I can't believe the best they could come up with from the USA was Jeff Gordon and Travis Pastrana.

 

[Slugman]

Meh

"best".........."the ones we could talk into doing it"

What's the difference?

 

[valve bouncer]

Team Playstation France made me laugh. Not that they're clutching at straws or anything. They'll probably win and make me look like a cunt though.
Edit- I see cunt still gets thru the filter. Cool.

you'd be suprised just how talented a driver Jeff Gordon is, even though i despise its existance, NASCAR is a very very difficult sport to be good at. boring as hell to watch, but difficult nonetheless

Looks like a cool event, but I do not have a HDTV so therefore I don't subscribe to HDnet so I can't watch, nor give Mark Cuban any money, sorry Mark.

NASCAR is a very very difficult sport to be good at.

It's hard for me to believe that when I hear the drivers complain about having to brake on the road courses.............

Jeff is a good driver, no question, he doesn't need a stand in for the road courses and could actually drive an F1 car.......but he's not this years champion Tony is...............this to me seems like a pretty prestigious event to participate in, or at least be invited to.

I really like the course layout, it was a blast to watch last year.........
