Nascar 2006

[Sideout]

It's that time again...this season we can actually start from the beginning...ya know, before any races have already been run :OOPS:

ESPN Fantasy Racing Frontpage (http://games.espn.go.com/stockcar/frontpage)

Group: (take a guess, Einstein) bressler.org
PW: bushwhacked

It's free, it's simple - you have 100 points to spend each week and you pick your five drivers based on their point value and see how you do. (once you pick your 5 you can leave it alone and it will keep your same drivers each week...for you lazy-asses out there)

The scoring for the season is a little different this year - it's divided into 2 parts, the regular season (26 races) and the chase (10 races). So basically it will all reset for the chase and you're screwed like last year because all the guys that got you there will be too high priced for you to keep in the chase. :nolike:

ALSO!
Please feel free to use this thread to discuss how bad Junior will continue to suck this year or how much Gordon sucks all the time...ya know, the usual
;)

[Ojive]

Well I've been running my sim everyday or so and that keeps me centered!
Now about JG----I have a feeling they JG/JJ are going to be pretty fast. Of course we won't really know fully until the twins, and even that could be a sandbag job. I'm hoping those Fords will be fast but not overly fast. They have done some testing at Vegas and Cali, and Dodge will run the intreped or at least Penske South will. I'm ready to drop tha hamma:nuts:

And Dale Jr. He'll have to be better since Martin Truexis over there now.

[Freak]

I'll split half my Bressler Bucks (as of the end of the season) between Cooda and SO if JR wins more than 3 races and JG isn't in the top 5.:cool:

[Sideout]

So I'm trying to figure this out Freak...you're saying that you think Junior will still suck, but rainbow brite will make the top 5? :Poke:

[Freak]

Your are correct sir. Jr still sucks and Gordon will be in the top 5. (I don't necessarily like Gordon, but I don't dislike him either. He is a decent driver imo though.)

[Spotter]

Thanks Sideout, I'm in. Don't forget to get Kim in on it from the start!

[Sideout]

Roger that :thumbsup:

I'm bummin' - after that chase last year, there's no way I can afford my 4-Roush crew this time around :p

[Freak]

I think I am going to pick Robby Gordon, Morgan Shepard, Derrick Cope, Kerry Earnhart, and Kirk Shelmerwhatsit every race.:cool:

[Ojive]

I am going to pick Robby Gordon, Morgan Shepard, Derrick Cope, Kerry Earnhart, and Kirk Shelmerwhatsit every race:laugh:

[Sideout]

I think I am going to pick Robby Gordon, Morgan Shepard, Derrick Cope, Kerry Earnhart, and Kirk Shelmerwhatsit every race.:cool:

Don't do it Freak...that leaves you no room for Hermie Sadler :o

(implied translation: you'll still do better than Barb :Poke: )

[Ojive]

Hermie Sadler
ouch i forgot about him:laugh:
But you can use Lepage as a Hermie back up!

[Spotter]

(implied translation: you'll still do better than Barb :Poke: )
*Rimshot* Bah dum bum!

I'm bummin' - after that chase last year, there's no way I can afford my 4-Roush crew this time around :p
Whatever :rolleyes: I am still stinging from the whoopin I took in the last damn race of the year! Man, it still smarts :cry:

[Ojive]

Well I'm ready to see the race on Saturday night, It will be interesting how everyone drafts and if anyone has the power to completely dominate? I hope those Fords don't over power and have a rule change before the 500.

[Spotter]

Come on folks. As of now it is only Eagle, Sideout and myself.
The first race is Sunday!

[Bucko]

I'm waitin until next year and putting my money on the Japs.

[Kim Possible]

Hey - Does anyone have the results yet?
A few of my guys did pretty good.
I was bummed by the jokers that got into Bobby - he had a great car and could have finished in the top 10.
Ken Scrader rocked as did Elliot!
I don't know how to post them, so whoever has the time on a busy Monday...
Thanks!

[Spotter]

Hey - Does anyone have the results yet?
I love it when you beat your husband! :Poke:

Now, only if I would have kept JJ instead of dropping him after the suspension of his Chief. Never give up on your favorite driver, especially if Newman can't stand him.

[Kim Possible]

He doesn't seem to mind either. :love:

How many of you think that the 48 car should have been disqualified? I'm not sure what to think, but it's irritating that they could win when there was obvious cheating.

[Ojive]

How many of you think that the 48 car should have been disqualified?
Good question, but when you work for HMS you can bet that having officials in your hip pocket is key to winning. What I'm saying is history has shown that running shine wasn't a honest job, and I fully expect every team to push the limits of the rules to their advantage. But the 48 team has been called down a lot in the last 2 years over rules. If NASCAR DQ'ed the whole team it not only would excite the sponsor(s) but also the owner(s) and tell others in the garage not to muck about so close to that fine line. The real point should have been why wasn't the 20 team jammed up over the agressive driving even after the 20 made such a stink over the so-called slam drafting and possible loss of life if it continued??? I'm hoping to see a good run at California this weekend.

[Dave]

I love how Stewart was preaching in interviews how "someone was gonna die out there" and then he pretty much commits attempted murder on Kenseth by forcing him into the infield......when Kenseth swung around and skidded backwards onto the track...I dont know how he threaded himself thru the oncoming cars...that would have benn one hell of a head on collision.

[Sideout]

I dunno - something just wasn't right about that Stewart-Kenseth get-together...I think there's more too it than just Tony getting mad, his car moved over a full three lanes worth and it just looked weird. I'm not saying he wasn't doing a little payback driving out there, but if you want to wreck a guy, you can do it without sliding your car around that much...Kyle Busch does it all the time :cool:

[Ojive]

I'm all for racing in any form, but if you review past champions in the 500 they always have some juice at the beginning of the season. But being past champ does have some responsibility too and being a good driver is important, that driver doesn't own that car, the sponsor does because of the funding they give. the 20 is a good driver and has a lot of talent, but he needs to remember about his anger and think ahead and keep his trap shut so when he does a move like we saw several times last weekend he can give the dumb airman look after the race during the interview----dumb airman is this:shrug: and then walk away:laugh:

[Ojive]

Kyle Busch
See another talentewd guy who uses the :shrug: after the race. He'll get his at like Bristol then he'll chill out.

[Dave]

don't get me wrong...that crap makes it exciting but lets not get to bad and create soap operas or Nascar will be compared to the WWE

...the thing is, he whined on tv saying someone was gonna die and then he jets out 5 car lengths like SO said to get Kenseth.....

[Ojive]

Dave,
You are right, see even a champ knows his boundry. Look at Dale Earnhart a thick headed cat but he would mess with someone in the right places later on in his career. Tony has no excuses here, he ain't having to race into each race everyweek. Acting like Robby Gordon ain't cool in his position. I can fence sit on a number of subjects, but if he's gonna open his fat trap then he'd damn well better play the part. You know it's a racing thang.....meh:Z:

[evereno]

I'm hoping to see a good run at California this weekend.


Could not agree more on both points. Actually, you name a team that does not try to push the limit to get the best response from their car. Further, NASCAR made sure that the car was with legal perimeters. The only reason they went after the crew chief is because of his aggressive nature and willingness to push the limits.

I hate to say it, well no I don't, but I want a crew chief who is willing to try anything give me the best chance of winning. Do I want him to break the rules? No, but I do want him to push it, if it gives me a better chance to win.

On the Stewart matter, I just have no respect for a man who can not walk the talk!!!

[Spotter]

Chad Knaus wasn't "pushing the limits." It was as blatant an attempt at cheating as you could find. NASCAR told him (and the Hendrick team) not to even think about the appeal. They were just lucky to even get the car back.

[Ojive]

One thing I have a hard time understanding is why would a owner want his team to be put in the spot light over rules violations when they really don't need to violate anything due to the great resources they have? I mean back in the day when Harry Hyde used to pull things out of his hat for Tim Richmond, it was truly making a situation a little better. If you ever read about Junior Johnson you'll get a clear understanding of a driver and team owner, but that was many years ago and things are a lot different nowdays.

Any of ya'll been watching the truck seriers? How about Mark Martin, he's been spanking some butts over there. If he keeps this up he's gonna be the driver/team to beat every week. Sideout should be pretty happy with his results:thumbsup:

[Spotter]

Mark Martin is only going to race 7 truck series races. So far he has won both of his starts.

[Ojive]

Well one good thing about next year is when he's racing he'll only have to complete a little half the laps he'd normally run in cup.

[Sideout]

Yeah - I'd be killin' all of you if this were fantasy Craftsman Truck Series :laugh:

I was feeling pretting good with Biffle until he lost a cylinder. Good to see Matt hold on to win...even with the usual "Hendrick Caution" :rolleyes:

[Ojive]

Yeah - I'd be killin' all of you if this were fantasy Craftsman Truck Series

I don't know about that. I mean with Musgrave and Bodine and of course Martin I feel I'd be in their for a tight second. With cup as of late it is hard to really know who is doing what because just when you think the 16/20 are going to pull something off they smoke check their engines. I'm glad to see the Fusion on top. Hendrick caution:laugh: yeah I think either the 24 or 48 have some type of debris in their car for those special times when they need a caution, and I wouldn't put it past them either, just ask Chad :laugh:

[Sideout]

[Dave]

Hey come on now - nice point total for the new guy.....too bad I missed the first week

You can still get into the points. Everyone has a bad week and that's all that it takes.

What a load of crap...AGAIN! :nolike:

I used to think the green, white, checkered was a good idea, but this hendrick caution crap is just getting ridiculous. "wait...it's almost over and there's no way little jimmy can catch up...we'd better do something" :loser:

Sadly, it'll take more than that and a cheating crew chief to win the championship...and he won't make it again this year.

And evereno, it'll take more than that for you to win too ;) :Poke:

[Ojive]

S/O yes I agree with the 48 scam. Next time you go to a race an you see that someone other than your driver/roush ain't gonna make it throw a bunch of debris on the track with say like 3 to go That'll learn'm over at HMS.

[Sideout]

Hey...I'm not Chad :laugh:

No big deal, I wasn't here yesterday, so I just had to get out my usual Monday morning, "what a crock..." rant :cool:

[Ojive]

Hey...I'm not Chad
Yeah but Jimmie's new chief should be called Junior Because he's learned those HMS moves quiet well. I like JJ all right but lately if he ain't wrecking somebody, then he's being a titty baby like his owner JG is and it really takes the fun out of things! I mean when Johnson was in ASA he wasn't all that I saw him wreck and tear shit up plenty of times back in the day.


And speaking of Back in the Day: What does everyone think of that show? I like watching those older races it showed some good stuff given all things.:thumbsup:

[Sideout]

And speaking of Back in the Day: What does everyone think of that show? I like watching those older races it showed some good stuff given all things.:thumbsup:

I think it's pretty cool - I think it would be even cooler if they took out all the parts with Jr. being a dork in between footage rolls, but I guess you can't have everything. I was a big fan of the King when I was just a little dude, so it's neat to see some race video since we pretty much listened to it on the radio then :thumbsup:

[Ojive]

S/O I used to work nights some years ago and in the morning at 10 am on speed they used to have races like back in the day with out Junior being a dork,:rolleyes: but it was pretty much like that. And like you said considering if the races were on the radio then you'd hear it that way. But seeing those real stock cars with locked doors and a pretty hot motor was cool. If you read check out Brave in Life the story of Junior Johnson. The inside cover shows Junior coming out the back window of his car while it's flipping. Junior was a big corn fed feller. Yeah I'd have to say I'd like the see NASCAR back in the day with some of the technology we have now. Seeing Harry Hyde and the likes of other crew chiefs cheating would be wild.

[Dave]

yeah - did that

just tried again though and it let me update

I was painting all day and missed the race - I keep forgetting to dvr it

[Spotter]

Did anyone see the horrible fatal Indy car crash at Miami Homestead? It was aweful.

[Dave]

I saw it on Speed last night - a replay of it....pretty hard to watch

Thats what could have happened to Kenseth a few weeks back when Stewart sun him out - it was amazing nobody hit him head on although they arent going at the same speeds as the Indy cars - that car was flying when it hit him.

[Spotter]

that car was flying when it hit him.
176 MPH, according to the black box telemetry. Which means he had indeed slowed down almost 40 MPH at that point.

[Ojive]

Here is a shot of Jeffy doing what he does best to Martin Truex Jr.

[Dave]

Jr and Stewart aren't bad at it either

How many of you are so sick of the Waltrips...man, every damn commercial while the race is on has on of them or both of them in it.....Michael always finishes 30th or worse so I guess he needs to make his money elsewhere

[Ojive]

Dave good point here, well kinda IMO. I like DW for his abilities, but he was a 3 time champ (AKA Jaws) He learned to play things in his favor and that is what made him a legend, Mikey is a cool cat it would be better if he'd be up front more and put his money where is mouth is. I do get tired of the whole Larry mac, Hammond, DW drill. Each of them collectively have the skills and are good at what they once did, but sometimes it is TMI, I live racing and I learn from them and I use something’s they mention on my Sim like shock configurations and tire pressures. Sometimes it works and other times it just sucks. I like Benny Parsons and his brother Phil, Wally Dallenback is ok. But on this rant what I really dislike is diversity to the sport in the media with a skirt that has no clue of the sport. Give me a lady who knows about it and I'm good to go.
BTW I listen to the races most of the time because I can get a lot done and I can catch the highlights on speed in one hour.
Yeah ya:thumbsup:

[Dave]

Unfortunately we dont get radio broadcasts of Nascar up here - next year they'll be on Sirius and I'll be able to catch the action while on the road

[Eagle3]

How many of you are so sick of the Waltrips...

If I hear boogity boogity boogity again I'm gonna shit a NAPA hat. :nolike:

[Ojive]

NAPA hat
I can get you one free. But DW doesn't do NAPA you need an Aarons or Toyota hat :laugh: But yeah he need another line. And how about "pull those seat belts tight one more time" Larry Mac :Poke:

Unfortunately we dont get radio broadcasts of Nascar up here
So MRN/PRN don't even have a AM station guide? In my area they don't air the race so I have to listen to stations well over a hundred miles away (we have 6 stations including AM) so I'm set

[Sideout]

This list of MRN stations might help you out, Dave. :thumbsup:

http://www.racingone.com/mrn/stationaffiliates.asp

[Dave]

Thanks SO!!

There are several in CT - I know I scanned AM for them a few weeks back and got nothing

[Ojive]

I find country stations support racing and besides Dover I haven't found a rock station that does.

[Dave]

Ole Gordon got slapped with a $10k fine for his little push - One more Pepsi commercial should offset that 10 fold

[Sideout]

From the slightly-less-than-serious power rankings on nascar.com...

"A lot of you guys have already e-mailed and ridiculed Jeff Gordon for keeping his helmet and HANS device on when he shoved Kenseth. That is because that wasn't Jeff Gordon who shoved Kenseth. It was a stunt double. Gordon was already back in the motorcoach sipping a latte."

:laugh: :laugh:

http://www.nascar.com/2006/news/features/power_rankings/03/28/martinsville/index.html

[Ojive]

that wasn't Jeff Gordon
It was Jimmy Johnson:laugh:

[Ojive]

Speaking of Jimmy Johnson he totalled his car yesterday at LMS during tiring testing, seems he blew a right rear tire and hit the wall. It is said the speeds will go up dramically because Bobby Labonte was not far off the track record set last year by Elliot Sadler in qualifying.

Spotter what ya think of ole Kinser going for a ride again? You know it goes to show how strong and those cars are and how they are able to absorb the energy of that type of wreck. End over end might not have looke the way....
Glad you had fun at TMS:worthy:

So any comments on the Kurt Busch deal with Biffle? anyone?

I say kick his ass for not checking up!

[Bucko]

I'm glad somebody got to watch it.

I was enjoying it in HD and right at the last 10 laps my wife walks right in front of the TV and starts chatting about our taxes. And guys...you know you can't look at the tv or you're dead. You better make eye contact the whole time. So all I could hear was the race announcers and my wife blocking a 50" TV going blah..blah..blah.."sure honey" blah..blah blah..."ok"...blah blah blah "that sounds great"..blah..blah ...blah. :nolike:

[Sideout]

That really sucked that Biffle got taken out like that - his car was flyin' - he was putting people a lap down after only 20-something laps. I still think that Johnson has things fixed, or he's just the luckiest idiot I've ever seen - After watching guys like Martin fight all day at martinsville to get back just one lap, I swear Johnson could be 8 laps down and he'd somehow get the lucky dog eight times and end up there at the end :rolleyes:
Good to see Kenseth come from the back to the front, but I still think Biffle had the car to beat until it got "adjusted" :nolike:

It should also be mentioned that my lovely and talented wife took the top spot this week ;)

Get a dvr Bucko - hit pause and continue when she is done with the bs

[Ojive]

Sideout have you seen that commercial of Carl Edwards and a bunch of people want him to do a backflip? So MM calls on his Nextel hey Fanando ready? and this cat comes flipping acros the way and goes behind MM car. And Mark comes out all the sudden. Carl mumbles under his breath old man! Pretty good one. And about Jimmy boy, Hey rick writes the checks to the officials what are ya gonna do? I was glad to see Kasey win yesterday, I will say that if Mayfield don't figure something out soon he'll be looking for a ride in the Truck series. And Scott Riggs did well considering Matt took a bite out of his bumper.

[Dave]

I was doing great in my fantasy leagues yesterday till Yeley hit the wall - that killed me cause I had him and Hamlin.....and what the hell happened to Gordon - I thought he owned Texas Speedway?

[Spotter]

I was doing great in my fantasy leagues yesterday till Yeley hit the wall - that killed me cause I had him and Hamlin.....and what the hell happened to Gordon - I thought he owned Texas Speedway?Nope, Texas is one of only four tracks he has not had a win at. He has never fared well there.

[Dave]

I thought he had 6 or 7 top 10's - if I remember from my research.....anyway - he sucked ass.

Did you see Biffle's girlfriend having her say about the wreck with Kurt's woman

[Ojive]

Yes I picked Jeffy too thinking he'd fair well----->not! And yeah I saw the lil cat fight of words. Like they can really change anything! The Busch boys need to be back when Dale Senior was in his prime. Then those too could see what it was really like to trade paint. These days drivers are told don't be tearing shit up. I mean we are talking about a millon dollar asset so a driver should be somewhat smart. I mean besides Kurt winning the cup I don't see Jeff Gordon, DJ,Kenseth,Smoke or Bobby do that stuff very often to other drivers. We know it's going to happen but every week----BS but it makes for great whine material and looks good on TV:thumbsup: I'd like to see Kurt drive on those figure 8 races with a school bus I know he'd like that!:laugh:

[Dave]

.....meanwhile, Smoke is quietly ceeping back up the standings

[Spotter]

Damn ESPN site still does not have the results up from Saturday night. :fbomb:

I should have just kept the 5 I started with since with the screwy points inflation they do on this fantasy game, you'll never get them back again.

I have gotten that I run the guys whom I think will do well so I echo the Biffle drill, I mean drivers who have been fairly competitive this year really stink.
Reno must have picked the 5 drivers that fell out during the race because so far he's da man to beat or catch this season. :laugh: Speaking of Biffle I'd like to go on a dune buggy ride with him I bet that would be one heck of a experience.

[Spotter]

Yep, I've been "Biffled" a few times this season.

Everyone will have to reset their line-ups for next week.

[Sideout]

Not this year - there are only 2 segmants - the regular season (26) and the chase (10).

I've still got time...bwuhahahahaha :cool:



(Maybe I should have just let you guys try to reset...hmmm)

[Dave]

I reset mine every week

[Ojive]

I watched all 3 races last weekend I enjoyed them all! Anyone make it out to Dover? I had planned on going to the truck race but time slipped away and I lost interest. I'll have to say luck was on the 48 team this weekend.

[Sideout]

If it wasn't for luck, JJ would finish most races 2 laps down :bore: :hehe:

12 days til I head for MIS, should be fun as usual :cool:

[Ojive]

12 days til I head for MIS
Sideout will you be attending the trackside show? If so hold up a sign that gives good rep to Bresslers....:thumbsup: I did watch back in the day last night and it was 1972 at MIS my boy David Pearson sealed the deal! Although before Jr. did that show I used to watch it in the mornings on Speed and it was better because it showed more of the race. But hey it's back in the day:!!!:

[Spotter]

I am heading for TMS this weekend for the Indy car show!

IRL is coming to Richmond the following week so maybe I could get down there because they are having a USAC race on thursday. I think seeing those cars live would be pretty cool.

[Sideout]

Sideout will you be attending the trackside show? If so hold up a sign that gives good rep to Bresslers....

Nah...we'll be taking the kids and some friends to see practice on Friday morning. Then my dad and I will head back for the race on Sunday. We don't need to camp out, we only live 30 minutes away :cool:

Spotter - you gonna hit the truck race at TMS? That's some fun racing to watch :)

[Ojive]

My top 5 in the truck race at Texas would be and no specific finishing order.
1. Mark Martin
2. Kyle Busch
3. Todd Bodine
4. Ron Hornaday
5. Rick Crawford

But if Mark and Kyle don't go because of Pocono then I'll have to go with
Ted Musgrave
David Reutimann

[Spotter]

Spotter - you gonna hit the truck race at TMS? That's some fun racing to watch :)Unfortunately, no. I have to work to late. But you are right. The action is great, especially at that track.
The last truck reace I got to see there was from the pit lane. I was actually in David Starr's pit for most of the race. Listening to the scanner, standing at the back of the pit, it was very exciting. Especially when he hit the wall and had to come in several times to fix the truck. Lots of action and I felt like I was involved!

[Ojive]

Lots of action and I felt like I was involved
So how was the mood of the crew after the accident with the wall? I mean he most likely wasn't fighting for the win?

[Spotter]

The crew was fairly well silent, except for communications about repairing the truck.

The crew chief was doing triple duty. He had to examine the damage, and decide what to do. He also had to listen to the spotter, so to get the truck back out after repairs, trying to keep from going a lap down. And he had to baby sit his irate driver, trying to keep his head cool and keep him focused.

The driver just wanted to argue about who was to blame and yell at everyone for working too slow.

After the wreck, there was no way they were gonna stay near the top of the leader board.

It was still a fun weekend :thumbsup: Just a really odd finishing order - not the way things would have been if it had gone the whole way. Best part was listening to Carl Edwards debate that last pitstop - the crew knew the rain was coming, just not when...and I still don't know if they could have stayed out and outrun Kahne on old tires...
Kind of a bummer for guys like Mark and Bobby who were making their way toward the top 10, then got stuck way back after the pitstop - what can you do :shrug:

[Spotter]

...Just a really odd finishing order - not the way things would have been if it had gone the whole way.
I rather liked the finishing order. I had 1st, 3rd,4th,6th and 40th!

yeah...you did :laugh: :Poke:

Don't ask me why the totals are so messed up - you'll have to look on your own page to see your real points total. :shrug:

[Spotter]

The entire site has been a mess for a long time. Last week the totals didn't come out until Wednesday.

[Spotter]

Quite the shake up this week. Congrats to ojive for the largest all time Bresslers NASCAR score of all time!

Not a bad race overall but one heck of a finish with the 9 going nose first into the wall:thumbdown He was an early contender but faded out pretty fast. Was Gordon driving the 48 yesterday? What a scam I tell ya:rolleyes:

I wonder if the ol silver fox can stay in the lead? What about Kurt Busch yesterday? Had a good car but I think it was NASCAR's way of making a point with a former champ and letting the 2 team know who runs the show at every track:!!!:

Man chevy has taken over the Chase this year. Good on ya Sideout:thumbsup:

[Sideout]

I'm not worried - there's only one chevy-helping pretend "race" in the ten races.* Personally I think Kenseth is going to run away with it, but don't count that 6 out yet. :cool:

I'm actually leaning more to Kenseth, I'd like to see Mark finally get the illusive one. But I think Denny Hamlin could run well. Jimmy not sure yet on him he's been slacking lately. And I'd like to see Jeff Burton and Happy do well. But I really want to see the Blue oval with the cup

[Spotter]

I am guessing that Kim, Evereno and E3 forgot to reset their line-ups. That's ok. I woud have kicked their butts anyway!

Yeah Vickers did win so I half ass did well:OOPS:

[Sideout]

Best finish ever!:worthy: :laugh: :thumbsup:

Totally! :cool:

That's what Johnson gets for waiting too long to make a move and trying to force it and that's what Junior gets for trying to block him instead of keeping his high line going. I was almost as sad as when jeffy got taken out...almost :D

Johnson gotta lot of nerve sniving like Jeffy about fair play. 10 to go and that happened well I believe a different story. What about that truck race that new driver for MB2 won:thumbsup:

[Spotter]

In that situation, Vickers did nothing wrong. You have to keep the steering wheel straight forward and you have to keep the gas flat to the floor. He did both.

[Sideout]

Yup - he was trying to follow his teammate, but johnson made a move that was so far from smooth that there just wasn't a way for him to stay in the draft.

but man don't say that to the whining bud crowd :cry: :cry: :laugh:

Actually, I wouldn't have even cared if Jr. won, he had the best car - I wanted johnson to drop down and have everyone else stay up and watch him drop about 18 places :cool:

[Sideout]

What about that truck race that new driver for MB2 won:thumbsup:

I'm not sure what to do with that situation...I'll still support Mark...even though he'll be driving a...*gag*...chevy. But what I'm most bummed about is I was really looking forward to him running that Roush truck full time next year. Oh well. :shrug:

[Dave]

Right before Johnson made the move I wouldn't have been surprised if he (and Kahne) just stayed in line and finished in the top 5 for some decent cup points...Vickers and Busch would have been more likely to make a move...but God knows Johnson can't settle for 2nd place.

Those plate races are nuts...Kahne moved up from 15th to 1st in a few laps by taking the inside and drafting off Stewart.

[Sideout]

man I'm just sick of the whining...wah..we have to change the chase format...wah... News flash: it doens't matter what you change, it's not going to help johnson win a title - oh, and just because jeffy or junior isn't winning, doesn't mean it's 'broken'

what's wrong with 6 races to go - top 5 guys separated by 51 points? That's awesome :cool:

I watched wind tunnel sunday night and Mark said he wanted to run a Ford but Roush didn't deliver. So with the schedule and it being full time it fit Mark's schedule and also for competition sake. It will be interesting if he'll even have any success with a new crew? You know yet to be seen.
About the chase NASCAR needs to loose several of those 1.5 mile tracks that hold similiarity. and add a road course, and maybe even a dirt track race. Tha would be really awesome. (I know the dirt track is a pipe dream) :thumbsup:

[Sideout]

I believe...that if it has 4 tires and a steering wheel...Mark Martin can race it. :cool:

[Ojive]

I know he can race but can he race with a so-so team? I mean nemechek hasn't done very well at all. Even though he has hendrick motors he ain't really been the front role Joe this year. I hope he ain't jamming himself up by running a limited schedule.
Speaking of driving I'm waiting to see what Montoya does next year, did real good in the ARCA race. I ;lived him very much when he ran CART and won the championship.

Well put, SO.

And poor Vickers has earned a bad handle for the rest of his career. One he does not deserve.

[Ojive]

Brian wasn't in the chase and was leaving the team butr a win is a win anyone who ever watched the late Dale Earnhart could see that. I guess the fine line between being in the chase and having a win. You know my experience watching Vickers has been he's a stand up kid unlike his junior team mate.....I think looking at the footage that the 48 was out of shape when he pulled out and it was just the deal. Last lap shootout, and even though the 8 wasn't happy with the finish he clearly said that Vickers wasn't always wrecking everyone.....Hint-Hint #48 so basically it sucks to be Brian Vickers right now.

[Dave]

Johnson's anger toward his teammate and friend had not subsided Tuesday, two days after Vickers wrecked Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap at Talladega Superspeedway.

Johnson spent the bulk of his weekly conference call avoiding even mentioning Vickers' name, finally unloading on his teammate about 20 minutes in when asked if the two had spoken.

"I got a message from him, but that was about it," Johnson said. "I don't have much to say or much to talk to him about."

Asked if their relationship had changed, Johnson said he wasn't sure because it had only been two days since the incident. But it didn't sound as if Johnson has any plans to forgive Vickers any time soon.

"I have a hard time feeling he was really sorry for what he's done," Johnson said. "At the same time I know it wasn't intentional so I just kind of go on, (but) if I look at the interviews and the quotes and the message that Brian left me, I wouldn't take it as an apology by any stretch of the imagination. That's where I am at."

Earnhardt was leading on the final lap of Sunday's race at Talladega, with the two Hendrick Motorsports drivers running second and third. Johnson attempted to pass Earnhardt heading into the third turn and Vickers followed to help push him into the lead.

But Vickers hooked the back of Johnson instead of pushing him, and the contact sent Johnson spinning into Earnhardt. Vickers darted by both of them for his first Nextel Cup victory.

The outcome hurt both Johnson and Earnhardt in the Chase for the championship standings. Vickers, who is not eligible for the Nextel Cup title, is leaving Hendrick at the end of the season to drive for Toyota next year.

His impending departure has gotten him locked out of Hendrick team meetings, and racing incidents with teammate Jeff Gordon in New Hampshire last month and now Johnson has caused friction between the once close-knit group.

But Vickers said he believes he and Johnson can get past Talladega.

"Do I think Jimmie is upset? Yes, of course he is. Do I think we can fix that? Absolutely," he said after the race. "Jimmie is a great person, he is a very mature man and I am sure when the time is right, we will have our opportunity to work things out."

Sunday's outcome also has been awkward for car owner Rick Hendrick, Johnson said.

Hendrick is like a second father to Vickers, who was very close to Ricky Hendrick - Rick's son - before his death in a 2004 plane crash. And Vickers' win was done in the No. 25 Chevrolet, which was owned by Rick Hendrick's late father, Papa Joe, and run by Ricky.

Hendrick had an emotional discussion with Vickers in Victory Lane, then left the track without talking to reporters.

"Rick's view is that he's the highest of highs and the lowest of lows," Johnson said. "His father's team got back to Victory Lane, but at the expense of one of his other cars taking a hit in the points. I think it's tough for him. He's happy, he's bummed.

"It's the same way that I am and my team is. But at the end of the day, I'm happy for the No. 25 team. They've been working very hard to get where they are, and they've been close to winning. So I am happy for those guys. But I'm disappointed that I lost all those points that I did. And I think that's just kind of the overall feeling that everybody has."

[Sideout]

Speaking of bonehead moves...at least Brian knew where he was trying to go...and let's face it, Jr and Jimmy may be in the chase, but they were in no real danger of winning it...

Thanks a lot J.J. :nolike:

Luckily, Mark walks away... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hainu13vYK0)

[Ojive]

Good clip sideout, Yeah his evening was toast after that lick. But Mark still had the energy to thank the crowd

[Sideout]

or he was still dizzy :hehe:

[Dave]

that was a bad crash....that was one of those hold your breath and wait to see if he is still moving in the car crashes

Yeley dove down into the pits like a maniac

[Ojive]

it would be interesting to know how many g's Mark took with that frontal crash. I guess those boxes on board the cars now measure that kind of stuff?

[Sideout]

I really hate to think what that would have been like if it wasn't a SAFER barrier where he hit...man :nuts:

[Ojive]

could da been like Dale Sr. :cry:

[Sideout]

Nice job Dave :thumbsup: I believe 805 is a new bressler record.

Spotter...that lead's getting smaller and smaller...:cool:

[Dave]

I didn't even check....was it that high??

I am new to this Nascar stuff, only really been into it for the past 2 years...I am in a yahoo fantasy league with some friends and I think my overall rank is in the 4,000's.....which isnt bad considering their 4 experts are in the 30,000's and up.

[Sideout]

You're just lucky they held that one caution for 3 or 4 extra laps so Jeffy could fix his car without losing any laps... :rolleyes:

[Spotter]

Spotter...that lead's getting smaller and smaller...:cool:Hell, it doesn't matter what size the lead is. Remember last year? Well, if you don't, I do. I finished in the lead after segment's one and two. And I had about a 225 point lead going into the final race of the third and final segment. So, I had my worst race of the season and got bumped down to 4th place. :nuts: So, it doesn't matter. In this game anyone can sick at anytime. I just hope it's not me this year.

You're just lucky they held that one caution for 3 or 4 extra laps so Jeffy could fix his car without losing any laps... :rolleyes:
Or the "let's let Dale Jr. get his two laps back" cautions in a row? Typical NASCAR BS.

[Ojive]

it's my time to be in 4th place damn it! My guys are just coming up short back in consective 30 something finshes. Spotter you going to Texas this weekend? They have been sniving over some areas in turns 1 and 2 about bumbs and rough spots. Should be some good wrecks. Well if you go have fun because wish I could be there.

[Sideout]

Or the "let's let Dale Jr. get his two laps back" cautions in a row? Typical NASCAR BS.

ya know...I'm not usually one to go with the conspiracy theory....but, that caution with gordon only involved him and one other car and they both got off the track under their own power...and it was a full 3 LAPS longer than any other caution that day, even the multi-car accidents later in the race. So he pits 5 times without losing a lap and gets his car all fixed up...give me a break :nolike:

That deal with jr. reminded me of that Kyle Busch incident where he got back 5 laps on lucky dogs and finished in the top 10 ahead of a lot of cars that never fell off the lead lap...that is total crap.

[Spotter]

That's NASCAR for ya!

Ojive, I am taking a breather for this one. I even have a legit excuse to be in Dallas Sunday night (for work) but I still am going to hang here and watch it on TV before I drive to D. It is just so much work and money for a 4.5 hour race.

You've got that right, I guess when I was out last summer and running around the track it was real cool to have been able to experience it. I'm hoping next year I can spread out for another truck venue. I just find having to sit or stand during a cup race and not to mention the cost for the race isn't worth it. I'm also looking at maybe hitting a ARCA race up in the Pocono's. But still early in my plans.
Well be safe and enjoy the weekend:thumbsup:

[Spotter]

I am rethinking my weekend plans. Since I have to be in Dallas Sunday night, I am thinking about driving to Ft. Worth and trying to time it to where I arrive right at green flag time. Or maybe ten or 15 minutes after the start of the race. Then I can snake a cheap scalper seat and watch it. Or wait till they open the gate 1/2 way thru the race and walk right in for free. since my gas and room are paid for already :thumbsup:

How'd it go?

[Spotter]

Since I had already attended two concerts over the weekend, I crapped out and stayed homer and watched it on TV and drove to Dallas after the race. I got a call around noon telling me I had a freebie in one of the upper row PSL seats, but I had already decided to stay home. No regrets. It is only the 2nd cup race I have missed out of the 12 they have run.

And I really stunk it up in the NASCAR Pick 'Em. I dropped Bowyer for Sadler and that hurt. Plus Kahne blowing up hurt, too.

Last race of the year. Coming down to the wire. Good luck to everyone. And wish me luck, too!

And if anyone is up and surfing tomorrow morning at 10 AM central time, you can hear me doing a guest spot on a local racing talk radio show. Just go to www.sportsradio1300.com and listen online to The Motorsports Zone. It's only a 1 hour show and the host has been asking me to come in all year. So I finally gave in. :p It's pretty fun. I've done it a couple of times before. I am no expert, but I am fairly knowledgeable. So, listen in and hear me make a fool of myself live!

yeah...since you were half right and cuda's not around...just give me half :laugh: :Poke:

Technically, you did say AND...so I think you're safe to keep your bucks :cool:

[Ojive]

well now that Johnson won I guess I'll have to plug my ears, and since I didn't hide my feelings of him wrecking.

[Sideout]

nah...I guess it's like they say...better to be lucky than good...or just cheat...or both :laugh:
It'll take awhile for them to learn to che...er I mean "push the rule limits" on the car of tomorrow, so they'll go back to sucking for a bit :rolleyes:

Mighty big difference between a piston engine and a jet engine.
Actually it is amazing that spinning those R's these motors don't go high order! Serious technology and reliability. I haven't been around F-1 cars but I have had a little time around Cart cars and they are equally impressive. Boost and fuel control from the cockpit. I try to imagine what if NASCAR ever allowed a no holes barred race that allowed computers in the engine and traction control and fuel control from inside what would the out come be? And I will add that cart has gone about as far as they can go with the existing technology. So whats next?

Johnson breaks wrist after falling from cart

http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/6257616?FSO1&ATT=HCP&GT1=8901

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Nextel Cup champion Jimmie Johnson broke his left wrist when he fell out of a golf cart during a celebrity tournament, his team said Sunday.

The injury occurred Friday at a tournament in Lecanto, Fla., and will prevent him from driving for at least four weeks. The injury was to his non-shifting hand, and he should be able to participate in preseason testing at Daytona International Speedway next month.

"I was in a golf cart and the driver took a sharp turn," Johnson said in a statement. "I wasn't holding on tight enough, landed awkwardly on the ground and heard a little pop. It was a fluke deal, but fortunately we're in the offseason and I don't plan to miss any additional time."

[Spotter]

Well, the truth has come out about the J.J broken wrist incident. It seems he was on top of the golf cart, goofing around and fell off when his partner hit a berm.

[Ojive]

How about Biffle crashing at Vegas during a tire test last week.

So it was the humor or was it factual? I mean days of thunder was about Harry Hyde and Tim Richmond.

[Sideout]

Personally, I think it looks like total crap - makes days of thunder look like a documentary - and I have no idea why anyone at nascar would be promoting it like they have with the merchandise and all - I have no plans of ever seeing it and I'm ok with that ;)


Go rent yourself Nascar IMAX and fire it up on a big screen and surround system...and enjoy. Better yet, go see it in an IMAX 3D when it comes around again.

Bobby Hamilton paid his early bills driving a wrecker, got his NASCAR break driving a car used in "Days of Thunder" and won the 2004 Craftsman Truck championship in his own truck.
Following his death Sunday of cancer at the age of 49, Hamilton was remembered for his love of the sport, kindness and blue-collar persona.
Nextel Cup driver Sterling Marlin, a fellow Tennessee native, said Sunday night that a lot of people didn't get to know Hamilton well, but that the driver who started with nothing and never had the best equipment would be missed.
"He would give you the shirt off his back, and he helped me out a lot through the years," Marlin said.
Born in Nashville in 1957, Hamilton got his start on local tracks and qualified fifth in his first Cup race at Phoenix in 1989 with a car used in the movie "Days of Thunder." He drove in all of NASCAR's top three divisions, making 371 Cup starts and winning four races in what is now the Nextel Cup series, including the 2001 Talladega 500.
The death was shocking to people who had not seen him recently. His racing team announced only last month that Ken Schrader would drive its truck this season.
"NASCAR is saddened by the passing of Bobby Hamilton," said Jim Hunter, NASCAR's vice president of communications. "Bobby was a great competitor, dedicated team owner and friend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Hamilton family."
Hamilton won 10 times in the truck series, including four victories in 2004 when he became the first owner-driver to win a NASCAR series title since the late Alan Kulwicki won the Winston Cup championship in 1992.
"I think at the end of the Cup deal, he was burnt out on the system. But he always had a good vision," Marlin said. "He always wanted to do things his own way, so he became his own boss, got into trucks, and it worked out well for him."
Hamilton was diagnosed in February with head and neck cancer. A malignant growth was found when swelling from dental surgery did not go down.
He raced in the first three truck races of the season, with a best finish of 14th at Atlanta Motor Speedway, before turning over the wheel to his son, Bobby Hamilton Jr. The senior Hamilton then started chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
Liz Allison, widow of former NASCAR star Davey Allison, co-hosted a local radio show with Hamilton that started in January 2006.


Wow that is said news I liked Bobby a lot and actually pulled for the Square D Dodge in the truck series the year he won the Championship. Sad day in Motor Sports.---- So long driver

[Freak]

Yeah, I liked watching him run that Square D truck.

Yeah her is a shot of Big E giving some chrome horn to Bobby back in 96 at the Rock!

NASCAR isn’t commenting beyond spokesman Jim Hunter’s statement Thursday that the Chase for the Nextel Cup will include more than 10 drivers this year.
But Speedway Motorsports Inc. president Bruton Smith hinted Friday the new number could be 12.
“I think you can look for 12, but that’s just my opinion,” Smith said on Sirius Satellite Radio’s new NASCAR channel.
Smith also said he believes the winner of each race will get an additional 10 points in the changes expected to be announced later this month.

I reckon if Bruton said it or hinted at it then it very well might happen. Hopefully the extra 10 points will be during the regular season but that is truly yet to be seen.

[Freak]

I like the extra points for winning myself. Maybe not 10, but 5. Could change things a little. Woulda helped Newman a couple years ago and Kahne last year, that's for sure.

Benny Parsons is also in intensive care. It is cancer. Keep him in your prayers.
