Who's your favorite start and park driver?

May be...

  • micheal waltrip because he needs to fix his car
  • please give a detailed description of why???????
  • Johnny Chapman because nobody knows who the **** he is.
  • Joe Nemechek has done very well in his career with the little that he's gotten. For that, I respect him. He, unlike many of the go or go homers, genuinely wants to FINISH a race. He's had some great runs, and I wish him the best in all future endeavors.
  • Joe Nemechek! At least he has won and I wish he had better equipment. This start and park bs sucks! Rather not see these guys race at all if all they are doing is qualify and quit the race shortly after the green flag is waved. Joe would be a much better choice for the 12 then David Stremme!
  • Probably Joe Nemechek because he never ruffles anyone's feathers (unless its Kevin Harvick) and hes a good driver he just doesnt have the equipment or the luckkotor swoop upgrade

    How in gods name does Dave Blaney stay in NASCAR?

    May be...

  • LMAO when you find the answer let me know, he qualifies (gosh knows how) and then runs a few and then parks it and has a drink. I guess he gets paid ok but I guess in a recession you do what you have to do. But still....
  • I have a feeling he drives for one of the "Start & Park" teams. The team owner brings the car to the track, qualifies & then instructs Dave to spin 10-20 laps. Don't bust up the car & then take it to the garage for a "mechanical failure". Team collects $50-80k & they are on the trailer to the next venue.
  • It's not him, its his team.
  • He probably comes cheap.
  • Because he is bad *** like that
  • How is Gods name can u sit and watch cars drive in circles? If you're from the southern states, I understand.
  • They seriously can't find ANYONE better than him to drive? Have you seen his stats? He's been in 21 races this season. Of those 21, ONLY 3 TIMES has he finished BETTER than 40TH!!!!!!!!!!
    http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/sprint/dr…
    The man has 20 DNF's in 21 races. Why even waste the resources sending him out there?
  • If you had ever watched one of those races, you would realise that he is on a start and park team. This means that he only runs a handful of laps, pulls off and goes laughing to the bank. He can qualify better than some other people. Otherwise, they would be out there instead of him. However, I don't understand the point of having these teams. I would be in favour of downsizing the field. Yes, we're used to 43 cars. However, if several of them are going to pull right off, why even let them start. If you cannot afford to run an entire race, you shouldn't be out there IMO. The field fillers are more likely to cause wrecks than the other drivers, anyways.
  • He stays in racing in NASCARs name

  • Who are your favorite Nascar Drivers in the NNCS series?

    May be...

  • I don't have a favorite. I have ranks of drivers I root for depending on whom they are racing with for the win.
    Level 1 Drivers include:
    Dale Jr, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Mark Martin, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, David Rueitamann, Marcos Ambrose, Michael Waltrip, Clint Bowyer, and Jeff Burton
    Level 2 Drivers are only rooted against if they are racing a Level 1 Driver: Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray, Jeff Gordon, Brian Vickers, Casey Mears, Kevin Harvick
    Level 3: Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman. They are the bottom feeders of the list and anybody I haven't listed I don't have an opinion about.
  • I'm trying to decide...I like Kasey Kahne, Casey Mears, Dale Earnheardt, Dale Jr., Jimmie Jonson, and more...Who's your Favorite?
  • My absolute favorite driver is Dale Jr! But I really like Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Jimmie Johnson, and Carl Edwards.
  • Joey Logano is my favorite driver of all and Kyle Busch is second.

    Joey is my favorite because he is less than a year older than I am and he a an all around great driver/guy.

    Kyle is second because he is disliked by many, doesn't care what people think and he is a good driver.
  • nncs? its nscs, any way i like casey mears the best but if you look at my profile, i have a list of drivers
  • Dale jr, Kasey Kahne, There are a few others out there i like i mean i like watching Reed Sorenson, Casey Mears, Scott Speed, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Brian Vickers. So there are a lot to choose from
  • Kurt Busch. Ive been a fan ever since
  • Mr. Mark Martin is my favorite driver because all the drivers respect Mark, including Kyle Busch.
  • I'm with Mears, I'm confused. If you mean NSCS, my favorite drivers are:

    Matt Kenseth(My main favorite)
    David Ragan
    Carl Edwards
    Greg Biffle

    P.S. If you start pulling for Dale Earnhardt, you won't see him win many races because he hasn't raced since the 2nd race of 2001.
  • My favorite is Kevin Harvick. But I also like Tony Stewart, Jeff Burton, Juan Pablo Montoya, Ryan Newman, and Joey Logano.
  • Of course, Kasey Kahne. My next favourite is Kyle Busch. I like a lot of drivers, though. Everyone at JGR, Roush-Fenway (except David Ragan) and RCR (except Kevin Harvick).tohiba uk

    Nascar Nation: Do You Vote for Unresolved Questions here?

    May be...

  • I vote once in a while when there aren't very many open questions that I feel like answering.
  • Sometimes... but I unknowingly vote for my own answers (that I've long forgotten), and if no one else votes... 10 points. :)

    It's all accidental.
  • No, I started to once you asked this question though :)
  • I do vote on unresolved questions, but in other categories other than the NASCAR section.

    Sorry.
  • you bet. especially the funny ones. ha ha I never send mine out to vote really. I kind of like choosing. I have never got voted in though come to think on that.
  • I do sometimes, when I'm extremely bored. Don't worry too much about the cleanliness in the NASCAR section. We have rat finks - oops, I meant trusted reporters to keep it all nice and clean. : )
  • yes i do but i go to other sections that i don't always answer in
  • I never vote. I do go back and see how many thumbs up and down I get though.
  • Sometimes, but not real often.
  • i vote sometimes
  • It's a point and it gives me a chance for ten, if I answered the question. I like picking the best answer though. It's like picking a Padawan. So many choices, but the best is always taken.
  • Yes I do especially when there is nothing going on in here and Im bored. It does keep it nice & tidy.
  • I have noticed we hardley ever have more than 2 pages of unreslved question. I always vote on those, it keeps our section nice and clean...
  • I try to make it over there when I remember. I figure somebody should get some points. Occasionally I vote in other sections like Television as well. It's fun being the tiebreaker vote too.
  • Not as a rule, but I do frequently. Nice that you do.laugardia
  • Will NASCAR allow me to enter my '77 super charged AMC Pacer in the next race at Daytona Beach?

    May be...

  • LOL. That would be a great view, my friend. If they don't let you in the race, park it in the infield & you'll still have your 360 degree view.
  • It may not go as fast as the other cars but with a 360 degree fishbowl view no one can sneak up on me.
  • You wont be allowed no where near the track, I think the other drivers may be jealous of such a ride....
  • absolutley not the cars have to fit the templates
  • lol

    fishbowl of not,
    they'll be passing you so fast, you won't even see them
    do you really think that body/suspension can go anywhere near 200-220 mph?
  • No. Because the next race at Daytons is a motorcycle race.
  • NASCAR hasn't raced on the beach since 1958.
  • Ahh... no.usb arcade
  • What kind of cool cars does your favorite nascar driver own and drive.?

    May be...

  • I don't know. I'm not that obsessed with NASCAR to find out every little thing about my driver. I know all I have to know.
  • when not running a race.

    include a picture if you can.
  • Tony Stewart has a 1984 Cadillac Hearse that I love!:
    http://www.racedriven.com/2006/07/photog…

    He's not my #1 driver, but Kurt Busch has a 1964 VW Beetle that I think is really cute. It was his first car.
    I can't seem to find just a picture of it, but he showed it off on an episode of CMT's Cribs. This is a video of it:

  • Should Kyle Busch use his Mommy's money to buy this?

    May be...

  • Why? He sold his smashed guitar and has plenty of money for that old thing.
  • Oooohh..and resorting to schoolyard questions like this one proves who really needs the plug.
  • No why, are you trying to sale your used one?
  • Kyle has his own money, he is tied for the lead in wins with Mark Martin, Give him time and some of the other drivers may want to buy those after he gets in the Chase. Think back to Tony and Sr. when they were younger they were very much like Kyle, he will mature into one of the Greatest Nascar Drivers ever, oh and remember you heard it here...Go Kyle....
  • WTF is that thing. It looks like some torture device. I will say Kyle can do without buying that.
  • if that was supposed to funny it isn't... u failed...
  • You don't need to do that..
    And anyone who thinks Kyle Busch is anything like Dale Earnhardt, has swallowed too much bubble gum..
    The only driver on the track that drives like Dale Earnhardt, is Dale Earnhardt Jr.. Jr coming to the front in Michigan at the end of the race, looked exactly like his father, and Andy Petree agrees.. Andy was Dales Crew Chief for a while, and a friend for a while longer.. He should know..

  • You tell him Casey. Sounds like another JR fan pi$$ed off because Kyle drives and acts more like his hero Dale Sr then Jr does. He might as well paint "JR FAN " on his forehead. LOL.. Either that or he's from Wisconsin or something.
  • HAHAHAHAHA you guys are killing me today. He should get the money from his Mommy and his brother. Oh maybe they can share it.bluetooth network cable unplugged

  • Have you heard these true stories about Kyle Busch?

    May be...

  • hahaha those I have not heard before...But I Like Kyle..
  • LOL, hadn't heard the last one.
  • Very funny bunch of jokes! Thanks.
  • Dale Earnhardt Jr was walking across campus when Kyle Busch rides up on a shiny new motorcycle.
    "Where did you get such a great bike?", asked Jr.
    Kyle replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want.'"
    Jr nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

    Kyle Busch calls the police, and says, "They stole my dashboard, they stole my steering wheel, they stole my brake pedal, Hell, they even stole my gas pedal..."
    Then, before the cops can ask where he is, he says, "Hey, never mind, I'm in the back seat."

    Did you hear why Kyle Busch gave up his sponsorship from M&Ms?
    He Said he just didnt like to deal with M&Ms, Sure they taste good but "they sure is hard to peel!"

    Kyle Busch is out taking a stroll in the snow. He slips off a Icy bridge, hits his head, and falls into an icy river. Three kids see it happen. They jump in and save him. When he comes to, he says, "Boys, you saved a NASCAR driver. You each deserve a reward. You name it, and You Got It!" The first kid says, "I'd like to go to Disneyland." Kyle Busch says, "I'll send you and your whole family for a week at Disneyland." The second boy says, "I'd like a 4 wheeler so I can Go out mudbogging out behind my house" Kyle Busch says, "I'll get you the best Four Wheeler With all the safety Features and I'll have someone teach you how to drive it safely." The third kid says, "I'd like a electric twin-turbo wheelchair with a HiFi stereo and Cruise Control." #18 says, "I'll get you the Best ... Wait a second, you're not handicapped, You don't need a Wheelchair." The kid says, "I will be when my father finds out who I saved from drowning."

  • Do you think Kyle Busch still has the "Checkers or Wreckers" mentality?

    May be...

  • kyle will be done with the checkers or wreckers when he is sitting in first place heading into homestead and wrecks from a stupid decision and loses the championship. he has come a long ways but he is still a little hot headed to compete for the cup. i like kyle, hes got alot of talent and the smarts to be great. hes just really young and still learning. look at alot of drivers who were the checkers and wreckers and became the greats. ned jarrett, junior johnson, david pearson, dale earnhardt, darrell waltrip, carl edwards, tony stewart, the list goes on. it will come with age.
  • He never really had it to begin with.
    Contrary to popular opinion.
  • Yes, and I think that's who he is. I think it makes him and individual and I like him for that reason.. It wouldn't bother me a bit if he never "grows up" as haters like to say.
  • yes...hes going to take out anyone in his way..
  • No way Jose! But if he did I'd smile. :)
  • Kyle was real good with mark last week. I was surprised. gave him plenty of room. I think he will be concerned about making it in the chase and will actually be careful which could get him in trouble.
  • he still needs to grow up. he got a lesson in humbleness this week when mark martin raced him fairly and had opportunities to wreck him but didn't.

    many drivers can take a lesson from marks examples.canada hosting internet

    What makes nascar so interesting?

    May be...

  • Kyle Busch makes things interesting, Kyle is Kool




    I can already see the thumbs down.
  • If you want to know what makes NASCAR so interesting, you have to understand what it takes to create the "object of play" (the race car).
    Now if you compare that to the "object of play" in a ball game, you would wonder why people get excited over a "ball".
  • Many people like it.

    The racing is competitive and the drivers are still fairly accessible unlike most sports starts.
  • It is a family sport. Everyone gathers together on Sundays, cooks on the grill and enjoys an exciting NASCAR race. With all the fuel mileage, wrecks, lead changes, pit strategy, it's the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Once the Chase for the Cup starts, it only heats up even more until a Champion of the most popular sport in the country has been crowned.
  • Something that I think is interesting is when somebody comes in to the pits and when they come out they gain like 8 spots from how quick their pitstop was. Also, it is interesting when the 2 first and second placemen cars come around the last corner and they are right next to each other and one of them pulls ahead of the other to come in 1st.

    Now that is what is interesting about NASCAR!!!
  • many people find it boring? More find it fun and exciting. Don't bother "trying" to become a fan. It isn't for you. Go play hopscotch instead. Don't hurt yourself.
  • meh, i dont find it all that interesting. I would reconsider another sport. i tried to like it but its not my taste. i would look into rubgy if i were you.
  • All I can suggest is to go to a race, even if it is a local dirt track and watch it live in person. A race on television can be a little boring at times. Live you can just about see everything that goes on and see the competition that goes on during a race. And if you still find it boring, then you more than likely always will.
  • Good for you. Nascar is a fast paced, technical sport. The cars are driving at such fast speeds that it's impossible to not be fascinated by it. Then there's the driving. Each driver runs hard and beats and bangs for 500 laps. It can get boring at times, but you always have to keep a chin up. Then, grab a nice cold Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade (I don't know how I lived without that stuff for so long), some popcorn, twizzlers, and snuggle down on the couch with your pet Gungan and watch you some NASCAR!!
  • Nascar is a family sport. It is the only sport that many of the drivers bring their family. There is a lot of history there.

    Many families sit in front of the T.V. and cheer on the favorite driver.
  • all the drama
    it's almost like high school drama ;]
    the races are awsome but at the end someone always ends up hating each other
  • NASCAR Stock Car racing allows for more competitive racing. Bumping each other, trading paint, rubbin' tires. They can do all of this without wrecking or causing too much damage to each other. You won't get that from most other forms of racing, specifically open wheel racing of any sort (Formula One, Indy, etc.).

  • How can i become a nascar famous gas man?

  • Does the Canadian GP have a chance of returning for 2010?

    May be...

  • The issues were Bernie wanted an average of $22 million over the next five years from the track for the race. The tracks in F1 do not get any of the TV money, so that $22 million had to come from gate receipts and sponsorship. The track management was not able to commit to that amount, so the race was dropped.

    Rumors are flying that the race will return for 2010. That means either a wonderful corporation with money to burn came out of the woodwork, Bernie caved, or the race won't be back.
  • Yeah, thankfully Bernie has seen the light, hes already claimed hed like to see the Canadian GP back next year. It should never have been axed, stoopid decision, hope its back soon.
  • They couldnt find a sponser to help funding. The people in the city didnt want to pay the taxes. According to SPEEDTV the race has been added for next year. I havent looked anywhere to back it up yet.

    Bernie is getting excited about a USGP for next year too. Monza last year he said they have it narrowed to 3 venues

    I dont understand. More F1 money comes from the US and Northamerica than any other region, and somehow theres no race here and only one in the western hemisphere
  • The race got axed in 2009, citing "economic issues." What issues. I want the Canadian GP back, pronto! Is there anyway to have the Canadian GP back for 2010?
  • Weel, they didn't have the funds Bernie asked for. The amount needed to stage a race was not in their reach. Plus, I think when the track surface broke up in 2008 just gave Bernie more reason to axe it.

    If they can get race funding and there's a spot on the calendar for them, i'd say it's possible. (There are new possible venues for F1 which include India and South Korea...) It's one of those venues that have provided exciting races over the years. And F1 needs to have a race in the Americas. Having Canada back would be good for F1fromtier airline
  • Did anyone hear our nations president say NASCAR was good for the American automotive industry?

    May be...

  • He put in a whole bunch of good words for NASCAR, and the American automotive industries relation with NASCAR.
  • Obama is all about the Auto companys. Look at CARS, Just another way to get us to buy more expensive cars. Nothing in it for the unemployed worker. Just more cash for those who make way to expensive cars. Nascar has nothing to do with what happens to any american car company or foriegn car company. how many millions are out of work like me and have unenployment finished and still cant find work? That what he should be talking about. Not how Nascar makes them looks.
    Just mt P....d off opinion.
  • His government owns 2 of the 4 makes of cars. Of course he would say it was good for the auto industry. He is probably right about this one. I wonder who actually wrote that statement and put it on Obama's teleprompter because you can rest assured he didn't think this up himself.
  • He really needed to do more research. He was mistaken when he said that NASCAR was started by moonshiners racing at Daytona beach during prohibition. I hate it when politicians make statements about things they know nothing about.
  • I didn't but its about time someone puts out a good word for the American auto industry and NASCAR.

    I get tired of hearing about people who have probably never even been in an American car claim its crap because its American. Guess what people the parts that make a GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, BMW and everything else are all made by the same suppliers.

    Sometimes it seems like the midwest and NASCAR country are the only ones that support the American auto industry.
  • It's nice to know that President Obama has good things to say about NASCAR. Good for him! Great for NASCAR!


    Stewart Haas Racing!
  • I sure did. I watched the whole thing on ESPN2. It should be a good boost for the US automakers & Nascar. I was glad to see it.
  • Well that was mighty good of him. I wonder why he said that? Hmmm.
    NASCAR will sink or swim regardless of what he says.
    I am so glad that Kyle had "other commitments".
  • Good
  • he was just looking for brownie points with the American public.
  • I hope Barack becomes an avid Dave Blaney fan and sponsors his car for a few races to see what they can do.

  • Are Wingless Sprint Cars less expensive to run than Winged Sprints?

    May be...

  • On the west coast we have Spec-Sprints that only allow 2 barrel carbs and 4 barrel intake. We also have Wingless Pavement/Asphalt Sprints (360 2 barrel).
  • Yes, wingless sprint cars cost less to run than racing with a wing. The two largest cost factors in operating any race car are tire and engine costs. At racing speeds, the 25 sq. ft. wing area on a sprint car generates well in excess of 700 lbs. of down force. The down force creates exponentially more load on the engine, increasing the stress on the crank shaft, bottom end bearings, as well as the connecting rods. Also, because of the increased grip, the engine operates in a higher rpm range, on average. Tire costs are also increased due to the loads generated by the wing.

    I like both winged and non-wing sprint car action; but facts are facts.
  • not really, just the cost of the wing mostlyhundred spokes
  • Is anyone else mad that NASCAR helped Kyle Busch win with all of those pace laps?

    May be...

  • You just now realizing that? It's been going on. They let him (Toyota) drive cars with engines that had an unfair advantage over the rest of the field. They also allowed Toyota to run smaller openings in the front of the cars which was unfair. The whole idea of the COT was to even the playing field and then NASCAR allows Toyota (Kyle's car) to have an aerodynamic advantage.

    Yea it seemed like the cautions kept Kyle up front. I'm with you dude.
  • Kyle earned that win. Go take your conspiracy theories somewhere else.
  • ROFL *sniff*
    Yes I am so with you...they call all of those cautions and make those cars wreck only for Kyle to get up front and WIN. Has nothing to do with an "ok" car and an awesome driver. I think they were probably just trying to get their ear digging koozie salesman up front and well...it didn't work...or doesn't work...not in years.
  • I Am.
  • I don't think NASCAR helped anybody win. NASCAR doesn't need the problems that would go along with a scandal like that. Besides, there are plenty other things they could do to improve ratings. Let's try to get through the rest of the season without any more conspiracies.

    And now people are bringing Junior into this? Didn't see his name anywhere in the question.
  • Yeah I thought that for years.
  • I've never been a Kyle Shrub fan-I'll say this-he won last night because he and his car were the best. He and Martin drove their butts off, hard, never ran into each other. That's driver skill. Both were driving into the corners further than they had the entire race. I kept expecting one of them to lose it-they didn't.
    Bristol is the type of track any junk on the apron can cause a major accident-even though it looks like it's not valid for a caution.

    I agreed on the red flag.
  • It only happens to Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, or Kyle Busch. That makes me mad.
  • there was 6 to go when they red flagged the race.they red flagged it because they didn't want a green white checkered.if anyone helped him win it was martin because he wasn't going to win unless he raced him dirty and wrecked him.martin doesn't wreck people for the win like Big E used to do and it has cost him some wins like Daytona when Harvick beat him to the line.
  • Seems to me that nascar does that a lot.Sometimes they try to help by having a caution whenever they want one.I think they should have took some points from him last week when he showed his ***, but I guess nascar have their reasons.After all that's why they call it the Kyle Busch Show.
  • No, do you really think they try and make everything that complicated
  • NASCAR is also responsible for the death of Martin Luther King and Kennedy and filming the moon landing in Charlotte NC. NASCAR didn't even start in the US.

    Sorry, I have to go take my antipsychotic drugs and put more sugar in my bowl of Captain Crunch.
  • I was more mad that somebody sabotaged Jimmie's tire so it wouldn't go on his car straight, and the shooter in the grassy knole that missed and took out Tony's radio instead of Kyle's engine.

    Please....he won the race fair and square. He raced smart, and clean. NASCAR threw a red flag so we had some laps left to watch the boys race. If they hadn't, we would have had a green white checkered.
  • There was no 30 lap caution...gimme a break.

    I love conspiracy theories.
    They entertain me.
  • your sad......
  • In the last 70 laps or so it seemed like a minor caution flag was 30 laps. Plus, when Michael Waltrip crashes, they should have started with 6 to go, not 4. Was NASCAR trying to help Kyle Busch to get the most hated driver in the chase for the ratings of having him?
  • If there is anyone NASCAR would not help it's Kyle Busch.
  • Not at all because no one really cares about NASCAR.
  • That is very possible, since Nascar is rigged.
  • i'm totally with you i'm mad because he always has a fast car and the other drivers help him win.
  • Live with it Jr. lovers, the King won..cry and whine if it makes you feel better...Maggie you are brilliant, love your style...
  • yeah im MAD!brodit cradle
  • Who will win Bristol?

    May be...

  • Kurt Busch
  • Jeff Gordon no doubt
  • Mark Martin
  • i say kyle bush then mark martin. and most likely michael waltrip will wreck
  • Either Mark Martin or Jeff Gordon, Mark has a good car and Jeff has been flying through the field. I doubt Kyle Busch will even make it to the end...
  • I'm hoping that it's either Mark Martin or Marcos Ambrose.
  • Bill H is my long lost twin brother! Oh and if I would have seen this question b4 the race ended I would have said Kyle Busch. Go Rowdy Go!!!
  • I think Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin are the ones who will have a shot at victory tonight. Kurt Busch is looking good too, but it will be a battle between the Hendrick cars for the win IMO.
  • They usually keep the script private. That way people will watch the race. If we knew in advance there would be no reason to watch the race.
  • Montoya....Just a feeling
  • Kyle Busch. MM second
  • JImmy J
    Martin
  • PAUL MENARD or DIGGER
  • One of 43 Nascar drivers
  • kyle busch. go kyle
  • dale junior!jaleo happy hour
