Nascar 2008

[Cincy'sMom]

I did see AShley beat her dada nd became the first woman to win an NHRA event. Didn't get quite the same attention as Danica...but another vicotry for women racing!

[Lady's Human]

Cha Cha Muldowney, Angele Seeling and a couple others would be surprised to find out they never won an NHRA event....

Ashley is the first female FUNNY CAR winner.

[Cincy'sMom]

Sorry...NHRA Funny car. I knew it sounded wrong when i heard them say it, but I guess cause I only heard half of it!!
Shows how closely I pay attention!!!

Why do the honorary race starters have to yell?

The engines haven't turned over yet!

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

I heard that NASCAR will not run a Sprint Cup race in MEXICO because there is no Spanish translation for "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!"

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

A note to Tony Stewart.

Run over the other driver's pit crew! NOT YOURS!

--------

I will not cheer for the 8 car..... Yet!

Bad juju?

-----------

NASCAR day on May 16th?

FOOLS! Everyday is NASCAR DAY!

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


WHO was the guy with the accent that was interviewed after the Friday night race?

I was laughing because I couldn't understand a word he said.....but the captioning person could!!!

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

Can I adopt a Cup car if it is impounded after a cup race?

[Cinder & Smoke]

Poor Dale Junior!

I don't care what the Talking Heads say ...

Looked like a Cheap Shot by the Shrub, to me!


And Poor Denny Hamlin drove a Super Race!
NUTZ to that leaky tyre!

There's no crying on NASCAR....
Looking at the J.R. interview, I was almost in tears.

[Cincy'sMom]

I haven't got to see the race with sound yet, but caught the last 38 laps at Frickers...I was going to reserve comment until I could hear what was going on.

I can't believe that I, a true Shrubinator, am saying this, but I really didn't think Kyle did anything wrong. He had the inside lane, he held it, and Junior came down into him. Maybe I am going soft cuase he dries for JGR, but I can't falt him (this time).


I was crushed for Denny. I said Friday morning I felt like he was going to have a good weekend, and boy did he...Nationwide win, POle start, and a track record laps led. He deserved to win. Although even after I said that I picked Mark Martin as my top 10 driver for the week....


After the Nationwide race I don't remember them interviewing anyone with an accent...but it sure was hard to understand Steven Wallace. That boy sounds like Bumhauer (from King of the Hill). Doesn't seem to have his dad or uncle's abiity to speak clearly!

[Cincy'sMom]

Racing returns to the Rock....ARCA race is underway...Tony Stewart waved the green flag and Joey Lagano (JGR develoment driver) brought them to it...
Ken Schrader is running as is James Harvery Hylton, the 73 year old wonder.

How would you like to be the auction winner, to runt he parade laps with Ricky Rudd? I would have been trying to slip him some more $$ to stay onthe track at least for the first few laps!!!

I DID get to hear (and see) the end of the race and I don't think Kyle did it on purpose. He was just trying to correct his car.
And ask anyone (especially my husband Mark), I'm not a Busch supporter at all!

I was too. And yep, he sure deserved that win...too bad

Gosh Amy, I couldn't have said it better myself...LOL!

[Cincy'sMom]

Who-Hooo!!! Another 20 car win!! 4 in a row!!

JGR drivers have won 8 of 12 Natonwide races. How much better can they get?

Tony said in Victory Lane is wasn't the driver's, it is the crew. I'm sure that the crew is great, but you aren't exactly talking low talent drivers with Tony, Kyle and Denny. If they can win with anyone behind the wheel...give me my shot!!! Let's see how they do with a amateur!

[RICHARD]

Like WTF, Carl?

--------

Was that bad CARMA for KB tonight?

-------


Thanks for the thrill, Mark....
I hate when that happens.

-------

Ummmm,

You think that DP is giving women drivers a bad name by running over pit crew members?

Who is watching the FIM Supersport races? The Assen race was rad!
This week, one rider- he was showing third place pulled off the track a few hundred feet before the finish line. He lost something like four places before he realized he didn't hit the finish line!

DOH!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Don't forget ... it's a Saturday NIGHT Race at Darlington tonight >>>

Darlington | 7 p.m ET Saturday | FOX TV Network

Let's go RACING!!

[anna_66]

Got to say, even though they thought he was driving too hard and is such a bad guy....Kyle won! Another win for JGR!!!! Sorry Jr

[Cincy'sMom]

And Denny got a Top Ten, and even though he got wrecked on Lap 3, Tony battled back and dang near got back on the leadleap the old fashioned way. I would have loved to see what would have happened if he hadn't wrecked....by the end of the night, that car was strong! Way to go JGR!!!

What's with Rousch and their loose wheels? All 5 of them complained at one point or anther they thought they had a tired issue.

The reason I love NASCAR is the way fans conduct themselves, for the most part.

It's fun to see the way fans support their drivers- jackets, t-shirts, bags and even underwear.... Even the booing a driver at the intros is a practice that I encourage...But, I really hate the tossing of crap onto the track and the flipping the bird after the race.

Nascar is probably the last family sport - baseball held it's own for a while but sitting in the stands, with drunken louts yelling 'YOU SUCK' at players, gets old, fast!

Yeah it's part of the game/race to root your favorites on, but it's really disturbing to see people take it so seriously that they have to ruin it for everyone else-especially those who take kids to the track.

I am not an angel when I sit in my house and curse out a driver for being a chump, causing a crash or getting out of the pit box and losing the lead.
But, I am really irritated when I see people act like idiots.

I did take execption to KB taking off the glasses and wiping his eyes - in homage to the DE jr. fans - I guess if you provoke the paying customers you have to take their grief.

Maybe the announcers and other drivers aren't lying when they bring up the subject of security having to escort drivers from the track.
