100 FACTS black people don't want White people to know PART 1

I hate to say it but you're in the same class as the POS that started this post. Whether you're black or white, it's very evident that you have an obsessive hatred for whites. you fail to understand that the white people that read this persons sorry post realize that blacks have played a major role in the developement of this planet yet in your verbage to throw all whites in the hated category. The feelings and hatred you have are no better than the rotten soul that started this post. You, my friend, desparately need the help of our Lord, Jesus Christ. You need to go to his written word and discover for yourself that we are all his children, one no better than the next. He died on Calvary that YOU might have everlasting life. If lay down your hatred and accept his plan of salvation, you can have peace in your heart.  (Friday | post #18)

NASCAR docks Kyle Busch 25 Nationwide points

I've already sent it to NASCAR feedback a half dozen times over the last couple of years. Even call Dave Moody on Sirius one afternoon and explained it. Dave says it wouldn't work because the moment one of the front runners got sent home, his fans and sponsor would raise so much hell so NASCAR would never use it. Years ago at a dirt track not too far from here, I saw the points leader get the win taken from him because his crew got caught trying to add weight to the car before he went to the scales. They disqualified him and threw out his points for the night and it cost him the track championship. He was the crowd favorite but I don't think I ever heard as much cheering as I did that night. I really surprised me. I was sponsoring a street stock at the time and the following season not a single car was caught cheating. That promoter also had a rule that if you hit another car on the first or last lap and passed him, he got his spot back and enforced it.  (Thursday | post #20)

Oh, my goodness - what's up?

Vinnie, you sound more like you were on Corona than from Corona. Please, control you feeling of self importance. You're the VP because it's necessary for someone in the organization to speak english. Who gives a fat rat's patooty about racing somewhere in rush hour traffic. Pick out a couple of your best Nigerian "Professional Drivers" and come on down to Charlotte. Put a few hundred down and put them in a "Be Petty" ride. You do remember Charlotte, don't you Vinnie. It's a town that HAS a track.  (Thursday Nov 12 | post #4)

J.J. Yeley Comeback

I'm always been amazed when someone brings a driver back that wasn't of Cup caliber to begin with. What's the point? Go get you some young hotdog from the touring series or Trucks or Nationwide. It's like buying a used car that you know has bad brakes and using oil, they lost their ride to begin with for some reason other than winning too much.  (Thursday Nov 12 | post #3)

NASCAR docks Kyle Busch 25 Nationwide points

I've been involved with stockcar racing at the local level and a fan of NASCAR for more years than I care to admit. Fines and docking points for cheating has never solved the problem at either venue. The only thing that I have seen that impacts on trying to push the rulebook is sending a team home. If NASCAR put a stipulation in the their entry form that gave them the right to confiscate a car found to be illegal before or after a race and to send the complete team home without anything to show for the weekend, it would make a real difference. Think about it, the driver would acculate no points, the cost building and bringing that car to the race would be lost, the car owner would accumulate no points, but most importantly, the sponsor would lose his exposure. It wouldn't a case of winning a bunch of money and then giving a little back. Everyone you raced against would gain on you.  (Thursday Nov 12 | post #13)

Danica Patrick could be NASCAR's new band-aid, but for how long?

Katherinne, while she's nose to nose with one of the boys, she better be watching out for the boys wife or girlfriend. That little spitfire Bobby Hamilton Jr. is married too would think nothing of whipping her right on pitroad.  (Wednesday Nov 11 | post #24)

Who Has A Better Chance Of Winning Alll 3 Races This Weekend

Based on the performance of these two drivers in all three series this year, Shrub wins hands down. Five truck wins in a row, leading the Nationwide points and four cup wins this year against 2 Nationwide wins for Harvick. Not much of a contest.  (Wednesday Nov 11 | post #1)

Danica: Hate or Love her

Whether she is the best female driver ever is questionable at best. You're correct that she will have first class equipment to drive but so has most of the male drivers from other venues that have attempted to race in NASCAR. Sam Hornish (two IRL championships) is in good equipment but he's 30th in points after 3 years in the series. If she is even slightly serious at trying to competitively compete, she better bring something to the game no one has seen in her yet.  (Wednesday Nov 11 | post #40)

Danica Patrick to Drive in NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2010?

Without comparing them to anything, the COT DOES look like a Rambler. Because a driver is very proficient in one type of car does not mean they will automaticly be proficient in all other types of race cars. Does anyone doubt that Steve Kinser is the King of Sprint Car racing but do any of you remember his disasterous attempt at driving in NASCAR? "In 1995 Steve landed a NASCAR Winston Cup Series ride as Drag racing legend Kenny Bernstein hired Kinser to drive his #26 Quaker State Ford, but released him after only five starts after a best finish of 27th and average finish of 35th. The idea of bringing Kinser to NASCAR was due to Jeff Gordon's success in sprint cars and midgets and bringing in one of the series best drivers would translate the same success." Courtesy of Wikipedia. Danica has every right to race in whatever form she desires but has the responsibility to understand her status in open wheel will mean absolutely nothing to other drivers in the Nationwide series. The whole world knows without even having to ask, that she's going to get a ton of cash to do this, far more than she could ever win in Nationwide racing. This fact alone, is going to cause some silent resentment and it will show up on the track very quickly.  (Wednesday Nov 11 | post #68)

Hamlin questions Gordon's motives on bump drafting

Got to get another cup of coffee, maybe it will improve my spelling. Happy Veterans Day everyone. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to every veteran out there. Please remember our service men and women in your prayers.  (Wednesday Nov 11 | post #12)

Hamlin questions Gordon's motives on bump drafting

What's Hamlin got to cry about if it is an open door policy that NASCAR has. He can go in and say whatever he wants whenever he wants. Just like Jeff did. Does his whiny ass think the other drivers should ask his permission before they say something to NASCAR. That's way it sounds to me. Maybe NARCAR didn't think they needed anymore in put to make a decision. Sounds like his feelings are hurt that NAECAR doesn't think he is important enough to ask advise from. Win you some championships Hamlin, then NASCAR might consider you worthy of asking you advise.  (Wednesday Nov 11 | post #11)

No whining. No drafting. No fun.

I truely hope she doesn't take what I said the wrong way because I have a world of respect for her. She is a drag racing team owner herself and really does know the sport. I understand that people want good competition without any limitations on the cars but at some tracks that's just not possible. NASCAR has tested anything and everything since 1987 to take the plate of the restrictor plates but so far they haven't found anything anymore effective. I guess they could go small displacement engines with less carbureation but then the cost for the 4 plate races would be more than the rest of the season put together. Maybe they will be able to do something different when they go to electronic fuel injection. Sometimes NASCAR just gets caught between a rock and hard place, they have to keep the racing safe and sane but still try to make it competitive and interesting for the fan. Sometimes that's damn near impossible to do.  (Tuesday Nov 10 | post #58)

No whining. No drafting. No fun.

That really surprises me Snow. As a racer yourself, you should be one of the first to realize all that did was hurt some other racers just as much as it may have hurt NASCAR. From being on the inside, you know damn well most of these type of decisions are made in an attempt to keep the people involved safe from themselves. If they take the plates off those cars at Dega and say go for it, most everyone of those boys are going to do it. Most everyone of them would understand and be scared to do it but would never back down. If they did that, those cars would be going 230 plus and the "Big One" is really going to be something. One race doesn't make a season in NASCAR or drag racing. People can talk about boring racing all they want, but competition in closer and more different people are winning than ever before. I'm old enough to remember when the average number of drivers to finish on the lead lap was only 5 or 6. I remember races where the winner had lapped the field. How damn competitive is that? People take about bringing back the good old days of racing when they don't really know anything about the real "good old days". The one thing I have come to realize is most people don't have a clue about what is involved but they're going to whine their ass off anyway. I thought you were bigger than that. Throwing in the towel on something you love, is just throwing in the towel on the people involved.  (Tuesday Nov 10 | post #45)

48 Cheaters 48

I think the key phrase in your post is "If you want to win championships ". Winning a championship is the dream of every team that brings a car to a race BUT the majority of these people understand from the start that isn't going to happen. They don't come to the track feeling that everything that happens to them is unfair because some other teams have more resources. They come to the track with about the same attitude that ant had about moving the rubber tree plant. Over the years I've seen teams pull transmissions, rear ends, front suspensions, you name it, out of there hauler and give it to another team to fix their car and send what free help they to had to assist. This one of the wonderful things about NASCAR that most people don't get to see. Behind that pitroad, these people are friends and lookout for each other even when they're not on the same team and NASCAR doesn't need to stick it's nose in it.  (Tuesday Nov 10 | post #15)
