did the fight happen?

BodyCount81 · 08-12-2012, 07:21 PM

Nope. I was pretty shocked that they didn't even argue or anything since both of them have a history with each other. Last I saw, the camera was in front of Busch as he was trying to be interviewed by many and he kept on walking so I'm assuming he just left.

Oh I saw it. That **** was epic. Best finish of the year.

And holy **** was Martins wreck scary as ****. I've never seen that happen before. Thank god it went behind the drivers seat.

Yeah it could have been bad. I bet tracks may try to put the water barrels at places like that. It would be smart.

Jr. looks like he has the fastest car but JJ is sticking with him. Keselowski is strong as well. I think it will come down to the pit stops if it stays green. No tires might be the way to do it.

Edit. Nevermind. JJ has taken off.

Fat Joe · 08-19-2012, 02:34 PM

JJ is running away right now. Hopefully if this stays green Jr can reel him in. I dont know how either driver has done on long green runs but it doesnt feel like there has been too many of those today.

Edit - nevermind, they're both going to have to come back in 1 more time anyway.

BodyCount81 · 08-19-2012, 02:45 PM

Keselowski looks like he can take it home if it stays green. Jr. has started to fade since that stop and will be 4th once it cycles around.

Edit: Hendrick motors haven't been lasting today. I think Keselowski will drive it in hard under Biffle on the restart and win it.

Fat Joe · 08-19-2012, 03:02 PM

WOW! Unbelievable.

BodyCount81 · 08-22-2012, 10:25 PM

I used to dislike JJ with a passion. But over the past year I've grown to like him somewhat. Still don't want him to dominate like he did during his championships run.

Hilarious that JJ was flipping off Kyle Busch.

edit:
LOL. The Busch brothers are nuts. And lol at Dale Sr. telling them to put Gordon into the wall.

BodyCount81 · 09-02-2012, 10:28 PM

Jeff should have ran up on Hamlin's bumper in turn 3. I think he could have gotten him loose with that run and won it. I would rather see him win than Hamlin. Can't stand that guy for some reason.

Hated it for Truex Jr. I was really pulling for him at the end.

>>Empire2k11<< · 09-03-2012, 05:13 AM

same here, for some reason, i just dislike hamlin

Nascars buying the ALMS and liquidating its assets into Grandam.

if they dont **** up the classes it will be a win for both series... CART and IRL never did any good while competing against each other..granted they have gone in the ****ter now but its a good plan to merge... especially since NASCAR has the money to put into the sport

kfresh · 09-03-2012, 06:32 PM

I have a feeling this is going to be come race in grand am under grand am rules or find someplace else.

BodyCount81 v2 · 09-07-2012, 10:33 PM

I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Anyway, can't wait for the race tomorrow night. Richmond has always been a favorite... I hope someone puts Kyle Busch into the wall crushing his chances at making the chase.

J.Clay12 · 10-02-2012, 12:58 PM

Huge Gordon fan here... Sucks about the 1st race of the chase... He would be in contention right now if it wasn't for that... I think 5 time is going to become 6 time this year

BodyCount81 · 10-02-2012, 01:39 PM

I don't know. Keselowski has been doing just as good. I like how they get the good fuel mileage as well and they seem to always be thinking about some type of strategy. I also like Keselowski as a driver, I think he still has a bit of maturing to do but overall I like his attitude and him as a person. Out of the top 3, I want him to win.

I think it will be good for the sport to see someone like Keselowski who isn't as big of a name as Johnson, Hamlin, Stewart, etc.

J.Clay12 · 10-02-2012, 07:14 PM

Yeah I do agree with you, like you said he is still a young driver and I think that will affect him in 1 or 2 of the chase races which will cost him big time in the points. Doesn't have the composure that a champion needs (yet). But he will win one soon I believe. But yeah it would be great for a new young driver to win like keselowski or Kahne. If he does win the Championship this year it will be because of his fuel mileage. Only team that can get the damn thing right!

BodyCount81 · 10-02-2012, 08:22 PM

Bowyer got the mileage down at Richmond. That was unbelievable. There have been quite a few boring races this year but there have definitely been some exciting ones. The Watkins Glen race was an awesome finish. The Richmond race was pretty good as well. The Michigan race that Jr. won was epic just because of Jr. winning. Was so glad to see him get a win.

BodyCount81 · 10-07-2012, 03:36 PM

Jr. is back on the lead lap.

HarleyR62 · 10-07-2012, 04:41 PM

well hopefully that finish will make the fans happy

BodyCount81 · 10-07-2012, 08:50 PM

This was by far the most exciting restrictor plate race this year imo. I didn't see the first Talladega race so it could have been better but the two Daytona races were boring imo. The outside lane couldn't move and it was Biffle/Kenseth leading the whole time at Daytona.

I wasn't excited with the ending. Stewart goofed up and took out 75% or more of the remaining field. Although, I was surprised they hadn't crashed before that since they were 4 wide the whole Green-White-Checkered.

Another thing. I think they should extend the GWC finishes at the superspeedways. Two laps is not enough time to get up to speed but if they were to crash before the white flag then go back to the traditional two lap GWC. Just some thoughts.
