i 2nd that but jus glad it wasnt Dale jarrett i cant stand himmanziman said:
Not a bad race. Usually I don't care much for the restrictor plate races (Daytona & Talladega) because they are often boring and there are too many big big wrecks. But, that finish was pretty exciting. Something like 9 lead changes in the last 10 laps.
Nice finish, the save on the last lap was tight, Martin could have spun if it wre not for his old guy control.
ok, I think the finish sucked. with the 5-3 laps to go was when it was exciting, with jr. bump drafting gordon and then all the lead changes, that was cool. but with the green-white-checker finish, it just sucked because gordon just coasted and nobody challenged him. Jr. wanted to challenge, but he was stuck on the inside with whats-his-mabucket blocking him on the outside and not attacking. not the best finish in my book. but cool crashesDamn True said:
Jr. got hung out to dry on that last restart...awesome 180 mile and hour drag race at the end....
Crashes are not cool.
Watched most of it HD. Now that's some tight chit!
Had to take of some errands and missed the finish. :mumble:
Pffftt...Gordon....whatever.....

Man it was awesome! I had some friends over, and we chilled and watched it in hdtv on my bigscreen whilst we drank some budlight. I even won my buddy's dale earnhardt jacket!
Nah I was busy riding today I didn't watch it.

F'n Snoozefest. I like my racing to make both kinds of turns..... Y'all forgot about the other kind....
NASCAR drivers are backwards Derek Zoolanders.

ANd that's cool! But like I said all racing is hip!
riiiight, but look at the Sears Point race way. it's a pretty good NASCAR race. (oh, and they turn right)blue said:NASCAR drivers are backwards Derek Zoolanders.
Ahhh.. that was a great race. Mark Martin did well, but I wish he would have won.
I love all auto racing. I can't wait till april for the Long Beach GP. I love watching the Toyota Atlantics. Yee Haw! I sure wish they would bring F1 back to Long Beach!

yes they are.Damn True said:
i watched...only cuz i had to. the last 20 laps are all you need to see in any race & that may be pushing it...more like 10. I thought it was an exciting finish, but was hoping Jr. would pull it off.
I watched the last 40 laps, but I suppose I could have watched just the last 3. That was def. some pass that JG pulled out of his a$$
I was out riding during the race . even had I been Home I probably would not have watched it , I'm just not into it. but I must say I like seeing Gordon win , just so I can hear all the people who hate him bitch about it.
II hate nascar too
I hate nascar too but that is also my favorite part.splat said:
Is it just me or does NASCAR seem like the WWF of the motorsport world.................
Andyman_1970 said:
It is just you.
It's more like the NFL, well marketed, wildly popular and a huge money maker.
The WWF is a conservation group, who recently sued a pro wrestling company over naming rights, but really they not even close to being a sport entertainment company.
My point was the antics (more like poor sportsmanship) of the drivers on and off the track and how it seems similar that the artificial "hype" those wrestling associations tend to encouage.
they gotta make it interesting. turning left all day is boring.Andyman_1970 said:
That's exactly what I was thinking.TN said:
I will say I enjoy the road course race NASCAR does, if anything to see that they can't complete more than 1 or 2 laps without spinning, or hear the more "seasoned" drivers complain about someone (usually a road course racer used specifically for that race) out braking them.........too funny.
I will say, drivers like Tony Stewart, and both Robby and Jeff Gordon (although Robby is a complete jerk) I'm impressed with as they race other series (Rolex for example) in the off season and tend to do pretty well. Jimmie Johnson kicked a WRC drivers butt (in a WRC car no less) in the Race of Champions this last year in Paris - I was impressed.
Andyman_1970 said:
Shesh Andy, yes, of course you were making that point. We were being silly.
There are similarities between all the pro sports, the people who are marketable are colorfull and adept at garnering TV time, even if it is beacause they act a fool.

From what I have seen he does pretty good in the Daytona Prototypes I've seen him race in.ummbikes said:
Although Robby Gordon did pretty well in the Dakar Rally this year for his first time - he was such a winer and a baby when he had to help his teammates..........dude get over it.
