Which sprint cup driver are you voting into the All Star race?

May be...

  • I voted for David Stremme and Elliot Sadler.

    I'd give all my votes to Stremme, but I don't know what he'd drive.
  • I voted for Robby Gordon 892,000 times then they finally had a pop up window that said I already voted once from this I.P. address. Man I was bummin.
  • Pat N - Jeff Burton is already in the race. He has won within the past two years - last year at Texas, and this year at Bristol.

    As for those not in the race yet, I'd love to see Carpentier in just for the fun of it. He has run his tail off to get into races week after week. I think he or Franchitti could provide some excitement.

    But in the end, Elliot Sadler has become my choice. And not because Dale Jr. "endorsed" him - he's just a great racer and a great guy (anyone see he and Hermie on "The Real Deal") - even if he couldn't make it the first few laps around Darlington. His interview apologizing to his team and to Tony and his team showed class.

    My boy Rowdy could stand to learn a little from both that and from Junior's interviews throughout the week. I don't want to go overboard and actually become "liked" or anything ;-)

    Got to keep up that "rile 'em up" bad-boy image, but a little grace now and then would be nice.

  • jeff burton
  • i voted for elliott sadler like 50 times.
  • Michael Waltrip.
  • Reed Sorenson
  • Elliott Sadler! Thanks for the votes for him! He's my favrite driver but I hope he races his way in.
  • Kasey Kahne. I vote about 30-40 times per day!!
  • Kasey Kahne
  • Michael Waltrip and Kyle Petty
  • GO waltrip! would lie to see the #84 get in also
  • What lap will the first caution come out with this new pavement?

    May be...

  • Lap 18.
    3 STR8 N 08!!!
  • 30
  • Lap 11.

    Go Jr.>>>>
  • Lap 4
  • 25
  • lap 14 jr in the wall
  • I'm going within lap 12, lap 14. it will just be someone getting into the wall, nothing too serious.

    many will leave the race tonight with a Darlinton stripe when the checkered flag drops at the end.
  • I think within the first 10 laps of when they are 2 wide once they get to single file we might not see one for awhile. But i have a feeling they are going to break a record in cautions tonight.
  • I think the first caution will come out within the first twenty laps of the race
  • lap 6
  • Second lap. Someone will bounce off the wall and wreck ten cars.
  • lap 15
  • Unfortunately, probably the 1st lap ...

    Almost all the drivers seem to be having a problem with the higher speeds ?
  • Well, here's our answer....
    # 2

    #19 up into #20 1st turn, 2nd lap
    I guess Hawk was closest
  • 5
  • Lap 3....just my opinion.
  • Do you think Steve Wallace will ever turn out to be as good as his father Rusty Wallace?

    May be...

  • You know Superdave, he is only 20 yrs old If he is smart and listens to his dad, and ignore all the crap out there (yes even me) who have ripped him to shreds I think he has a shot..Last yr I wanted to rip him a new one. But this yr, yeah yeah that crap with that litte Shrub (just because he is a cup *ick) I think Steven will be in a couple yrs a pretty good driver..not gonna say he is gonna be as good as his dad, even "I" know Rusty Wallace his dad was a awesome driver..Steven if he matures the way "he" needs to mature, and ignore the media, I think he will be just fine...gotta admit, dang he's cute. Yes a top 5 at Darlington at 20 y/o yep he's gonna be fine...There might even be some Miller Lites in his future.
  • he'll be good, but i don't he will be as good. only time will tell.
  • Yes I do. It seems like over the past couple of weeks he has been getting better and better!
  • I wish he would punch Busch in the mouth. Then, I would be a fan of his for life.

    Seriously, I think the kid has potential.
  • I think he will be better but he will play the villian role like Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart.
  • He is only 20 years old, had another top 5 tonight in Darlington.
  • nerver
  • rusty sucked!!!!!! and i bet steve will also!!!!!!
  • Possibly... he is pretty good! It's hard to be as good as Rusty though. Steve has a lot of fire to him, which is fun to watch. I loved his post race interview after the run-in with Little Busch. He sounded like a true southern racer, you couldn't understand half of what he said. =)
  • I don't think so, but he could be
  • Are questions about Kyle Busch forbidden?

    May be...

  • Actually winter glory, the questions about Jr hitting the wall at Richmond are still there. A lot of Jr bashing questions are still around. Now all of a sudden Kyle screws up and questions about it are deleted. And everyone whines about Jr Nation being thin skinned.
  • people don't like the questions and report them.
  • Kyle Busch questions are too psychotic for the unrated public.
  • I keep seeing questions about him disappear for some unknown reason.
  • Ive asked two questions, and both were deleted. I guess Jr Hation is out full force tonight.....See below...


    Edit: Thank you bobbi, and I nominate you for the best answer award!! Go Jr!
  • wtf!?!?!
    u know that... u just asked a question about him now u will see if they r forbidden
  • Sounds like a troll infestation
  • Ok guys and gals, lets get along. If not Im going to start posting you tube videos of roof camera footage on here. Have a nice evening Lynn. LOL!
  • betcha if I were asking questions like those about Jr., they'd get deleted, too..
  • Well, I've seen the question, "Are you happy that Scrub went into the wall?" get deleted. I'm not the person reporting, but I don't think that is right. It's kind of immature and sick to be happy that someone wrecks.
  • I don't care for his immaturity, or his driving style either, but seriously, when the subject line says yer happy about a crash, ANY crash, are you really surprised it was deleted?

    He's not gonna win over any friends tonight.
    The replay shows that he went UP into the car next to him, yet he blamed the other guy, who was trying to stay up high, out of his way?
  • they will tell you the reason.i love watching crashes personally.look for them on you tube.
  • Yeah, Lynn whats up with that, I was ready to answer the one about the Shrub in the wall and dang it was gone.. Can't we all just have fun with this...geez people its not the end of the world..Its just Jr Nation and the Shrubery have some fun..Did anyone notice that the Navy #88 was right there with the Shrub tonight...I think Kyle doesn't like that number for some reason, I bet he has night mares about #88 in his deepest wildest dreams..lol

    Go dale Jr & Hms
  • Winter Glory there were many questions celebrating Jr's wreck last weekend. I didn't see any deleted.
  • A certain mass of people report them and they get deleted.
    This does nothing but make the "fan" reporting the questions look inmature.
  • Apparently so and hopefully YA investigates the person who keeps reporting people for asking questions about Kyle Busch because I didn't see anything wrong with The President Of JR Nation's question and it got deleted. Just like Kyle Busch this person needs to GROW UP!!
  • don't really care one way or the other about the SHRUB. They can be deleted all night.

    What movie was the first to put a paint scheme on a Nascar racecar?

    May be...

  • Jurassic Park: The Lost World was the first movie to be a main sponsor on a Nascar car (Jeff Gordon's #24 in 1997). The following year were Small Soldiers on Bobby Labonte's #18, and Batman and Joker on Dale Jarrett's #88 and Kenny Irwin's #28. Movies Promoters really didn't discover the marketing potential of Nascar until the late '90's. Even with Days of Thunder, there was no car paint scheme to go with the release of the movie.
  • If your asking which movie first grazed the hood of a car, I think it was Jurassic Park on Jeff Gordons hood. But I'm not 100% sure on this.
  • Does anyone know or have details about the very first motion picture to have a custom car at a Nascar race? What movie was the first to have one? Was it Day's of Thunder?
  • I agree with you It was Days of Thunder, Tom Cruise was one heck of a NASCAR Driver in that film.
  • The movie batman was on bill elliots car
  • Do NASCAR drivers urinate on themselves while driving?

    May be...

  • No...I like Super Dave's idea only I think they connect a hose to them and it goes out the tail pipe.
    I take it you've never worked out in the heat n broke a sweat before.... =o~}
  • I'm not sure... But if you have to go, you have to go!
    i mean in basketball...when those guys who are paid to wipe up sweat come on to the court...do u really thinkthey're wiping up sweat??? i dont think so..
  • I don't understand why people are so concerned with how a driver pee's. They do what they have to do.

    ^^^^ Hey SuperDave was that a little sarcasm I sensed?
    Hahaha...too funny!
  • No.

    Have you ever worked for hours in the sun while drinking water and sweating? How often did you have to urinate?
  • Only the ones that enjoy that sort of thing.
  • I assume they just go. For the money they make, I'd certainly go in my pants. But I imagine they sweat it out mostly.
  • harry gant once said he had to go extremely bad so he did during a race he won
  • NO THEY TAKE A PILL BEFORE THE RACE ITS WHAT IVE HEARD
  • They tape an 8X10 glossy of Dale Jr. on the floorboard to use as a target.
  • Forget it. The drivers will worry about that right?
  • No,, they just hang it out the window and let r rip. Thats what all that fluid is from you see on the roof cameras on TV. Good question though, its never been asked in here before.
  • Is prohibited that they eat or drink... hours before racing...
  • You mean the drivers pee??????

    God, and here I was thinking they were perfect.

    Get a ride, and find out for yourself. Then let us know fersuredude.

    Superdave, we are not worthy, we are not worthy.......LOL

    Bamaboy, what exactly is a diper? Some kind of a spoon?
  • How often do you see football player running to the locker room to pee? You have to hold it or sometimes in Nascar, just go.
  • They wear a Diper. Sp if they have to go they go. My dad use to race in the truck series and I want to be a nascar racer when i grow up and he said they where dipers
  • I'd say the way everyone is driving this year a few of them do
  • Superdave, you crack me up..Okay so now we know where all that liquid is....make ya think...its amazing how many people are interested in drivers piss...lol

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • I've explained this a lot of times, but I'll do it again just for you!
    There is a small holding tank under the seat. A hose runs from the driver through the bottom of the seat to the holding tank. There is a valve on the left hand side of the seat. Under caution only, the driver can drop down on to the apron and dump the tank using this valve. It is against the rules to dump the tank on the track as this could cause an accident. If you have to #2, you just have to wait.
    Hope this helps!!!
  • They drive for hours and drink lots of fluids. What do they do when they have to go?
  • No, they have a little troll that lives on the floor board that they pee on.
  • Yes, and sometimes even when they are not driving.
  • What do you think about special paint schemes?

    May be...

  • Yeah, I have the Dale Jr Mountain Dew Die Cast got it on monday, I'm going to have to get a part time job soon, I want that new National Guard Camo one also...I'm sure DW is gonna be so excited to see the Mountain Dew car on Sunday take the green flag he won't be able to contain himself.. I love different paint schemes but I'm being more selective now, since Dale Jr has a zillion new paint schemes this yr, and I hear theres more AMP ones to come, after all Amp comes several different color cans..Maybe I'll start getting the smaller ones..This is a expensive habit/hobby..

    Go Dale Jr & Hms
  • I love them, I have the original silver select car and I paid a ton of $$$ to get it, then Action decided to re-release it in the Life Time Series that they done for Sr. Which by the way really upset me because now the car really isn't worth what it use to be. It turned me off from buying alot of diecast, but I still love the change of pace.

    Sorry for the rant, that's something I could go on for days about.

    Also, just for a little added knowledge for newer folks or future collectors, the Silver Select car was the first real special paint scheme in NA$CAR.
  • A couple a year would be cool , I'm a collector myself . I also used to be a dealer , gave it up because I couldn't stock all the paint schemes people wanted .Still have hundreds left from mid '90's to about '01, hats and T's too . Anybody want anything special , I might have it. Very little for JR & SR cause that's who I collect. Got a few hundred thousand cards also .
  • To me it really depends on what the paint job is. Some I like and others I don't. They have to be really cool for me too like them.
  • you must have not seen this 1

    but i cant wait to see it on the track an on tv
  • I like them, Jr usually has the best ones.
  • I like them I mean yeah, it's kinda a pain in the a*s when you collect diecasts, but there are some really cool ones. The biggest pain is finding them in the cheap stuff(aka Wal-Mart) although I do have Jr's camo scheme from last year, and all the DEI Dale Sr tribute cars. Scary thing is I called that retro Dew scheme months ago.
  • Dale Jr is running the retro Mt Dew car this weekend ( I'll bet ole' DW is even more excited when he says Boogity-Boogity-Boogity!) and the 3 Doors Down Citizen Soldier car during the all-star race, and it got me thinking about special paint schemes.

    I like the change of pace, but it costs me a ton of money because I collect diecast. It all started for me when Dale Sr. ran the silver RJR 25th aniversary car in the 1995 Winston.

    What do you guys think about special paint jobs?
  • i love it so i got more than just 1 theme on shirts, so that way i wear the shirt with what car hes racin. Ya i know im a freeek, cant help it, i love the guy, GO JR 88, so i'll be wherin my mntn dew gear!!!
  • I think they are a lot of fun, but I don't collect every single one anymore. If it's especially cool, then I get one. With all the special paint schemes about every week these days, it'll put the working class diecast collector into the poorhouse.
  • when D.W ran the Mt.Dew Car he was undefeated and maybe Jr. is trying to get on some of that magic mojo and help him get a win.
    I like the different paint schemes because it mixes things up a little. I say change the red Bud car once in a while too.
    GO # 9 Kasey Kahne
  • I love them. They're a nice change of pace. I collect diecasts also, and the only thing that I hate is having to wait months for the new schemes to be made available.
  • It's all in the grand scheme of things NASCAR!
  • Breaks the monotonity of the regular schemes, looks good, its alright in my book.
