2012 NASCAR Discussion

And Jimmie just went down...normally I wouldn't mine because I don't like him but this is s race where teamwork prevails. That's gonna hurt the rest of Hendrick Motorsports.

p.s. I don't like Kenseth.

BodyCount81 · 05-06-2012, 01:54 PM

The first one wasn't a Hendrick engine. It was DEI/Childress.

kfresh · 05-06-2012, 01:55 PM

78 used to get all their stuff from hendrick

BodyCount81 · 05-06-2012, 01:59 PM

Commentators said it was from the Childress-Earnhardt teams. Idk.

kfresh · 05-06-2012, 03:01 PM

well i hope the "fans" enjoyed that...

BodyCount81 · 05-06-2012, 03:06 PM

Is it me or does it seem like racing hasnt been as agressivr here lately? There have a lot less cautions this year.

kfresh · 05-06-2012, 03:18 PM

well like gordon said today they can't even race the cars because they get so hot just being in the draft.. idk about the other tracks.

kfresh · 05-06-2012, 03:26 PM

kenseth has a giant hole in his fender, there is no way he should be leading right now... fords are sand bagging?

BodyCount81 · 05-06-2012, 03:46 PM

And that net is flapping around. I'm surprised NASCAR will let him race with it like that. Fords have been strong at the supersoeedways this year. Usually it's the Chevys.

BodyCount81 · 05-06-2012, 03:51 PM

Jr. is right up there.

I would love to see him steal this from Kenseth. He's got a pretty decent car and knows how to win at these tracks. He just needs some help.

kfresh · 05-06-2012, 03:54 PM

i don't think anyone can pass kenseth, they'll wreck eachother before they get to him even if they do work together.

BodyCount81 · 05-06-2012, 03:58 PM

That's what I'm afraid of.

They really need to get this back to actual racing before Daytona. But I doubt they'll make that change in the middle of the season.

>>Empire2k11<< · 05-06-2012, 04:06 PM

Nice to see Brad win.

kfresh · 05-06-2012, 04:06 PM

well that went better than expected, i think biffle screwed kenseth by dragging the brake trying to get a run on him after matt took the lead.

still probably the most boring race of the year.

I'm glad Kenseth or Bush didn't win.

I agree about it being boring.

Anyone else see Tony Stewart's interview after the race? He was basically saying how it was kind of boring and if half the field wasn't out of the race before the final lap then the race should be extended until enough crashed out. lol.

I want to go to the Bristol night race in August. I really wanted to go to the Daytona race in July but we'll be at the lake all that week. I wouldn't mind flying down there myself but I doubt I could rent a car being 18 and I wouldn't want to stay a night either. I would fly down Saturday morning and then arrive sometime between 1-3. Cruise the vendors for a while, watch the race, go back to the airport and catch a flight whenever I could.

The Bristol night race is awesome. That place is so loud it's unreal

BodyCount81 · 05-07-2012, 11:13 PM

I bet. That's one of my favorite races to watch. Charlotte, Pocono, Bristol, Daytona, Dega, and the road courses are probably my favorite tracks to watch. I like Dover as well.

Stewart was hilarious in that. I died loling. Overall the race was boring, but there was some nice pieces of driving to avoid wrecks all day.

I dont understand the radiator change though, what exactly is NASCAR trying to accomplish by doing that? It doesnt seem like its being well received by anyone involved.

And also, I might be going to Bristol in August. Not sure as of this moment, but apparently my cousin can get tickets at face value, so we may make the trip down. Its definitely on my list of **** to do before I die.

kfresh · 05-07-2012, 11:41 PM

i wouldn't go to bristol simply because bruton smith is a **** head...

he is a cancer to the motor racing industry.

I thought you were going to Daytona?

I'm not quite sure what they're doing with the radiator thing either. I wish they would go back to the way it was back in the mid 2000s.

I'm assuming he owns the facility or something like that?

Has anyone seen Austin Dillon running the #3 in the Nationwide series? I'm not sure how that will work out when/if he moves up to the Cup series.
