Discuss.

Who is going to win tonight?

I say Jeff Gordon or Kyle Busch

[taltos]

I have a gut feeling that Jr. might do something or Tony.:tu

[Starscream]

How's the race going? Reds just lost.

[elderboy02]

Mark Martin is winning. It would be nice to see him win one.

I hated him in the 6 car, but now he's one of the old ones out there, I'm pulling for him.

Me too. I still don't like his whiny attitude, but he is a Hendrick car so I will root for him. Plus, he is old and never wins

The main reason I didn't like him is b/c he came down and dominated the Busch races. I think the good Cup drivers should not be allowed to race in the Busch (now Nationwide) series.

I see both sides of it. I mean, it would be nice to see the non-Sprint Cup guys win a race, but on the other hand, not as many people would show up for the races.

Not as many would show up at first, but after a few names are established, then tickets will sell. Besides, a lot of people just buy package race weekend tickets anyways.

I still wish NASCAR would start up another league (Southern League) and run all of the old tracks down South that aren't used by NASCAR anymore. N. Wilkesboro, Hickory, Old Nashville Fairgrounds, Rockingham, another Darlington event, a Bristol, Richmond, and Martinsville event.
I think this could be a big money maker if marketed right.

That, my friend, would be phenomenal. :dance: :wo

NASCAR has lost a lot of its core fan base over the last 10+ years. This might appease a lot of us rednecks.

[elderboy02]

I still say take a race away from boring ass Pocono or Cali and give one to Kentucky Speedway.

Cali hasn't been drawing like they thought it would. Take away an event. Pocono can be boring but it is unique. I kinda like Pocono and love the road courses (but glad there are only two)

[elderboy02]

Earnhardt Jr is extremely loose

[Starscream]

Wow. Didn't know no. 8 was parked.

[elderboy02]

Jr is lucky Stremme can't drive. The caution shouldn't have been thrown

My boy Gordon just got lucky :)

Trying to find coverage online.

[elderboy02]

That mf'er Hamlin was the one that caused the damage to Gordon

Great job by MW to take out Robbie Gordon:tu

We could get Dick Trickle, Rick Mast, and Bill Elliott to race :)

Throw in Nemechek, Mayfield, Ward Burton, Randy Lajoie (sp), and then some young new talent.

[elderboy02]

Don't forget Geoff Bodine so he can wreck the entire field. :r

Throw all the Bodines in there. Brett Geoff and Todd.:D

I miss Ward Burton. No matter if he wrecked, finished last, or won, he would always say: "We had a really great car" in his Southern drawl while his chin never moved :r

[elderboy02]

Ha! Here is a video where some guy says "We had a really great car": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFux9ON0fs8

He failed to qualify one week. He said he had better things to do anyway like go home and feed the chickens and hogs on the farm. A true country boy.:r

[elderboy02]

Here is a good example of Ward: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2MpBgBEzes

[elderboy02]

Man, whatever happened to Jerry Nadeau? I know he had a horrific crash, but damn, I thought he would come back. He had raw talent.

Ricky Craven too. Wish he would come back.

[Starscream]

Wikipedia says Nadeau retired after the big crash at Richmond.

[elderboy02]

We need Junior Johnson in the Southern League. If he isn't the league, then there is no Southern League.

[elderboy02]

Wikipedia says Nadeau retired after the big crash at Richmond.

I don't blame him. That was horrible.

[Starscream]

I don't blame him. That was horrible.

Said he had some skull damage. That would have scared me off too.

[Starscream]

Everyone text "DIGGER" to ***** to get your Digger wallpaper for only 1.99.


I wouldn't get my Digger wallpaper if they paid me.

Can a brother get an "Amen"?:)

It looks like Martin is going to win.

Larry said Martin is only 50. 50? He looks 65!
Props to him if he does win. I'm pulling for him tonight.

[Starscream]

Let's see if Jr ruins Martin's shot at the win.

[elderboy02]

Crap. Here we go. Who is gonna stay out

[elderboy02]

I would only take 2 tires

Do old people do burnouts?:)

[Starscream]

And the answer is "NO".

[elderboy02]

I like how he didn't do a burnout. Classy move for a old school guy

Now we need to see Bill Elliott win at Talladega.

Awesome Bill from Dawsonville :tu

I can't believe Martin is only 50. He looks like he is 85.

He was the most popular driver for so many years. Wish we could see him get one more in his limited participation this year. Wood love to see him get a win for the Wood Bros. 21 car too.

little E and Casey mears playing bumper cars after the race.....going to get the call to the naughty box.

I am sure Mr. Helton will be having a "nice" talk with them.

Me too. I like watching the highlights from back before I was born when the guys were fighting with each other in the infield. :bx

Cale v Bobbie and Donnie at the end of the 79 Daytona 500? One of my all time favorite races. And Petty won it to top it off.:tu
I was a month shy of being born for that race.

I think that was the race. I am not sure. I was born in '84 :r

Three guys fighting in the infield after the race. one of them punching the other with their helmet? I liked Cale better than the Alabama gang, but he wound up on the losing end of that fight. Busted nose. That fight raised NASCAR to a new popularity level supposedly.
