Nascar 2011 Season

[dfergie]

The spotters were generally pretty good, I watched most of the race from Jr's channel...

 

[dfergie]

But those cars were moving around quite a bit...

 

[Mr Tony]

oh boy...road race next week

one of the two I can miss

 

[dfergie]

I'll be at work, but TNT has web coverage (or did last year)... same thoughts though as right turns just ain't right...

 

[Mr Tony]

and very little passing...only passing is on pit road

 

[Jimbo]

Wow. On purpose or not, it sucks for Jr. He had a good car.

Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys

He was moving up and probably would have ended up top 5 possibly, top 10 for sure.

Thats OK, move on and do better next week !!!

This is hillarious. I love me some Jimmy Spencer.

[Mr Tony]

Exactly. That's why it was soooo funny when he was raggin on Kurt Busch.

Not true .....

 

[Mr Tony]

yes there is some passing...but not near as much as an oval.

Sorry but road racing just doesnt belong in Nascar.....hell if I want to see road racing I'll go to my nearest freeway and watch

Yup....

[AntAltMike]

Nascar has seasons?

 

[Jimbo]

Seasons ???

Do you mean Silly season ?

 

[Mr Tony]

He'll be happy to see Daytona !

as will I. hate them road races. Not a big fan of "pack em together most of the race and pray no one dies" races either but at least there is passing in Daytona

Earnhardt said he's not looking forward to Daytona either, this year, he dislikes the 2 by 2 car drafting.

I understand the comment, my wife feels the same way.

I don't.

That race was certainly more entertaining than this weeks race at Daytona is going to be.

The current incarnation of plate racing is even worse than the last incarnation of "pack" racing.

Road racing has been a part of NASCAR since it's inception. After all what was the Daytona race when it began?

NASCAR "Grand National", "Cup" series were regularly running Riverside starting in 1958 until it closed in 1988 and then changed to Sonoma.

Watching a Cup race on a road course is alot more entertaining than an F-1 race. Talk about no passing, take the lead at the start and you win????

I'll watch Saturday nights race, but I don;t have very high expectations of being that entertained. At least not like I was last Sunday.

Most likely hoping everybody makes out at the end in their POV's rather than a Med Transport.
