2011 NASCAR Season

Sscottfitz · 03-06-2011, 02:05 PM

Hoping for a good race today -- looking like the Fords may be tough as they've been fast in all the practices -- hopefully the Hendrick crew figured something out last night. Also, I HOPE it doesn't come down to another "fuel mileage" race -- even though "Mark the Kid Martin" pulled one out yesterday based on fuel mileage and a blown right front tire......

I wanted Tony to win. But looks as the two tire gamble for Carl worked.

I don't think Tony had a choice but to take four after that pit penalty. His left sides were much older than the 99 and 42s.

Shaping up to be a pretty competitive season so far. Good run for the 42, bad luck for the 24... that was a pretty hard hit!

Yea -- I like Carl, but Tony clearly had the strongest car -- a little frustrated by the 5 yesterday -- they could NOT get the car to loosen up -- they've clearly got some work to do for the 1.5 mile cookie cutter tracks.

A week off and then the world's fastest short track! Bristol baby!!!!!

Sscottfitz · 03-20-2011, 12:24 PM

Looking forward to my most favorite 1/2 mile track -- hopefully the fords will be going backwards and the chevys start moving to the front.

Sounds like the Tires are still going to be the wild card

#5 looked good in practice! (I'm an eternal optimist)

m4a1mustang · 03-20-2011, 12:27 PM

Yeah I hope it's a good race! Should be.

Yesterday in the Nationwide race I thought Danica was doing well for a first timer at Bristol. She was going to get a top 20 finish until she got caught up with Ryan Truex.

Zat_Zuma · 03-20-2011, 12:30 PM

I was waiting for her to toss her helmet

Which begs the question: As a Nascar driver, how would you tussle with Danica in a disagreement? You shouldn't throw punches but would a shoving match be ok?

All you can do is yell. If she hits you, you just have to take it like a man. If you lay a hand on her you'd be crucified in the media.

Of course if I was a driver and we got in a wreck, I'd go up to her and say, "make up sex?"

Then get bitch slapped 6 ways from Sunday I'm sure.

Zat_Zuma · 03-20-2011, 12:32 PM

Or give her a slap across the helmet in self defense?

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't fly at all.

Given her personailty, if she EVER gets into NASCAR full time she IS going to have some conflicts -- will be interesting to see how the drivers handle it.

I laughed yesterday at the radio traffic between Truex and his spotter after the accident -- he said, it must of been my fault since Danica wrecked....... Personally, it was typical Bristol, he probably came down a little, but Danica probably should have given him a little more room -- close knit racing.......

Gonna be some more feelins hurt today!

m4a1mustang · 04-04-2011, 09:06 AM

So how about the race yesterday? Pretty good. I'm not a Harvick fan, so I was kind of dissapointed to see him get by the 88 at the end, but a good race nonetheless.

Also, looks like we'll see Kimi Raikkonen in a truck at Charlotte next month.

Got into the Hotel in San Antonio in time to see the last 100 laps of the race -- still a little disappointed in the #5 this year (although he is in the top 10) -- but seemed like Kevin did a good job of saving his car for the last few laps -- looked like Jr was fighting "loose"....

Will be interesting to see if the Hendrick boys have solved their intermediate track problems -- AND if JGR guys have fixed their engine problems.....

Not truly "stock" cars. And oval tracks ain't very interesting
