It's just plain simple. NASCAR cannot afford to go without Johnson, Gordon and Junya winning races. We all know that. They are 90% of the fan base. (16 hrs ago | post #21)
Five reasons to watch auto racing this weekend
I have two reasons not to watch autoracing this weekend. Two granddaughters playing in fastpitch softball tourneys. (23 hrs ago | post #2)
Well, it's only the Nationwide series. We will find out in a couple of races that it's the driver not the engine that makes the difference. (23 hrs ago | post #1)
NASCAR squeezes horsepower down on Toyota motors
You are right. Every year when it seems as though someone has an advantage NASCAR changes the rules. That is easier than cracking down on the cheaters. I understand some off the rules where everyone runs the same spoiler, same block size, same carb. etc etc. When someone is able to get more HP from the same setup they make them change. Things aren't looking that great for NASCAR with the economy and fans dropping off and probably sponsors next. (Wednesday | post #7)
NASCAR squeezes horsepower down on Toyota motors
Doesn't sound like it's all Toyota to me. Reutimann's Toyota had the highest, but he doesn't win. JGR's No. 18 car - which Busch drove to victory at Chicago right before the motors were tested - was second. Roush Fenway Racing's Nos. 16 and 17 Fords were next, followed by JGR's No. 20 car (Wednesday | post #2)
Earnhardt Jr. says winning the Allstate 400 would be special
Well, the chances are far better for Kyle to win than Jr. (Tuesday | post #8)
There you go! He has given no signs of winning more races than Kyle. And from what I've witnessed the last couple of races Jr doesn't have what the big boys have. He backs down. Remember the race a couple of weeks ago won by Kyle with Kenseth, Kurt and Edwards all racing for the win. Jr gave up and backed off. He even admitted he though those guys were crazy and he wasn't going to race with them. (Saturday Jul 19 | post #51)
Jr this Jr that. Jr is crap until he wins something. Jr is okay with me. I'm not a Jr fan and I don't hate Jr. I do despise some of these Jr fans that go on and on like he is some racing God. He is just a racer and one that doesn't win a lot. To say he is better than this guy or that guy is only proven on the track. And he hasn't done that. If you like the guy that's fine. I hope you know why you like him as most Jr fans don't. It's kind of ludicrus to set here at this point and say he is a better drive than Kyle and that he is going to win more races than Kyle. If you hope he does, that's different and you can hope all you want. That's what fans should do. (Saturday Jul 19 | post #49)
Last call? Will takeover force Bud to scale back?
Regardless of who owns the Bud brand I'd think they would still be interested in selling Bud. If you don't advertise it won't be as easy. (Thursday Jul 17 | post #1)
Gm's Bridge to 2010: GM cuts could hit all levels of racing
KLC, that may be your only choices. And for now I just don't see NASCAR vehicles with pedals in them. (Wednesday Jul 16 | post #4)
Gm's Bridge to 2010: GM cuts could hit all levels of racing
With Ford, GM and Dodge converting to sub compact hybrid cars there isn't much NASCAR is going to do for them anymore. There will be no relationship between what the consumer can buy and what is being raced. (Wednesday Jul 16 | post #1)
Penske makes decision to part ways with Newman - Jul 14, 2008
It took Penske a long time to finally understand that Newman is nobodys teammate. Everyone though it was Rusty that was the problem. When Kurt showed up it became more obvious that the problem is Newman. And I can't say that I blame Newman for leaving either. Penske doesn't seem to put the effort and dollars into winning that the top 3 teams do. (Wednesday Jul 16 | post #1)
Getting Over Kyle Busch: You May Hate Him, But He Sure Can Driv...
I don't see why people think he is arrogant and has a attitude. Most of the interviews I see he is very friendly and pretty courteous. Sure when things don't go well he is going to be a little different. Has anyone watched Stewart when he had a bad day? (Tuesday Jul 15 | post #4)
10 Nationwide engines confiscated - Updated NASCAR FanZone
If somebody can crank more HP out of an engine with legal parts isn't that what racing is all about? We all see what happened to IROC racing where every car was the same. Nobody cared and it was eliminated. (Monday Jul 14 | post #17)
Penske to sever 8-year partnership with Newman
That's an interesting way to put it. I've been reading for a few weeks that Newman was the one that may look elsewhere and not resign with Penske. (Monday Jul 14 | post #1)
