Anybody watching qualifying? Holy Crap did Michael McDowell Take a lickin!!! Amazing how car they have come with these cars for safety.

Prelude information is now at Nascar.com New additions this year... Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Burton. So far, David Reutimman, Mike Wallace and JPM are the only two I didn't see listed that were there last year. Two months from today...can't wait!

The Formula 1 head is caught up in a sex scandal!

What would Mike Helton do?

Why don't the drivers flash their headlights to pass on a short track?

Why don't the drivers flash their headlights to pass on a short track?

'Cause the headlights got *busted out* when he bumper-tagged the guy in front
on the last lap!

Dunno WHY nobody mounts a BIG set of Air Horns on the hood.

[RICHARD]

Better yet!

One of those old fashioned air raid sirens you crank by hand?

Dude, that was a wreck.

-------------------------


I am still not convinced that the COT is a 'safe' car.

It looks like the drivers need to be not as aggresive when trying to correct a slide.- they still have to adjust to the new car and the handling.

I can't stop watching it...I am just amazed!

It reminded me of Tony Stewart's 2001 Daytona wreck, and the 1998 Michael Waltrip wreck at Bristol ( the way the car broke apart).

Waltrip at Bristol

And in looking for Michael Waltrip's, I found this one from Bristol Practice 2002, Mike Harmon. I have never seen a car break in half like this!

Bristol 2002

OKay, last one. I had never seen this. Kenny Schrader flipped on a road course (Sears Point 1999). I just never though t of it happened ona road course...

That was one wild crash! I'm still just amazed they can crash like that and get out of the car and walk away

What luck will KB have this week?

So far so good....

Too bad his teammate didn't have such good luck! Oh well, today is the one that counts!

I feel the need to jump in here and say that you race fans are nutty! I drove by the Texas Motor Speedway on Friday and thought that I was going to die! Traffic was awful and I was surrounded by GIANT SUVs with NASCAR stuff all over them and even more GIANT mobile homes that made my minivan look like a Geo Metro I must say though that the excitement was palpable for miles either way even while I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic

[Moesha]

Thanks for the compliment!!

[RICHARD]

I never get tired of seeing the flyover before the start of a race.

The cars are fun but give me a good airshow and I'm happy for weeks after.

What would Elvis do?

I find that Viagra commercial to be the stupidest in history.....

But,who needs it when you have NASCAR?

------------

Why do the guys from open wheel racing freak out when they drive cars with fenders?

----------

The replay from the Mcdowell crash with the sound added to it was really freaky!

NASCAR terminology....

Jack man- Isn't he an actor?
