Race Season '09

[Lessen]

Haha! Are you guys watching Raceday? Kenny, Jimmy, and John Roberts just did a spoof on Fear & Loathing. I thought that was pretty good. Kenny was awesome!

*edit*
Alright boys.. the 26 is goin' to the front! giddy-up!

 

[Lessen]

THAT'S WHAT I'M FRICKIN' TALKIN' ABOUT BABY! That's pure talent right there boys!

LMAO! He's said "They get that on t.v.?" :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Lessen]

Did you guys fall off the face of the earth or what? Pretty good race yesterday. I thought Jaime could have had a top 5 but 9th is solid and he's movin up the board steadily.

thank goodness we're coming back to the east next week. I'm tired of waiting for 5:00....

I was on the road for most of the race, so I didn't see much. That's the first footage of Jamie's drift. I gotta say, that was suuuuuuuuu..weeeet. they say the COT is easier to reel in when the back starts going out. On the old chassis, he most likely would have gone around. But mad props for hanging that out there and keeping it going!

I did get home with about 50 laps to go. But got sick of the constant cautions so I just stopped watching. Plus Kyle was in the lead, and he's a peepee so I just didn't feel like listening to him.

 

[Lessen]

Yeah, these cars are alot easier to save in a loose condition vs. the old car. We've seen a lot of good saves since switching to these cars. Jeff, did you read the newest article on F1.com about the U.S. team? It's been in the works for like 2 1/2 years.

 

[NCNitro]

I watched it, that save by Jamie was sweet! I just hate Kyle Puss with passion, so I turned it off the moment he crossed the finish line, listening to him, as well as the site of him makes me want to puke!

 

[SMaxxin]

I thought Gordon was going to be a contender until he put his ass on his head and tore the car up!

It was a sweet race for sure. Jamie had a great save! I had to go out mid-way through the race to clean the snow off the dish so that I got HD back... but all in all it was a great race. Jr had a great finish... although so did everyone else... so he is still like 29th in points. Hopefully Hotlanta will be a better race.

.... by the way.. I really don't like KB.... I was cheering my butt off when he spun the car in the Nationwide race!

I'll be honest, he's somewhat growing on me. I (as well as many others I'm sure) got a very bad first impression of him last year when he was going through his pouting (leave the track) phase. But I'll admit the guy is handling he issues much better these days. He's starting to enter my list of drivers that I don't necessarily dislike but don't root for either.

I still dont' want to see him on our F1 team though. I want a driver I will feel good about rooting for and he's just not that guy.

Matinsville race

OK, I was wrong. We're not sitting in row 11. We're sitting in row 1.

 

[grgbulldog]

My uncle and I decided to go to the truck race tomorrow. Sounds like it will be fun. Will be my second truck race.

 

[Lessen]

Cool man, trucks at Atlanta should be a realy good race :thumbup:

place start Sunday...

 

[grgbulldog]

Yeh, last time i went to a truck race was october '05 in Atlanta. The had a red flag for 20 minutes because of a mojor wreck in turn one.

 

[Lessen]

I've never been to a truck race. I thought maybe we'd catch the truck race at Martinsville when we go this month but we won't arrive in town early enough. I've been wanting to go to the truck race here in Ohio but I put it off too long and now it's not on the schedule due to Mansfield not able to secure a title sponsor. ya snooze ya lose I guess :shrug:

WooHoo!

Button and Barichello race... It's not Honda power but at least they are racing.

[grgbulldog]

I really enjoy the truck racing, I think they have better racing then the Cup series a lot of the time.

 

[Lessen]

I know a number of people that feel the same way. I don't really follow it as much actually.

 

[NCNitro]

I like the trucks. I went to the innaugural truck race at Homestead Miami Speedway back in 95 or 96, back when it was called Nascar Supertrucks. I actually went to all the innaugaural races there, the busch race, indy, cup, and truck races. But I have been to several truck races over the years, they are actually really cool to see in person.

 

[grgbulldog]

Just got home from the truck race, got a few good pics and such. Damn Kule Busch had to win again though. He's won 3 of the last 4 nascar events I've been to. Nascar strategically threw cautions a few laps before green flag stops every time, too. The legend's and bandelero's came out at the end and raced a bit, too.

 

[Lessen]

yeah, Legends didn't waste anytime. I saw them racing during post-race commentary.

I was really pullin' for Todd though. It's so hard to believe a champion team/driver doesn't have a fulltime sponsor. Very sad situation for that team. I hope they are able to make Martinsville although I probably won't be there to see 'em race if they do run.

 

[grgbulldog]

I just think there should be a limit to the cup drivers driving in the lower series. They just win all the time so none of the full time truck guys can.
