreeeeeected.

[TallBaby]

Drafting I understand..we use it in swimming..so there are cars that are better to draft behind than others? Do they differ that much?

Now that they've switched to this new car (The "Car of Tomorrow") which has the huge wing on the back and the splitter on the front, that may not be as big of a factor. In the past, some teams would set their cars aerodynamics to lineup with their teammates cars and they'd sometimes have an advantage if they could get lined up in a row. Sometimes cars of the same make (Chevy, Toyota, Ford, Dodge) will work better with each other than they will with cars of a different make.

[Ballbuster1]

Lots of lead changes so far.

[TallBaby]

Nice! It would be great watching as he tried to avoid the cars.:haha7:

I'd be just as entertained if he got hit.

Sick as it is, I've actually always wondered what it would look like if a Nascar car hit a human being walking across the track in mid-race. It would have to just be a complete liquification of the lower half.

[TallBaby]

lol, the '90 Bristol car.

[Earth2murf]

shut that hole up..goddamn rich Cunt!!!

[dolphin cunt]

Love the gopher cam.

We need some hot chicks in bikinis to come out and towel off the gopher cam during pit stops.

[Earth2murf]

fucking Dale Jr is on FIRE!!!!

[TallBaby]

DW is like the Larry King of Nascar broadcasts

[Earth2murf]

how about a hot wife/girlfriend cam...Come on Ashley Judd,Gordon's wife/beard..Give us some ass...

[Earth2murf]

i didn't know Patrice made a commerical

[Ballbuster1]

DW is like the Larry King of Nascar broadcasts
I always thought that was Benny Parsons. He was a great guy but I never
liked his broadcast style.

[TallBaby]

i didn't know Patrice made a commerical

:clap::clap::clap:

[Earth2murf]

im sitting in my living room drinking beer,totaly ignoring my 7 month old...it will be a life lesson.toughen up kid life sucks so does your daddy

[TallBaby]

I always thought that was Benny Parsons. He was a great guy but I never
liked his broadcast style.

I always thought BP was like Madden. He provides the occasional good point, but its masked by how much he'd state the obvious.

DW is the guy who will just spout off stupid shit. "Sam Hornish will do well because he's from Defiance, Ohio!"

....


ok, terrific.

[ginaf20697]

I always thought that was Benny Parsons. He was a great guy but I never
liked his broadcast style.

QFT. I guess it's wrong that the first thing I thought when he died was "Thank god I never have to hear him during a race again". Little did I know of the horror Rusty Wallace would soon be inflicting on us.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

I'd be just as entertained if he got hit.

Here is a formula 1 car doing it.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Too early to be a Hornish fan? Shit, I didn't even know he made the jump to NASCAR.

[ginaf20697]

w00t!!! Nemewreck is out!

[Ballbuster1]

Nemechek out with tire rubbing and engine problems.

[TallBaby]

w00t!!! Nemewreck is out!

This is as close to the top 35 in points as he'll get all year.

[Earth2murf]

i have blisters on my rear

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

What Channel is the free NASCAR Hot pass on today? Anyone?

Nevermind, It starts on Channel 790. FREE today!

[TallBaby]

anybody know why McMurray is way in the back?

[Ballbuster1]

Kyle Busch is still an ass.

[ginaf20697]

Kyle Busch is still an ass.

Well duh but he's a talented one.

[Earth2murf]

mr.Ronnie B said hell be watching the race today.....gee wounder is lilly still breathing

[TallBaby]

Rowdy Busch?


Does that mean we can hope for a massive head injury?

[TallBaby]

Andretti made his scheduled trip up into the wall and is on pit road. Still waiting on Gilliland and Montoya to wreck.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Fixed it for ya. :action-sm

[Ballbuster1]

OK, the gopher cam is dying in that corner.
Between the sunlight and the tire residue you couldn't see much.

[Earth2murf]

i think Carl killed the golfer cam..er i mean gopher cam

[Ballbuster1]

Lap 80 -- YELLOW FLAG NO. 1: Debris is on the racetrack. Was there?

[TallBaby]

Was there?

remnants from one of DWs train wreck jokes.

[Papagolash]

DW's voice jumps 4 octaves, FOUR WIDE!

[Ballbuster1]

Must have been something there to take out 2 tires on Martin's car I guess.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

I am kinda digging this Hot Pass thing on DirecTV.....Anyone else using the freebee thing to rope you in for the $50?

[Ballbuster1]

Half way. The shrub better not win.

[seeinred]

I'd just like to drop in to say:

Go Kyle Busch go!

[TallBaby]

Fuck those Gillette Young Guns commercials are terrible

[boardsofcanada]

that gopher cam is fuckin tight.

[Salem]

Can some1 explain to me Ford's marketing dept? Advertising tow hooks? Isnt that kinda negative? "Hey our vehicles need to be towed so often we made our tow hooks so strong..." Am I missing something here? Or do I hate fords that much.

I think they are taking some ideas from those bad ass Toyota commercials.

[Ballbuster1]

I still think they should have made at least one race in a UPS
sponsored truck in the CTS.
Would have been fun to actually see Dale race a truck.

[Salem]

I think they are taking some ideas from those bad ass Toyota commercials.

Who signs off on "our tow hooks are so strong" promo? Some1 dropped the ball on that one. Shit like that just amazes me. All that money and all the people involved and no1 really notices they are advertising the part of the vehicle you use when it breaksdown due to mechanical failure and are stuck on the side of the road?

[KantSpelGi]

Scott Riggs has somehow managed to get less airtime for State Water Heaters than Ward did...

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Fuck me, I still wish Earnhardt and Stewart would have been team-mates!!!!!!!

[Papagolash]

Regan lost control of that car when it hit into Kenseth. That good shot of them coming off the corner you see David just yank the wheel all the way to the left and it didn't respond. Bet Matt's pissed

[Ballbuster1]

Not sure I like the strategy for the 88.
We'll see how this plays out.

[BCH]

Yeah really BJ I'm pretty pissed myself. Top 10 to a DNF in 2 seconds.

[TallBaby]

Stationary backstretch wall cam >>>>>> gopher cam

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

God Damn, go SMOKE!

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Great Racing, sheeeeesh...........I am running out of BEEEEEER!

[TallBaby]

well, in fantasy I have Stewart, Jr, Blaney, Newman and M. Waltrip

[Ballbuster1]

It's gettin hot out there. There could be a big wreck coming.

[Ballbuster1]

That's 1. How many more?

[ginaf20697]

YES! This race keeps getting better and better. Buh bye HoMoS!!

[TallBaby]

Fuck You Fox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Show The Damn Race

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

YES! This race keeps getting better and better. Buh bye HoMoS!!

Gone to fuck?

[Ballbuster1]

Not off to a good start in the fantasy league.
Good thing it's a long season.

[TallBaby]

dang it, Bowyer spins

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Montoya never fails........,

[seeinred]

That's 1. How many more?

At least 1, apparently

[ginaf20697]

Montoya never fails........,

They were right though. It was either punt or be punted.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

They were right though. It was either punt or be punted.


I loffed, and loffed



.....and Punt......

[BusyChild04]

you know. I've never been a "fan" of NASCAR and never really watched a race but have always had the greatest respect for the sport. I gotta say though...I'm enjoying watching this alot. It's keeping me from studying.

[TallBaby]

[seeinred]

Jesus... fucking cautions

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Jesus FUCKING Christ! Another caution? Calm the fuck down ya shit dicks!!!!!!!!!!!

[TallBaby]

that was all mears

[Ballbuster1]

That's was definitely Mears' fault.

[ginaf20697]

Shit, why does it take so many laps to restart?

[TallBaby]

anybody but Busch...anybody but busch....anybody but busch...

[seeinred]

anybody but Busch...anybody but busch....anybody but busch...

I guess I'm the only one in the world who likes him, eh?

[Ballbuster1]

I can live with Busch not winning it.

[Stalker2]

Great race!

[NoSurviivors]

round and round they go.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Anyone see that midget in Newmans Pit!!!!!!

[TallBaby]

in case you didnt see this in the Nascar season thread:

goin out on a limb here....I'm gonna predict the top 15 finishers just for shits and grins:

1. Ryan Newman
2. Greg Biffle
3. Tony Stewart
4. Dale Earnhardt Jr
5. Dave Blaney
6. Jeff Gordon
7. Casey Mears
8. Reed Sorenson
9. Denny Hamlin
10. Robby Gordon
11. Jimmie Johnson
12. Kyle Busch
13. Scott Riggs
14. Matt Kenseth
15. Paul Menard

[Ballbuster1]

Good for Penske though. Rusty could never get him a 500 win.

[bill333]

Anyone see that midget in Newmans Pit!!!!!!

I saw him.


"oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !"

[dolphin cunt]

How about it Ryan Newman 2008 Daytona 500 Champ Are you kidding me

[bill333]

I'm glad that little dickhead Kyle lost. The one fucking time he fucked up. The car that most likely was the best one out there, Jr. follows him and Kyle has to let up because he dropped below the yellow. Not that Jr. could win but was a top 5.

Ah well, top 10 is still good considering how the rest of the stall finished. :clap:

[TallBaby]

Anyone see that midget in Newmans Pit!!!!!!

O-zone midget sighting of the day!

[SweetRelease]

I was a naysayer for many years. I grew up in southern california, skateboarded, listened to punk rock my whole life...not your stereotypical nascar fan. When I was in Charlotte one year, Microsoft hooked us up with tix for the race. The only reason I went was because you can bring your own beer in. By the end of the first lap, I was hooked.

You can't really gauge the speed when you're watching it on tv because the camera is moving with the cars. When you're sitting there stationary, it really sinks in how fast and loud and close together they truly are, and it is awesome. Going to a non-short track race would be the best way to test the waters, and it adds to the entertainment when you watch it on tv because you know how fast they're going.

We go to richmond twice a year. Just the people watching opportunity is worth the price of the ticket.

[SweetRelease]

How about it Ryan Newman 2008 Daytona 500 Champ Are you kidding me

That race kinda stunk until about 22 to go. My boy got a top 10. Good way to start the season.

Hello Mr. 111 post :icon_roll.



:icon_neut

[ginaf20697]

At least we don't have to see any more of that dumb cunt Kim Burton.

[Ballbuster1]

Typical Busch. They layed back and I was forced out of bounds.
Wah wah. STFU!

[seeinred]

Kyle Busch: always magnanimous in defeat. I love it.

[TallBaby]

Typical Busch. They layed back and I was forced out of bounds.
Wah wah. STFU!

This.

I can think of 38 guys(+10 who didnt even make the race) who would have liked your 4th place finish, Kyle.

[TallBaby]

anybody gonna mention Elliott Sadler? I think the only time his name was spoken was when he introduced himself in the starting lineup

[bill333]

I think I saw the midget standing on the roof of the trophy car. :rolleyes:

[Papagolash]

Fucking A, I HATE no neck Newman. Would have loved to have seen Busch and that #2 win. Fuck Newman, piece of shit.

Can't believe my whole life watching NASCAR that Penske's 1st superspeedway win wasn't Rusty.

You made me your sig? You ass! :)

Well, not as good a start as I hoped for...

Matt got 35th running. At least they got him back out there. On to Cali!

[boardsofcanada]

Some nice tight racing at the end...its a shame there was all those fucking cautions. Glad fucking jimmie johnson got out early and stewart didn't win so im happy.

[jagsfans]

You made me your sig? You ass! :)

Yea I was fucking pissed when the rookie knocked Kenseth out. He was running well all day long

[moegolden]

I actually went to college with Newman and I always remembered this article. it was the first i had heard of him, although i was probably in some of the big freshman engineering lectures with him.

http://www.purdueexponent.org/2001/01/11/features/index.html

[Earth2murf]

Ryan has allways been a clean racer.im glade he got his win..

[Shadow812]

Did any one else see the midget at the end while they were showing his wife and shit crying.

[mr. sin]

YUP WASNT HE SITTING IN A LITTLE go cart of something ryans wife was liek wtf get out of our pits!

[moegolden]

Did any one else see the midget at the end while they were showing his wife and shit crying.

I choose to believe that the midget was really a Newman crew member inside of the engine, fixing stuff during the race.
