How big is the one that Jerry Jones watches his cartoons on ?

 

[Mr Tony]

wiki shows 160x72 so this is bigger

A highlight of Cowboys Stadium is its gigantic center-hung high-definition television screen, the largest in the world, sometimes referred to as "Jerry-Tron". The 160-by-72-foot

 

[Mr Tony]

well I guess all is right in NASCAR

Jimmy wins and his interview afterwards will put ya to sleep

 

[Mr Tony]

Sure,
As a long as you have a way to get in inside all in one piece !

 

[Mr Tony]

well all is right now in NASCAR....Jimmy took over the points

I'll say it again....he wins the "chase" I'm never watching NASCAR again...just shows its rigged

 

[Mr Tony]

By the way...here is how the points should be
1) #29-Kevin Harvick, 4166
2) #24-Jeff Gordon, 3938, -228
3) #18-Kyle Busch, 3906, -260
4) #99-Carl Edwards, 3877, -289
5) #48-Jimmie Johnson, 3870, -296
6) #31-Jeff Burton, 3792, -374
7) #14-Tony Stewart, 3783, -383
8) #11-Denny Hamlin, 3777, -389
9) #2-Kurt Busch, 3750, -416
10) #17-Matt Kenseth, 3700, -466
11) #33-Clint Bowyer, 3622, -544
12) #16-Greg Biffle, 3585, -581
13) #39-Ryan Newman, 3501, -665
14) #1-Jamie McMurray, 3479, -687
15) #5-Mark Martin, 3346, -837
16) #42-Juan Pablo Montoya, 3329, -820

and how they are with the new way
1 Jimmie Johnson 5503
2 Denny Hamlin 5495 -8
3 Kevin Harvick 5473 -30
4 Carl Edwards 5450 -53
5 Jeff Gordon 5445 -58
6 Kurt Busch 5433 -70
7 Kyle Busch 5423 -80
8 Greg Biffle 5418 -85
9 Jeff Burton 5402 -101
10 Tony Stewart 5376 -127
11 Matt Kenseth 5354 -149
12 Clint Bowyer 5251 -252

so because of one year when Kenseth went the year with one win but won because he was "consistent" they change the rules so now all you have to be is consistent through 10 races (like JJ does) to win?

Hamlin and Harvick like it better this way

 

[ripnbigc]

Carl is in the same position but a lot closer with the new point system. I still like the old points system, and Carl's my fovorite driver.

new...well we know who is leading in the "new" system

 

[markd]

Yep! I haven't watched it the last two weeks. What's the point. Personally I think they ought to do away with the chase and run points all year long. Or, maybe, whoever wins the most races wins the championship?
