Which Driver Will Teach Kyle Bush?

May be...

  • whoever is supposed to be "schooling" kyle busch is going to have to catch him first. if he does need "teaching," it'd probably be his teammate tony - and it won't be by "getting him" as you are so obviously salivating over. it will be by talking to him, like jeff gordon did last week. and to his credit, kyle listened, apologized, and hopefully came away a little wiser.

    when will you quit hating? who's going to teach you? and how?
  • It's Busch. Probably Sadler or LaBonte. Maybe Jeff Burton.
  • instead of reading why dont you watch
  • My vote is not for stewie, they're teammates.

    denny hamlin, though you did not mention him, wouldn't be the one either, he is too busy trying to emulate Kyle to do him in.

    Harvick is out of that deal, not quite so aggressive like he used to be.

    Kahne is a wuss! It won't be him. Somebody he crosses unexpectedly, like Carl Edwards or Matt Kenseth....it would be funny to see Jeff lose his cool and get him LOL.
  • where is the old school drivers when you need them!!
    like Earnhardt Sr.
    Allison
    Yarbrough
    and the rest
    i think older brother needs to take you ger brother out to the woodshed
  • I'm going to agree with the folks who've been saying Harvick won't be the one. He's a bigger punk than either of the Busch brothers. I'd like to see Michael Waltrip invite him to his fancy house and tell him he could have the same if he changed his attitude and got some endorsements. Hmm, I see a series of NAPA ads coming on....
    By the way, not all the young guys are jerks - Dale Junior and Carl Edwards are competitive but still gentlemen.
  • I'm waiting for him to get into or cause Smoke to get in the wall or crash, then Joe Gibbs is gonna need a bigger hauler to get these two to make nice.. But its gonna be fun.. I'm not a Shrub hater, he just gets on my nerves, but even I can admit, he has made it interesting this yr, and I can also say the dude can drive..

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • I think Mike Waltrip will clean his pipes like he did taht #5 car.
  • It's Busch.
  • He's not a Bush, he's a Busch... not like it matters, I have the same name for both of them, "Idiot".

    Apparently his teammate did. Not like a lesson is going to work... it'll take millions of lessons before Busch behaves.
  • I don't like Kyle Busch's attitude either. If I had to pick which driver will get him I would say it would be his teammate Tony Stewart.
  • Kyle Busch thinks that if you're about to get lapped, you should just let the leader lap you.

    Excuse me for a moment.

    WHAT KIND OF F***ING BULLSH*T IS THAT?

    OK, I'm back. Anyway, he gave J. Gordon the finger after Charlotte because Gordon didn't let Busch lap him.

    Excuse me for another moment.

    WHAT KIND OF F***ING BULLSH*T IS THAT?

    Honestly, what kind of crap is that? All the Gibbs boys except for Tony seem to hate hard racing.
  • Maybe everybody will get together and kick butt. Now wouldn't that be fun.lol
  • Tony will blast him one way or another.
  • From recent articles I've read regarding Kyle Bush's behavior, it seems that most of the other drivers are NOT happy with him. They admit he is talented, but they hate his immature, cocky attitude.
    What might you predict?
    Who will get him? Will it be in Dover?
    I'm thinkin' Harvick, Kahne, or Stewart!
  • I don't see anyone doing that, noone is willing to risk losing points and having that come back to haunt them for not making the chase.
  • Typical hater turning "he" into "they" or respect into "cocky" and "immature."

    It was one person named Kevin Harvick that said he needed to respect veterans. Yah know? The guy with the biggest mouth in NASCAR that backs down everytime someone stands their ground against him like Juan Pablo, Kurt Busch and Greg biffle.

    Harvick has no grounds to tell anyone they need to respect a veteran. Just look at his first few years including a suspension.

    Did you just say Kahne? Bwaaaahhhaaa.. He's like 90 lbs wet dude.

    Later.
  • You may have read about BusCh, but I don't think you've heard him talk. Nobody's going to teach him anything. He already knows it all.
    One day, he might mess with the wrong guy on the wrong day at the wrong track. I'm patiently waiting. : )
  • F1 SAFETY CAR. When the safety car is in use does the driver have to drive flat out when not near the accident

    May be...

  • Is the Safety Car driver governed by strict rules about his speed when leading the F1 cars around the track or does he have to drive flat out when not near the accident. Who drives the car, is it a current or past racing driver?
  • Yes it is a racing driver - but the other cars are governed by his speed.
  • The safety car is driven by Bernd Maylander a former touring car driver.

    Here is a cool article about it:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorspo...
  • the safety cars idea of flat out is probably a crawl for an F1 car so I guess he has to drive flast out all the time.
  • Yes. The safety cars top speed is so much less than an F1 car it has to be driven flat out to try and keep the F1 cars brakes and tyres at an acceptable temperature for them to operate
  • Well the safety car has a top speed of about 186mph, so on the straight it doesn't hold the F1 cars up too much, but its in the corners, thats where it slows the F1 cars down.

    Personally, I think its stupid using a merc SL63, it would be better to use an SLR, the SL doesn't corner very well.
  • The safety car has a driver plus passenger who
    keeps his eyes open for signals and messages
    about state of course and weather.
    These cars are high powered and can easily cruse
    at 150 mph,so they can easily keep up with trailing
    F 1 cars that are just cruising behind it.
  • Do you think this is legit?

    May be...

  • I checked out the car on the website you provided..stats say car was driven by Richard Petty, but mileage says 1 mile...sounds like a ripoff to me..check the stats on this again
  • This is the "fine print" under "AS IS - NO WARRANTY"

    This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith.


    Now, I don't think that is a legal Ebay "release" for the seller...they cannot guarantee authenticity and then later in the listing say it's not! LOL!! However, that is EXACTLY what he is saying. At least based on what I read! I have sold quite a bit on Ebay, and while the items are nothing similiar - if you sell a fake item, the buyer will get their money back.
  • Unless if they completely rebuilt this car for the Winston 500, I would say its a fake. Richard crashed out of the 1988 Daytona 500.

    The 1 mile is there because the miles are unknown. Some folks put 1, some put 999999, just depends the person.

    Please see link.
  • Probably legitimate. It'd be hard to fake. But, the seller is not very experienced (only 106 feedback) so I wouldn't but it even if I had the money.

    As for the 1 mile, I am guessing they were required to enter mileage. Since there is no odometer, the seller likely just put a 1 there.
  • After watch ing the video that guy gave u the link too i severly doubt its the same car but still if they really are givin that car away it is still like a replica if not the real thing so it would still definately be cool to have
  • Whoa that's creepy but awsome in many ways! I would want that car so bad!
  • Ya, I think it is legit. You're really only paying for a paint scheme and an engine.
  • I would say yes
  • More than likely, I've seen several like this floating around in various places.
  • Some of these sites are under investigation, a man bought a car that Davey Allison was supposed to have driven, and paid 93,000.00 for it, he never got his car or his money back.

    when investigated, the bank account that the money was wired to, had been closed, and had been setup in a phony name.....

    he lost a lot of money........

    this happened in 2003, in PA
  • It has to be a fake. It also looks like a 96, not an 88.
  • look at the picture with petty standing by the drivers side of the car the one he signed thats not his name above the door

    are these actually pics of the car for sale or just generic pics for reference

    the 1 mile claim can be because its a new motor
  • http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pontiac-G...

    i have no plans of buying it or any thing just curious if thats auctually real seems too cheap for such an amazing thing to have
  • How different would NASCAR be if Bill Elliott had never raced?

    May be...

  • Rusty Wallace would have had 2 cups and not 1. Bill won the 1988 cup by a mear 24 pts.
  • Not the same i think it would still be as aggressive, But, without him NASCAR would not be the same.
  • It's hard to see some of the old timers go isn't it. Those guys made the sport. I guess things always change and now we have new faces. Pretty soon the new faces will be signing off and we'll be saying the same about them. Every driver changes the sport in some form or fashion.
  • The section at Atlanta Motor Speedway would have a different name and the highest speed record would be held by someone else.
  • Not sure, but I don't think the slogan "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville" would be around lol...

    Also, we might not even have restrictor plates had he not qualified at 212 mph at Talledega in the late 80s.
  • If Wild Bill had never raced ?? We wouldn't have this sissy restrictor plate racing... like we all have to endure now aday's.
  • I've often wondered if I would've become a NASCAR fan if Bill Elliott, my favorite of all time, had never raced.
  • Nascar would not have me as a fan,
    Im 21, and my Dad would always watch Nascar and he was a big Dale E. fan.. I watched the Mcdonalds Car go round and round and became interested in Nascar because I loved Mcdonalds.. I eventually liked other drivers but I will never forget those golden arches
  • I remember watching Bill early on. He and his brothers breaking into a sport that was soon becoming big money. They were underdogs then that ran away with the feild. 11 times in '85. Most people jumped on board then. I was already there pulling for the red head. I liked his cool and calmness on the track and his friendly personality off the track.

    I have often wondered weather or not his breaking the track speed record got NASCAR to thinking of a way to slow them down. LOL, I remember Bill saying that was fast and he wouldn't want to do that again. I think that when they saw that this little team out of Macon GA (Dawsonville) could outrun them hands down with what they brung someone had to find a way to even the playing feild. Many of the things Melling/Coors #9 brought to the tracks were innovative, From engine design to suspension. These things were used for years by other teams too. So I think they did help change the face of NASCAR just as many other teams and drivers have in the past and have since.

    I would love to see Bill win one more race! That would be soooo cool and even if jr was leading on the last lap and Bill was second I would have to say GO BILL! It wouldn't be just Bill winning, it would be the whole team and they really need it.
  • 30.5.08

    Does anyone else do this, like Hamlin does?

    May be...

  • Regardless of who does or does not say it there are a lot of drivers who thinks it. It should be true that lap down cars need to move over if they are clearly slower than the leaders. In the last 10 laps they pretty much have no chance getting back on the lead lap and winning the race any way.

    There use to be "gentlemen agreements" in NASCAR where drivers knew what was acceptable an unacceptable behavior on the track. That went out the window when teams booted the veteran drivers and brought in the "young guns".

    It's a learning curve for the new drivers that's why they get up there and make stupid remarks like they do defending themselves. They are all working on the rules that are not written, but understood.
  • i haven't heard anyone as blatant about his disdain for those he considers "lesser than" as hamlin does. i mean that comment - "we don't roll like that" in the cup series he made last week - i wasn't sure whether to laugh at him or feel sorry for him. he truly seems to think that because he managed to get to the cup series and is doing fairly well there that he is "entitled."

    not even rowdy says things that sound as dumb as some of what hamlin has said. i have heard many drivers over time talk about how they deserve more respect than, say, rookies or sometimes a chase driver will gripe about some non-chase driver ruining races for those who "have a chance to win a championship." most non-chase drivers accept that, as many of them have said they felt that once the chase begins, there's at least two separate races going on, and they race chase drivers a little differently - as they want don't want to be known as the driver who took away "so-and-so's" championship bid.

    but most of those drivers are talking about respect, not entitlement. denny thinks he's entitled, and someone should be assigned to him at all times to ensure that he pleads the fifth anytime someone sticks a microphone and/or camera in his face. i'm a jgr fan, but denny's attitude is far different than tony's and kyle's, and much less grounded in any sort of reality then theirs are. that's my not-so-humble answer/opinion.
  • "You are not in the Chase..." or "I am a Cup Driver and you aren't..." or "I have more points than you..." added to "...so YOU need to get out of MY way!"

    Does any other driver ever say things like this?

    I am shocked each and every single time I hear it because one, I think it's stupid and two, I don't think anyone else says stuff like this!

    It's like a couple of weeks ago at the Preakness where a jockey tried to block in Big Brown to keep him from winning and he ended up in last place. The owner of the horse was LIVID and called to apologize to Big Brown's owner and everyone else thought it was insane - at least the Joe Q. Public who commented and the paid commentors.

    Aren't these guys - and jockeys for that matter - paid to WIN, no matter what? And if they can't win, to get the best place possible, no matter what? I mean not at the safety of others...don't put someone's life in danger but other than that, get home the best you can?

    Isn't that the name of the game???
  • Alot of them have the I can race you hard, but you can't do it back mentality, there are those that will say these younger drivers have to earn the respect and that nothing is owed to them, on the same note, the veterans are getting the I've been doing this for so long, kiss my feet syndrome. Sad but true.

    Dianne, I would never give a thumbs down, don't believe in them, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it..
  • he has ruined his reputation as a virginian
    burtons and sadlers must be ashamed
  • I'd give trickem the 10 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    buckshot thanks for the reminder to everyone
  • For some reason he is trying to act like Tony and Kyle. It isn't working for him, he should go back to his old self. At least that was more tolerable. He is s decent driver but he shouldn't by no means think drivers should just let him pass them, that wouldn't be racing. I don't really know what happened to Denny this year, he has changed so much and not for the good either.
  • Hamlin needs to grow up and shut up, he is totally out of line, beginning to sound like a "crybaby' and 'i wanna be a BIG SHOT"
    He is not as GREAT as Tony or Kyle and never will ...he just in my opinion wants to be noticed!

    source: my opinion so go ahead and give me the thumbs..lol

    thank you corundog..I hope I did not sound like a basher..because I am not..just do not like his whiny ways, I apologize with sincerity

    Note to self: Am insane asking for thumbs..what me thinking..time to go take more medication.....lol
  • I remember last year during a Busch race in Kansas, Denny was racing Paul Menard for a top 10 position with 20 or so laps to go. Denny was trying to pass for about 2 or 3 laps, but could never make the pass. He could not pass on the high side, he could not pass on the low side. Finally, the broadcast gave a live feed of his communications with the spotter, and Hamlin was SCREAMING..."make him get out of me way!!!" For some reason, Denny expected Paul to give him a top 10 spot with 20 laps to go. Sure enough, when the caution came out, Denny gave him a shot in the back, trying to scare Paul.

    Something I never understood, is why someone who calls themselves a race car driver does not like to race. He just wants everyone to get out of his way and let him go to the front. Since that race, I have hated Denny. What a baby! The real reason Denny was mad at Brad was not because of the bump he received under caution, it was because Brad was racing him hard. This was not an isolated incident, we've seen this pattern of behavior from Denny for at least a year now.

    Let's not forget Richmond when he dominated the race, then got a flat, and parked his car on the race track just to draw the caution and stay on the lead lap. He must have thouht that he was entitled to stay on the lead lap for some reason. What a poor sport.

    If Denny wants to drive a race car, but does not like to race, he should defect to IRL.
  • F1 helmet cam?

    May be...

  • it would move too much..shake and such.
  • Wouldn't that be cool? First person perspective? Or would it be too dangerous?
  • The one on the airbox is great, I think as you get to see the driver, car and the view ahead.
    Im not sure if a helmet one would ba allowed for saftey reasons ( and probably aerodynamic reasons too).
  • Can someone explain to me why all the bashing of drivers are so vicious in this forum?Are we not Nascar Fans??

    May be...

  • we are anscar fans and as such regardless of YA...we need to remember that as fans of THE GREATEST SPORT, we do not have to like all drivers and we do not need to bash them...
  • I guess it's kinda like the Hatfields and the Mc Coys, feuding for so long no one remembers why.

    I have participated at times and many times I have quit bashing for a time only to open the forum and find threads disrespecting Dale Earnhardt Sr. I don't mean everyone has to like him but calling him vile names and saying he got what was coming to him isn't right. Jr gets blasted all the time, today it was gay talk and he is stupid. People engage in this then expect respect toward their driver when they ask a question concerning him.

    I don't think there is an answer.
  • Innocent tongue in cheek jabs here and there in good fun don't bother me, I've been guilty of it myself, it's the full on verbal assaults that I have a hard time with, and yes, some of them get pretty ugly. I've stated before, people should spend more time showing support for the drivers they do like and quit wasting their time hating on the ones they don't.
    And true nascar fans can respect the accomplishments of ANY driver, their favorite or not.
  • good question. i'm probably one of the most verbose people in this area, yet i think i can safely say that i have never seriously bashed a driver - ok, maybe one or two who shall remain nameless. or three. what i don't understand is not only do people just love to viciously bash drivers other than their own favorite, they love to bash the fans of that driver, or specific people on Y!A.

    wait, that's not totally true, i guess i do understand a little. this morning i was reading responses to a question about my favorite driver, and the vast majority of the responses were people not answering the question, but instead bashing the driver. and i too, being human, got hot under the collar and ranted just a wee little bit. or a little bit more. ok, a lot. anywho, i stepped over the line, someone called me on it, and i removed the lines someone might find offensive and apologized.

    i say this all not so you'll say "oh look at him, he's so caring and wonderful and compassionate" - because i'm not, not even close - not when it comes to my passion for the sport and for my favorite drivers. and when i see a bunch of people not even bothering to answer the question, but who launch right into the bashing, i start to see a little red. and when i see someone specific bashing or getting bashed, unless it's someone who is a regular and who i believe is joking or just being sarcastic, it really pi$$e$ me off too.

    so i guess that's why it gets so vicious in here.

    my point when i started, i think, was that it's tough to consistently stand up for your own driver (especially if he's my favorite driver) without taking some crap for it, and then NOT want to return the favor in kind. MOST of my answers have been as kyle-friendly as well as other-driver friendly as possible, without having to put down other drivers or their fans. heck i even made up the list of why people hate my driver and it got the best answer. so, can't we all just ... get along?

    does that help in answering the question?

    ps. hey miller lite, your driver sux!!! ;-) just kidding. thought i'd try to lighten it up a little, really. i'm a busch brothers fan to the core myself.
  • I think most the vicious attacks you read on here are the Trolls that just stop in to cause trouble, ya know just to stir the pot a little.

    I try not to trash or bash but every once in a while something someone says just gets the better of me and I feel the need to go off. It's just the passion I feel for my favorite team and sometimes I just can't help myself.

    I do think it is great we all like different teams. It's alright to have opinions that is what makes this world so great we have the right to voice our thoughts. Just because I don't like certain teams whoever they may be dosen't mean I don't like the folks that support them. One of my closest friends is a die hard Stewart fan (no offense anyone) and walking into his house is like walking into Stewart land right down to the Home Depot orange walls in the game room, the bobble heads, die cast cars you name it he's got it. Of course I make fun of it every chance I get but I don't fault him for who he likes. Instead I think it makes for some pretty interesting conversations. Sometimes heated but always enlightening.

    Yes I am a huge NASCAR fan, I am loyal and passionate when it comes to my fav's as everyone else is. That is why I like hanging out in here (and it passes time on slow days here at work) but I find it fun and entertaining to read everyone's opinions and to throw in my 2 cents where I see fit. I think most of the regulars do get along in here pretty well even with our differences.
  • I think there is a really great group of "regulars" on here. Some of us are passionate, and at times do talk a little smack. But, a lot of times it just teasing, and many times it really does make me smile or chuckle when it comes off as "ribbing".

    Then there are the people that come out of nowhere, or don't come on here very much at all and just post a question to intentionally get things started. Who really wins in a situation like that? Nobody, so why bother?!

    It's never going to change really. Last year it was Jeff and Jimmie bashing. There wasn't a day that went by that bashers were saying they were gay, Jimmie was a cheater, they were Hendrick twins, Hendrick cheated, NASCAR favored them, Jimmie was stealing the title from Jeff, etc. etc. This year it's Dale Jr. and Kyle Busch bashing. Next year it will be whoever else is in the top spots. It is hard when it's your favorite driver, but you must always consider the source before you get angry about it.

    As for the thumbs down. I really don't care. I figure some people give thumbs down for stupid reasons like not liking your name, your avatar, or just because they differ in opinion. I personally only give thumbs down to people who are rude to others. People who don't agree with me still make really good points or have thoughtful answers, so in my opinion don't deserve a thumb's down.

    Just my pennies on the subject.
  • Couldn't agree with you more!. Being a Junior fan here is like asking for the war to begin. I've been a NASCAR fan for a long time now. I like several of the drivers. Smoke is my second favorite. Senior was my favorite.I don't come on here often anymore because it 's just plain crazy. All one has to do is if you don't like the driver, overlook the nitpickin' and look at the question. There are a lot of great questions, like this one, on here but people just can't seem to answer the question without bashin' a driver. I think we should all show good sportsmanship and respect for others opinions. Peace n Smiles =o~}
  • Several words are

    Passion
    Childishness
    Dedication
    Loyalty
    Saga
    Tension
    Hurt Feelings
    Thrill
    Agony

    I've come to accept that all people can't control their emotions. Sometimes people need a little push in the right direction and then they do fine.
  • I'm with ya it gets kind of crazy here sometimes and when people don't like your driver look out!! heck I get thumbs down all the time sometimes just because I have Jr's # in my name!! (cute huh!!) I feel like to each their own and I've found that some of the best answers and questions I've seen on here come from people that are fans of a driver I don't really like but hey that doesn't mean that I don't like them, I think some people could show a little more respect, just because someone is a fan of someone they don't like doesn't mean their wrong!! Does this make any sense or am I babbling (sorry I'm really tired)
  • i agree with you. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of which driver they choose to root for. But on this site you are bashed and berated if someone doesn't like your driver. I personally like 99% of the drivers because of who they are off the track. They do so much for the communities around the country. All of the chairty work they do should be commended. Now i know there are some drivers that when they are on the track, don't race everyone very clean and fair but that is racing. I am a huge Dale Jr fan and i am intitled to choose whatever driver i want and i should be able to go onto this site and show my support for him with out having to read all the crap that others write. I think most of the time, the people that are showing their ignorance know nothing about racing.
  • It's not just Nascar, it's all sports, anything competitive. There will always be those people out there. Personally I think it's a bit immature. There are a lot of Nascar drivers out there who I just can't stand because of their attitudes on the track, but I don't go out of my way to bash them, unless it's with one of my friends who like them, and then it's just teasing. This situation will never be resolved as long as there are public competitive sports out there, but good question though.
  • hurt feelings
  • That is an excellent question. I wonder if people are bored or venting. My driver (Jeff Gordon) has been bashed, called gay and has been booed at for years so I guess I'm use to it. Why can’t we all just get along?
  • Don't know why, my driver is Kurt Busch & even though he does so much for the kids with the Victory Junction Camp and is a good driver everytime he come out he gets booed, I personally don't hate any other drivers out there, there are a few I don't care for but they do what they do much better than any of us out here could do. To me if they're good enough to be out there on that field, give em the respect they deserve. I do notice mostly the driver bashers are the Jr. Nation fans, Jr's a great guy but people give him way too much credit for thing he has yet to accomplish. Now watch after this comment someone's gonna bash my driver lol
  • It's called PASSION.

    Maybe if some people had as much passion for life as sports. The world would be a lot better.

    It happens in all sports.

    That's why everyone has a favorite team. A little trash talk is OK as long as it does not get rude.
  • i guess i tend to ignore the "questions" about bashing/bad mouthing other drivers...i will admit there are several drivers i'm not fond of and just because i'm a Nascar fan doesn't mean i have to like every driver.

    and the bashing is not just on this forum... go over to topix and see the loonies over there...
  • I actually agree with #18 Rowdy. I will admit I am guilty of talking smack against JGR, but I'm trying really hard to stop. I am part of Jr. Nation (here come the thumbs down..lol, jk) and a couple days ago, I started realizing that the racer's I talk smack about are also human. I'm 40 yrs. old you would think I would know better. I have just this year gotten into watching every race, so I get a little hot headed at times, which really isn't the kind of person I really am. I have even stopped talking as much smack on nascar.com. I agree, we should start respecting each other because we all have one thing in common, we love NASCAR :D I will really try to ease up on my Kyle & Denny smack talk.
  • Trash talk is OK, but when people get rude, that is not cool. Sure I did my share of trash talking, (the remark of Kyle Bush not growing a mustache, he has to do a comb over), that was a joke.

    But Like I said I respect ALL drivers, I may not like a certain one, but I respect them.I just did that remark because a bush fan made a rude comment on Jr in a question, and it was uncalled for. Some people are so obsessed with their driver that they don't see what is actually going on around them.
    I respect most of the fans, and most of everybody in this forum, (unless your a troll) but some can be just down right mean.
  • Well it's not my fault but I can't stand KURT BUSCH...jk lol

    Really though, I think almost all NASCAR drivers are good people, or at least have good qualities, but we only look at the outside and how they race on the track. But almost all of them are really nice and donate to charities and things like that...we just try to picture them as being mean people if we don't like them. I think as being fans we kind of create rivalries and try to find imperfections with the drivers in order to make ours more likeable...but all in all they have their good qualities and bad qualities just like everyone else.
  • Does anybody have a list of the frequencies used by NASCAR drivers this season?

    May be...

  • And do they use the same frequency at each track?
  • Some change weekly but most are the same. Jayski.com has most of the frequencies excluding the Radio and television network. You can pay a few dollars at racingelectronics.com and get all the updated frequencies.

    Have a nice night. I need to leave this freakshow and head to another down in Ybor city.

    Later!
  • 29.5.08

    Who would you like to have as your crew chief?

    May be...

  • Kevin "Bono" Manion or Dave Charpentier
  • Chad
    Wauters (NCTS - BBM #51)
    Rogers (NNS - JGR #20)
    Zippy
    Bootie
    Jimmy (Fennig)

    and if i could pull one from the past,

    Robbie Reiser
  • Chad Knaus.............hands down.
  • Zippy, definitely.
  • Larry McRyenolds FTW!!!
  • I would want Doug Richert, the guy who helped Dale, Sr. take the 1980 Winston Cup Championship in only his second year on the circut as a full time driver.
  • If you were a Nascar Sprint cup driver?
  • Chad Knaus or Tony Eury Sr.

    Chad is amazingly sharp but Tony Sr has some old school knowledge and a lot of common sense.
  • Zippy 100% no doubt about it!
  • today- Chad Knaus
    past- Jeff Hammond

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • Frankie Stoddard
    ZIPPY
    or Matt Borland
  • Tony Eury,Sr. or Zippy
    What a great combination of old school & new stuff. Since I can only pick one, I'd take Zippy.
    Have a great day all! :))
  • Chad Knaus or Steve Latarde (I think that's how you spell it)

    They are very smart and the wins that Steve helped Jeff get last year, (the rain shortened race at Pocono last year for example) they are both great!!
  • Ray Evernham-
    I realize he isn't a crew chief, but neither am I a driver
    but he was and had a good batting average.
  • Chad Knaus! He is so bright and has such a talent. Hopefully he has learned his lesson about playing in the grey areas. It will be sad if years down the road when he retires, if that is what he is most remembered for.
  • Robbie Reiser !!!
  • I'd go with Chad Knaus.
  • Kevin Hamlin
  • I would have to go with Chad Knaus too, the guy is pretty smart and not afraid to take some crazy chances either.
  • Probably Chad...
    Or NO! Snake would be my crew chief!!!!!
  • Zippy!!
  • Chad Knaus seems to be with the program, so I would pick him.
  • Great question ,Chad Knaus.
  • Chad Knaus.
    He's a genius!
  • Larry Mac.
  • Booty Barker or Chad Knaus. Both are great so it would be a hard choice.
  • I would want Booty Barker. I think he is a great crew chief and maybe even better than Chad Knaus, Chad Knaus gets caught cheating too many times anyway. Not like Booty doesn't cheat though, look at this week.
  • Is Bernie secretly trying to get Mosley kicked out?

    May be...

  • Secretly?

    Max is the major person blocking "the commercial rights holder" from taking over full control of the sport - including making the rules - from the FIA...Bernie would love to see the back of him. No Max, no united front... which would mean more power (and commercial potential) for Bernie...

    Have a look: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/22052008/5...
  • No, he is publicly trying to kick Mosley out, not secretly.
  • Somebody needs to kick both of them out!
  • According to Mosley, Bernie wants to oust him to take control of the sport.
    According to Ecclestone, Max is trying to hold onto his position and making this stuff up.
    You can choose to believe what you like.
    Max's replacement would be appointed by the FIA, not Ecclestone so I see no reason why Max is the eternal truth.
    He's been criticized a lot by his detractors but he appears to have had a fruitful term on many fronts.
    He's not irreplaceable though.
    It's just that his replacement needs to be competent enough to fill his shoes and wary of any sex scandals...
    I don't see how Bernie can take control of the sport and kick the FIA out unless he has control over his replacement.
  • Best place at Monza?

    May be...

  • I agree with the pit straight. Try to get a place near the end of it. That's usually the best place to see overtaking. Near the end of the back straight is a good place too.
  • Is it better getting a seat on the pit straight or one of the corners?

    I know Monzas the fastest circuit but I don't know whether to get a seat at one of the corners so I can actually recognise the cars.
  • Go for the pit straight. The cars may pass by at full speed but you get to see them come in and out of the pits at the speed limit, you get to see the pit crew in action and you get to see the start of the race.
  • Will gas prices affect how you follow Nascar?

    May be...

  • go to 2 a year so no its not going to effect it
  • Oh you know there will be dummies sacrificing the electric bill and telephone for a good weekend at the track.
  • I don't get to go to the races as I am working all the time but I think if people want to go they are going to they are just going to have to pick and choose the ones they go to and crunch some numbers
  • I will still go to the talladega race in october every year as I have been for the last 5 years
  • it's not gas prices that determine it - it's how hot it is around labor day. the fontana race is not that exciting in the winter, but it's definitely not worth it at 140 degrees trackside.
  • I try to make at least 2 races a year. 2006 we went to 4, last year we went to 2, and this year we have already been to 2. Planning one more I think, probably Richmond in the fall if I can find tickets. I usually stick to the tracks I can get to in less than 4 hours i.e. Bristol, Martinsville, Charlotte. Gas prices really haven't affected my NASCAR life....yet!
  • Nope. I don't have a local track. The closest one is Vegas. So I'll be watching Jeff stay in the chase from the comfort of home.
  • Smokey !! I'm about 12mi. from the trac... here in McDonough, Ga. and I know this BIG-BLOCK i'm driving???
    Is gonna take my T-shirt money, that I'll usually buy at the race
  • My tickets are already bought for both N H races ( about 41/2 hour drive one way for me) and also for the August Bristol Race About 16 hour drive one way, the price of gas will not stop me from going.
  • I'm leaving for Dover tomorrow, as usual every year. Given the price of the tickets ($100+ each), hotel for the weekend ($150 per night) and food, a tank of gas is almost insignificant.
  • hahahaha this is a funny question.
  • Not really living out here in Calif, I normally have to fly to most races.. #18 Rowdys World, Fontana race is end of August this, and its suppose to be even hotter than last yr..Gas will be close to $5.00 a gallon by then, theres already places out here where premium is hitting $4.59... Gas Pricies is not going to put a stop on me going to races, but it sure has limited my driving for trips I do not need.. I filled up my car yesterday, use to take $18.00 now its $26.00, but it could be worse the guy in front of me $172.00 to fill up his Suburban, and he said it wasn't even empty...OUCH!!

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • No. I only go to the Bristol races. The track is very close to my house so I will still go.
  • Will you go to more or less races in the future?
  • Is the kid from the Geico Commercials actually Mike Wallace's Nephew?

    May be...

  • Warren Wallace, Yes he is his nephew. As is Rusty's and Kenny's.

    Just don't get to close, or he'll put you in the wall.
  • No he isn't. They have said on Trackside several times he isn't. His last name isn't even wallace.
  • yes--and Rusty's and Kenny's!!
  • yes. Steven wallace. He races in Arca series.
  • ***EDIT: no he's not. he's an actor. found this finally:

    his name is eddie heffernan, and he's from richmond.

    here's the story, released only this month after months of secrecy:

    "The toughest, coolest, most ruthlessly ambitious driver in motorsports was born in Richmond, resides in Chicago, doesn't have a driver's license and is more familiar with the nuances of Hamlet than those of Denny Hamlin.

    Meet Lauren Wallace, the fictitious pre-adolescent pepperpot whose quest to replace distant cousin Mike Wallace behind the wheel of the No.7 GEICO Racing Camry is the premise for a series of popular and wickedly funny television commercials created for GEICO by the Richmond-based Martin Agency.

    Many believe Lauren to be a flesh-and-blood prodigy who one day will shove opponents out of his way on the high banks at Daytona. That perception is a tribute to the work of Eddie Heffernan, a 14-year-old actor who has breathed honest-to-goodness life into Lauren's voice, mannerisms and ill-concealed contempt for his adult cousin."

  • on the commercials, he claims to be his cousin, not his nephew. and his name is loren, not warren. i got that straight from geico, i emailed them about it. i personally don't think the kid is related, i think he's just an actor, but i could be wrong about that part. but the one thing i am positive about is the name. it's loren.

  • on the commercials, he claims to be his cousin, not his nephew. and his name is loren, not warren. i got that straight from geico, i emailed them about it. i personally don't think the kid is related, i think he's just an actor, but i could be wrong about that part. but the one thing i am positive about is the name. it's loren.
  • Check out this link. There is lots of info there.

  • Is the awesome kid that is always talking about putting people in the wall mike's nephew?
  • Is the kid from the Geico Commercials actually Mike Wallace's Nephew?

    May be...

  • i duno but those commercials always annoyed me.
  • On Mike Wallace's wikipedia page it says he is. However, anyone can edit that stuff so I wouldn't believe it. So he probably isn't
  • ***EDIT: no he's not. he's an actor. found this finally:

    his name is eddie heffernan, and he's from richmond.

    here's the story, released only this month after months of secrecy:

    "The toughest, coolest, most ruthlessly ambitious driver in motorsports was born in Richmond, resides in Chicago, doesn't have a driver's license and is more familiar with the nuances of Hamlet than those of Denny Hamlin.

    Meet Lauren Wallace, the fictitious pre-adolescent pepperpot whose quest to replace distant cousin Mike Wallace behind the wheel of the No.7 GEICO Racing Camry is the premise for a series of popular and wickedly funny television commercials created for GEICO by the Richmond-based Martin Agency.

    Many believe Lauren to be a flesh-and-blood prodigy who one day will shove opponents out of his way on the high banks at Daytona. That perception is a tribute to the work of Eddie Heffernan, a 14-year-old actor who has breathed honest-to-goodness life into Lauren's voice, mannerisms and ill-concealed contempt for his adult cousin."

  • No he isn't. They have said on Trackside several times he isn't. His last name isn't even wallace.
  • no he is not
    he's to smart to be a wallace
  • Warren Wallace, Yes he is his nephew. As is Rusty's and Kenny's.

    Just don't get to close, or he'll put you in the wall.

  • Will there be any more Grand Prix races this year?!?!?!?

    May be...

  • Apparently u don't follow F1 do u? There are 12 more races to go for the '08 season. Next race is the Canadian GP in Montreal on June 8th.
  • 8th June - Canada
    22nd June - France
    6th July - Britain
    20th July - Germany
    3rd August - Hungary
    24th August - European GP - Valencia
    7th September - Belgium
    14th September - Italy
    28th September - Singapore (night race)
    12th October - Japan
    19th October - China
    11th November - Brazil
  • i can see by such a silly question that your not a F1 fan...the only reason i am answering this is to get points..
  • I think nobody has answered because it seems like such a stupid question, no offence, but they wouldn't really just have 6 races would they?

    www.formula1.com - Look at the list of countries, thats where all the races are.
  • Val is right but the Brazil Grand prix is on 2nd November
  • Who really thinks Danica has a burning desire to race NASCAR?

    May be...

  • I read a answer to a question where some genius said she would be in NASCAR but at her height and weight it makes less than no sense. Plus why would she want to come over here and play second string to JR, when if the new united IRL takes off Post Winston NASCAR did it will be DANICA NATION. Its a new ballgame and most of the players are from the US now.
  • hell yeah! you can get the girl out of the trailer park but aint noway to get the trailer park outta the girl!
  • She wants to race where she is succesful, and thats in IRL. She'd suck at NASCAR because even the CoT has no downforce compared to the IndyCars, but F1 is a possibility
  • i think she would like to try it and I'm sure she could get a car for maybe 4 or5 races but i don't think she would ever completely switch shes to good in an Indy car
  • I think she is happy where she is. IRL really needs her. Besides does NASCAR need another driver who could blame Tony Stewart for something going wrong at the end of a race?
  • i dont really think she does. and if she does she will probably suck like sam hornish or franchiti
  • Danica's "burning desire" for NASCAR comes up every few years coincidentally about the same time as her contract negotiations. She has said she doesn't want to work that hard meaning--- "I would like to but 36 races is too much" forget it guys she ain't comin'
  • If she wants a car that's sturdy enough that it doesn't get destroyed from a simple pit road bump, then she'll strongly consider NASCAR.


    However, if she's more interested in only running a few races a year and having lots of time in the spotlight, she'll stay put in the IRL.
  • FIRST!!!....
    She better get used to ''Pit Road Mishaps''
  • I think she sees the $$$. She loves the IRL and that's where she really wants to be. If she wanted to be in Nascar, she wouldn't have even signed with AGR (her current IRL team).
  • Not me. Better question: Who really cares what Danica's burning desires are?

    Go Jr.>>>>
  • I have a burning desire for Danica, does that count??? And, I do not think she wants to race NASCAR, I think she uses it has a ploy to get a larger contract.
  • 27.5.08

    What is the penalty for entering pit lane while it is closed?

    May be...

  • Tail end of the longest line. Kyle and Jr both did that the other night, but they were already going to be in the back of the pack anyhow, so they took the penalty without really losing positions.
  • I noticed Kyle Busch enter the pits on Sunday and it appeared that he did not lose any positions.
  • depends on if nascar in a bad mood

    in 2006 tony went on pit road when it was closed he went a lap down and was fined 1000 dollars. but normally you go to the tail end of the longest line... or sometimes go down a lap
  • restarting at the end of the longest line
  • Kyle did enter pit road when it was closed and did receive the penalty of starting at the tail end of the lead lap as did Jr. However Kyle did NOT pass safety vehicles or speed down pit road more than once as did Jr who received no penalties for OBVIOUS SAFETY violations. Nascars double standards will catch up with them soon.
  • going to the tail end of the longest line
  • He had to go to the back of the longest line, just like Jr did for speeding. Kyle raced his way back up front.
  • I know the instance you are speaking of and becasue Kyle had just been given the Lucky dog and he was already the last car on the lead lap, he didnt have anything to lose. The penalty is tail end of the longest line but that was his position before he went to pit lane.
  • Tail end of the longest line is the penalty. I am not sure of the instance you are referring to because I was not watching on TV (I was there) and was completely focused on Kasey.
  • How many MALE drivers are there in the IRL that have won less than one race in the last 3 years?

    May be...

  • My point is shes really no better than all those male drivers thats never won or only won once or twice. So why does she get all the media attention? You answered that when you said shes hot. But honestly, her body is like her driving. Just very very average. And being competitive and just being a jacka$$ is a thin line. And shes on the jacka$$ side of the line right now.
  • FDub is right on 100%.
  • People always give Danica crap...saying she never wins (before the Japan race 3 weeks ago)...but how about all those MALE drivers that have not won in the last 3 years

    she is HOT, she is competitive and she brings attention and $$$$ to the IRL...GO DANICA..win the Milwaukee MIle!
  • There are several male drivers who have yet to win a race, but for me, the most notable one is Vitor Meira, the 2nd place finisher in this year's Indy 500.

    He has been 2nd 8 times now, and two of those 2nd place finishes have been at Indy. He's got more talent than Danica does, for sure, and it's just a matter of time now before he wins one....He's WAY overdue.

    Yes, Danica won her race in Japan on fuel strategy...but there are SO MANY instances where her male counterparts have won that way, and nobody says s#!t about that. She won fair and square....as they say.....Scoreboard!
  • Ok so what place was Tony in when he got a flat tire? please explain I missed it.?

    May be...

  • Tony was 1st with 2 laps to go and a 6 second lead when his tire blew. It sucked I thought Tony had it in the bag!!
  • Tony Rules!
  • first
  • tony was in first with about 2 laps togo when his tire went down
  • he was in 1st place. he had a 5 and a half second lead but he was on very old tires and had a flat. he finished 18th
  • leading the Coke 600, so sad.......he was robbed again by Goodyear!
  • He was 1st when his tyre gave way.
    For Smoke fans frustration.
    For Kasey fans jubilation.
  • he was leading
  • he was in first and essentially coasting to a win, with over a five second lead. but having to pit again (he had just pitted about ten laps earlier for gas), gave kasey the lead and put tony well out of contention.
  • He was leading with less than 10 to go, his right front blew and put him to the back. I thought he had it in the bag, I would have won the work pool if he had of. Darn it.
  • First
  • he was first ,

    look see he hadnt taken new tires for like 70 laps , on two pit stops he took no tires , zippy saw no tire problems the whole day , and took the risk , while kasey took two tires, tony with two laps to go , cut a tire

    tony rules
  • he was 1st with 5 second lead over over kasey a few more laps to go then he and a couple other driver got flats others ran out of gas ,kasey passed tony for the lead ,white flag ,checkered and then he won (a few more flats more than likely , i wouldn't know i was yelling and cheering)
  • he had almost a 6 second lead over second place with 2 laps left.
  • 1st place...With under 10 to go...
  • Is ''Cup'' racing as boring as some say??....?

    May be...

  • i agree that they usually keep focused more on the top ten or fifteen, but recently i feel like they've been spending quite a lot of time looking back at battles for positions in the high teens or even in the twenties. i know that as i'm usually upset that they're not showing what's going on up front with my boy rowdy, and the others i root for who run there most of the time, like junior, burton, stewart, edwards, etc. but if someone is checking out from the field, whoever that has been over the past couple of races, they definitely spend more time than they used to watching battles farther back.

    now truck racing, there they definitely work hard at bringing you the action happening all over the track all the time.

    just my opinion.
  • if you delve into the technical aspect of the sport it is never boring. Unfortunately the people who find boredom in a race can't relate to the depth of that aspect and need more visual stimulation to carry their attention between long green flag runs. That's where an experienced announcer is good to listen to. It is never boring to me because that's the only time I devote to sitting around and being a spectator. Sometimes I think "ball games" are boring because it has no technical applications. And as a technician and as a former street racer, I do find ball games slightly immature and boring on an intellectual level. No form is motorsports are ever boring to me.
  • It does get boring(very seldom) watching the same 3 or 4 cars lap after lap when the leader is 5 seconds in front of second place. Thats the good thing about going to one in person if you can, you can watches battles all over the track. The way its going there is not going to be anyone able to afford to go and watch one(at least for me anyways). Dont get me wrong I love all forms of motorsports.

    I agree fluffy, some decent announcers would be nice.
  • The TV producers and Nascar want The #88 on TV at all times. Even if he is in 20th running 20 seconds behind the leader. That's the facts. I watch the races every week and every lap except for the commercials. I know that because I'm a diehard fan. I'm not bashing Junior the driver or his fans but that's the way Fox goes about their Nascar broadcast.
  • I think both are possible at times.
    The cameras do focus too much on the lead pack all of the time. VERY rarely is the entire field running single file.

    But, with the COT, there is less action up front, making the races less exciting.
  • i think the all star race was the most boring race iv seen in awhile i thought everybody was going to get r done and let the rough side drag an beat an bang there way to the lead for 1 mill but no they just sat there like they was scared to make a move like oh man i got dirt on my car now i cant lead
  • I think most of the racing this year has been pretty exciting. You want to see a boring race, watch a replay of the 2000 Daytona 500.
  • Yes they do....Also way too many yellows and stupid comercials with nascar drivers plugging their products..
  • I know what you're talking about. I sat in the Fontana grandstands for several years, and watched 3-4 wide racing all day. (man, I love watching race cars go 3 & 4 wide!!) Then I had to hear how boring Fontana was from people who watched it on TV.

    One year I stayed home and watched it on TV, and the only thing they showed was Stewart with a 10 second lead....no wonder people think Fontana is boring! That's why I always tell someone they need to see a race live to be a race fan.
  • It does get a little old watching the same 5 cars throughout the entire race, it should be spread out a little more, the excitement isn't always up front..
  • Snake, I think this is the problem..the announcers forget that there are 43 drivers in the race, we only hear about the big names, and the ones right there up front....The guys on sirius radio are much more interesting, they talk about every single driver, yes the leader gets the most attention bu they do not forget that theres 42 other drivers out there, but then they probably do not have the TV expense to do a race..God I wish for one race they would let the guys on sirius radio call it, its all racing no BS and no digger, just the racing facts..We have so many computers going at my place normally during a race, but I listen to those great guys on MRN & PRN they know how to call a race..Geez they actually talked about Travis Kvavil, Paul Menard, Kenny Schrader, Michael Waltrip, not that these guys are big Cup guys but how much TV time did these get???? But if you ain't out front & a Big name the TV guys could careless..

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • Or... Do the T.V Producers keep the camera's, WAY !! to focused on the lead pack? I know from experience... you can find 3-4 battles going on,at any one time.. all thru a race !

  • I know what you're talking about. I sat in the Fontana grandstands for several years, and watched 3-4 wide racing all day. (man, I love watching race cars go 3 & 4 wide!!) Then I had to hear how boring Fontana was from people who watched it on TV.

    One year I stayed home and watched it on TV, and the only thing they showed was Stewart with a 10 second lead....no wonder people think Fontana is boring! That's why I always tell someone they need to see a race live to be a race fan.
  • The TV producers and Nascar want The #88 on TV at all times. Even if he is in 20th running 20 seconds behind the leader. That's the facts. I watch the races every week and every lap except for the commercials. I know that because I'm a diehard fan. I'm not bashing Junior the driver or his fans but that's the way Fox goes about their Nascar broadcast.
  • Snake, I think this is the problem..the announcers forget that there are 43 drivers in the race, we only hear about the big names, and the ones right there up front....The guys on sirius radio are much more interesting, they talk about every single driver, yes the leader gets the most attention bu they do not forget that theres 42 other drivers out there, but then they probably do not have the TV expense to do a race..God I wish for one race they would let the guys on sirius radio call it, its all racing no BS and no digger, just the racing facts..We have so many computers going at my place normally during a race, but I listen to those great guys on MRN & PRN they know how to call a race..Geez they actually talked about Travis Kvavil, Paul Menard, Kenny Schrader, Michael Waltrip, not that these guys are big Cup guys but how much TV time did these get???? But if you ain't out front & a Big name the TV guys could careless..

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • if you delve into the technical aspect of the sport it is never boring. Unfortunately the people who find boredom in a race can't relate to the depth of that aspect and need more visual stimulation to carry their attention between long green flag runs. That's where an experienced announcer is good to listen to. It is never boring to me because that's the only time I devote to sitting around and being a spectator. Sometimes I think "ball games" are boring because it has no technical applications. And as a technician and as a former street racer, I do find ball games slightly immature and boring on an intellectual level. No form is motorsports are ever boring to me.
  • It does get a little old watching the same 5 cars throughout the entire race, it should be spread out a little more, the excitement isn't always up front..
  • i think the all star race was the most boring race iv seen in awhile i thought everybody was going to get r done and let the rough side drag an beat an bang there way to the lead for 1 mill but no they just sat there like they was scared to make a move like oh man i got dirt on my car now i cant lead
  • 26.5.08

    Who thought the finish was exciting last night?

    May be...

  • Good race, good finish. I'm glad Stewart didnt win. I'm glad Busch didnt win. I'm upset Gordan and Jr stole top 5 finishes but a good entertaining race it certainly was.
  • Excellent race. Exciting finish. BUT my script would have had Jimmy not blowing up, Junior not hitting the wall, Tony not blowing a tire, and Kasey not taking 4 OR 5 SECONDS for 2 seconds worth of fuel.
  • tony Stewart got screwed, once again. And I keep noticing in his commentary he's full of squat. He practically says the opposite of what he means. Just a little bit of covert hostility. I don't know who he's trying to fool, but it's obvious when he refuses interviews after a race.Sure, he's all happy and jacked up on adrenaline when he wins, but he still talks a lotta fluff. Tony is one of the best showmen in the sport, but his commentary is right up there with Juan Pablo Montoya.
  • I did! I was sad for Kasey when pit stops cycled through and he was that far back. Then Tony had issues and I was praying for no cautions or problems. I don't think my stomach could handle attending another race any time soon! Waiting for Kasey to take the checkered two weeks in row was so nerve racking!!
    But, it was great!
  • I gave a standing ovation when Tony got a flat, and it became apparent that Kasey was going to win. I know it's tough on you Stewart fans out there, but those kinds of finishes is what keeps me watching this sport.
  • ME!
    I thought it was very exciting, but I would have thought that even if he had a 20 second lead over the only other car left on the track to win the race.
    But in this case, regardless of who won, it was a great finish.
    Looks like all the disappointed fans from last week got the exciting race they were looking for, and the same winner!
  • Would've been more exciting if Blaney had stayed out and if Jr's penalty hadn't been uplifted.
  • I thought so! last 3 laps like 5 drivers hit the wall.I really thought Tony was gonna win it!!!
  • Would have been better if junior won... but atleast kyle busch didnt win.
  • What do you think about Humpy Wheeler and Kyle Busch?

    May be...

  • Racing superstition is that $50 bills are bad luck, and those who believe in that stuff will have no part of one. Kyle was not being disrespectful, and I found the whole thing quite entertaining.
  • "Humpy" is a funny guy.
    and watch the comments about the MoPars
    KASEY KAHNE IN THE #9 DODGE!
  • you need to get with the program
  • It sounds very disrespectful of a man that's been in the sport since Kyle Busch was wearing diapers.

    Also Kyle will never be Dale Sr. and that's a heck of a way to gain popularity to try and compare him to the great Dale Sr in one breath but bad mouth Dale Sr in every other breath the way some fans do. (not related to the question)
  • Maybe Kyle is his own person and doesn't kiss all the butt most drivers do.

    My Uncle compares Kyle to a younger Dale Earnhardt Sr.

    GO KYLE BUSCH!!!
  • Well that backfired on yah like a 72' Dodge Dart. That wasn't good dirt digging.
  • What's wrong with you?
  • the 50 dollar bill thing was a joke. NASCAR drivers are a superstitious bunch, and a $50 bill is considered bad luck, and Humpy knew this. They all had a good laugh about it.

    Humpy did the same thing to Dale Jr, and Jr rejected the $50 bill too. Maybe you should explain to Jr that he is not the King of Racing as well.
  • Humpy signed a 50 dollar bill and handed it to Kyle Busch for a keepsake and Kyle told him that he didn't want it. Humpy then handed it to one of his crew members and Kyle told him not to take it and put in back in Humpy's pocket. What is with this kid? I think someone should explain to him that he is not King of Racing just because he has won a few races.
  • I think Kyle's problem is his arrogance. While a talented driver he lets his ego get in his way as did Kurt a few years back. Being a JR fan and not being happy with the way he raced JR a few weeks back I have felt and still do that he is too aggressive on the track. Don't race every lap like its the last. If he gets his attitude under control and starts racing more respectively then I think people will change their attitudes but until then he is an outsider. I commend Kurt for changing (even though he had some assistance) he is a more personable guy when he talks. Kyle has the I'm the best so kiss off attitude and he needs to change or there will be issues later in his career
  • Why do people say Matty's time is up?

    May be...

  • Nope Matt's time is not up, he had a pretty good race yesterday..he's on his way back, I'm sure he will win a race before the yr is over..

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • because he drives a Ford?
  • I've heard nobody say that. His position in the points is because of rotten luck far more so than poor performance. He would be solidly in the top 5 or top 10 if he had a normal amount of luck so far. And he has a new crew chief. This year is shaping up just like 05 when he got solid in the summer, made the chase and finished high in the points.
  • Matty will come on strong to make the chase. His time is now.
  • This year he hasn't shown that same consistency and drive that he's known for. I doubt he'll make the Sprint for the cup this year, but anythings possible.
  • Matty Kenseth jumped four spots in the Sprint Cup points standings after finishing 7th in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway near Charlotte. Kenseth currently sits 16th in points, just 190 points out of 12th place and a berth in the Chase.
  • He just hasn't been able to work the car like he used to...not being mean i have nothing against Kenseth.
  • I don't know why people are saying that but you can't count Matt out of anything until it is Completely over so I ain't counting him out until the last race before the chase if he ain't in the top 12 BUT I think he is going to get in the top 12 Real soon!! Matt is an AWESOME Driver! One of the best out there so he has the ability to get in the top 12! I don't think he is out of it yet!
  • I guess it's because most people are Junior fans, who can't get behind a winner. Oh, and to normal fans his name is Matt, and not Matty. Matty is a nickname used by his closest friends and family for him.
  • Would it be safe to say?

    May be...

  • the end of tonights race was amazing all the cut tires with 2 to go and no caution they knew jr was to close on fuel
  • this weekend will be d@mn tough to top. now i've just got to survive the post-race depression, which is always worse after exciting races...
  • Almost, but the race next week at Monster Mile, is always best, since there seems to be more flare ups and Kyle seems to like to get in trouble there, every year, remarks or rubbing and bumping......

    but the Monster Mile takes care of most of the depression, who has time to be depressed when you are watching all the cars hit the wall..

    see ya at the races next week fellas
  • It was an amazing race weekend. I don't think that there were three races all of last year that were as good as the three we saw this weekend. You are dead on, it would be near impossible to beat it.
  • Oh, these last two weeks will be hard to beat, IMO!!!! I got to see my driver go to VL twice in a row in person! There was good racing too, but I wouldn't care if it was awful!!!
    I am so estatic, it is 1:41 here, I've been home almost 2 hours and I am WIDE awake!!! And smiling!!!
  • that this weekend's racing will be almost impossible to beat? The Craftsman trucks, Nationwide and Cup races all had great racing and exciting finishes. Too bad they can't all be like that...
  • Rob... We have the ''MONSTER MILE'' next week !!
    Alot of tempers flare there??
  • complacency sucks
  • Next, the TRIPLE CROWN!!!!


    GOOOOOOOOOOO J Gordon!
  • It can be beat. I thought the Truck race was by far the best...but I love it when unpredictable stuff happens no matter what series it is.This weekends racing has been great though, and it's great to see some rivalries building and makes you want to keep watching to see what will happen next week. If anything, it will just give us more stuff to feud over. Dover should be interesting.
  • Nascar - who is driving the car with the cerial cartoon guys ?

    May be...

  • Can Jr Come Back?

    May be...

  • He finished in 5th, Jr. haters.
  • He's done for this week.
  • when i saw jr hit th wall i was like man no no no no but hes still on the lead lap and his car might be good still any 1 think he might be able to come back for a top 5 or a win if his car is ok
  • No he just scraped the wall again
  • doubtful. he's not making up any time.
  • He's toast.
  • No, he just hit it again. I can't believe it, but, he managed a 5th place finish! Talk about LUCK!!!
  • No.
  • definitely he's already up to 20th from the back. theyll get a caution in a few and he can get some work on the car and maybe gain some more position off the pit. he'll get at least in top 10. i really hope its either 1. jr 2. kahne or 1. kahne 2. jr


    i think the person below me is jealous cuz her driver just aint as good as jr. jr is the man. and he did get punished for speeding. he's just so good he's pulled up to 20th.

    yes..now he's up to 6th

    wooo hoooo kahne won it, and jr in 5th. great race!!!
  • sorry but jr cant race his way out of a paper bag. luckily he was able to save fuel to get a top 5. if he was really any good he wouldnt have drove into the turn to hard and ruined his chance to win. we all know it wasnt a flat tire, he just can't drive even with the best cars
  • no he cant win
  • Keep the faith man he can come back.
  • Not unless there is some kinda big mess up at the front some where, come on Jimmie, bring it home for chevy..

    GO Dale Jr & Hms
  • of course dude.
    i just wish he could somehow beat kyle busch (rowdy)
    even if its in the final lap
  • With this most recent caution Jr. can finally fix the car to make it the best it can be. I think he can get a top ten or if he is really lucky top five. Although no win for Jr. tonight.
  • hopefully a top ten...man he was running so good too..and was leading the most laps of the race...dang it!

    TOP 5!!! CAN'T COMPLAIN
  • Nascar helped all they could !!!
  • Doubtful for him to finish inside the top 10. His current speeds are too slow.

    Good for him. He proved me wrong. Great effort Jr.
  • I wish he could, but his car is not running very well right now, lets just hope, Kyle gets knocked out but not hurt, just put out of the race.

    Jr is in 20th place, he may not even finish in the top 10

    yes he was running really good......

    we can just keep our fingers crossed at this point.
  • ignore the time this comment was written thats a mistake. i predict he will finish fifth. :)
  • Nascar wants him to win. Why do you think Nascar did not hold him in the pits for speeding , TWICE. But since JR is now the New king of nascar they will NEVER punish him for anything. I bet he wins the race because All the other drivers will be told to MOVE over for your King.
  • no he cant come back he just got a tire violation on this stop
  • Seems like we need a 4 foot rule, if something like ducktape is hanging off the back of your car 4 foot then you get a black flag. There was pieces falling off the car the last 10 laps of the race...
    And yes I do think so, what do you think the duck tape was holding on, his buttox? His back bumper was just a flopping in the wind... Thx Jr...
