Didn't that crash look like it was intentionally caused?

she has a HUGE marketing machine behind her. One would think that she is the only big name driver in the Daytona 500.

she's got a lot to learn. she had a fast car all day and couldn't do anything with it at the end...better than last year though.

Contrast that with Johnson, didn't hear much about about him the entire race...then when there is 10 laps to go....Hello boys, I'll be passing you all now.

Yeah, that's dudes SOP. Always picks it up when it matters. It's funny, because he may not be a front runner come time for the chase, and then BAM, turns it on.

Guy I know works for Hendrick, said Jimmy is one of the friendlier drivers as well.

Those fences look like the same kind of fencing you'd see at any city park.

Hendrick has the best crews... Period.

You get on with them and your car is going to be in the front EVERY week.

They know how to squeeze every last bit of speed out of a car.

I did ten laps in a car at Charlotte a few years back. It was intense.

I've raced Daytona a couple times.....on a motorcycle.    :o

She ran a suprisingly good race for herself...she also got caught behind the wrong car when Dale made his move and lost her placing.

How can anyone sit there for hours and watch a bunch of cars drive around in a circle? I'll never get it.

Then again, most people probably dont get how we watch the mr Olympia. So I guess it's all relative.


  most are waiting for a crash or 2

its a deadly sport. I posted an article written by an Indy car driver about how in shape one has to be to drive Indy/Champ, ralley, GT and F1...you don't have to be that in shape for NASCAR due to the oval racing. But those who race on circuits---street, etc., you must be in shape as the G forces from all directions take a lot out you. Formula 1 driver Jenson Button runs marathons.
The writer of the article had said that when he first tried out for a team, he was so unprepared for dealing with the g forces and man handling the car, that he stopped and gave an excuse that he had to pee. But he went to bathroom for a breather and to throw up.
Tony Stewart used to be in shape when he raced Champ/Indy, now as a NASCAR driver he's not that in shape.

This is actually true... I believe that sports should be man powered and have an offense and a defense.

That's a sport.

Any auto racing is a past time... A hobby... An event... Not a sport.

I don't know what it should be qualified as, a competition maybe?  But when you think competition, you usually think sports. Probably why it gets labeled as such.

I will admit, I've never watched it on TV, but have been to several races. It's all about drinking. It's also a good place to take clients if you're in an industry that has clients.

Nope... They are physical activities... Not sports.

Notice how they call them the "Olympic Games"?

Because that's what those things are... Games... Not sports.

you really will argue anything to the point of making a fool of yourself.

Actually, they have their own definition, they're called motorsports.

You don't comprehend English very well do you?

I said... And you can plainly see it.

All 3 of those require offense and defense.

Are you such a dick rider that you want to follow me around to dislike every statement I make?

Sure seems like it.... For someone who in one thread talked about how someone is following you around, you sure are doing a good job of trying to ride the Tu jock.

Joyriding SPORTbikes, is not a sport.
