What luck will KB have this week?

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?

[ramanth]

I caught it via Yahoo news Amy. Wow that was crazy!!!

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).

Tony Stewart wreck 2001 Daytona 500

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...

1999 Sears Point

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!

[Sirrahsim]

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.

Easy choice!

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?

[RobiLee]

Woo Hoo! Way to go, Carl!


Get to work on that new scrapbook page, Anna!

[Cincy'sMom]

Somehow I knew you would have posted already.....

I actaully picked Carl in fantasy this weekend. Had a feeling, as good as he ran at Vegas and Atlanta.

Good day for the Gibbs boys, 3 5, and 7, to move up to 3, 5 and 7 in the points. Can't argue with that!

Still no Hendrick wins..Gee that's a shame

[Moesha]

I had Carl picked in my Yahoo! fantasy games too. Of course I also had Biffle on my team.

[RICHARD]

OK,
I like CE but I want some burnouts.

I love seeing the crowd get all smoked out - Serves you right for sitting so close to the track..

--------

NASCAR Truck trivia?

I don't know the answer to this one....

Who was the driver who lit the back end of his truck on fire after he won the race? He was doing a burnout and the rubber from the tires got stuck up in the wheelwells and rear end and started on fire. I laughed so hard after seeing that video, but I cannot remember who did it!

Help, race fans?
