Daytona 500

[SVTVenom]

Anyone ready for NASCAR again? Who ya got winning the race? Season?

I've got Jeff Gordon winning the Daytona 500 and the season.

[SVTVenom]

Looks good so far for JG. Just qualified 2nd overall for Daytona.

[SC457A]

I know it will not happen anytime in the near future, but I wish they would ditch the plates.

when is the bud shoot out? im too lazy to look

[SVTVenom]

Its on right now. TNT. I was watching it on NASCAR.com's TrackPass for a bit. They have it free right now.

I think during the offseason last year Rusty Wallace took the plate off in some of his testing at Talledega and ran somewhere around 228 mph.

[SC457A]

that was at talledaga they let him run all out. Just think if they could have tuned on it some! :eek:

When they use the green house cars, maybe they will ditch the plates and do something else.

I will make my pick after the twins. :o

[SVTVenom]

I will make my pick after the twins. :o

C'mon, thats weak. I made mine before they even started qualifying.

[SC457A]

Yeah but until today I have not even paid any attention.

Hmmm Gordie had some issues i see in the bud shoot out....

Burton #1? gezzzz

[SVTVenom]

Burton #1? gezzzz

Shootout doesn't mean anything except some extra money. He's locked into the front row no matter what happens in these pre-races.

[SC457A]

Yep, and nowadays they don't even use the same car.

Gordon woulda been a high pick for me, but I'll have to pick someone else.

Trying to decide if a DEI car has anything any more or not. They were so strong a few years ago, but lost a few steps. Jimmie J. could be a possiblility. hmmmm

[grape]

everyone caught up to DEI a couple of years ago when they saw 4 big guys lifting a rear end housing into a car. When you have a spec rear spring say of 425 lbs, the less preload you have on it, the greater deflection you get with the same amount of down force. They filled their rear end housings with tungsten and since it's unsprung weight, the rear springs aren't carrying that 400 lbs when the car is setting at legal low quarter heights.......... Wham bam the quarters on the DEI cars were over 1" lower at speed than everyone else, the hillbillys prove again that somethings aren't as they seem with unsprung weight actually being a good thing in this instance.

Yeah, those guys can do some pretty crazy stuff to those cars and make them do amazing things. They constantly have to revamp the rules to prevent them from doing stuff like that. The Hendrick guys had some shocks outlawed last year because they "got around" the rules.

[SVTVenom]

Cue the losing theme music from The Price Is Right yet again:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news;_ylt=Ag0BFzbplisX7lg6qJHDujTov7YF?slug=ap-nascar-daytona500&prov=ap&type=lgns

Not good for the Jimmy Johnson team or Aikman/Staubach team.

[SVTVenom]

Well, the Daytona 500 crew definately made a better choice than the Super Bowl crew for entertainment. Bon Jovi still rocks.

[SVTVenom]

Even though DW isn't on NBC, I have to say it: "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!!! Let's go racin' boys!"

[Mach1Marauder]

I've got Jeff Gordon winning the Daytona 500 and the season.
What a little FAG!!!!
Him and MJ would get along quite well!

Gordon is a fag...he and Tom Cruise are lovers....


Nascar....wow, redneck heaven in the sunlight I suppose....? I will watch the first pace lap for the Z06, and then Tivo the rest so I can go to the accidents.

Back to the garage to work on MY racecar....and freeze my fucking nuts off.

[SC457A]

The z06 was sweet.

I am glad I did not miss the sweetest aircraft in the world on the fly over.

Super bowl sucked compared to the prerace crap.

I still hate plate races. follow the leader races suck

[GT Dan]

Gordon just hit the wall... No win for him.... lmao, good...

[SVTVenom]

Tony "Pussy" Stewart strikes again. :rolleyes:

No, crybaby needed to back off and stop being such a dickhead. He complains when people hit him, but won't give an inch to anyone else.

[Mach1Marauder]

pOOR jEffY..................he lost turd gear............................won't be long! :p :p :p

[Mach1Marauder]

WTF is up with Stewart? :confused:

[GT Dan]

I love hearing Matt Kenseth crying like a baby.... whaaaa.... drive the car and shut up... you wanna get even, put Tony in the wall or catch him in the garage and have a little talk with him... punk...

[SVTVenom]

WTF is up with Stewart? :confused:

Being his usual pussy ass self. JG has done a great job with all the bullshit he's had to deal with today.

[SVTVenom]

Congrats to Jimmy Johnson! Hendrick power back in the front again @ Daytona.

[SC457A]

Jimmie J. could be a possiblility. hmmmm

:D

[GT Dan]

Thats too bad... Jimmie Johnson is a cheating punk... I hope his car fails post race inspection... lol...

[David]

I got a good nap in today.

[Mach1Marauder]

Congrats to Jimmy Johnson! CHEATING ASS Hendrick power is back in the front again @ Daytona.
fixed! :p :p :p ;)

[SVTVenom]

fixed! :p :p :p ;)

Yep, they got busted in qualifying, not the race.

[Mach1Marauder]

[SVTVenom]

He just passed a 3 hour post-race inspection of his car.

[grape]

If you guys actually knew what was done, you'd realize the car was changed back before the race......... :rolleyes:

I can't believe that people actually think the car was allowed to compete in the daytona 500 with a cheated up rear glass that wouldn't fit the C3 template LOL. Nascar has a way of swaying the media and their fans i guess. I can't wait to see chad again to shake his hand, he burnt their ass at their own game, it was brilliant.

[GT Dan]

:rolleyes:

[GT-40 GTS]

Hell Shelmerdine could have won the race in 20 more laps at the rate the fast cars were getting wrecked by the hot heads. :rolleyes:

Taken from another board:

"The Cup cars go thru the body templates first...So the body passed on the 48 car when it went thru.... Next they check the suspension. The Track bar has a range of tolerance it can be in....the inspector told them they could raise it alittle and still be good. So this is where it went bad for them. They set the track bar low so the inspector would tell them they could raise it, the adjustment is what we all see thru the back window they always do. The 48 team had that tube go all the way down to the track bar so when they put the wrench thru it to raise the track bar the collar on the tube right under the window pushed up the rear window. Thus they made it thru inspection before going on track and not fitting the body templates after the race since the rear window was pushed up and looked "funny""


They say that the 48 had been doing this all last year and that an ex-crew member tipped off nascar before the race. :p

Hush your little purple self!
No one here said that the car was still the same! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Slowhand]

Mmm Nascar. 190 mph in a circle.

F1=200+mph on a road course.

Need I say more?

[aggie97]

Actually, 230mph for F1....and if you want to talk about the 24 hours of lemans....how about 240mph down the Mulsanne straight which is several miles long!!

[SVTVenom]

Its not like the cars in NASCAR can't reach those speeds. :rolleyes: They are intentionally slowed down from going that fast. As stated in another thread, Rusty Wallace went like 238 mph at 'Dega during testing w/o a restrictor plate.

[87carbd302]

ya nascar cars can fly with out rest plates

do it in just one lap....no warm up or "run up" for 3 laps....oh, and turn right for a change!

Nascar "racing" is a show to entertain rednecks...period. Drag racing is a game that rednecks can partake in because money is spent in short spurts.

Grand Am, World Challenge, Trans Am and the open wheel guys are FAR better Racers and put on a much better action show because it isn't about watching the "BIG WRECK". It's about the chess game of setting a guy up or pressuring him to the point of a mistake and taking advantage.

Nascar is the WWF with wheels.... :rolleyes:

Not to mention in a draft I can only imagine!

And Rusty did it in a Dodge. Imagine if it would have been in a Ford!!!111ONE!!!!11

Hey now!! I drag raced my car for 2.5 years before I got me some edumacation! And did pretty darn good too....just couldn't ever beat Beej....

I would like to take my car down to hallsville though and see how fast it will go down hill! Might do pretty good given how light it is? Guess I should have done that before cage and fire system...would have been about 2950 race ready! Still think it would run a mid to low 12 on street tires though. ;)

Nope in my book you are a typical jackass, which by the way has little to do with the school you went to or state you are from. I am an Aggie and I know that NASCAR>F1 or Indy. Well every family has to have one fuckin retard. As an Aggie myself I hate to admit it but I guess that means we are stuck with you as our village idiot ! Also here is some info for you.You may not know it but NASCAR is currently the number one commercial money making sport in the world currently. Have you ever heard of Tony Stewart? This is quoted from FOX sports: http://msn.foxsports.com/story/310494

"That success led to Stewart earning a ride in the fledgling IndyCar Series. After earning the Rookie of the Year award in 1996, Stewart won the series championship the following year.

While 1997 bore an IndyCar championship, it also bore the seeds to Stewart's current NASCAR success. A slate of 22 NASCAR Busch Series races with Joe Gibbs Racing in 1998 prepared Stewart for his assault on the Cup ranks in 1999"

5 Million Rednecks can't be wrong!

Wow! You are justifying your point because 5 million rednecks think something is popular....not a real strong argument there jethro...

If anything you justified my argument by stating that Stewart, a previously proven driver, stepped into the rectum of motorsports and shined...thanks! Driving a Nascar around in a circle must not be that hard then...?

Just because Nascar has a great marketing campaign and media coverage does not make the sport great....hell Curling at the olympics is getting more air time than most road racing....but does that make Curling a GREAT sport? Fuck NO! wake up already.

See the nice thing about growing up in the Redneck environment is that I understand a few things you don't. Like the fact I am gonna have to bitch slap your yankee high cotton ass so you'll set down and shut up . The other thing is that education is key and although I respect open wheel and other forms of motor sports I don't make a habit out of degrading them or their fans. You on the other hand are showing just how ignorant you truly are. Let the "Hit me again Ike" birth slapping commence. No one drafted in races prior to NASCAR it was our very own North Carolinian Jr Johnson who figured out if he stayed on the bumper of Fireball Roberts, he could keep up with him at Daytona during a practice session. Drafting is now used in all forms of racing just ask Texan Lance Armstrong. Then let's go back to cart and Tony Stewart I figured you understand he used IRL as a stepping stone to a better racing series, i.e. NASCAR . I am expecting too much from you aren't I. Also did you know that Ryan Newman #12 is a degreed Engineer? I am a huge NASCAR fan and grew up in Virginia where it is king. I am currently attaining my graduate degree in Ed. Admin. So please don't assume that NASCAR fans are drunken rednecks.

[aggie97]

Well, at least we agree that I am an asshole Yankee that thinks Nascar is stupid, the fans are all stupid rednecks AND that you are a Die Hard Nascar Fan..... :)

Have a nice day!

Question for you.Since your bring up all kinds of racing what do u call dirt track racing? Redneck road racings.I for one am not a hick but,when i drove a late model i alway turned right and left too and never got going in straight line till i hit the brakes.So does that count for road racing. Not everyone is into road racing I think its kind of boring but, thats my opinion. Why agrue when ever sport writer say racing is not sport.It should be seeing that a typical driver is sitting in car for 3 to 4hrs sweat his ass for a couple hours.I don't ranting all in good fun.
