The Official Nascar Thread

[KenKill75]

Anyone else looking forward to this season in Nascar? Any predictions? I think Jimmie Johnson is looking to be one of the favorites for the Cup. Personally, I think Jr. is going to fall short again. I think that crew swap with Waltrip might have been a mistake.

I think MAGO will draft someone's ass... :laugh:

and...I think you're right with Jr. and Waltrip...although I am rooting for Junior though...

[KenKill75]

I dont root for Jr. He's too popular, and #1 it gets on my nerves the way everyone kisses his ass, and #2, I think he's become a little arrogant because of it. But thats just me.

Underdog of the year, Kyle Petty. I like him even though he hasnt done squat in a very long time. But this year they're using Evernham engines and I think he will be much improved.

[dionysusolympus]

I know what you're getting at. But from my perspective, he isn't really that arrogant (from the few races that I've seen).

I think you're right again. I would love to see Dale Jarrett make a comeback. But I don't see it happening... :barney:

[KenKill75]

Well, ive heard some comments that he's made that seemed condescending to other drivers to me.

Jarrett might be pretty good. He sure looked very fast while getting that Pole yesterday. I dont think he'll win the championship, but he could have a good year.

[Heath]

Mark Martin, driving the number six bitches.

I'm really excited about this season though. It's a toss up.

[KenKill75]

Mark Martin needs chap stick in a major way. :wink:

[Heath]

Mark Martin > you x 20.

[KenKill75]

Yes, but he still needs chap stick

[jazz]

nascar's slogan should be:

'the most fun you'll have turning left.'

[Tzarina]

Eh, F-off to NASCAR... NHRA is so much better... :nod:

[KenKill75]

You want to like NHRA, go right ahead, but there's no need to curse out what other people like, and quite frankly, thats awfully immature of you :shame:

[jazz]

uh, she's joking ken...remember, lilley would just brush these things off. we must look to his guidance.

[KenKill75]

Im not as strong as Lilley.

[jazz]

wwld?

i got the bracelet. :eek2:

[KenKill75]

ehhh?

[Heath]

LMAO. What Would Lilley Do.

[KenKill75]

Lilley would pretend nothing negative was ever said. He would turn the other cheek and continue talking about whatever he was talking about. He never caved in. Very inspiring.

Me too, I have been a Wallace family fan my entire life... I pull for Kenny too. :nod:
Side note... only nine more days until Firebird! :pepper:

[KenKill75]

Yeah, I like Kenny also. He cracks me up. Unfortunately he hasnt had much success. Mike Wallace doesn't really do it for me though.

[Heath]

It's the last season for Mark too. I'd give anything for him to win the cup in his last year.

[Tzarina]

Yeah, I like Kenny also. He cracks me up. Unfortunately he hasnt had much success. Mike Wallace doesn't really do it for me though.
Mike is :shit: :ass:

Fuck the Rainbow Warrior. Fuck him good.

Who the fuck is the fucking rainbow warrior?

[Heath]

Jeff Gordon.

How'd Jeffy Boy do last week there MAGO? It looked like he was driving a... :moped:

Hey, I like Jeff Gordon, you betta chill son :pepper:

Boo to that. :down:

uh there wasn't a race last weekend :owned: ...lol..

[Jonesy]

My favorite racer is the one who wrecks. :bang2:

No, but really, I don't have any favorites, as long as it's a good race and one person doesn't comepletely dominate all season then it's pretty cool.

[Heath]

You know what I mean MAGO, you jackass.

[Tzarina]

I saw NASCAR in Mexico, that was pretty cool... :laugh:

Yeah, that was the Busch series. They never run road courses like that. Nextel cup does two road races each year.

[Tzarina]

Yeah, that was the Busch series. They never run road courses like that. Nextel cup does two road races each year.
Do they still race at Watkins Glenn? Or are both road course races in CA.?
and I know it was Busch, was still cool. I prefer road course races, circles are a bit tedious...

[KenKill75]

Yup, they still race at Watkins Glen. The other is Infineon Raceway in CA.

[Tzarina]

Yup, they still race at Watkins Glen. The other is Infineon Raceway in CA.
They should race on more road courses... but with all the new racing complexes, that wouldn't be very financially sound...

That's why I can't miss F1, road couses... :nod:

But I am watching most of every nextel race since it is Rusty's last year... :cry:

[KenKill75]

He's had a pretty good start so far.

[Tzarina]

He's had a pretty good start so far.
MUCH better than last year :nod:

[KenKill75]

He cracks me up when he gets interviewed when he's mad at somebody. :lmao:

Anyway, im off to bed. Nighty night Lisha.

Carl Edwards edges Jimmie Johnson at the very end to take the victory. Pretty wild stuff.


And Greg Biffle calls it the worst day of his life coming in 3rd. What a fuckin jerk. Way to take things for granted you unappreciative sack of shit. Maybe he needs a REAL tragedy in his life so he can see exactly the kind of thing that should be considered the worst day of one's life.

that was a very exciting finish!..i'm just pissed off at Gordons "horrible" day...that really sucks!

[KenKill75]

Yeah, well, you can never tell when you're gonna get caught up in one of those multi car accidents. At least Rat boy (Kurt Busch) didnt do well either.

[MAGO]

true, but he's still in the top 10...Gordon went from 4th to 12th!....i hope he does better next week....i'm really impressed with Kyle Busch....

[KenKill75]

They're off next week. And I hate Kyle Busch. Rat Boy Jr.

[MAGO]

They're off next week. And I hate Kyle Busch. Rat Boy Jr.

Mark Martin bitches.

Mark Martin bitches.


I appreciate your dedication to the driver you like, but, im not a bitch.

[Heath]

I beg to differ.

[MAGO]

Mark Martin bitches.

hhoneycutt just gets turned on by the Viagara logo.... :penis: ...... :neener:

[MAGO]

i played some Nascar 2005 last night and i'm now being offered contracts to race in the Bush series..soon i'll be racing for the Nextel Cup!!

[KenKill75]

I drove an 81 lap race at Atlanta a few days ago. Coming out of the final turn, we were 3 wide battling for the win. I was in the middle, slipped up the race track just enough to make contact with the guy on the outside and spun out. Spun across the finish line in 7th. Then I played it again a couple of days later and finished 2nd. I love racing a decent number of laps like that, with all the assists off so that its as realistic as possible, and with my racing wheel. Some intense, fun, white knuckle racing.

i don't think i can race that long....i seem to get nervous and my hands get sweaty...lol...i hate when they're right behind me...i end up screwing up!

[KenKill75]

Choker!

[MAGO]

Choker!

:ontome:

[KenKill75]

Do you play with the assists off Mago? By default they're on. Its so much more realistic with them off. Hard, but realistic, and with practice you can get it down. Plus, you can go faster with them off.

yeah and i think that's why i screw up...i start looking at the rear-view mirror and miss the turns and end up going into the walls...at one time i was good at this game, i'll just have to get back into it...last night was the first time i played it in a while...

[Heath]

I've liked Mark long before he drove the penis machine.

[KenKill75]

You're only 15, you couldnt have liked him all that long :wink:

[Heath]

Since I was 6. That's a pretty long time.

[KenKill75]

Who else do you like? Or is it just Martin?

[EtchedInCold]

disregard this post.

[Heath]

Pretty much just Martin. I don't know what I'll do after this year.

[KenKill75]

Im sure there's got to be somebody that you like at least a little bit.

[Heath]

Hmm...If I had to pick someone it would probably be Michael Waltrip, but I don't like him too much.

[KenKill75]

Besides, he might be out of a job next year anyway :what:

[Heath]

Yeah, I don't know who'll I'll cheer for after this year. :nono:

[MAGO]

Yeah, I don't know who'll I'll cheer for after this year. :nono:

well you can cheer for Jimmy Spencer :whistle2:

[jazz]

i'm cheering for nanner. :metal2:

:truck:

[Heath]

Lol. I'd much rather cheer for him than Jeff Gordon.

[MAGO]

Lol. I'd much rather cheer for him than Jeff Gordon.

the rainbow warrior RULES!!!!! :wookie:

[jazz]

he's the only one allowed to take shots at the drivers.

[Heath]

Rules other men?

Yes, definitely rules other men. :hump2:

[jazz]

can you imagine being one of those nascar drivers at the top of the pack racing your ass off, when you hear a horn honk and see those two motherfuckers driving right past you?

[MAGO]

Rules other men?

Yes, definitely rules other men. :hump2:

real mature... :bravo: .....Rainbow Warrior RULES!!

[KenKill75]

Since you seem to like the old timers, root for Jarrett or Rudd or somebody like that.

[Heath]

can you imagine being one of those nascar drivers at the top of the pack racing your ass off, when you hear a horn honk and see those two motherfuckers driving right past you?

LMAO. That's classic.

And I hate that goddamn Rainbow Warrior. Never liked him, and I never will.

well i played the videogame last night and when i saw those cars right on my bumper, i got nervous lost control and slammed into the wall...lol.. :ohnoes:

[jazz]

well i played the videogame last night and when i saw those cars right on my bumper, i got nervous lost control and slammed into the wall...lol.. :ohnoes:

well, you best move aside when you see nanner gaining on ya. all you'll see is heavy machine gun fire. :ar15:

[Heath]

Since you seem to like the old timers, root for Jarrett or Rudd or somebody like that.

I don't like them either though.

So sad. :shrug2:

[MAGO]

i'm not even in the Nextel circuit yet....it was the featherlite circuit...lol..

I don't like them either though.

So sad. :shrug2:


Seeing as how you seem to dislike everyone, perhaps nascar isnt your biggest concern anyway. :what:

[jazz]

if i ever watch nascar in the near future it's to watch someone get maimed. i'll be cheering for no one to make it out of that track alive. :hitler:

[Heath]

I've just always been a die-hard Mark Martin fan. Watching one man race for the majority of your life doesn't exactly make you like many other drivers.

[KenKill75]

if i ever watch nascar in the near future it's to watch someone get maimed. i'll be cheering for no one to make it out of that track alive. :hitler:


Ummm, what the hell do you think we're hoping for? safety? :eric2:

Ummm, what the hell do you think we're hoping for? safety? :eric2:

we're on the same page then. :monty:

That would be page # 666 :satanas:

Boo. Hendrick Motorsports can blow me.

[KenKill75]

Come on honeycutt, there's no need for that. We're all part of the Nascar community and should respect each other.

[MAGO]

[KenKill75]

Yes, I can say suite. Though im not sure what that has to do with anything :what:

I love you guys, just not the Hendrick Motorsports team. :nanner:

Haha

[KenKill75]

I dont just like one guy. There's the guys I like, there's the guys I dont like, and there's the guys im indifferent about. Of course everyone has a favorite, but its cool to like a few drivers.

[Heath]

I could always hop on the Carl Edwards bandwagon.

[MAGO]

I could always hop on the Carl Edwards bandwagon.

:bravo: ....finally...someone he can follow...

i like the drivers that have less of a southern twang to their voice.

that's why i haven't gotten into nascar yet. :what:

[Heath]

i like the drivers that have less of a southern twang to their voice.

I bet you'd hate Ward Burton. :haha:

[KenKill75]

and Elliot Sadler

[Heath]

I wish there was still a Skoal Bandit car. I'd definitely root for it.

[Hailo]

Yes, I can say suite. Though im not sure what that has to do with anything :what:


:up: good job :bowser:

[jazz]

it was a lame attempt at humor...you know, since nearly the majority of nascar drivers have that southern twang.

seriously though, i wouldn't know who to choose anyways. i'll base it on whoever's the least redneck-y.

[KenKill75]

I wish there was still a Skoal Bandit car. I'd definitely root for it.


They dont need to advertise for rednecks, they've already got that market covered :wink:

i would say Jimmie Johnson is the least "redneck-y"....

[Heath]

Jazz, you'd probably like Jeff Gordon, or Jimmie Johnson.

They dont need to advertise for rednecks, they've already got that market covered

Yes, indeed they do.

[jazz]

or yeah, maybe i'll base my opinion on the sponsors. :shrug2:

anything without walmart will do.

[Heath]

or yeah, maybe i'll base my opinion on the sponsors.

Man, I'm just trying to grab anything that will make me like a new driver. It's so terribly sad that Mark is going out, but at least he's having an awesome year so far.

[KenKill75]

or yeah, maybe i'll base my opinion on the sponsors. :shrug2:


In that case, you'd be liking Mark Martin with honeycutt over here, since its the Viagra car. :tard:

is there someone with a #39?

[Heath]

Hey, I might have something! Scott Riggs drives the Valvoline car, and you know who used to drive that car? MARK MARTIN!

Right now it's a toss up between him and Edwards.

[MAGO]

Man, I'm just trying to grab anything that will make me like a new driver. It's so terribly sad that Mark is going out, but at least he's having an awesome year so far.

cheer for Leffler, the 11 car who's sponsor is FedEx, it's owner is gibbs...

[KenKill75]

39 doesnt ring a bell

[jazz]

cheer for Leffler, the 11 car who's sponsor is FedEx, it's owner is gibbs...

who do you like again, mago?

[MAGO]

who do you like again, mago?

Jeff Gordon, the 24 car, who's sponsor is DuPont and Pepsi

[jazz]

Jeff Gordon, the 24 car, who's sponsor is DuPont and Pepsi

damn, i hate pepsi.

[Heath]

cheer for Leffler, the 11 car who's sponsor is FedEx, it's owner is gibbs...

Another possibility. So, unless they bring back the Skoal Bandit car, I'll either root for Riggs, Edwards, or Leffler.

[MAGO]

damn, i hate pepsi.

if there's a driver out there sponsored by vivid video, that'll be my guy.

:jaw: omg who said that?

i don't know how the drivers don't get bored. i mind for fuck's sake, turning left all the time?

i guess the adrenaline rush they get from almost dying helps them through the boredom. :what:

[Hailo]

&@#(*@&$^(^%$&#


WHAT!!!?!?!?!?!

[Heath]

Yeah, I'll definitely be going every year once I get a job and I can drive. I'd love to go see Mark race in his last year. Maybe I can save up enough cash and go to the August race.

[KenKill75]

How would you get bored driving almost 200 mph? Although Jr. did ask his guys to help keep his mind from wandering over the radio during a race once.

[Tzarina]

i don't know how the drivers don't get bored. i mind for fuck's sake, turning left all the time?

i guess the adrenaline rush they get from almost dying helps them through the boredom. :what:
There are actually alot of little details that constantly vary during a race. From accelation and variations in tire pressures, to race course debris, to other racers around you, to speed fluctuations. On short tracks, drivers downshift through the turns and there are extreme steering variations. On super speedways there is a constant awareness of always moving into and out of a curve with the most efficiency, and smallest loss of speed.
As well as pit stops...

Part of the skill is the endurance as well... as with any endurance sport, keeping the mind focused is part of the challenge... :laugh:

[Heath]

Yep. Racing at Bristol would be crazy. World's fastest half mile. :bravo:

[MAGO]

actually i think being a race car driver is stessful, especially when your car is not acting right..

[KenKill75]

My friend went to the Bristol race in August last year.

[Tzarina]

I always figure these guys gotta feel like they went a few rounds in a boxing ring after finishing a race at Bristol... brutal.

[MAGO]

well it's alot better for them now...before the way the cars were set up they would inhale all that carbon monoxide and would need oxygen after a race...

[KenKill75]

well it's alot better for them now...before the way the cars were set up they would inhale all that carbon monoxide and would need oxygen after a race...


You need oxygen after just a 10 lap video game race :what:

[Tzarina]

Can you imagine the headaches? :faint:

[KenKill75]

All this Bristol talk is getting me psyched. Im gonna have to run a long race there tonight.

[MAGO]

You need oxygen after just a 10 lap video game race :what:

lol...for some reason when i play the game, my face starts itching...it messes me up, causing me to crash into the walls...

[KenKill75]

Try the breaks Mago :wink:

[MAGO]

Try the breaks Mago :wink:


i don't really use the brakes too much...i guess that's why my tires wear out so quick....i'll let go of the accelerator going into the corner once i hit it, i'll press it again to stay low...

[KenKill75]

...and hit the wall...try the breaks... :crazy:

[MAGO]

...and hit the wall...try the breaks... :crazy:


well i'm going try a race tonight with all the laps...i want to see how long i can race...i'll probably use the Talladega racetrack.... :ohnoes:

[KenKill75]

Talladega = No breaks You chicken shit. lol. JK. And go into options and make sure all the assists are off. I still suspect they may be on.

[MAGO]

Talladega = No breaks You chicken shit. lol. JK. And go into options and make sure all the assists are off. I still suspect they may be on.

:whistle2: ...lol...i'll play it on the hardest level and see how much i suck!

[Heath]

I was always really bad at Nascar racing games.

Put me on some GT and I'll kill it though.

[MAGO]

:whistle2: ...lol...i'll play it on the hardest level and see how much i suck!


so i played a full race at Talladega, i qualified 6th, and was doing fine until lap 98 when fucking Tony Stewart made me crash and took me out of the race due to a blown fuel cell.....the game is awesome!!!!

[jazz]

lap 98? wtf?

[MAGO]

lap 98? wtf?

well i played the full race, it had 188 laps.....first time i actually did it...it was fun... :blue:

[jazz]

christ. don't you get bored by say lap 58 or something? :eek2:

[MAGO]

christ. don't you get bored by say lap 58 or something? :eek2:

nope!..and i suffer from ADD... :wookie:

[KenKill75]

I attempted a Bristol race. Took me a few tries to get far without wrecking, but then I finally had a good run going, until 50+ laps in when I got into a wreck. Im good at the track, but its the other 42 cars that cause me problems. :wink:

Then I went for Chicagoland, a great fast track. Was doing great until almost lap 30 when some asshole spun me out.

i got pissed off on one pit stop, when the guy putting in the fuel was bumped by one of the tire guys causing a delay in the pit....i lost a couple of spots but got back up to 4th until Stewart caused me to crash....i was drafting with Johnson(48) and we were making our way to the front.....

[Heath]

I've just never been a fan of Nascar games for some reason.

[jazz]

nope!..and i suffer from ADD... :wookie:
how long are the laps?

[MAGO]

how long are the laps?

well each track is different....my best lap time yesterday was 49.127 seconds...Talladega is a pretty long track....if you log on to the Nascar web-site you'll be able to see each track....

well, i meant your average lap.

[MAGO]

well, i meant your average lap.

i don't really know in mileage, but my average time was about 49 seconds for each lap....

[Heath]

Mileage is like 2.2 miles per lap.

[jazz]

i don't really know in mileage, but my average time was about 49 seconds for each lap....

yeah, but you mentioned racing in a 180+ lap race. how long do the races last then? 2 hours? :what:

[MAGO]

if not more...but it didn't feel like it....i started playing at about 6:20 and at lap 98 when Stewart spun my out is was about 7:45.....

[jazz]

um, i think i'll pass. :what:

hey, at least it keeps you off the streets. :nod:

[Heath]

The Gran Turismo games have races that can last a lot longer than that.

are you the type that plays 5 minute quarters on NFL games?

[MAGO]

are you the type that plays 5 minute quarters on NFL games?

i play 10 minute quarters....i own in time of possession!!! :guitar:

[EtchedInCold]

i play 10 because otherwise the scores end up 83-10... i like it to be realistic.

So last night, I went for it. Talladega, full 500 mile race, on the hardest difficulty. Was doing really well, drafted with a couple of different cars at different points to push us far ahead of the pack. Cycled through a couple of pit stops, all is well. Then some boner causes a caution on lap 115. I go in to pit since it was 30 laps since my last stop, but no one else goes in, which is bullcrap, that would never happen. But anyway, when the race went back to green I was back in 24th. First lap after that I end up getting spun as I try to work my way back up. No biggy. Go back in the pits under caution, restart in 24th again. Back to green, I start workin my way up. For some reason everybody checks up, I go flyin by them on the high side, but then get to a pack that gets in the way and I dont have time to brake. So I rear end a guy and my front end is all fucked, but we stay under green. Well, problem is now im not up to speed with the damage. Since nobody pitted on the other cautions, they start pitting soon. Before you know it im back in the lead, but they're gonna catch up since my car is slower with the damage. So I get this dumbass, idiotic idea in my head to wait til no one is around me and spin myself out to cause a caution so I can pit without losing track position. Needless to say I fucked myself and wrecked my car on lap 142 out of 188. 2 hours down the shitter. :shame:

[jazz]

man, that game's a major timesuck. how long is an average race in real life?

[KenKill75]

In real life, depending on how many cautions there are, its usually between 3 and 4 hours

[jazz]

:jaw:

damn. at least it keeps those people off the street or something. :hitler:

[KenKill75]

I told my brother last night about my race and he said "who do you think you are, Jr.?" Because Jr. did that once last year. Spun out on purpose to get a caution. Of course he got in trouble since he admitted it.

[MAGO]

i got pissed off last night...i tried another race and as i decided to go in an pit i lost control of the car and crashed in the wall and wrecked my car!...on lap 57!!!!!

[jazz]

what's the least amount of laps you could do?

[MAGO]

what's the least amount of laps you could do?

5% of the race....so it depends on the racetrack...

[KenKill75]

You can do like 10 laps Danny

[jazz]

lap it up.

:cunni:

[jazz]

oh yeah, what's a caution?

[KenKill75]

Man, lap 142, im still pissed, especially since it was just a bonehead decision that I made

[MAGO]

:werd:

[KenKill75]

A caution is if there is an accident, or debris on the track, the cars stop racing and drive slowly in single file while the track is cleaned up.

i wonder if i pit, and a caution happens if i'll get screwed??...has that happened to you Ken??..

[jazz]

how are they alerted to resume the race?

[KenKill75]

i wonder if i pit, and a caution happens if i'll get screwed??...has that happened to you Ken??..


In my version of the game, im not sure. Its kind of confusing and doesnt seem to work exactly like it should. I guess it depends on whether or not you get lapped while in the pits.

[KenKill75]

Danny, a pace car drives in front of them during a caution, when the lights on the pace car go off it means they are on the last caution lap, then the pace car pulls into the pit, and the green flag waves.

[jazz]

interesting. i'm gonna have to read up on the rules.

[MAGO]

interesting. i'm gonna have to read up on the rules.

just buy "Nascar For Dummies" :whistle2:

[KenKill75]

The rule book is not published. Seriously, Nascar is strange, they dont want anyone to actually be able to see all the rules. They are really tyrannical. :hitler::eric2:

i can't read. :cry:

More like every week. :tard:

[KenKill75]

At one point, I was drafting with Waltrip. He was first and I was pushing him so that we had pulled away from the pack. We stayed like that for a while. Then in one turn, I guess I got him loose, and all of the sudden he just lost control, his rear slid out from under him and he slid up into the wall. Luckily I didnt panic and didnt make any contact with him or lose control myself.

[MAGO]

same here...i was drafting with DJ(88) until i went to pit and lost control and slammed into the wall!...lol..

[dionysusolympus]

So did you hear, MAGO...Dale is going to drive the truck! :what:

[KenKill75]

Oh yeah, also, did you hear that Nascar reversed the suspension of Jimmie Johnson's crew chief? Im glad, but im shocked cause they never reverse anything.

[jazz]

mago's a colombian redneck. :eek3:

well they made it very clear that it wasn't unanimous...

Oh, that I didnt know. But still, they reversed it.

i love the sport, but i really don't like the way the officials sometimes handle things...

I agree... they too often seem to be overly motivated by the cash... :dump:

[KenKill75]

Great fucking race yesterday. Bristol rocks hard. Good to see Kurt "Rat boy" Busch in a brutal head on collision. Some other cool wrecks. And it was awesome to see my boy Kyle Petty with an 8th place finish! :pepper:

i was so happy when i saw that 97 car get destroyed!....tough luck for Gordon losing that tire with 7 laps to go...went from 4th to 15th...

mago told me that he lost a bet and he had to shave his pubes and replace his :brows: with them. :what:

[KenKill75]

Actually, I won a bet. My brother bet me at the beginning of the season that Petty wouldnt get a top 15 all year. 8th place baby!!! Cha-ching. Ok, so its only $10, but im glad anyway. :neener:

the day T.Labonte and Petty finish a race 1 and 2, i'll stop watching NASCAR...i don't think i could handle the excitement :stan:

[KenKill75]

Terry Labonte won a race toward the end of the year before last. Not all that long ago. Petty hasnt won since the 90's. Big difference. This was his best finish since '99.

what's the story with Terry?..i thought he retired?..or is he racing part time?

[Tzarina]

I was exhausted and slept through bristol yesterday :crying: I know Rusty was qualified third... someone give me the finish order? or let me know who won? I tried to watch sports center and find out, but I never saw, oddly enough :hmm:

[KenKill75]

Rusty was running great, actually led the most laps, but those were all in the first half. Then he got screwed with a tire going down and then got a penalty for going into the pits under a red flag. Harvick won. Then Sadler, Stewart, Jr., Jarrett, Johnson, Kvapil, Petty, Biffle, and I think Riggs rounded out the top 10.

[Tzarina]

Kvapil.
Thank you, that sucks... :dammit: And who the hell is that? :nanner9:

[KenKill75]

Travis Kvapil (Pronounced Kwapil). Drives the 77 Kodak car that Brendan Gaughn drove last year.

Lisha, I know you're into drag racing, did you hear about this?http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news;_ylc=X3oDMTBpdHM4N24zBF9TAzk1ODYyNzYwBHNlYwN0 aA--?slug=ap-racewaydeaths&prov=ap&type=lgns

[Tzarina]

Yes, I have known about that since it happened, the only other forum I post on is a drag racing forum, so I hear these things pretty quick. My father knew Shelly and she was an extrordinary woman, and I grew up with Brian... this is very saddening...
But anytime one is going these speeds, the danger is just a fact... :sad:

This is a more concise story...

Martinsville this week. I'm calling Rusty Wallace to win it.

i'm going with Stewart(eventhough i hate him!)

[KenKill75]

I dont think Stewart will win. Rusty might, and id like to see him win. Of course Johnson always has a good shot, as does Gordon. Anything can happen at that track though.

true...one crash can change the race completely....

[jazz]

that was deeeeeeeeeep, MAGO. :what:

take a breather.

or a dump, whatever. :wink:

[KenKill75]

Or breathe deeply while you dump :barf:

that required a lot of thinking, but like always, i'm come through in the clutch :nerd3:

[Heath]

MAGO is a clutch performer.

[MAGO]

HA!..the rainbow warrior back to victory lane!...i love the way he spun Busch out!!!...HAHAHA! :nanner2:

[KenKill75]

Yeah, I felt Busch came down on him anyway when he had his nose in there, but it was cool cause Busch was the one who got fucked. I cant believe Gordon came back from 3 laps down to win. That was crazy. Good race overall. Always is at Martinsville.
