Nascar

[NuclearCujo]

Anyone else here a Nascar fan? If so, post up your favorite drivers/teams and who you think will do the best this year. Nascar haters please don't post, because I don't care what you think.

Favorite drivers are Sadler and Jarrett.
But I think Stewart or Johnson will win this season.

I haven't watched much since my driver died, the great number 3. I mostly follow his son now, as I write this he was just taken out.

Nascar's the one that has loads of racers just going round and round a circular track right ? and there is always loads of crashes. Them races are crazy i've seen them a couple of times, pretty damn cool.

[NuclearCujo]

Tough race there D. He had an excellent car today, just no luck. Unseen, most of the tracks are oval in shape, but there are several road tracks that are left/right/uphill/downhill thats pretty cool. Races on these Super speedways have the nastiest wrecks of all. Anyone ever been to a race? I go to Dover for both spring and fall races.

+ YouTube Video

I see what you mean about the nasty crashes, even though the video is slowed down it still looks pretty crazy. Actually being there seeing 200+mph crashes must be insane.

Wow, it just ended with a huge wreck!! Yes I have been to lots of races. I used to go to a race every year when I was first married. I have been to the following:

Charlotte (my fav, you can visit all the team shops while there)
Daytona (Bush Race) (drove a rental car on the track, very cool)
Texas
Richmond
Atlanta

I also went to Richard Petty’s driving school at Las Vegas International Raceway.

I got out of Nascar a few years back, but since they started The Chase I've been working my way back into it. The glorious #3 was my driver and once he died I never got around to "picking" another one. I rooted for Denny Hamlin all last year and today. So, I guess he is my favorite driver now. So, in short:

Favorite drivers: Denny Hamlin, Elliot Sadler(he's a good ole' boy)

Picks for 07 greatness:Jimmy Johnson, Tony Stewart, and Matt Kenseth()

That was a heck of an ending. I am a Gordon fan (don't care what anyone else thinks ), but really would have liked to see Martin win today.

[alter_ego_trip]

D-Litch, you were what 5, when DES died?

[ZoomZoom71]

Yep, heck of an ending is right. Fun to watch, for sure. I, too, was hoping to see Mark Martin pull out a win today. Harvick made a heck of a run at the end. Craziness!

Nope, 11 I believe....


Smartass

[OnoMan]

Yes way to go Harvick.
By the way a Harvick fan as you can tell, anyone who drags another driver(Greg Biffle) out of a window and start beating him is cool in my book!!LOL

I like Harvick because he did that. I just prefer people over him. Greg Biffle is a twit.

[NuclearCujo]

This race was one of the best recently, very close finish. My brother and I were really hoping for Martin there at the end. As long as that retard Busch didnt get it. He was reckless the whole race. Alter, Gordon is alright in my book. Only one I dislike is Stewart and Johnson. I believe they are both whiners who blame everyone for their troubles and never accept responsibility for their mistakes. I like Jarrett and Waltrip on the same team now, the two biggest media whores together in commercials is gonna rock.

[Mtheory]

LOL @ the Biffle comment. That race was AWESOME! Amazing finish.

I'm a Gordon, Johnson, Jeff Burton fan. More Burton and Johnson here lately, but I don't hate on anybody (except for the occasional ig-nant Junior fan)

I go to Chicago for the whole weekend every year. I stay with a whole group of guys on a boat about 10 min from the track. We consume more alcohol than you would think was humanly possible. Its a total blast.

I also went for a couple of years to Michigan but that trip ended up being a major chore. The track is about 6 1/2 hours away, which is a LOOOONNNGG trip after 3 1/2 hour race and getting to the track at 9am.

Look out for RCR this year. They all had a strong finish to last year and are getting off to a great start!

[AngryMongoose]

Yes it was a good race today,I was hoping Martin could pull it off but Harvick had to come up from on the outside.
Stewart is my favorite driver but I would like to see Montoya do good.

Stewart is my most disliked racer. Anyone can win as long as it isn't him.
