Man, I wish an established team would pick up Ranger... even JR Fitzpatrick has more talent than half the Nationwide field nowadays. I wouldn't go that far. No? Fitzpatrick is young and has minimal experience in the Nationwide COT's on ovals. Throw in the fact that he's with a brand new team (a Can...
Agreed, there were a lot of racin' deals, but it's also to prove just that - it's racin'. For example, I thought "Why would they show Kurt screwing up at Indy and wrecking the 10?" Well, the point was simply that when the opposite happened at Loudon, Kurt had a fit. With the Stewart incide...
If those were the old cars, I'm pretty sure they'd all end up in the inside wall. You'd see guys hang it all out there at times, but everyone's doing it often. The cars are just so stable compared to the old days.
Havn't kept up with youtube in a few months, sad to hear about de31168's situation. From what I can tell, his situation is that he was fed up with everyone requesting that he post certain videos. He has a crapton more subscribers than I do, and I've only ever had ONE guy pester me non-stop for a vi...
Weird, Michael Waltrip forgot fairly quickly what it's like to get shit from the same guy every week... 2WujylBUo48 ...he also kinda forgot what being a "chicken" and a "coward" is like. He left out the word "hypocrite", but pretty much described himself in that article...
I mean, Mikey isn't a champion, so it's OK to expect this out of him. VjQf_BAu_Sk Sorry about the over-abundance of videos... there's also that time at Darlington in 2004, at the Southern 500, when Jimmy Spencer got into him and caused a wreck. Jimmy (who I believe was running the 50 car for... Arno...
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of making a move like that... people weren't big fans of Rusty Wallace making such a move at The Winston, either. As popular as Dale Earnhardt was, he still got booed like crazy after the '99 Bristol night race. I'm not condoning what Larson did, nor am I comparing the kid t...
I know there's a while to go before the actual race starts, but does anyone have a stream to Speed and all the pre-race junk? Help us work-stranded folks out, perhaps?
$25,000 is a fair fine. My two cents. I thought America was pretty big on freedom of speech? Not NASCAR, it seems. Say what you like. Just make sure it's what we want to hear. That's another thing that's been bugging me. You can throw around the "first amendment" argument all you want, bu...
Tony definitely has nothing to bitch about when it comes to blocking. Daytona in '06, Pocono in '06 and Talladega last October are still pretty fresh in my mind, so him going off the handle for something he's done several times is quite funny. As for the Joey\Denny thing, had nothing happened betwee...
I spent most of yesterday being incredibly pissed off about the double-file restarts, and how the outside lane was just not the place to be. A driver and team can make ground on the track, and pass cars on the pit lane, but if you pass one car too many and end up in an even-numbered position, you ca...
I was bored at work the other day, so I did some stat and number crunching while looking at some of the greats in the sport. There's been a lot of talk about comparing Jimmie Johnson to Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty in recent days... drivers are definitely a forever-changing breed, so comparing J...
Also, I don't expect you to read all of that. I needed an outlet since this was on my mind, and since I don't have a blog for racing like I do with video games, TBK just so happened to be it.
Huh. I was watching the 2003 Darlington race last night (you know, *that* one), and Blaney gave that 77 car a helluva run that day. By all means, there were a couple times Busch and Craven should have wrecked, and Blaney could've won. What we ended up getting was epic, but a Blaney win would have b...
