Do they still call it NASCAR. I thought it was the Jimmie Johnson Invitational. I think Roush and RCR will be much more competitive this year. It will be interesting to see what happens to Junior if he has another sub par year in championship level equipment.

I'm hoping #88 is back on the radar this year!!

So how does Danika do ??

earnhardt earnhardt Message earnhardt
Jan '10

Here's my prediction for the 88. Another subpar season sends him packing. The guy is a great driver, but he can't get a grip on these "new" cars. He either takes JR Motorsports to Cup or joins RCR. Kevin Harvick leaves RCR and either brings his Nationwide team to Cup or joins Stewart Haas. Kasey Kahne leaves the mess that is Petty Motorsports (or whatever it is called now) and drives for Hendrick next year.

As for Danika, "See Erin Crocker!" I think Kurt Busch wins the championsip this year.

While I've watched NASCAR, how could you not watch any kind of sport in this house, I've never been loyal to one guy. I've been loyal to the M&M car when it never won, but I think it's time I put my loyalty to a person. I will have to do my research before the Great American Race... I have been to the Pocono's for racing twice and have to admit, they are a verrrrrrrrrrry interesting crowd to watch.

Ok, I've done some looking around and though this not the popular pick, I've adopted Kyle Busch. I'm supporting the local business and he has a great website, love the car, he's my guy! Joined his fan club, will keep up with NASCAR this year. Who knows, maybe I'll even get to a race.

Minus the two delays, that was the best 500 in years. Great racing, no big wrecks in the beginning of the race.

Just wondering if any NASCAR fans also follow Formula 1. Some think that NASCAR shows a lack of culture and Formula 1 does. To me, they're all cars going around a track or following a course. What makes one better cultured and one not?. As you know, I've just joined NASCAR watching and now find that I have a lack of culture.

that's too funny Bessie , well you''ll know you've reached the bottom of the culture barrel when you start watching WWE

They won the race after passing a car while under a caution flag ? I don't know the rules involved but that sounds like scoring a basket or touchdown during a time out .

I dont get it, this thread says Nascar not Formula 1. I dont go on you I hate teachers, governemnet sucks, football rocks threads and try to take it over. If you dont have anything to say on the subject or just want to bash it, what point does that make.

Just Asking Just Asking Message Just Asking
Feb '10

Point, hmmmm. Take the drag race where a tire killed a spectator; they didn't cancel the remaining races -- no class. NASCAR has done the same (tire killed spectators and the show went on). In Formula 1 they stopped the race out of respect for the dead. So, did I hijack -- yes. Do I have a point -- yes. Does anyone else want to absorb the truth -- who knows...

Jay Jay Message Jay
Feb '10

JA, my fault for bringing the Formula 1 into the thread. Since I don't know much about racing, and Jay's opinion was Nascar and Formula 1 was the like the difference being having culture and not having culture. I thought what better place to get some opinions that weren't Jay's, from real racing fans, LOL about the difference in the two. I thought they were all just cars racing around. I kind of liked Earnhardt's explanation.

Anyone surprised that Edward did not get suspended? Not me. It was said at the beginning of the season that NASCAR would let them race this year. Let's see where this goes from here. Keselowski might put a timed bomb in Edwards car at Bristol.

I was not surprised Edwards was not suspended. To suspend him would set a precedent which would go against the "drivers policing themselves" policy Nascar has preached. To tell you the truth, since Kesolowski was not hurt, I think Nascar is loving this! Did you see all of the empty seats in Fontana (expected) and Atlanta? Still tickets available at Bristol?!?
