How did you like the race last night? What are your predictions for the season?


Me? I liked the race last night. My guys did alright, but not as good as I expected.

my thought on last night are here. http://www.brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=460717

Yeah, Tony Stewart is a hypocrite. Last year he said something about the dangers of bumping at 180+mph, and the very next race, what did he do? Put that rookie into the wall! And what did he do last night? Bumped because he couldn't pass without it! SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

2/11/2007 6:41:44 PM

Kyle Busch lost position

Stewart made a good fake-out move and Kyle had no other choice than to try and block

and it's not even like he was mad about it

2/11/2007 6:47:43 PM

oh no, not you again!

You can quit defending him and watch a replay.

2/11/2007 6:49:38 PM

Kenseth ftw!!!

2/11/2007 6:55:49 PM

look

stewart moved to the outside to pass kyle

kyle went up the track to block

stewart came back down and took position

kyle came back down and was going slower than stewart

when the guy behind is going faster than the guy in front theres going to be contact

its not like stewart was behind him the whole time and decided to just ram into the back of him...

2/11/2007 6:56:45 PM

i watched the replay. i hate tony stewart. but...

that was amazing driving. if you cant deal with shit like that go watch something else.

2/11/2007 6:56:58 PM

it was good driving, he's a hell of a driver. But that was a blatant bump.

2/11/2007 7:26:09 PM

So this is a thread for 2 years?

Ill predict that Gordon gets his shit together and wins the Cup this year since most aren't giving him as much credit going into this year.

2/11/2007 7:35:44 PM

Rubbin is racin, son

2/11/2007 7:36:18 PM

im ready for NASCAR

2/11/2007 7:49:54 PM

my favorite part of the new season is that black history month commercial. I laughed my ass off.

2/11/2007 8:11:37 PM

2/11/2007 8:19:11 PM

Jeff Gordon !!!! wins it all this year !!!!

2/11/2007 10:18:57 PM

^That would be nice! He's made some worthwhile improvements...

2/11/2007 10:52:26 PM

waltrip's car taken by nascar, along with an intake manifold being sent to charlotte prior to that. also, Kahne & Kenseth had their qualifying times thrown out. Why they didn't catch the mistakes/crafty thinking in pre-qualifying inspection instead of after confuses me. Penalties at least as harsh as the 48 team received last year are gonna come down.

You do realize that the season starts and ends in 2007, right? Seriously, what makes you think this is a crossover schedule like the NHL or the NBA?

2/11/2007 11:13:28 PM

sorry, I was using last years thread as a guide, and realized this after I posted it.
of course I realize this, do you not know who I am?? I am all knowing about NASCAR affiars!


just use it and get over it.

bwahahaha

Waltrip the flagship of Toyota gets his shit thrown out

I saw him acting like he doesnt know a thing about motors during qualifying (he may not, but im sure he knows why there would be oil in the intake)

gg Kahne & Kenseth

Quote :

"DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The crew chiefs for Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne could face ejection from the Daytona 500 after NASCAR officials discovered unapproved alterations during Sunday's post-qualifying inspection. Robbie Reiser is Kenseth's crew chief on the No. 17 Ford. Kenny Francis has the same responsibilities for Kahne's No. 9 Dodge, but is called the team director. A similar situation a year ago brought a four-race suspension and a $25,000 fine for Chad Knaus, crew chief for Jimmie Johnson. NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said the alterations by Reiser and Francis were considered as blatant as the device found on Johnson's car to adjust the height of the rear window. Ray Evernham, who owns Kahne's car, denied the infraction was intentional. "I don't have all the information and I can't comment just yet," Evernham told ESPN.com. "I want to talk to Kenny some more tomorrow to understand what the motivation was [for the way the car was set up]. "The one thing I will say is not anybody intentionally tried to break the rules. Kenny has never done anything before. Not at all. We normally play by whatever the rules we're given." It also was a controversial Cup beginning for Toyota, which had one of its cars go to NASCAR's version of the penalty box. NASCAR impounded the No. 55 NAPA Toyota of driver/owner Michael Waltrip after qualifying. NASCAR officials confiscated the intake manifold off Waltrip's Camry during a prequalifying inspection. NASCAR officials don't know if Waltrip's car is illegal, but they do know Kenseth's and Kahne's cars were. The qualifying times for both drivers were disallowed because inspections found unapproved changes to the body of both cars. Kenseth was 11th and Kahne was 28th in the qualifying speeds. Hunter said penalties will follow for both teams, probably in an announcement on Monday. "We found unapproved devices that enhanced the aerodynamics of those cars," Hunter said. "There were holes where it was supposed to be sealed. One of the cars had holes in the wheel well." Both cars will be allowed to start at the back of the second Gatorade Duel qualifying race on Thursday. Both teams are guaranteed a spot in the Daytona 500 because they were among the top 35 teams in points last year. Waltrip's fate is up in the air. Hunter said NASCAR officials decided to impound the car before qualifying, but allowed Waltrip to make a qualifying run after placing a new manifold on the car. Now NASCAR officials will inspect the entire car to determine if any violations exist. "Our inspectors will go over that car a with a fine-tooth comb," Hunter said. "I don't know how long we will keep it. As of right now, we do not know that the manifold is illegal, but we want to know." Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's director of competition, said officials sent the manifold to the NASCAR Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., for testing Monday. "Our inspector caught a substance inside that we didn't really know what it was," Pemberton said about the manifold. Pemberton wouldn't give specifics about the problem, but Waltrip said inspectors found oil inside the manifold. "And it's not supposed to be there," Waltrip said. "So they took it to see why the oil was there. "I don't really understand what is going on, and people here a lot smarter than me don't understand it either, but we'll figure it out. I'm sure it'll be fine." Hunter wasn't buying Waltrip's explanation. "Our inspection team was not comfortable that it was oil," Hunter said. Before the 2005 Daytona 500, Robby Gordon's crew chief was fined $50,000 and the team was docked 25 car owner points for an unapproved intake manifold that inspectors discovered. Waltrip is one of three team owners for Toyota's debut season in Nextel Cup. He has a three-car team that includes Dale Jarrett in the No. 44 UPS Camry and rookie David Reutimann in the No. 00 Domino's Toyota. Reutimann was the fastest Toyota in qualifying at 14th. He turned a lap at 184.419 mph. Waltrip was 24th, at 183.899. Jarrett was 48th in qualifying with a lap at 182.061 mph. Pemberton said the situation with the No. 55 problem was not specific to any individual manufacturer. Hunter has been involved in NASCAR for more than 40 years. He's seen it all, but said Sunday's situation surprised him after what happened with Knaus a year ago. "But by the same token, I think our inspection process gets better every year," Hunter said. "We are committed to try to stop all the games being played.""

2/11/2007 11:27:17 PM

Robbie Reiser...name on the shit list again ALREADY.

2/11/2007 11:30:34 PM

why would kenseth and kahne cheat for qualifying for daytona. qualifying for them means nothing. doesn't make sense to me

2/11/2007 11:32:15 PM

My predictions:
Stewart, Johnson, Harvick, Kenseth will be the teams to watch.
Toyota will falter all year, but will make a semi-impressive showing at the end of the season.
The same combination of drivers and sponsors will not be in place at the end of the year for Michael Waltrip Racing.
Dale Jr's contract talks will last most of the season, and will include a threat to leave DEI.
The COT will fail miserably in its first race at Bristol.

2/12/2007 7:28:04 AM

^^^^^Self-appointed knower of all NASCAR "affiars", yet you need to find an old thread to figure out how to start a new one?

^^Someone had to cheat...the more news stories NASCAR can get going, the more people talk about NASCAR. If no one cheats, then pole qualifying is pretty ho-hum who cares.

2/12/2007 8:01:35 AM

I've never made a sports talk thread, so I figured it would be best to do it like one done in the past on the same subject. seriously, get over it.

2/12/2007 8:24:53 AM

"inside nextel cup racing" on speed channel should be got tonight with waltrip being on the show.

2/12/2007 5:19:13 PM

^too many.

Toyota will be horrible this year. But they will last the season. Watch for 1-2 toyota cars making the chase next year.

2/12/2007 5:34:54 PM

I think im going to go with brian vickers this season. fairly new to following nascar but i refuse to jump on a bandwagon (jr, kenseth, kahne, etc) so i believe im gonna go with vickers. drivin a new toyota and sponsored by redbull. also #83, year of the wolfpack.

2/12/2007 6:02:35 PM

hopefully they find the "substance" to be nothing major and the team doesn't get into too much trouble. Regardless Michael has done a heck of a job getting to this point is the time that he has, being that he's fielding 3 cars.

I give Toyota about a year to straighten things out and Michael and DJ will be back in the thick of things next year because Toyota will put in whatever money is necessary to field a competitive team.
