Maybe NASCAR just isn’t for you…tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.4754322009-11-03T09:23:12ZSpin
Everyone complains about the "Big One". So NASCAR does the smart thing, and warns drivers not to bump draft in the corners. DUH. Then everyone complains because NASCAR isn't letting them slam into each other in the corners and create lots of Big Ones.
Then, there's Big Ones caused by, huh hmmm, bump drafting. And everyone complains that they had a Big One. Then they complain that the rest of the race was boring. Because there was no bump drafting, which sometimes causes Big Ones.
Eyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeye!!!!
You sit and watch a 500 mile race, and complain that it's too long. You knew it was 500 miles long, why did you sit there and watch it? So you can complain that drivers use STRATEGY in a 500 mile race? Because that makes sense.
Then we complain about the restrictor plate. What a stupid idea. Of course of cars went in the stands and mauled 15 or 20 people on network TV, everyone would complain that NASCAR should have prevented that, and now we have no racing to watch anymore.
Ahhh, but it would be better if they did this and this, and drive up the costs. And NASCAR really needs to do something about the richest teams winning races too!!! I chose my nickname because you make my head spin.
The common car is evil and wicked. Trying to make the racing better by giving everyone the same equipment. And OMG it's killing the sport with one team winning races and championships. wow
They're stupid for limiting testing and impounding cars after qualifying. And, they need to do more to help the underdog. Incredible.
You know what? NASCAR should spend millions of dollars to knock down the banking at Daytona and Talladega, make them more like Michigan and California. But California needs to lose a date because the racing there is boring. wow
Maybe NASCAR just isn't your sport. Maybe you'd prefer short races, win-to-get-in, cars that put on a great side-by-side show no matter what track they're at, or what condition it's in.
Tune in Saturday night and take in some dirt late model racing.
And the first person who says the cars should have stock bodies and front wheel drive will be tied to a chair and forced to watch 36 straight hours of econo stocks...

RCR to become NNWS Rental Car Agency…tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.4749442009-10-29T11:10:43ZLovey-Dovey
Townley to RCR?
John Wes Townley could be headed to Richard Childress Racing for the full 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series season behind the wheel of a Zaxby's-sponsored Chevy.
Pick no more than 4 drivers, top 2 picks count. Points are by the standard NASCAR points system as listed on http://www.racing-reference.info. You can go there yourself to see how you did or double check if you think I got your points wrong.
Make your picks before the start of the race. And don't edit them after the race is over. Remember, honour system!
NEW: You won't be able to pick the same driver in back-to-back races. So whoever you pick this weekend you can't pick any of them for the next. This should make it less likely that everyone picks the same drivers for every race.
If you do pick drivers in back-to-back weeks then not only will they not count for that race but the next race as well.
Bonus points:
1-2 finish - 25 points
Perfect picks (A 1-2 finish in which both drivers leads laps and one leads the most laps) - 50 bonus points.
1-2-3 finish - 100 points
1-2-3-4 finish - 200 points

The unofficial driver standings and an exciting championshiptag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.4747542009-10-27T13:42:05Z2009-10-27T13:46:50ZADDR
unofficial driver standings on Nascar's website (I find it odd that they keep track of the "what if" points) and wondered how many fans would be rooting for Johnson if the chase wasn't in effect: Johnson is only 80 points behind Stewart after Martinsville and rallying. Stewart, having dominated early in the season is trying to hang on to his lead with only a few races to go (It reminds me a lot of the recently decided F1 championship. Fans were adamant in cheering for the 3rd place Vettel or the 2nd place Barrichello to overtake the increasingly lackluster Button).
Ironic, isn't it, that the very Chase which Jimmie Johnson does so well is robbing him of the excitement of his charge to the front and alienating him from the fans?
