Gotta be Tony Stewart.. everything is everybody else's fault with him.. Now I do believe he is a really great driver..but hate his whining. I'm going with Jeremy Mayfield. how could susan say mark martin is she a moron or what. it has montoya. so much hype not much to show Seems to be any driver who speaks their mind. I'm going with Smoke.. but all drivers whine and complain sometime...But Smoke is just more vocal.. Yes, Superdave Johnny Sauter he is in a category all by himself.. Im going to say Johnny Sauter, that man can cry a river. He is the worst I have ever seen. Kyle Busch
Robby Gordon Fans of the drivers who finish any place other than 1st. This question is based upon who you are and are not a fan of. So, there is no true answer. Tony Stewart hands down. That's why the chase includes 12 drivers instead of 10 now. Tony Stewart.
Tom P, it's still digress................. Tony Stewart. both of the bush brothers and tony and jeremy mayfield Probably Denny Hamlin. At least when some of the other drivers are "whining," they're doing it for a specific purpose (i.e. Stewart and the Goodyear thing) вЂ" albeit though they're maybe going about it in the wrong way вЂ" but Hamlin just complains about everything. He's got a complex, almost. Tie,
Denny Hamlin and Jeff Gordon. I'm going to take acception to the constant "Tony Stewart" as the biggest whiner, Tony talks about problems and calls it like it is-
Now as far as the real biggest whiner in NASCAR-well, that would have to be owner Jack Roush TONY STEWART Everyone who blogs here or writes to 'Nascar Scene' about Hendricks conspiracies. Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch. It is too subjective and fans of somebody will just say whoever the rival driver is. One thing I've noticed is no driver can speak their mind without it being labeled as "whining" from people that don't like that particular driver. The drivers that get the most microphones shoved in their face will undoubtedly get labeled as whiners. Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart will be what most people say but Kyle Busch has a tendency to complain more than most others, in my opinion. He even complains a lot when he has won or run pretty good. Much of the time he just doesn't seem very grateful for the opportunity he has. I suspect he will mature and get over this "phase" he seems to being going through and I really think he will win championships down the road. Tony Stewart, Mark Martin and Kurt Busch

Yes, they can rebuild the car before the Turkish GP but that doesn't mean they will be taking it there.
Trouble is they couldn't rebuild the car in time for the last day of testing in Barcelona and they need to test the car thoroughly before taking it to a GP and there's no other test day between Barcelona and Turkey.
So they'll probably postpone it's debut until the next race.
I think Paul Ricard is the next test. I think it's a bit odd, that after one crash, that could happen at any event, the team are saying they have to delay racing it coz it needs rebuilding.... What they really mean is that they'll have to get Red Bull to build another RB4 for them.... I don't think so. They should make Bourdais help fix it as punishment for crashing it. Of course they can. This is F1 man, where teams have big budgets (with the exception of SA of course). =p Do you think that the team can rebuild the new car before the turkish grand prix?
http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2... I hope so - the Turkish GP is 9-11 May, there is one b4 that 25-27 April Catalunya, doubt they are going to miss 2 GP's

Daytona was great. (I went this past February) Bristol would be GREAT but Texas is good too!
So my choices would be (in this order) Daytona, Texas and Bristol.
Have fun, what a GREAT gift! that would be soooooo nice of u i would do it it i where u i am kneow to yahoo ansers and it it sooo fun telling people things Talladega....
Its the ULTIMATE NASCAR EXPIERENCE!! Stick to old school tracks like Martinsville, Darlington or Richmond. They will appreciate the thought and love the race no matter where you get them tickets to. The night race at Bristol would also be awesome but is one of the toughest tickets to get in all of sports. One other place to consider is Charlotte. They would enjoy going around to the different shops, museums and team headquarters located in the immediate area if they have not been there before. Daytona by far The July Daytona race is always exciting, as is the August race at Bristol. Talladega is always fun, but because of the lack of hotels nearby, your parents would likely have to camp. That being said driver access at Talladega is incredible. Races at Darlington are always exciting, and now that the track has been repaved and the speeds are up near 200 mph, it could definitely be an exciting race. If your parents have never been to a race, I would also suggest springing for pit passes; getting that close to the teams and cars is an opportunity worth it for first-time race goers. You have it nailed. Daytona or the brickyard to be honest with you, I think any of nascars tracks are fun to go to As long as they arent the road courses those arent very fun, Ive been to a few tracks and they are equally as fun, each track has its own quirks and unique experiences Lowes Motor Speedway is a great racetrack. Great atmosphere. Bristol...well what can I say about Bristol. If price is no concern, go with Bristol in August. Awesome place.
I've never been, but really want to go to Richmond. Everyone tells me it's fantastic as well. Richmond always has great racing when I watch on TV, so it would probably be pretty sweet in person too. I'm treating myself to the August race at Bristol, as it is my birthday. Bristol is a good one. Obviously The 500 would be great. My first race was the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Even though Mears won on fuel mileage, I was not disappointed. Bristol would be hard to get tickets for unless you want to pay outrageous prices for tickets. send them to the Daytona 500, they will have a great time. Both great tracks. Lucky parents!! You more than likely not be able to get tickets to the Bristol night race. Its sold out way way in advance. About the only way to get tickets for that is either from a scalper at the track or buy them off EBay(which will be expensive). Daytona is a great track also, Ive never been there but plan to in the near future.There are usually quite a few tickets available before the 500 in February. Great present by the way! Bristol Night Race
Daytona Night Race
Lowe's All Star Challenge
Lowes Coca Cola 600 The Daytona 500!!!!!! They're all oval shaped, whatever's closest to you. you got the two best tracks. Daytona and Bristol.
I would say Daytona 1st then Bristol Ask your parents...in a sly way. Just start talking about the race and somehow bring up....So what's your favorite track? or if you could go to any race which would it be?
Not saying we couldn't give you good advice but it would be better hearing it from your parents...that way you know they will LOVE it when you surprise them for their anniversary. I am thinking of buying my parents NASCAR tickets for their anniversary, I was wondering what track is the best. I watch NASCAR but I am not as 'into' it as my parents are! I was thinking daytona, but i wanted to have your input.
Price not really a big deal. Location not really a big deal either.
I was thinking Daytona or bristol night race, but any input will help, like i said i dont know much about the tracks. Daytona wouldn't be a bad bet.
Bristol neither but those tickets would be pretty hard to come by though.
But I think Daytona. It kinda comes with more prestige. Daytona is done this year to the best of my knowledge... Poccono is a great track, lots of speed (fastest track in NASCAR) and tight turns... usually has quite a bit of crashes, as well as tons of history. Bristol is good also, or you can even get Indianapolis, very well known for its history and has a museum within the city based off of racing like DAYTONA does.

He will not only finish all laps but he will win!!! Go JR. dale jr will make the upcomming race i think he might just make them all or have a crash on the last turn { not unlike other earnhardts we know ] He is going to win dega!!!!!!!!! He's gonna lead the most important lap..the last one and win. Now he has decent equipment to drive, he can do it..
Go Dale Jr & Hms Junior is about to be plagued by 'The Media Curse.' He has been praised (more then usual) the last couple of races and after Phoenix, he was the main story on nascar.com and yahoo! sports.
You probably have no idea what I'm talking about... lemme explain.
Before the Texas race, the Speed TV crew on Raceday applauded Biffle for being 3rd place in standings. On that same day, he had problems... finished a nice 39th and is currently 10th in the standings.
Phoenix race, Mike Joy and Larry Mac were excited to mention that Sadler was running in fourth... WAS. That ended in disaster and in 41st.
I could go on... but I have a super poor memory. All I know is, me and my dad can foresee the next Yellow Flag just by listening to the announcers. Whenever a driver is being talked about, they tend to hit the wall. Hey, this could be a coincidence... or is it? He'll be in the garage by halfway point (100 laps).
Junebug's winless streak continues, BugHeadNation throws Amp cans all over the track again :^( To answer your supposed question, all 200.
DUH about Jr making the race. About the crash on the last turn thing, I smell a troll here. PEW! I think he will finish them all Unless he gets took out in the BIG ONE!!!!!!! unless something unforeseen happens, i think he'll finish them all... all of 'em
(who's we?) he willl crash on lap 147 Unless he is taken out in a wreck he should complete all 200 at Talladega. i think he will definitely finish and at last top five like he has been doing

Where is rosbif?

No!!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^....the biggest waste of space ever....^^^^^^^^^^^^ Best road racer ever wrecked Scott Pruett to win. No. Why waste all that space (and our time) with that format of your question?
Go Jr.>>>> I hope he stays there....don't like him AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! No. He's not on the entry list as I stated earlier for you. No he will not because his entry form looks like your question. No, he's really trying to concentrate on the Cup series this year. ^^^^^^^^LOL^^^^^^^^
Now at least we know what you do in mom's basement, at least what we can discuss here.
As far as your question, no , he will not race.
http://www.nascar.com/races/bg/2008/9/da... Who cares about him. We like American drivers!
May be...
Although it may have been on purpose, or may not have been... that arguement will have to be answered seperately.
However, the reason why Biffle happened to get that paticular pass was the fact that by the rules of NASCAR he had PASSED the car that was on the track in front of him in positions. (Meaning that while Newman is in the process of spinning out of control he is 'passed' by Biffle.)
Therefore when NASCAR decided that time had come to put out the yellow flag, Biffle's position was the first car a lap down and therefore he automatically got the 'lucky dog'.
However the better way to improve the 'lucky dog' rule would be to combine old-school with new. Let the flag come out, everyone continue to race to the start/finish line like the days of old, THEN after that's done take the first car down and use the 'lucky dog' rule. This would make it more harmful for someone to 'wall' another driver for the risk of being involved as well and loosing his spot by the time they get back to the finish line. I completely agree with you. Between this "lucky (spinner) dog" rule and the top 35 rule this sport is becoming a bunch of BS politics. Yes, it would seem that there is the proverbial loophole in the Lucky Dog Rule.
But, don't be surprised if NASCAR didn't already know about it.
They have made it clear that they will not tolerate "aggressive driving". Biff got away with this one.
The rule also states that the car that "caused the caution" is not eligible to receive the free pass. That is entirely up to the NASCAR officials to decide WHO caused the yellow.
I bet they park a few drivers before long, or hand out big penalties for doing this. I agree, NASCAR should change the rule. I never thought about it, but its true. You have pointed out the major flaw in the rule. Biffle obviously knew this loophole and used it to his advantage denying Newman the free pass. Jeff Gordon also said that it would be best to put the lucky dog directly ahead of the leader on the tail end of the lead lap and if he can stay ahead of the leader until the next caution then he can get back with the lead lap cars. I have never liked this rule. Yes I agree!!!!! If it becomes an issue, then Nascar will act accordingly I'm sure. I don't think Biffle wrecked him on purpose and further more if these drivers second down start doing this, NASCAR will just penalize them for rough driving. This is a non-issue in my opinion. We've had this rule for what 3 or 4 years now and we just haven't seen this happening and causing wide spread problems. You have a great point. I agree 100%. I think they need to get rid of the lucky dog and just let them race back to the line. It is dangerous, but it is so exciting. I agree I think that you do open another pandoras box if you let Nascar make some more of there "judgement calls". It would be tuff if multiple cars were involved and it was not as cut and dry as what you mentioned. It is something to look at especially if we started seeing this happen a lot!!! You really have noi clue do you?
Try to imagine cars in the middle of the back spending more time driving in there mirror while being passed by real racers with position. You should lose your "Guy Card" for such a
lame comment.
Mike
Speedway,Indiana I agree with you 200%
Go Jeff Gordon. I agree with you 110% You won't see people intentionally spinning out other cars. Dale Sr doesn't race anymore. the part of the rule that is not fair, is the part where the first driver a lap down does not get the lucky dog pass if he is involved in the caution, It should be modified to say ( unless the caution is caused by the second man down. here is why.
In Texas 2 weeks ago, Newman was the first man down to get the lucky dog pass, Biffle was the second man down, Biffle then hit Newman in the left back fender of the car, causing Newman to spin out of control, Caution is out and Newman is denied the lucky dog pass cause he is involved in the caution, they then give the lucky dog pass to Biffle, If this rule is not modified, you will start seeing the second man down, purposely spinning out the first man to to cause a caution and the second man gets the lucky dog, Looks to me like Biffle has that already figured out, and spun Newman out on purp[ose. I agree with u 100 % and u r right, The Biff new exactly what he was doing and didn't he finish in the top 5?
