• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Nasty finish

Horrific crash at the Nationwide checkered flag.....several fans involved. Sure hope everyone comes thru ok. :pray:
 
A friend of mine knows several of the NASCAR safety crew. He spoke to one of them and was told 3 fans were killed, and 12 others were injured.

I hope he's wrong...:pray:
 
That is definitely sad..................... :( Hope everone is ok..... :pray:




In other news Danica pulled yet another typical Danica move........


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Danica Patrick is out of the Nationwide race at Daytona International Speedway, and it might be because of her own mistake thinking she had a blown engine Saturday.

Patrick had yet to blow an engine in her NASCAR career, but when her car shut off in Turn 3, she figured "that's exactly what happened."


So she pulled the car into the garage instead of letting her crew diagnose the problem on pit road.
After all, a blown engine isn't fixable.
But shortly after Patrick did an interview with ESPN, her crew fired up the car, shut it off and fired it up again.
The engine, it seemed, was running just fine.
A look of horror came over Patrick's face. Stunned, she walked alone to the corner of the garage and put her hands on her temples, back facing the car.
Was the problem fixable after all? Could she simply have fixed the issue on pit road or switched to the backup ignition?
Suddenly, she seemed to be on the verge of tears. She bent over, hands on her knees and stared at the ground.


Oh Danica your so predictable !!!!!! :roflblack:
 
Speed TV reporting 14 fans transported off Daytona Speedway property. 11 to Halifax trauma center. Two are critical but stable. No fatalities.
 
Did anyone see the video a fan shot. He/she was only a few seats from where the tire landed:yikes:. The vid shows a guy taking his shirt off trying to help as other fans franticly yelled to officials to get there attention.

Thoughts and prayers to the fans and thier families..:pray:
 
Yep....looking forward to it. Hope the weather holds out.

OK...What lap does Dannaca get caught up in a wreck? Her fault or not?....

I hope she does well, but I'll say it will be around lap 50, and gets caught up in wreck.
 
nascar rules

why is a race allowed to end during a caution, rather than stopping, cleaning up the mess, then resuming play ? i don't get that.:dontknow:

Race ends under caution only after the white has been waved (indicating the final lap) if there's a caution before that they will continue for the scheduled distance or make up to 3 attempts at a green, white, checkered.
 
DANNY! :D
You've been missing for too long! :thumbup:
:yes::ohyea::yes: Glad that you've crawled out from under all of those Vee-four engines to check in! :2thumbs:

Well the race started out about how I figured that it would; Jeff side-drafted off of the 10 and took the lead...
But he's got debris on his grille...:gaah:
