From my point of view something good did happend. I stopped rooting for Junior when he joined the Yankees ,er Hendrick.
-
so we've gone from nascar drivers really enjoying their job, like senior, to a bunch of whiners?
thank god i don't watch it anymore......

I got $20 that if Jr isn't caught in a wreck he will lead a lap before the 1/4 race mark.
Any takers?
:aok

i can't. when they kill about 90% of their rules, and let the drivers actually race, i'd be willing to give it a shot again.....or possibly put the "stock" back in stock car racing?

For the Dale Jr. hate club, he was wrecked from behind after checking up for another car.
100% not his fault, other than being in the wrong place at wrong time.....

Dont believe the hype..... :neener:

If Junior wasn't an Earnhardt, he wouldn't be as popular as he is...

Yeah, stickers for headlights? Not cool.
Our main race series is not perfect, it's not like the old days of worked road cars, but at least we still have headlights.
Ford fans, check this out. This is a lap of our race of the year, Bathurst.

Amen, the cars are engineered as well as anything out there, they are marvels when you look at what they accomplish.
After the cars the scene gets ugly....fast.

While I would very much love to see an American in F1, somebody like Mario Andretti in days of yore. I just don't think she has the skill, sorry.
She does alright in IRL, but even the very best drivers from North American series have struggled to hang on in F1. Look at Sebastian Bourdais (not American but raced here)... dominated CHAMP for what 3-4 years, went to F1 and was a total flop. Michael Andretti, did very, very well in CART, not so much in F1. Most recently Scott Speed was another American disappointment. There is a reason there are less then 2 dozen F1 drivers in the world, it is a whole 'nuther level above things like CHAMP, IRL and CART, and no American in recent years has really committed themselves to make it to that level. Well I guess Scott Speed kinda did, I think he could have improved if he's stuck around (he had a very sub-par car too) but he just didn't seem happy in F1.
Problem as I see it, is like somebody else already mentioned, great American drivers can stay in America and make a great living racing, and be home with their family every weekend, or even take their family with them. F1 requires weeks at a time on the road all over the globe, and gets little attention here, so they really have no motivation to try and make it to F1.
As for WRC, Ken Block has been kind of a joke there too. My theory is he only got in because he owns DC.

Danica wouldn't finish Top 10 in F1.

Wow, what a GREAT race! Earnhardt almost pulled it off but was hit and out of the race late. He had a good car and drove a great race.
Congrats to Trevor Bayne! Youngest Daytona 500 Champion in history. :cheers:

thank god i don't watch it anymore......
I tuned to watch some racing for 20 minutes this weekend as I was waking up, and the thought that crossed my mind after watching it for that long was "yeesh, since when did professional racing become as melodramatic as professional wrestling?".
-
I used to be a pretty big NASCAR fan back in the days when the competition was heated and anyone could win a race depending on the numerous factors.
These days, it seems to be ruled by a bunch of tit-babies that don't understand that rubbin is racin and if you ain't first, you're last.
Restrictor plates and the car of tomorrow will be the death of the sport. I don't think I watched a single race last season and I won't be clearing my calender to watch any this year either. There are so many other series that offer far more excitement anymore.

I highly doubt she'd even finish a race! but she's easy on the eyes!!!
Looks like the first F1 race is canceled do to political unrest...... :o
