  • And your point would be???

    Did you ever hear of Winston Cup?

    How about Busch Series??

    Craftsman Truck???

    They pay there $$$$$ to NASCAR and get their names emblazoned in our faces for four hours every Sunday. Sounds like a good marketing plan.

    I personally don't camp, but if I did i would buy at one of their stores if one was close by. How many Superbowl Sponsors can you name?
  • I have also noticed it, not only in the cup though, it has become apparent in the Nationwide series, they have had the same company sponsor a majority of their races. Not just Camping world but other ones too. I cant say much for the early 80's when it happened (I wasnt born yet). But yes, I have noticed that too.There's been a couple lifelocks in the Cup along with the Camping world. Camping world, Kroger, and Dollar General have basically been switching it up in the Nationwide series.
  • Now that you mention it does seem that way in the NASCAR Cup and Busch/Nationwide Series.

    Camping World does have a low NASCAR division called the NASCAR Camping World Series.
  • Hey, I'm just happy that SOMEONE is sponsoring these races and cars! And no, I've never seen a Camping World either, but you have to admit, it makes a good sponsor for NASCAR... even if we do see them sponsoring every other race and 3 cars in each race...

    For the record, I've never seen a Menard's, either.
  • It seems like it. I had never heard of Camping World until last year when they sponsored a few Kevin Harvicks Nationwide cars and Craftsman trucks.

    There are not any of the stores remotely close to me here in east Texas and only five in the state.

  • It seems almost every week Camping World and one of their divisions is the primary race sponsor. New Hampshire, Dover, next week in Kansas. Then there were some races in the spring and summer. So here's my question......is the economy so bad that NASCAR is giving Camping World a bargain basement price to sponsor multiple events?
    Or is Camping World one of the richest companies in America????
    Has anyone else noticed this???? Just think it's wierd they are listed as the sponsor for almost every race. I haven't seen something like this since the early 80's when J.D.STACY sponsored nearly 11 cars at the same time!!!! Let me know what you think!
  • No it not you. They are on the truck,nationwide & cups cars. They are on Harvick's trucks & nationwide team & also Robby Gordon cars & maybe some more. Maybe they have more money than J.D. Stacy had.
  • They secured sponsorship at least a year ago. They're doing this because now is camping season so they want our business for the fall campers.

    How much horse power does a Formula 1 race car have?

    frog city and the racing frogs
  • With the new 2.4 V8 about 750bhp.
    3.0 V10 had about 920 bhp in 2005
    In the turbo years of the mid 1980s, they could ave up to 1300bhp though only in qualification as the engine woulnt last a race distane with that much.
    In the late 1950s more like 250bhp area
  • Our RA108 gets up to 1027 bhp on our rolling road

    but as i say thats a rolling road. On a track it's more likely to be at the most 1010 bhp

    but to be honest it's pretty much impossible to know for sure on a track.

    **so it's a safe bet that McLarens and Ferarris are up to 2000**

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

  • Does Greg Biffle prove that the "Chase" is really screwed up?

    May be...

    ibahn code
  • YES
  • glad kyle lost and the point system is messed up.so glad the idiot with big ears has no chance to win.......oops
  • Definitely !
  • Jeff Gordon is proof that the chase is really screwed up.
    Thanks for your condolences Lenny, even if they were meant in sarcasm.
  • Yes it is,but.........Kyle going down made my day,if Jimmy can't win 3 in a row, then I hop its someone like Biffle or Edfwards.
  • I don't like the chase, but I don't see anything wrong with the fact he's won 2 races and isn't leading. The first 26 races have to mean something. Edwards and JJ won races and Greg didn't. And I am very not upset about "poor Kyle".
  • Yes Biff proved the chase is real screwed up but he certainly made for great racing Sunday with his 2 team mates.
  • i am glad that Kyle screw up again i hope 99 wins the chase
  • Johnson and Edwards had bonus points for winning. Greg did not win until last week, and Edwards and Johnson are always in the Top 5 it seems. If Greg keeps on winning he will be out front as he is only 10 behind Edwards now. As for Kyle he would not have the points lead anyway as Edwards would be ahead of him under the old system.
  • I love the points system. It makes it WAY more fun. My favorite part IS Busch being in last in the race.
  • Biffle should be leading. It's working because Kyle Busch's last! (:
  • Yes, it is screwed up. I understand how you feel because I felt that way last year when Jeff didn't win the championship. He ran awesome leading up to the Chase but didn't get it. It wasn't even that he ran that badly in the last 10 races, but he didn't run as well as Jimmie did.
  • He wins the first 2 races (Good for you #16) and is still not the front runner????? I am still VERY UPSET about poor Kyle............

  • Who was the top 10 drivers today? If Tony Stewart was not one of them what place did he come in?

    What happened to kyle?

  • Kyle Busch falls even farther back in the points pretty much eliminating his chances at winning the the Sprint Cup. His sour attitude didn’t help him either. After the race on an interview on ESPN he said something like “Just forget it,” “it doesn’t matter,” and “Who cares’ So it feels like to me that he doesn’t want to win a championship. That is the real reason he cannot win this not his position in the chase.
  • Kyle blew his engine up. On about lap 140 or 141 he made a pass on Jimmie Johnson and Reed Soreson and over-reved his engine. On lap 142 he came over the radio and said "we're blowing up".

    Funny how all year it's the driver and not the car and then when he blows his engine up then it suddenly becomes the car and not the driver. Talking about double standards.
    -----
    He knew it was his fault he blew the engine up. I am a real good person for reading other people's character and the singing part is an admission of guilt. He knew he blew it up and that's the reason he wasn't mad. Any other time Kyle would have stormed off. Then he tried to say it started blowing up on the restart. WRONG. Just another cover-up for a fault that was his own. The previous caution was on lap 64. That was like 78 laps before. He wasn't blowing up on restart. He blew it up trying to get around Jimmie.

    Watch the replay. The announcers will not tell it like it is, but I will.
  • WHOA!!!!

    Somebody besides Petty finished in 43rd!!!

    But no, wait, they are both named Kyle...

    LOL

    His lucky streak just ran out. Hopefully he can pull it back together in the next 7 races and make the finale a real good race.
  • I totally agree with Dianne. Haven't you noticed all the luck he's gotten this season? He's won 8 races (3 or so with green-white-checkered finishes) he's barely missed something like 15 wrecks and he always dodges bullets! His luck ran out.

    seems it has gone to Biffle
  • Good luck will only last so long before it goes bad.
  • he had the engine that couldn't keep running
    my take is his brother is jealous or he is blaming everyone else again for his failures
  • Plain and Simple...Lady Luck ran out and bit him, sorry to say and no it is not sabotage in any circumstance..he may bounce back but it will be a total battle to be in top 5 when its over in Homestead!

    Just an opinion, don't hate me!
  • Kyle Petty finished 40th. Kyle Busch finished 43rd.

    Shrub has lost his momentum. He may or may not get it back. This is why I don't like the chase.
  • he was told he wasnt going to win any more, thats it for the season. They dont want to make it look like its scripted....
  • Engine. I predicted three weeks ago when everyone was saying he's the next Richard Petty he would have some bad luck. He didn't have any the first 26 races. It always averages out.
    Don't know if he can come back-he sure has flamed out.
  • did his team get fed up with him blaming it on them if he loses and sabotage his cars what are your takes on why hes doing so bad ?
  • well- he blowed the fvck up
  • Ya know they always say this deal is part car, part team, part driver and a lot of luck. When all four are aligned there is no stopping them but if one is missing or two the deals over. The past two races were long overdue and poorly timed but it was the car and luck that failed not the driver or the team. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
  • KYLE is not doing bad. His cars are....there's a difference.

    Mechanical problems happen all the time in NASCAR Tina, guess Junebug's blown engine's last year were driver related?

    Ya gonna log into your 12 different accounts and send a violation notice my way?

    This doesn't look like over-reving his engine to me.

  • Kyle has had some bad luck the last couple of weeks it happens it just sucks for him and his fans that it is happening at chase time but I definitely don't think he team is sabotaging him they want him to do good too! It's just been a string of bad luck for the last couple of races for him
  • Every team has an off week or two from time to time.
    The #18 team just has really rotten timing.

    Look for them to regroup and finish strong.
  • If jimmie wins the championship this year, will it be a record?

  • it will tie cal yarborough's record of 3 in a row 1976-78

  • No but Jimmie will be a lot cooler if he does win! And you will be very happy.
  • He'll tie the record set by Cale Yarborough with 3 in a row.
  • if not, then who holds the record, and how many championships in a row is it?
  • If he wins 3 championships in a row, he'll be tied with William Caleb (Cale) Yarborough. Cale won the 1976, 1977, & 1978 Winston Cup Series Championships. Go Jimmie!
