It's 'dega and this happens when you are blocking, he got some help from behind with Ragan, but its 'dega, and alot of the time somebody ends up on their lid, it was Kenseth this yr, and he walked away from it, goes to show you a big bad lucking crash and the driver walks way, thank god for these safe cars today. Hope Katie is okay she is like 6 months pregnant or more.
GO Dale Jr & JR Motorsports. It was Matt Kenseth's fault. He tried to block Kyle and got out of line and tried to fall back in line a lost enough speed that he got tapped from behind. Just another result of blocking.
I was hoping Matt was okay. He was leaking something upside down and it was on fire. It was scary. That fire was upsetting as the car goes sliding into the grass... Just really glad Matt is ok. In fact, Matt said he was glad his car landed right side up! Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a race. it was huge. Oh that was a scary wreck! I was VERY happy to see David Ragan win though! I am really glad Matt was able to walk away from that wreck! I saw it, wow! glad he's okay, but he wasn't too kind to David Ragan in his interview. Yes, there was an interview, and he said that after he came back down to the bottom groove, David tried to bump-draft him, but he was still turning and you can't hit a guy while he's turning. From my perspective, though, it just looked like Kenseth lost momentum by turning the car a little bit, David was still in the throttle, didn't have enough time to react, and hit Kenseth, spinning him around. Just one of those racing deals to me.
CONGRATS, David Ragan!!! What a move he put on Newman. On the 25th anniversary of his fathers' nasty wreck in an ARCA race, and at the same track, David gets his first NASCAR win. Glad Matt is okay!!!
I was recording the race for a few laps... stopped before the wreck xD So I MISSED IT!!! kyle busch caused it. I am just glad that Kenseth is alright. I love the guy and it killed me to see
it flip like that! I just asked a question asking if anyone else dislikes restrictor plate racing. My favorite driver is Kenseth. So I guess I totally cursed him. Sorry Matt. My bad. I missed his interview. What did he say? Scary! Glad he made it out ok... totally tubular dud!!!! radical when I saw him slide on his hood and then the fire...yeah I got really concerned...but then seeing him get out and he is fine well I am so glad he is OK.
Now the one who bumped him...David Ragan....won the race. If they weren't teammates I would say that just rubs salt in the wound. Now I didn't see an intervier with matt. Did they have one and I missed it??? yea im glad hes ok ^^^^^^^^^^ yes, that's the kind of power rowdy has. he need only be on the track to cause other people to "flip out" like he did two years ago. gimmeabreak. scary I hate wrecks and I'm glad he's okay. Yeah, it was a pretty big wreck. Thankfully, his car didn't tumble as much as Kyle Busch's did a few years ago. Glad to see Matt is okay. It's pretty scary when a car catches on fire while upside down. Did you see that wreck? Wow, Matt Kenseth. That was a scary flip. There was a fire too. What are your thoughts on this incident?granatelli cai

How can you hope someone wrecks "not in a bad way"?
yet you like Dale Jr?
Well as a Kyle fan I am insulterd by this "question" and your comment and I hope no one else answers this. i don't know what a tripper is, but you're like a major dumbass, is that the same thing? you'll fit right in on YA though, there are plenty of fellow haters here to keep you company. theres one kid on here with several junior hating accounts, and i'm sure he'll answer your question with at least a couple of them. I don't hope he gets hurt but no, it won't hurt my feelings if he continues to stink up the joint. What a waste of a good Hendrick team that is. That is just NOT something you wish on anyone! And like would you want someone to like wish that on you? Dude...like that just isn't like kool! Like you are like majorly trippin'!
Go Jr.>>>> He already totally sucks, so you already got half of your wish. As far as wrecking forever, I wouldn't want to see anybody wreck to the point where they would be hurt that bad. No matter how poorly he performs, as long as he is selling his souvenirs he will keep driving.
Dale Jr is overr88ted... Sounds like you jumped on the Kyle Busch bandwagon if you ask me. I may not be a fan of Jr, but I don't wish him or nobody to crash but if a crash happens, I pray everybody is okay but wrecks are a part of the sport though I dont hate Jr, if anything its some of his fans that pi** me off more than him. though he makes way too many mistakes on his own. I guess sometimes its just hard for his fans to admit he's just a mediocre at best. The POO POO Platter sucks! I like Pizza!
Go Dale Junior, He rules!
Kyle Brusshy, oh no Da Big One, screeeeech, bang pow! I don't wish wrecking on anyone, it's just not my thing.
But as far as NASCAR fans go, knock yourself out.
Alot of people wish for Kyle to wreck every week, so if others can wish our driver to wreck, why shouldn't you be able to wish the same on theirs?
I was at LVMS in 2008, Jeff Gordon took a hard hit, (the hardest of his career) and the place erupted in cheers.
It's sick and it's wrong (imo) but it's hardly out of the norm for NASCAR fans to cheer when certain drivers wreck. Kyle Busch is a freaking douchebag!!! He was controlling last year until the other drivers got pissed enough to hit him back! It wa the funnest time of the season last year. Jr all the way, *****! people like you shouldn't be allowed to roam free in public
psychologically speaking that type of thought process is equal to the type of people in our jails and prisons. In other words, that's sick dude.
Any body who agrees to this is displaying severe emotional disturbances and should be monitored by anyone who cares about such person, before they cause harm to someone or themself. "Like not in a bad way, but does anybody else hope that Dale Jr. just totally sucks and wrecks forever ?"
do you not realize how much of a retard you sound like? .....now that you brought it up if Dale Jr does wreck watch it be with Kyle Busch ! Hey I like Dale Jr., and I dont wish him any harm, but dude, I like Kyle Busch and my man is going all the way , each and every year. And I think its cool and cute that Dale is driving so geeky and losing. Am I like a major tripper, as far as Nascar fans go ? I like Dale Jr i have faith in him i wish i could tell him he will win again he has been in front this year .The fans need to keep faith in him not say oh he is a qeek and losing no matter what he dose i will still like him and have faith in him .Go Dale Jr i will keep the faith .You are the man.I,m proud to be his fan LIZ. Dude Kyle got his a*s handed to him by Martin Truex Jr 2 seasons in a row for the Nationwide title, he'll never finish the job. yep caz he caused that big wreck at Daytona
PS. Matt kenseth won the Daytona 500 he rules everybody else sucks exept mark martan
PSS. mark won at the dessert jewel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...plam m500

You dont have to have a fav driver to watch Nascar. I do and of course would love to see him win all the time, and Jeff has done that before, but I do like the competition. The competition now is alot more intense than it was when I first started watching Nascar in the mids 90's. Makes the races way more exciting and much more sweeter when your driver does win. You don't have to have a favorite driver to enjoy NASCAR. tard Report Abuse ....Enjoy the race.From the green flag to the checkers there is a race somewhere be it on the track or in the pits.Go on and watch the race and pull for what ever part you want to.
If you don't have a favorite driver cheer for a car manufacturer. Does watching NASCAR mean us against them? Do you have to have a favorite driver in order to enjoy the races? Are you drawn to racing because of the competition?
I enjoy NASCAR as an art that moves. My favorite NASCAR commercial is the one for Bristol where some guy through a bunch of die cast into a glass front dryer and turns it on and acts like he's watching the race. If I were to become a fan of just one team it would end up being for a pit crew. I like all the drivers the same.
Their skill is that of legend and their poise is that of a master. The real team work is done on pit row. For me at times a race is competition against the Killer Bees and Kyle Bs pit crew. Jeff Gordon's crew is even starting to come around. To pull for only Mark Martin is to want him to finely push someone else out of the way. Something that's not going to happen but twice a season. To only root for Jimmy Johnson is to only expect him to win every race. To only like one driver is to keep me from liking Kyles shadow style driving. Okay, for me, they are all winners because they own the Big Show.
So I am a fan and it's NASCAR against F1 racing. Don't even get me started talking to a F1 fan. I have been blocked and deleted a time or to after talking to those fans. I would rather watch skateboarders race down hill than watch an F1 race. You do not have to pull for any one driver. That is entirely your choice. You enjoy racing in your own way. I have my fav drivers, but I love the competition, the sounds, smells, speeds, adrenaline, and the overall feeling of racing...basically the entire package!
Go Jr.>>>> Come back down to Earth my son.

Johnson comes back from that crash and wins the race way to go jimmie I just hope that Jr. and Vickers don't start the Big One again. Just a little info on the big one. Tell me how it starts, who is involved, and some detail on the crash. Most thorough answer gets 10 points.
mine would be:
Dale Jr. dives low going through the trioval running 7th under Elliot Sadler. He catches Sadler's quarter panel, and Sadler spins head on into the wall. He gets smashed by Jimmie Johnson, who's leading the high groove 4 rows back and they slide down the track collecting Montoya, Vickers, Truex, Smith, Waltrip, Logano, Hornish, R. Gordon, and Harvick. Regan Smith's car slides up into the wall and gets rear ended by matt Kenseth. Scott Speed spins out, but doesn't hit anything, and Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman do a masterful job at navigating under the 78/17 mess and the rest of the junkyard. Wow...so Mark Martin made it through OK...Thats cool. Junior michael waltrip--[just being in the wrong place at the wrong
time], or steve wallace--[reckless squeezing]. murphy's law favors these two way too much.canceling xbox

None of the above Their running COT's with just a LOGO froma stock car What happens to the name if Chevrolet goes under? They will always be the car to beat at Dega. Will it be the new car of tomorrow? Will they plug in a Volt for the race in 2011? Plate racing has very little to do with the car.
I'd say breaks down something like this:
30% car
20% driver
50% luck of picking right line, avoiding the big wreck and so on
That being said look for Kyle Busch to be upfront a lot! Look back at Daytona it was clear he had the best car until the wreck. Absolutely CHEVY!
SPECIFICALLY the 14! While Busch's season has been an up-and-down affair, his strength on superspeedways recently has been noteworthy. Busch won this event one year ago, and he led 88 laps in the Daytona 500 before being caught up in a late-race accident. If any team is projecting superiority on restrictor-plate race tracks right now, it has to be the No. 18 Toyota of Joe Gibbs Racing. Chevrolet Chevrolet. Talladega is all about survival because for once, everyone is on an even playing feild. so i think it could be all of them. Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge Chevy, then Dodge, then Toyota, then Ford. Ford would do better, they just don't have any really good plate drivers in their stable. Dodge is usually pretty good at plate racing. I don't know if they'll do the best because of the questionable talent they have behind the wheel but they had 4 top 10 cars at Daytona.
I'll say Chevy does the best, Dodge second, Toyota third, and Ford fourth. chevy or dodge Ford!! FORD.... Dodge! ;) They really need it.importing a vintage car into ireland

Dale Jr,Tony Stewart ,Matt Kenseth ,and Carl Edwards in the top 4 and then on the last lap Jeff Gordon passes them all with Robby Gordon right behind him ! (:
H E N D R I C K~M O T O R S P O R T S~R U L E S ! ! ! ! ! "...And here we are, with 4 laps to go at Talladega Superspeedway. Jeff Gordon still leads Jimmie Johnson and Jamie McMurray on the high side, with Carl Edwards leading Mark Martin and Kyle Busch on that inside line through 1 and 2. They pull up alongside the leaders down the backstretch, heading for Turn 3. WHOA! Jamie McMurray just got real loose on the outside, but he gathers it up, no harm done, but he's going to get stuck on that high side with no drafting help as Kurt Busch leads another line of cars up the middle and past him. Coming to 3 to go this time by!"
Fast forward
"White flag is in the air. One lap to go at Talladega! Gordon still holds the lead on the outside, with Carl Edwards leading the charge on the bottom. That outside line has been strong today. Not too many passes have been made on the bottom. Coming around Turn 1, Carl and Jeff side by side for the lead, Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson doing their best to push their line's leader to the front and the checkered flag. Still neck and neck down the backstretch, no one has an edge! Here they come off of Turn 4, who's going to be ahead at the stripe? What's that, another charge from a few rows back! At the line, here they come, 3 wide, and it's...Who is that? I've never heard of that guy before. Well, folks, there's your winner. Some New Guy with a fast car in the last 500 yards."
I have no prejudice against any of the driver's mentioned, I just pulled a bunch of names out of my head. Same as last year and Kyle wins!!
P.S. Wouldn't that be awesome this way:
1. Kyle
2. Tony
3. Jr.
4. Marcos
:0) Good luck to Hell Kitten Racing!!! last lap jeff gordon followed by Dale jr and the rouschkateers of carl edwards and david Regan.
hendrick on top roush on bottom. on the backstretch, Jr pushes Gordon past the roush cars. Coming out of four Jr dives to the inside and takes the lead right before the start/finish line. Jr wins. all hendrick cars finish in the top ten I would like all the hendrick cars to wreck on the first lap and finish 40-43. I would like the following cars to battle for the win on the last lap with 3 wide photo finish with Kenseth winning.
Matt Kenseth
Carl Edwards
Greg Biffle
Jamie McMurray
David Ragan Wouldn't it be ironic if Mears and Harvick finished 1-2? Please come up with a creative scenario (story) of how you would like the last 4 laps of the cup race to be run.
Enjoy! Montoya and Truex storm past Dale Jr. to lead with four to go! The bottom has been moving all day, but Truex and Montoya get the top line to take them to the front! Down the backstreatch, all the DODGES begin forming up on the outside, as Dale jr. and Tony Stewart pull out to pass Truex and Montoya! Dale leads the lap by a fraction over Montoya, 3 to go! Montoya gets the lead back through the turns, but they get three wide behind him and the DODGES on the outside led by David Stremme lead the pack into the third turn! Dale and Tony take the lead, but Tony jumps down in front of Montoya to lead a three wide heat across the line, Stewart, Stremme, Jr.. 2 to go! Montoya has a tire go down and slows his entire line before getting off the track. Stewart has now lost his pusher and the two outside lines steam past, Dale Jr. and David Stremme battle down the backstreatch as Vickers and Hamlin pull to the inside once they get by a backing up Stewart. The DODGES take the top lane to the front as Jr's line is weakend after Vickers and Hamlin pulled out. Jr. jumps down to block Hamlin and make a run at the outside line towards the line, but Stremme leads with 1 to go! Going into turn 1, Dale catches Stremme and Vickers pulls to Dale's outside just as Kasey Kahne desides he can't wait for Stremme anymore! They run FOUR WIDE through one and two, on the bottom is Jr, above him, Hamlin goes with Vickers, another lane up, Sorenson goes with Kanhe and Stremme falls back to Kurt Busch who was the fourth DODGE in the line before Kahne and Sorenson pulled out! Down the back, its Kahne vs Vickers, then Sorenson leaves Kahne to block Stremme! Into turn three, Stremme and Sorenson hook against the wall while Truex pulls up to Kahne! Coming out of turn four, Hamlin pulls to the inside of Vickers, Kahne pulls to the outside! Vickers and Hamlin bog each other down, as Kahne, Truex and Menard all pull past through the tri-oval! They scream towards the line as Truex pulls to the inside of Kahne in a last ditch effort! Menard goes with Truex, but its too late, Kahne wins by half a car length!
1. Kahne
2. Truex
3. Menard
4. Hamlin
5. Vickers
6. Stewart
7. Dale jr.
8. Jeff Gordon
9. Kyle Busch
10. Kevin Harvick
In the top lane when Stremme and Sorenson crashed that had possible top 10's ruined were Kurt Busch and Sam Hornish Jr.
Montoya finished 28th, the last car on the lead lap. Drivers in his line that rebounded after he slowed on the track were Truex and Harvick.
After the race, Stremme and Sorenson have a few harsh words as to who caused the wreck, Montoya blamed Tony Stewart for contact that caused his tire to go down.
Robbie Gordon claims he won the race. dale danica jr last place The four Hendricks cars are nose to tail, pulling away from the three wide mess behind them.. On the last lap, coming off of turn four onto the front straight for the last time they go four wide, heading for the checkered flag.. The checkered flag waves, and it takes a few minutes to figure out who won.. The score board flashes 88, 24, 5, 48.. The crowd goes wild.. 4th to last lap tony leads
3rd to last lap tony leads
2nd to last lap jr gets ahead
last lap tony pulls in front of jr and wins. Hopefully it will be between Jeff G, Jimmie J, Mark M, Kyle B,. wouldnt mind seeing carl win even though I hate fords, i like him s person.... No cautions I want to see a feel good story. Micheal Waltrip battling Bobby Labonte side by side with high profile drivers like Gordon, Stewart, and Jr. pushing them from behind. Waltrip on the inside Labonte pulls up along the outside with 5 to go. He pulls up to Waltrip and they run neck and neck, the laps tick off but no one pulls ahead of the other. They remain that way and cross the checkers in a photo finish, and it doesn't matter to me which one wins. there will be a big week. last year carl edwards caused the wreck. actually some people believe it was greg biffle's fault. i wanna see #88 dale jr win and kyle bush come in last I just want the #88 to be in one piece with 4 inflated tires!2gig cf

Tony Stewart, Ned Jarret, and Cale Yarborough crash out of the race, all being amazing drivers, with 5 laps to go. When the green flags waves once more. Junior Johnson and Jimmie Jonhson are racing hard and fall back to 5th and 6th, which is worst of the still running cars. With 3 laps to go Lee Petty scrapes the wall hard and goes to the pits without a caution. Lee is now 6th but still on the lead lap. With 2 laps to go Jeff Gordon and Bill Elliot race to hard and Richard Petty gets a big lead. Final lap Richard Petty has tire problems coming into the final turn and Jeff Gordon and Bill Elliot get held up with Richard still fighting hard. Jeff Gordon and Bill Elliot pass Richard but not before Junoir Johnson and Jimmie Johnson pass them. Junior Johnson and Jimmie Johnson take the lead in the coner. They are neck and neck. Coming up to the finishline. It's a photo finish! After a replay they announce the winner... Jounior Johnson!

The track would be where else but Talladega!!!!
The last lap would be a balls to the walls, all out slug fest. Bangin, bumpin and scraping paint until there were no numbers left on the car.
They would have to wait until the driver came to get the flag to see who actually won.
(insert your driver here) wins it!!!! I know this one is impossible, but just to see these 3 go at it would be super awesome:
Curtis Turner
Dale Sr
and yep Kyle Busch
have them race at Darlington just imagine this OMG there'd be more Darlington Stripes than you could ever imagine. 3 wide I can hear Dave Moody calling it now. All 3 crash into each other coming to the checkered flag, where did Pearson come from, he goes on to win the race. (of course they'd all be in Chevy's except Pearson who'd be in a Ford. Talk about Helmets flying and a fight out at the start finish line. I don't think Nascar could have a hauler big enough to hold these 3 guys.
But if you want three from today: who are alive
The King Richard (in his famous Petty Blue #43)
Kevin Harvick
Carl Edwards
The King would win the race cause Harvick would end up calling Carl a pansy again then there'd be a fight, cause they wrecked on the last lap. Again the race would be at Darlington (its my fav).
Go Dale Jr & Hms pick 3 drivers from the pre-modern era to race against 3 drivers from 1970-1999 and 3 drivers who are currently active.
they all are driving the same car, and they are all in their prime.

BONUS: describe the last lap of your race. Awesome you picked Martinsville! My hometown and favorite track in Nascar.
Petty vs. Gordon vs. The Intimidator!
The first 20laps are back and forth. Each person leads at least once, with of course lots of beating and banging. But contact forces all 3 drivers into the pits for repair. They come off pit road 3 wide and now its a 3 lap race. They come out of turn 2 with Earnhart leading but Petty gives him a taste of his own medicine crashing him down the backstretch. Now the 43 and 24 charge hard into 3 both trying to outbrake each other. They run wide and get on the gas hard for the exit of 4. They're into each other and both cars are wounded and stopped short of the S/F line. They escape from their cars and the crowd goes nuts because they're both OK. They push their cars for the final 40 yards and Petty wins it in a photo finish. But wait, Earnhart has choice words for Petty in victory lane. There's a skirmish! OK, I'm tired of typing...you get the idea.
Ooops, I guess I screwed that up. But I would have chosen Martinsville as it is my favorite track and lets say they were driving the old 63 Ford Galaxie.cubanitas restaurant

its only probation, i think they will survive At least it's consistent with the Kyle and Carl incident at Bristol. Rick Hendrick is slowing him down on the radio and officials are penalizing him for his emotions. Is Dale Jr. a ticking time bomb? Is he going to be over compressed to the point of showing it all or nothing? Probation is the right call. Not only do I like to learn something about these drivers but they need to learn a thing or two about themselves. I really believe that Smoke and Kyle B. have both learned to hold their horses just a bit before plowing in on other drivers. Even Carl Edwards has seen the demise of his own poor choices. I for one enjoy both the skills and the drama that plays out on the track. I'll take one smack down over two "THE BIG ONE' at Dega" any day. And if you don't know what THE BIG ONE is at Dega you have never seen a race at Talladega. To me it's just red flag action. Big wupee. At least it seems like they are not re-writing the rules after each race.
Consistency is all I ask for. i think jr should have got out and kicked his *** Good, now all the #88 HATERS can shut up about it.
Steffy, I know......I am sure you feel the same.
rita_stiles......So Mears wrecks Jr at "full speed" and Jr wrecks Casey at "cool down" speed and Jr deserves it and not the #07.............You need to go back to the gardening department!! Your idiocy is overwhelming!! I honestly think no penalties 'probation' should have come.. Heck I would have paid to see Jr play more bumper cars with Mears. I would have loved to see him have Robby Gordon as a partner for that (who was wrecked by the 55) and M. waltrip and Mears could partner up for some tag team bumper cars, which Gordon and Jr would have won. They should earn extra money. It's pretty much the only excitement there's been the whole season! yes the times has changes where things like that was settled behind the garage with out cameras around... and then the next day they was buying rounds... i miss the good ol days.. where every know and then a driver showed up with a black eye or fat lip and then it was settled Probation does nothing! And Nascar said they want drivers to show more emtion, well that was showing emtion, Right? I thought it was funny and entertaining. Nascar needs to decide what they want the drivers to do, show emtion or not. That's all I wanted to see considering the Busch/Edwards incident last year... It kind of looks like they changed their minds after too many people complained that Edwards/Busch got penalized last year at Bristol for doing much the same thing. I didn't think there was going to be a penalty for Mears and Junior. yes, for the next six races,, even though I think Dale Jr. deserves it and Casey Mears doesn't. Well, I am glad NASCAR rethought their original position and became consistent! Maybe, they heard us b****ing! That is all I ask in any race is that everyone be treated equally; that the rules apply to everyone.
(I like the above Earnhardt Sr. quote "if bumpers weren't made for bumpin, they wouldn't have called them that." That is great! Storm, you're thought is great! lol)
GO STEWART HAAS RACING! http://www.4ever3blog.com/2009/4/22/8483...
What do you think??? At least for once Nascar is consistent. This is the typical "penalty" for this type of behavior. It seems fitting. Probation means nothing.at italia rim

I think that it is more along the lines of Ferrari and McLaren fighting for the championship last year and neglecting development of the 2009 car.
While other teams such as the ones you mention had no hope last year so they spent their time in developing cars for the new season and rules.
Now its true that Brawn have a diffuser that supposedly gives about a half second a lap advantage and now that it has been declared legal, all the other teams will be re-designing their cars to suit.
Now Red Bull have no diffuser - they just have a genuinely fast car with advanced suspension design.
Red Bull's engineer said that it is going to be a headache for them to redesign the car to incorporate the diffuser.
Let's see what happens next.
This is a great link from another post on this forum:
http://formula-one.speedtv.com/article/m... As far as Brawn is concerned, it seemingly has to do with several points;
The diffuser seems to be a big help (I'm still not sure why, but then I don't have a firm grasp on the details of how it works to give the added grip that Ferrari and McLaren and others didn't pick up on).
Also for Brawn, it's Brawn himself. An innovator. A think-outside-the-box kind of guy. His history with Honda says loads, doesn't it?
As for Red Bull, I'm honestly not sure. They changed their diffusers, too. Maybe it also has something to do with the adage "make hay while the sun shines." Maybe they're just at the right place at the right time and are profiting by that, along with their new diffuser.
For both of these teams, it sure doesn't hurt that they have a leg up on most of the rest of the field with the diffuser coup. Brawn have been working on their car since last year and the redbull team have Adrian Newey and a massive budget. They also had DC and Webber to help develop their car. Ferrari and Mclaren probably haven't spent as much time into developing their 2009 car because they were busy fighting each other last year. Still the Mclaren guys, amidst all the turmoil within the team, seem to have developed a better car than the Ferrari boys. Anyone know how the Brawn and Red Bull cars are pacing much faster than those of Ferrari and McLaren. I can't seem to understand where the huge difference in results could be.77 dodge power wagon new parts

I like both. It depends what you're looking for. If you want to be informed, NASCAR NOW is better. If you want to be entertained, then you should watch TWIN Personally my favorite is raceline. The show comes on a different time each week so its hard to catch. I like NASCAR Now I think This week in NASCAR can be boring sorry but thats how I feel. I think NASCAR Now has more analysts on it like Marty Smith who has been commentating on NASCAR.com for years. the one that micheal waltrip is always on, i thinnk it is this week in nascar This Week In NASCAR or NASCAR Now?
Personally, I prefer TWIN for my Monday night recap. Informative, and entertaining.
NASCAR Now is waaaaay too Jr's problems/Kyle Busch centric. Ugh. And it shouldn't be on every day.
That's just me, how 'bout y'all?
Go UPS #6!!! biffle has a new internet show it is good This Week In NASCAR
Both are very good. But in my opinion Steve Byrnes is just 10x's Better than Ricky Craven. I like 'this week in nascar' that has the stuff coming up not focusing on all the drama that has happened. NASCAR Now is better IMHO.. But that depends on who is on..
Marty Smith is great, I'm a fan for years.. He's a Dale Jr fan too,
and so is Ricky Craven (they were both on yesterday, and said so)..
I think Marty is one of the smartest, most well informed people in the sport, as well as the most honest.. He is never selling anything, or anyone.. I prefer The Morning Drive show on Nascar Channel #128(sirius sattelite radio) with David Poole and Mike Bagley, and the Tradin' Paint show that comes on after it. Talk about a weekend recap,and it gets wild and rowdy sometimes. But I only watch Nascar now when Ricky Craven is not on it. Been nice seeing Marty Smith back on there. I never get to see This week in Nascar, I never seem to remember to set the DVR. But I can not live without channel 128 on sirius sattelite radio, best investment I've ever made.
Go Dale Jr & Hms I agree with you 100% I look forward to watching This Week In NASCAR to catch me up on anything I missed, to see some recaps and to hear the opinions of Mikey, Chad/Greg Biffle, oh and I like the in-car segment to, that is fun. TWIN - It's not what it used to be but it's still a decent show. I really like This Week In NASCAR and we watch NASCAR now. I agree with you about the Jr and Kyle rhetoric. Enough already! There are more drivers besides Jr and Kyle.
I guess I'm kind of a fanatic. I try to catch all the NASCAR news on ESPN, SPEED, and currently FOX. lol It's nice being informed! lol I prefer NASCAR now.............. I like the Wind Tunnel w/Dave Despain or however you say itciv3 manual

They are now with Versus. Four races will be on ABC that includes the Indianapolis 500.
Check your cable listings
The coverage is much better with Versus than ESPN. Versus rebroadcast the race on TV. They don't have it online like espn360. Yes, look at everyone else's answers.
BTW, if you don't have Versus, there is a station out of Indianapolis that broadcasts the races on their online streaming service. Will it be? when and where? It was carried on Versus Network, in HD in many areas in the country. Everyone I spoke to said they did a great job.. I even enjoyed working the the Versus crew in Long Beach, great seeing Bob Jenkins again also. The Kansas race this weekend is on Versus again also.
Go Helio and Team Penske. It was televised on a 3rd tier cable network - much like Champ Car did before going out of business.................palm port

I did not see it. I keep wanting to watch NASCAR programs this week, just because I want to keep watching the highlights from this race again and again and again: All of them include Mark Martin.
Steffy, I hope your not sorry you lost your bet. Nicole is Greg's wife now....and she went after Eva ...Kurts wife...when Kurt and Greg had a mishap on the track...I remember that...just can't remember if Kurt got into Greg or vice versa.
I hope they still are together because they have been together for years and I don't even think they have had a first anniversary yet.
He's prolly just kidding about the ladies.
My sister got braces in her 30's... I guess if someone wants perfect teeth there isn't an age limit..... i saw it and thought he was being funny, or trying to. why he got them in his 30s, that doesn't seem so odd. many people's parents couldn't afford them when they were young, then as they went through their 20s they didn't want their "dating life" appearance affected by braces. my uncle had braces in his late 30s and i may be getting some myself and i'm in my early 40s. as for greg, maybe he heard they were painful and time-intensive and he now has the time and money to finally get it done. what i don't understand is why he didn't get the invisalign or clear braces... roush must be paying him enough to afford them--he owns his own helicopter for goodness' sake. Are things off between The Biff and his girlfriend? I thought they were together for a long time. I remember when his girlfriend went after Kyle Busch's girlfriend in the pit box, she was spunky I like that. He got braces & said he is trying to look good for the ladies since there are a lot of them out there. Ha! I like Greg he is a funny guy. Why did he get braces so late? Hmmmmm....Enquiring minds want to know.i think unicorns are kick ass

Matt Kenseth dale jr is going to win because he has a great car. Wild Thing Danica Patrick - she was wonned two consecutive races and cannot be stopped.................
She is the bestest evar. Too early to tell. mark martin I'm going with my boy Kurt Busch, Penske seems to have turned things around this season and for once has been greatly competitive. However the way Gordon's driving he could also get that 5th title, we'll see how things start out in Richmond though Cup: Jeff Gordon
Nationwide: Carl Edwards
Trucks: Ron Hornaday
Just my opinion. There's really no telling until you get to the chase. Im sorry to all the other 42 drivers but there is only one person that is going to win championship this year and that is no other then jimmie johnson he is on a roll i think clint boyer ends the drought
as of now ask again in august lol Jimmie Johnson...4 in a row
Go Jimmie #48 I'm with Sally B on this one. It's only the eighth race of the season, and teams are still working out a few bugs. The Roushketeers haven't been nearly as competitive as they should be, Kyle Busch is ruining his own races so far, and some guys are trying to rebound from earlier mishaps. Mark is just now reaching where he should be in points, and he's still moving up. If you ask this again come September, then we'll talk championship. Brian Vickers I think it will be Jeff Gordon, unfortunately. Except for last week, they could do no wrong and should be strong all year. His best challengers will be Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Busch. Jimmie Johnson will probably falter at some point in the chase, finally, and not win 4 straight,
........but impossible to see, the future is. sprint = clint bowyer
nationwide = joey logano
truck = todd bodine My picks
#1- Jeff gordon
#2- Jimmie Johnson
#3-Dale Jr
#4-Rowdy Busch
#5-Kurt busch I am betting the farm on Jeff Gordon, but if he doesn't pull it off then Brian Vickers. Sprint Cup.......#24
Nationwide............Anyone but Kyle Busch
Truck..........Don't watch The drive for five is alive. #24 in 09. dale jr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like Jeff Gordon will... I hope Kurt Busch wins the championship but the way Jeff Gordon is driving I think he will win his 5th championship. Ron Hornaday in the truck series, Kyle Busch in Nationwide and Jimmie Johnson in the Sprint Cup Series!
Jonah's FINE N 09!!!! This Is Jeff Gordon's Year. Jeff Gordan, he's stepped up this year, goin for another one tony or markd16 forum

It does get old hearing the announcers, TV shows & internet Nascar sites talk 24/7 about the same old same old drivers. There are other drivers and other stories out there to be told. It does agitate me sometimes but it is what it is. Well, they talk about those who are front runners and in the top ten race after race. The field is about 43 cars and not just those 5. But in marketing it is all about those five. As a David Ragan fan, I sometimes get a little agitated when people ignore him. Not to take anything away from fans of the more 'popular' drivers, but I just wish they'd talk to more of the competiton.
Any fans of drivers other than 24, 48, 18, 88, 14 feel this way? I agree w/ you 100%. They always fail to show a good run down of all the drivers. Hell, I don't even remember seeing a through the field of atleast the top 20 like they use to. They need to start covering more and more of the drivers, not just the top 15. It can be hard. I have been watching races when Casey has finished in the top 5 and they will interview everyone else that finished in the top 5 other than him.
I also find it frustrating when people keep writing him off. All I see right now is about how he is not performing up to standards at RCR. Well open up your eyes people, everyone at RCR are underperforming lately.
I know he is a good racer and if owners would actually give him the chance to connect with his team and not mess around with him then he would actually get the chance to show that. I sometimes get annoyed when Mark finishes in the top 5 or op 10, but the cameras look for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. or one or the other popular drivers who finished 25th, and they don't talk to Mark on his good run. It does seem that they only interview Mark when he wins or after an early exit.
When it comes to defending him, I don't have to. His career numbers do that for him, even if he has never won the 500 or a Cup. He's got better numbers than 3 or 4 drivers who have at least one of those milestones. i agree i mean im a huge tony fan but im also a huge bobby labonte fan they dont even mention bobby the only time they mention him is for the ask.com question thing it makes me so mad they dont even get his number right half of the time and the beginning when everyone switch teams they listed everyone but bobby als o durin the race u look at the top of the screen and bobby is haveing a good run and then all of the sudden he is like a bunch of laps down and u have no clue what happens and then they just through something really fast bobby like is in the garage
trust me i know exactly how u feel I'm a fan of the 17. People are going to ignore those who aren't successful. period. If the 17 or in your case the 6 gets into contention, he will get attention. It's that simple. So if I get agitated, its at my driver or his team, not at the lack of attention from fans and media. I know this isn't a question for me (I'm a #24 fan), but I see what you mean. I'm also a fan of Casey Mears and Brian Vickers; they never seem to get any attention at all. I think it would be great if they focused more on other drivers. All of them deserve some attention and credit; not just a few. Robby Gordon fan here, only because of Robby's independent nature; and refusal to Ever give up.. No problem defending him ever because I do not go by delusions of grandeur and I understand that he is trying to make it in a $ world as a team owner/driver. I'm an Allmendinger and Waltrip fan. Everyone seems to like AJ, but I get killed about Michael...it seems that nobody respects the guy. He's a successful car owner, an accomplished driver considering the crap he's driven in his career, and he's charming and witty to boot. I just don't understand the hate...
...and he's not gay. Have you seen Buffy? Gah-lee...not to mention I met a dude from Owensboro who sounds JUST like him, so it can't be the accent, either. Aye...
Go 44 and 55! I'm also very partial to Casey Mears and David Reutimann. People either love Sadler or hate him, it gets tough but he needs to help me plead my case. I agree with you, Ragan, Sorenson, Sadler, Vickers, I'm surprised they have been mentioning Reutimann more now.. It does seem like the HMS/RCR/JGR get all the attention, the rest unless they do something major, they get forgotten, on TV. But if you have access to a MRN station or Sirius Sattelite radio with the Nascar channel that carries all the MRN/PRN broadcasts they talk about all the drivers.
Go Dale Jr & Hms I'm not arguing that this is the case, but other drivers do get talked about. It's just difficult to talk about all 43 drivers during the race. Sometimes when Gordon has had an off day, they won't mention him much. Same thing with other top drivers. They tend to focus on who is running up front (makes sense) and who is wrecking or about to wreck (again, makes sense). It's just that you can usually find the drivers you mentioned in the top 10 during the race.
And they do interview the low-key drivers. They had Reuti on the other day at Trackside (I think it was Trackside) and they've talked about Ambrose too. It could be better, but they have a limited amount of time. im a fan of Jeff gordon, i know you said other than but i went to the pepsi 400 and when he drove around all you could hear was booing and i was the only one cheering for him, yes its hard sometimes. yeah it offended me this week when all they could do is talk bout june bugg wreckin mears in post race when reed had his second top 12 of the season.

When I picked him up in our NASCAR fantasy league way down in the draft order I thought I made a steal. Now he's killing me. I'm thinking, was his great year in '08 a fluke and does everyone else know this but me? That season was not a fluke (I hope). David's just run into some bad luck (I read the PIR recap and he said that the team could never find the right set up).
And it's RAGAN, so sick of the misspelling.
Go UPS #6!!! All the Roush cars seem to be a bit off compared to last year. Ragan just seems off more than the others. I think the testing ban is really hurting this team. Kenseth and Harvick seem to be struggling too. He's gota pick it up though because either he or McMurry will lose their ride and the end of the season. Guess that's racin'. He's having an off year. Could be that he'll get better. Its not really David's fault. Hes had some bad luck with engines blowing up and stuff, its looking like he will rebound a bit though. I dropped Ragan and picked up David Stremme. I would keep a sharp eye on Sam Hornish, Jr. Ragan just seems too pressured. I mean, he now has to please a HUGE sponsor in UPS, and not to mention fill the shoes of Dale Jarrett (even though Ruti did half a season last year). Maybe it is a pressure thing??? I mean, the guy is now on national TV commercials and print media everywhere. That could be a factor. Hard sayin'..I thought he'd have a good year, too.
Hopefully it wasn't a fluke season.
He's too passive at times, I've noticed..he needs to fight for position rather than just move over and allow people to pass him left and right.
Fight for it boy!!! if anyone could answer that question they would make millions in vegas He just got lucky last year. I personally have always thought he is not a good driver. I put him in the same category as Kyle Petty and Michael Waltrip. They don't need to be in a cup car. I don't see how they even get sponsorship every year. It's not just Ragan, it's a lot of teams. RCR is struggling, even though they have two cars in the top 12 right now, Roush is a little off, EGR isn't up to snuff, It's really only one or two cars from each organization other than Hendrick who are having consistent solid runs. Even the almighty JGR of 2008 has had a lackluster season so far, even with Kyle's 2 wins. The testing ban has hurt all these teams. The only team to not suffer too badly from it is Rick Hendrick, mostly because they are already at the top, nobody can improve to overcome them.windows media player smartphone sync

If you really don't like it, then don't watch it. Nobody is twisting your arm to turn it on. I happen to like Kenny and Spencer is always an idiot...something to laugh at. Sometimes it seems a bit long, but I enjoy the driver interviews and perspectives on the race.
Go Jr.>>>> Kenny Wallace is the funniest, goofiest NASCAR personality out there. I like him and Spencer's OK too. I don't tune in to Race day often, but I don't hate it. I hate all of those pre-race shows and don't watch it. I usually don't turn on the race until they start the pre-race ceremonies. That cuts out the 30 or so minutes of Digger and all the other junk. I can't stand Kenny or Spencer. Even if they have something interesting during those two hours, like a segment that looks informative or whatever, I change the channel. They're just too annoying. I don't usually watch 'Race Day'. I agree, its too long. I'm usually trying to get day off chores done before the race starts.
In addition, I think since it is so long, they try to "create" story lines to report. I personally like to know a recap of the top stories of the week; how everyone did in practice, qualifying, and happy hour; any engine/transmission/important parts changes for anyone; and maybe a recap of who did what last time they raced at the track. But basically, all that is covered in the pre-race show. I used to like Kenny and Spencer, but I find their "I used to race, so I know everything" attitude a bit overbearing. Don't get me wrong. I do find some of the coverage informative and entertaining, but I think they could probably fit it all in in about 45min to an hour.
Maybe Y!A thought you said KY instead of KW???? Who knows!? its ok i agree with u its a little bit too long some parts are really boring but i like it when they interview the drivers and the pregame ceremonies i like watching it when its on tnt and kyle petty is doin it This show is irritating! I cannot stand KW nor Spencer.
And it's too long. I don't think we need two hours,
Am I in the minority here, or what? It's fun to go by the set while they're filming when you're at the track. They give a good bunch of stuff away to get the people to yell like that. The only thing that pissses me off is that Rutledge Wood has a job. Seriously...the guy has no talent, he's not funny, and he knows nothing about racing, or NASCAR history. Just a total dork pretending to be a NASCAR fan.
Hey, I just thought of something...maybe YA! read RaceDay, and assumed that you had a question about Rutledge Wood, and put it in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender section. I don't particularly care for it either. The only person I like on there is Jimmy Spencer, who isn't that great. He carries himself well but I don't think he really knows what he talks about half the time. The others are just annoying.
Actually, I don't really care for any of the pre-race shows anymore. They're all way too long and boring. Except for a few races like Daytona and Homestead, there's no reason for them to be an hour long. Limit them to 30 minutes at most. I think that would help out all of them a lot. They'd have to cut the crap.
YA wants to put about half the questions I ask in LGBT. Not gonna lie,
I LOVE 'Nascar on RaceDay' Yeah I can definitely relate to you. I don't want to watch two hours or so of the prerace. I want to see the actually race. It is kind of a waste of time.scottevest review

money. simple as that. Its been a complete shambles in Asia but then they spend the money dont they.The sport is all f...d up with daft rules atc.Cars shouldnt race in these conditions.so then blame the weather again. Ask Bernie Ecclestone.
He negotiates the race calendar each year.
He decided the start time of the Malaysian GP and took a lot of criticism for it.
Only Bernie can answer your question. That's exactly what I said to my boyfriend. I don't know much about it but if this time of year is monsoon season then it is really dumb to schedule the Asian GPs for now. When they put the British GP on early in the season a few years ago and it was a complete washout because of the weather, the next year they put it back to it's regular summer slot so I can't understand why they've come up with this schedule. What a crappy start to the Chinese GP - behind a safety car! Well, China has 1 billion potential fans of which 300 million are affluent middle class or above...nice market don't you think? Haven't you heard, Bernie has a new umbrella business! Bernie Ecclestone seems to make all the F1 decisions ~ I feel it's time for Bernie to retire ~ the rain in China was a nightmare ~ I felt sorry for the drivers ~ also it's not as good to watch ~ It's because these countries WANT a grand prix and pay huge amounts of money to build world class tracks and facilities.
Despite the fact that the countries have no motorsport history and the atmosphere is probably mediocre at best, they have the money to keep the event going. Unlike France and Canada, by comparison. It's all about money - just money. theres nothing wrong with a bit of rain, but safety cars every race make a mockery of f1?
why do you think none of the commentators brought this up...are they just told to keep their mouths shut? It's because they keep changing the schedules around so that when races in Asia are run, tv viewers in Europe don't have to wake up too early to watch the races. Not only the downpours, it is also the sandstorms.
They have the market, the circuit or the huge GP fee, which is quite substantial. Bernie does not care about the races , he cares about a profitable championship, and right now there's a huge potential in Asia and the middle east.
There are many places with more motorsport tradition, but they are unable to meet Ecclestone's demands. The reason behind F1 dropping Silverstone y because they couldn't invest and pay the amounts Bernie wanted. Many European circuits have been dropped because the same reason.
I agree that China has miliions of potential fans, but what about Bahrain and Abu Dhabi or Singapore? They have small populations but a lot of money. The TV audience is also important. This year there are no GP in North America, and only one in South America. There are great places to race there: US, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, but it's not good for tv audience in Europe. all the new non european GPs should be dumped. they are all without exception complete rubbish. china, malaysia, bahrain, etc are all awful. the last 2 races have been a joke. if i'd paid to go i'd demand my money back.obey wallets

I would love to drive the safety car not me i would rather drive a car on the grid for mclaren safety car?
Wouldn't that be an honour? what the heck is a "safety car"? I'd give it a whirl driving the paddle gearbox whizzy Merc in front of that lot.
Lights going etc.
A sense of power, being in control of the race for a while.
I am no egotist, but it must be fun.atlanta airport customs dept

Yes, it's going to be a great tactical battle. There is going to be at least one crash, i'll bet. Think this is going to be one of the best races to date. That joke was broadcast on the BBC fifteen minutes before you wrote your question ! Shame about the weather ~ and they are starting behind the safety car ~ they're off now lets hope we have a great race ~
Enjoy :-) s'gonna be a good one ;-) Can,t wait got up early to watch it, bring it on woop woop... Yes but will Button come undone? can't wait for it, yay! race can't wait for the safety car to come off!!! If there are any rains or safety cars, the race will be a gamble. As some cars are running with 3 stop strategy.

I didn't hear exactly what happened. They need to get it together. Unfortunately that reason alone took him out of my starting fantasy lineup. He's really good at Phoenix. This is going to be this weeks excuse on why Earnhardt finishes bad this week I bet! Stupid Earnhardt fans....
Seriously, from the start of the race all he did was lose positions anyways, and now being in the back of the pack where he belongs, he is struggling to gain any spots even with these other slow guys.
Pathetic.
LOL All these thumbs down because Earnhardt sucks. Earnhardt was almost into the wall just now because he can't handle the car, nothing new!
So who cares about what happened in the pits, it doesn't matter if it happened or not, he's still going to get the same finish!
So funny how another yellow comes out right before he gets lapped!!! LOL. Every time that he comes close to getting lapped a yellow always comes out. idk his crewmen suck i guess?i heard they had a problem with a lug nut on the left front tire this time Dale Jr. just had to pit twice. This is yet another pit problem. What is going on? This has been happening since Daytona. What do they have to do to fix this problem? The pits are really hurting his finishes.generator jedi name star war
