OT: The NASCAR Thread.

[Rockindeano]

I really think the Lowe's car is more popular than the Rainbow DuPont.

The favorite two cars of gay men everywhere. Johnson and Gordon are the pretty poster boys of "racing."

Yeah cumbreath, and both have model wives.

Why don't you lick the cream corn out of my smelly ass.

Damn I am feeling the love again

Don't you mean trophy wives? Look, I really do not believe that they are gay. (But it is always fun to spin up you sensitive types ) But, Gordo and Johnson are nothing more than mass market, metrosexual, Anti-Earnhardt, pretty poster boys that NAPCAR has used to dumb down what was once a great racing series. They and their ilk have helped to turn what used to be a sport into mindless, made for tv entertainment.

And as far as being world class drivers... What a joke. Pretty boy Johnson had his ass handed to him in the first round of the last four Race of Champions events.

I don't know why I am even responding to you. You are obviously pissed because a well spoken, smart, and respectful California boy, wiped the Nascar floor with redneck asses the last 2 years in the form of Championships. Hell, the last 4 he has dominated.

Ever notice that during the anthem, they show JJ and JG with hot wives, and Jr is always alone? Never ever has a chick next to him.

You might as well leave because you can't argue with me here. I have way too much for you.

Yeah, but he sure looks good in them Wranglers!

Lots of guys don't have women next to 'em.

Personally, I think Kasey Kahne is waiting for me - what's a 24-year-difference in age? Nothin'!



When I first got into NASCAR (last year), this was the lowdown I was given: Gordon - whiny brat, Johnson - arrogant but good driver, Stewart - ass, either Busch brother - jerk, Earnhardt Jr. - mini-god.

Jarrett - respected.

With all due respect to their driving abilities, I found my first year in NASCAR fandom to relatively dull at the end. If you didn't have a "J" in your name somewhere you might as well not exist. Hopefully this year they mix it up a little.

My dad and I were talking about that the other day. With all these girls out there that want in his Wranglers, how come the man, in his eight or nine years of Cup racing, has never had any kind of arm candy? Hell, I've seen Tony Stewart with more broads than this guy.

Maybe Junior just likes the pole.

.....Too bad he's never on it!

Whoever in the Hell got you into it and told you what he told you, definitely is retarded. Tell him I said he should go buy a fuckin brain.

Since Johnsons first full season of 2002 he has won more races than anyone, easily, with 33 races won, 2 Championships, a second(lost by 8 points) and a 5th. Earnhardt, by comparison, started his first full year in 2000, and has roughly half the wins, at 17. "Mini god?" Not hardly.

Jarrett - respected.

Yeah ok, whatever. This old fart does UPS commercials and finshes 25th every race. retire already, and take your gay chrome wheels with you.

Bro, do you like pole? Seriously, it's cool if you do just asking. That pic of you freaks me out. Nice white chompers and all, but other than that, you kind of look like a cross between someone in the Planet of the Apes and John Daly.

how come i can watch 18 holes of golf featurning Tiger and Phil during the MASTERS (or hell anyone else for that matter)...but cant watch more than 3 laps of freaking
NASCAR!! During the daytona, i could not watch until the very end...and then they had the caution out with 4 laps left!!! I watched about 2 laps during lap 48 or so...
then at the end.

Hah! They dumbed it down from Earnhardt. That’s rich.

I agree there are problems with NaPcar, lol. Too commercial, too many long boring races (not enough driver-oriented races). & I think it's becoming a little too sanitized.

But I LIKE the fact that the top drivers are well-spoken “pretty boys,” with brains and teeth. There are still plenty of characters to go around. And they’re ALL better than some of the thugs in the NBA and NFL.

&, like it or not, there's no denying their talent. If the races were all about the drivers, Gordo, Tony and maybe Kyle would always be fighting for the wins. And have you seen JJ on a dirt track? I think he might even rival Tony on the dirt.


Btw, who is your favorite? JR?

Good damn question, lol. Tiger is amazing, but golf is pretty much an insomnia cure for me... Esp. now that he has gotten SO mechanical. I actually paid attention back when he’d consistently get himself in, and then miraculously get out of trouble.

There is little suspense, now, except over who’ll come in second.
(btw - My 77-year-old mother is a freaking Tiger groupie, lol)

LOL. to say you have a way with words is an understatement.

I should have said the "mini-god" comment was said sarcastically. No one I know is part of "Junior Nation"! As for Dale Jarrett, this is someone that the person has followed for many,many years and said Jarrett is respected for his career as a whole by drivers and fans alike.

So what did I find on my own? Gordon IS a whiny brat. Johnson has done commercials parodying his supposed "arrogance" but is cool in interviews and knows his stuff, Tony Stewart IS an ass but has a sense of humor and the jury is still out on the Busch brothers and as soon as I can get them straight I'll figure them out for myself, too.

According to my Amazon.com tracking, the Fucking Brain is somewhere near Indianapolis with expected delivery between March 1 and 6. I'll wrap it up as a gift.

Bring it on bitch! You got nothing and you know it! I know that you are the Tourettes's stricken windbag of the 101st Journey Keyboard Kommandoes. But, what you know about racing would be written on the head of a pin. NASCAR used to be a series that featured talented racing drivers who could actually drive something other than a perfectly prepared and perfect handling race car. What is is now is a marketing showcase for prissy cover boys, the most of which (including your man crush) coud not drive his way out of a paper bag.

Exactly what has Jimmy and Jeffy ever done in racing except the snooze fest that NAPCAR has turned into? Nothing! They both race for one of the few top teams that can consistently provide their drivers with a car capable of winning. Their greatest accomplishment is being fortunate enough to land a ride with Hendrick. A trained chimpanzee could win in those cars! Look at Kyle Busch. Put them in another team and they would fade to the back of the grid. Then you and the other bandwagon fans would have to slobber after another pretty face.

Style over substance is what these cookie cutter drivers of today represent. They could not carry the helmet bag for real stock car drivers like Earnhardt Sr. Richard Petty and David Pearson. If you were to put them in equipment equal to any number of their contemporaries, they would just be another losing pretty face. And whatever you do. Please, never ask them to make a right handed turn! Take a look at real racing drivers of the past. Drivers such as Andretti and Foyt could race anything and win. Not so much for your paper champions of today. Jimmie Johnson has been eliminated in the first round of the last four Race of Champions events in Europe. Whipped each time by the same driver. Newman-Haas driver, France's Sebastien Bourdais has dominated Champ Car the past number of years. He faced your boy each time and ate his lunch every time. The driver that you claim to be the best there is could not even make it past the first round of an international competition.

Go ahead and worship at the feet of Johnson, Gordon. Ogle their model wives. Those of us who actually know how to appreciate real racing and recognize real driving talent will be looking elsewhere.

You want proof that NAPCAR has been dumbed down? Look at the TV coverage. What an embarrasment that is. Two words pretty much sum it up. Darryl Waltrip.

Boogity-Boogity-Boogity
You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel
Pushin' like a dumptruck.

When DW took over Neil Bonnett's show on what used to be TNN, he was great. Well spoken, intelligent and insightful. He could have been the John Madden of stock car racing coverage. But he has turned out to be Bozo the Clown.

Further evidence that Nascar has gone down the toilet:
- "Overdrive"- The Green/White/Checker finish. All it does is damage equipment and is going to end up getting someone killed again. If the race finishes under yellow, so be it.
- The Lucky Dog - The only form of professional auto racing that allows a competitor to make up a lost lap without earning it. The yellow comes out, you should freeze the field. End of Story.
- The Big One - Any "sport" where you are waiting for the huge accident to eliminate half the field is not racing. It is made for TV entertainment.
- Restrictor plate racing - An absolute snooze fest. Sure there are a lot of lead changes. How can there not be with that many cars running so close together.
- That butt ugly "Car of Tomorrow." It is official, they have taken the "stock car" aspect out of the sport completely. There is nothing even remotely stock about the design of these cars. Gone are the days when my '74 Charger could sit side my side with Richard Petty's STP Dodge and the cars looked relatively the same. They have watered the sport down to the point where it is a spec-racer series.
- The interchangeable head drivers. What a bunch of "Hall of Presidents" audio-animatronics robots we have wearing driver uniforms these days. They should just have a tape recorder that they carry around for interviews and post race ceremonies. Thank god for Tony Stewart climbing the fences and Carl Edwards backflips. Something original for a change.

Dis-Honorable Mentions:
Larry McReynolds
Kenny Wallace
Jimmie Spenser

Cut the mike. McReynolds is turning into Waltrip-lite and Wallace/Spencer are a couple of buffoons.

Oh and my favorite stock car driver(s)...
I have been a Richard Petty fan since day one. The best pure stock car driver to ever strap on a helmet. I hated, detested and absolutely loathed Earnhardt Sr. But he could drive the hell out of a race car. Better than any of the current crop of drivers. Of today's drivers, I like Dale Jr. I cannot imagine the pressure that he must feel carrying on that name. Add to that the fact that the sport killed his father, I believe he is a hell of a good kid and think he will do well at Hendrick. I think the best pure driver in today's field is Tony Stewart. He still races sprints, has run the Indy 500 and dabbled in road racing. If I had a team and could pick any driver to drive for me. He would be my choice.

Was good to see Edwards, Martin and Burton have good finishes. How the hell does one qualify Stewart's wreck as "viscious"? That was a mere kiss of the wall!

For you to applaud an accident like Jeff Gordon is serious derangement. To be happy for that is sick.

My God, what is wrong with you people?

[Rockindeano]

PS- I love how you 48 haters are getting all jacked up.

"ooh, the 48 hasn't won yet!"

LOL, he'll win for sure, I would bet he wins in the ATL next week!

[ProgRocker53]

For you to applaud an accident like Jeff Gordon is serious derangement. To be happy for that is sick.

My God, what is wrong with you people?

EXACTLY.

I was freaking out when Gordon crashed. I teared up and my heart skipped a beat.

The dude hit the inside wall with the driver's side a TON. I was about to retch in nervousness until I saw him move.

It was the same reaction I had when I saw the Earnhardt wreck, and when I saw Geoff Bodine's huge truck series wreck, and Greg Moore's Cart crash.

Thank GOD he hit at the angle he did, and not a more direct one.... that could've been tragic.

I'm not a big Junior fan at all, and pretty much can't stand Kurt Busch, but if they were in the accident that Gordon had I'd still have the same reaction.

[larryfromnextdoor]

i dont understand all the teams... wouldnt it be better if everyone was out to win and not helping a team member?

did they have teams in the old days?

less cars on the track as well.. sitting still they are 1/4 mile deep .. 10 cars max...

500 laps? 25 tops..

i do like all the camera angles now!! and hearing the drivers talk to the pit crew.. thats very cool!! i know nothing about racing..

I don't understand all your post....

But I'll respond to what I can discern, haha, and yes they did have teams in the old days but not to the extent that they have it now.

In terms of actual individual performance, it's more on the driver than the team... but being a part of a team highly enhances a car's mechanical quality. The bigger teams with more money typically have faster cars than the individuals and 2-car teams.

The "team" effect in the actual race isn't as evident at races like Las Vegas, as it is at races in Daytona and Talladega, where teammates help push one another in mini-trains to the front of the pack.

I love ya 7W, but come on. That's the broken record anti-NASCAR drivel that most people give the sport. There's more to it than that.

Just like there's more to football than 22 guys shoving eachother, more to basketball than 10 guys bouncing and throwing a ball, more to soccer than 22 guys kicking a ball, etc.

It's like baseball. It looks boring as hell until you find out all the intricacies. Then you find out the going around in circles IS almost incidental-compared to everything else that's going on.
And the radios are VERY cool. It's like hearing the play called into the quarterback during a game. Of course when they get wronged or wrecked is when the radios are the most fun!
All those laps are what makes for all the different strategies. The goal is to be your best and in front on the last lap. But there's a lot of different ideas during the race on how to do that.
On a mile-plus whatever (1 1/2 today) track, 43 cars can still get strung out. The fun is when they're close together racing each other.
And yes, there's always been teams of some sort. Even back in the 50s, Carl Keikhaefer (Mercury Outboards) used to bring five or six cars to a race. He won a lot of championships that way. And just because you've got teammates, doesn't mean you like them or help them necessarily. The good ones do.

[7 Wishes]

Gary, don't fucking compare baseball to circle track car racing, OK?
