Quote from RiseAgainstMe! :I normally don't mind if a driver likes to make things exciting at least semi-within the rules.

But I doubt I will never forgive him for what he did to Hornaday in the trucks. Straight wrecking a championship contender under yellow isn't adding entertainment value, it's just sad.

I admit he's a very talented driver, but I will glory in every time he fails or gets punted from now on.

this post is exactly how I feel.
Just made my picks on nascar fantasy for the daytona 500.

True, but just like Schumacher no matter how good you are, if you wreck people to win then you lose all credibilty in my opinion.

When did Schumie wreck people to win??? Give me an example??

1997 Jerez. He got DQ'ed from the Championship for it

1994 Adelaide. After hitting the wall he let Damon Hill go inside of him and then turned in on him wrecking himself and damaging Damons car enough that Hill couldn't continue.

I think everyone who has won in NASCAR multiple times has won by that way at least once, so why do you like NASCAR exactly?

Cos of the oval/high speed simplicity. It's the one thing about NASCAR that pisses me off that they allow competitors to nerf other competitors to win. It just promotes people to follow it and be twats.
Just a friendly reminder to anyone not immersed in NASCAR-land that there are 2 qualifying races today

@2pm EST, so it's probably great timing for Europe if y'all can find a stream
NASCAR usually offers a free onboard camera stream with 4 windows at a time. not sure if it is USA only tho.
Qualifying races will be starting in 45 min. I'll be watching them on DVR tonight though I'm afriad. Should be good insight into the Daytona 500, but maybe a little calmer
Going to try to stream the first one here at work, have bowling at 4 though. I don't get too excited for the Duels though, with the top 35 and all the point-buying that goes on, most of the big names are locked in anyway.
Spoiler - click to revealLOL Michael Waltrip


See BlueFlame? Experienced drivers can't even make that transition when their car is totally in control.

EDIT: well, that failed, is there a way to make spoiler tags on this forum?
ouch danica
Quote from JackDaMaster :ouch danica

First thing they ask Tony when he gets out in victory lane... so how do you feel about Danica losing a car?

*facepalm

Also, she's the GREATEST DRIVER EVER because she lets go of the wheel before she hits the wall... isn't that driver school 101?
How many practise races do they run before the actual 500 is ran?
Quote from Hyperactive :How many practise races do they run before the actual 500 is ran?

Well, there's the shootout, which is mostly a fun one for money... and not everyone gets to run.

These are qualifying races, they determine who actually makes the 500, in what order.

Besides that... a lot of practice sessions.

He just rammed it back up the track and seemed not to expect the car to get out of shape. Anyway, things I hear about M.Waltrip is that he should retire cos he's always making these kind of mistakes.
waltrip sucks
Johnson didn't have a bad race considering he was nerfed by lapped cars.
Poor Kenny Wallace
ESPN didn't even say who won the first duel because they were too busy doing a summary of Danica's race. Jeez, we even had to watch her significant misses on the wrecks she wan't involved in.
