Nascar 2013 Offical Thread

[Trickie Dick]

I'm dreaming about being at the 2013 Daytona Bike Week and cruising around the Daytona track. As for Danica, I am a life long Indy Car fan and she will pull the same thing in Sprint Cup...

Get the best rides with the best teams, run around mid pack all race, complain that no one is plaing fair, and only hope to win through massive attrition.

Indy Car fans have grown very tired of her whinning and Cup fans will soon too.:lecturef_smilie:

Amen brother, amen. :agree:

 

[Bob Denman]

No doubt; she's got a pretty face that the cameras all love. :thumbup:
But she can drive; the question becomes; Can she learn to RACE at this level?
"One Problem" Montoya has had mixed results...
Tony Stewart on the other hand; could go fast in a wheelbarrow... he did some Indy Car seat-times :thumbup:
Has anybody else moved over from that venue to NASCAR?

Indy and Formula One stars Dario Franchitti, Jacques Villeneuve and Patrick Carpentier didn’t have much success at all. Even Formula One’s Kimi Raikkonen tried it last year, but postponed his NASCAR experiment after just a few races.

 

[bruiser]

Boris Said tried, now he's back to being a "ringer" on the road tracks. By the way, what ever happened to Robby Gordon?? He was a pretty good driver, especially the road tracks. I'm thinking he may be back to sand racing (Baja) full time.

 

[Bob Denman]

pps: I forgot about Boris... pps:
The "PitBull with a hand grenade it his mouth"
Did you know that he's actually a pretty decent Bobsledder too? :thumbup:

 

[bruiser]

I did not. He must have the need for speed. I did like the guy but I wasn't a "Said Head". Couldn't be anyway, no hair on the top of the head :roflblack: Paul Tracy was another ringer and also raced in the Busch and Craftsman series. He later called NASCAR "boring" and said he "couldn't watch a race without taking a three hour nap". He was a hot head and stayed in trouble in open wheel racing. He did win the very last Can Am race. A J Almindinger also came from open wheel racing.

 

[ottawa-rider]

Sam Hornish Jr. is another Indy driver ( and champion ) that has struggle in Nascar, but so far this season, he has been doing good in Nationwide.

 

[Bob Denman]

If I can recall some of the story's details pps:; I believe that his family actually builds bobsleds up near Lake Placid...

 

[TicketBait]

My son is taking me to the AutoClub 400 this Sunday:yes::yes::yes:, anything you want me to ask Danica?opcorn:

 

[Bob Denman]

NOthing that I could talk about in an open forum such as this one! :shocked: :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Thanks! :thumbup:
(I guess that I've got a good excuse... I was in here, and forgot about it! pps

 

[rnet]

Finally a good race.

 

[currin20fan]

nascar

I do believe that was one of the best races I've seen in many years. Some people seem to forget that Tony is a brat:yikes:. All I have to say about that is.............:yes:HE'S BACCCCCCCKKKKK! :yes: And I love it!. He's been my driver since he was in the midgets and will be my driver until the end. I think I have seem the majority of his :lecturef_smilie: antics" over the years and was beginning to think he was getting a little :shocked:soft. He showed his true colors today. :bowdown:Welcome back SMOKE!!!!

 

[mowin]

Nope ..THAT SUCKED... I despise Kyle Bush......Well maybee not quite that harsh...ok ya I cant stand him

 

[rnet]

I don't care for either bush, but that race that had nonstop passing, 3 and 4 wide racing. Hope Hamlin is ok

 

[Bob Denman]

Has anybody seen any reports on Hamlin? The only thing that I've seen mentioned taking him to a local hospital... :shocked:
I don't care much for Shrub; but he did find the right hole to jump in at the end! :thumbup:
