2007 NASCAR Thread

[cougarjake13]

So does that mean we throw coke at him next year or still just beer?

beer is too expensive

[Dan 'Hampton]

Not at nascar it isn't.

[cougarjake13]

Not at nascar it isn't.

they dont charge 5 bucks or more at races ???

[Dan 'Hampton]

B.Y.O.B.

As long as its not in glass.

[cougarjake13]

B.Y.O.B.

As long as its not in glass.

really ??

is that for all tracks ????

and i'm talking inside the track, not tailgating

[Dan 'Hampton]

Not sure about all tracks but at louden i walked in with 12 beers in my cooler. Not even the cops care if you're drinking walking up to the track.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Cougar, you never knew you could BYOB at Nascar? They'll check your cooler for bombs, but couldn't give two shits if you bring your own beer.

[Tenbatsuzen]

BTW, the chicks on SPEED's NASCAR coverage are 10x hotter than the girls ESPN, TNT, or Fox uses.

[Reephdweller]

What the fuck happened to "wide open" coverage on TNT?

[AngelAmy]

Jimmie is in the lead


YEAH BITCHES!!!


its also good to see Denny and Smoke patched things up

[led37zep]

I keep catching bits and pieces of the race. Have they talked about why Jr. is driving so high on the track? Whats the logic?

[AngelAmy]

I keep catching bits and pieces of the race. Have they talked about why Jr. is driving so high on the track? Whats the logic?

yeah he's been up there the whole race

[led37zep]

oh ya...if anyone cares I worked on that Hinder "born to be wild" promo they keep airing throughout the race.


Amy: Ya, I've noticed that, makes no sense to me. Maybe just doing a little race day test?

[AngelAmy]

oh ya...if anyone cares I worked on that Hinder "born to be wild" promo they keep airing throughout the race.


Amy: Ya, I've noticed that, makes no sense to me. Maybe just doing a little race day test?

i love that hinder promo!!



and with dale, i dunno if they explained why he is doing it, im not paying too much attention to the audio

[AngelAmy]

dale is running low again
maybe he had some kinks to work out



nevermind, he's back up top

[led37zep]

As soon as you posted that he went right back up to the top...just nutty. Seems to be working for him, he's moving up a bit.

[AngelAmy]

yeah i know, fucking dale proving me wrong

he must be stalking me

[led37zep]

I thought I saw a lap top in his car...now thats multi-tasking!

Congrats on the billionaire stalker!

[AngelAmy]

nice racing going on between jimmie and smoke right now


hope jimmie wins the race, he needs the boost in points.

and w00t dale is stalking me!!

[led37zep]

Where's Tenbatsuzen right now? his boy is leading, I'd figure he'd be here enjoying this.

[AngelAmy]

haha i love how the first thing he does after he wrecks is putting on his sponsor hat

[led37zep]

Maybe Jr is just going to win this race with pit stops. 3 spot bump in 1 pit...damn!

[AngelAmy]

Maybe Jr is just going to win this race with pit stops. 3 spot bump in 1 pit...damn!

that would just be incredible, stalking and winning!!!



i kinda hope he wins, he's due for one

[led37zep]

oh shit...Jr is having problems!

[AngelAmy]

did truex jr just go into the garage?

[led37zep]

Amy are you typing back to JR or something? he's saying its "power steering" but I think we both know whats going on here. just reply to his stalker IM's that you'll talk after the race.

[AngelAmy]

i told him to call me after

he just wont leave me alone

[Tenbatsuzen]

Dale Jr. just has zero luck.

You just don't see this shit with Hendrick cars.

[AngelAmy]

Dale Jr. just has zero luck.

You just don't see this shit with Hendrick cars.

it's so true.


shit he is just all over the place too

[AngelAmy]

Fuck Fuck Fuck Jimmie Is Into The Wall

[led37zep]

Well I think he's started to listen to you...he's slowing moving up from that little "amy distraction"

Oh shit...Jimmie just crashed!

[led37zep]

Damn that tire just exploded.

[AngelAmy]

mother fucker..........GOD DAMMIT!!!!

its just not jimmie's season right now

[Tenbatsuzen]

Dale Jr. just has zero luck.

You just don't see this shit with Hendrick cars.

today is obviously whatever matty types, the opposite happens.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Dale Jr. will just never have sex with Shelle.


Matty will never be able to buy a house.

Amy will never have giant fake boobs.

[led37zep]

Dale Jr. will just never have sex with Shelle.


Matty will never be able to buy a house.

Amy will never have giant fake boobs.

Ha! good luck with those!

[AngelAmy]

I guess it would be cool is Smoke won today.........I'm still mourning over Jimmie's tire.

[led37zep]

Looks like Tony is going to get that first win of the season today....nice big lead with 2 laps

[Tenbatsuzen]

see Sigpic, Bitches.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I heard a rumor that NASCAR requires Smoke to keep his helmet on if he climbs the fence.

[led37zep]

I heard a rumor that NASCAR requires Smoke to keep his helmet on if he climbs the fence.

You think thats what the official was telling him before he climbed up? Fucking Lawyers are nervous nellys

[Tenbatsuzen]

You think thats what the official was telling him before he climbed up? Fucking Lawyers are nervous nellys

I actually did some fact checking. It's more of a Gibbs thing - JD Gibbs said that he doesn't care if Tony climbs the fence, as long as he keeps his helmet on.

I'm guessing the NASCAR official was "reminding" him of that fact.

For what it's worth, it makes sense. You fall 20 feet from a fence onto banked asphalt, the results will not be fucking pretty.

[Tenbatsuzen]

BTW, this is bittersweet...

I've LOVED Kyle Petty on TNT. He's been GREAT.

However, he is offset by Bill Weber.

Now we go to ABC/ESPN package. Next stop: Indy.

[Dan 'Hampton]

I'd like to thank the local electric company along with the storm that blew through around 330 for me missing the race. Thanks dicks.

She's on NBC 4 every day here in DC. She's pretty cool. I was surprised to see her doing the race coverage. I guess she's moving up in the world.

I'm gonna go with Wendi Venturini.....just because I've seen her face to face at Atlanta and she has gigantic tits.


Plus, we have one of her dad's old racing seat in our dirt car.

Ginn Racing has done the following:

- Released Front Roe Joe Nemechek. No replacement due to lack of sponsorship.

- Released Sterling Marlin, replaced with Regan Smith, who was splitting time in Mark Martin's 01 ride.

- Signed Aric Amirola, who was part of that Denny Hamlin schmozz in the Busch race a few weeks back, to be the part-time drive in Mark Martin's 01, replacing Regan Smith.

The best part is, once he retires, he'll probably take a spot on TNT and/or ESPN.

He's semi-decent on Speed. Better than DW, imho.

Although Kyle on TNT was amazing. Really, really good.

yeh i liked kyle


but i can just see dw and mw talking to each other like they're just sitting at home bs'ing but its going over the air and no ones gonna get what the fuck theyre talking about

[PapaBear]

Kyle's motorcycle thingy passed about 10 miles from here the other day. I wish I had known about it. He, Richard, Park, etc all stopped for autographs.

[Freitag]

Rumors are strengthening that it'll be Dale Jr. piloting the #5 Mountain Dew/AMP car. However, there were also rumors that he was going to be driving for Gibbs with Visa, and starting his own Cup team with Hendrick cars. So I won't believe nothing until it's set.

The write who floated the Dew rumor also said that Junior might be running the National Guard as Mears would take over Kellogg. Only problem with that is, the National Guard contract is year-to-year and Mears would be sponsor free anyway. So take everything with a grain of salt.

[cougarjake13]

As FOXSports.com first reported earlier this month, sources confirm that a merger between Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Ginn Racing has been completed.

Four teams — the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops with Martin Truex Jr., the No. 8 Budweiser with Dale Earnhardt Jr., the No. 15 with Paul Menard and the No. 01 with Mark Martin — will travel under the new DEI banner this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Bobby Ginn will be listed as the owner of the Nos. 01 and 15 cars.

[PhilDeez]

Menard is picking up owner points from Nemecheks #13, wouldn't he have to drive it?

[PapaBear]

If a team changes drivers, the owner's points are saved, but not the driver points. Menard can still earn points for the team.

[PhilDeez]

Thanks. As a Marlin fan, I could give two flips about what anyone on the new team does...hopefully nothing.

After losing Dale, Theresa really had no choice. Neither did Ginn.

Have you seen Menard drive? Relax, you have nothing to worry about.

espn's coverage of that busch race was TERRIBLE last night

[Tenbatsuzen]

Who is driving that red car? He's in front of everybody.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Wow... tony was working Junior something fierce and then there's a gigantic schmozz behind them which fucks up JJ and a bunch of others.

what happened

[Tenbatsuzen]

man i was flipping back and forth betw nascar and arena bowl


what happened

Riggs, Yeley, Elliot, McMurray, JJ, Rudd, Edwards, and Robby Gordon. JJ's car is messed up but he's there.

Kahne is out - crashed with Tony Raines.

Green hit the wall hard solo.

And Newman got messed up too, which helps pad Junior's advatange over him.

congrats for your boy, tenbats.
Can't wait for my boy to be wearing a Hendrick's logo.

I HATE JG
I HATE JJ

But when you want the best equipment, the best engines, the best chassis department, and the best pit crews, you can't deny it's Hendrick Motorsports.

DEI has totally dropped the ball for little e. Today's Brickyard was just another example of how his talent was just wasted by ANOTHER fuckup from the garage.

He's lost his engine and his power steering in the past few weeks. The engine was totally not his fault. Power steering was iffy. But you're right, DEI's being crapping the bed but it always seems to happen to Dale and not Truex. Wonder why.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Wow.

Just... wow.

I just heard the most cringe-inducing interview ever.

Bill Simmons - ESPN's Sports Guy - interviews Tony Stewart.

Simmons was woefully unprepared for the interview, thought that Stewart's Nextel number was 33 (I know it's his busch number) and the interview just went 8 different ways to awful. Even Smoke was like, "Dude, what the fuck?!!?"

Who knew NASCAR revved Paris Hilton's engine? Driver Kasey Kahne was out at Les Duex in Hollywood Wednesday night when he bumped into the ubiquitous celebutant. "The two of them chatted for a while, and before they parted ways for the night, she leaned in and whispered ‘God, you're cute' and kissed him!" says our source.

I still can't believe that she LET Jr. get away..she phucked up big-time(in my opinion)

wouldn't it be best for everyone If Kyle wound up on the same team as his bro?...they block for each other,they qualify close together...wtf?..they might as well be on the same damned team:unsure:

[cougarjake13]

I still can't believe that she LET Jr. get away..she phucked up big-time(in my opinion)

she let him get away b/c they couldnt co exist

she wanted to maintain control and he wanted majority control

there was no way she could keep him unless she was willing to step aside

it wasnt about money , if it was then he'd still be a part of DEI

[El Mudo]

This Robby Gordon thing is nuts....For those that don't know, he ignored NASCAR's black flag order last night in Montreal during the Busch Race (even though he was technically right as he got bumped during a caution...but NASCAR told him to go back to 13th and he didn't) so they kicked him out of today's race. The fact that he went and did a burnout next to Kevin Harvick after the race was hysterical



I will say this though....the whole thing did make me laugh...I think i'm a Robby Gordon fan now

Also, looking at Busch's wife, it appears that Kurt isn't the only one who got some plastic surgery.

[buzzard]

looks as though,we're ALL happy to let/have Jeffy win his fifth!

[scottinnj]

This sucks.
Dale Earnhardts' best finish of the year, and he leaves the top 12 and is outside the chase standings.

I hate Kurt Busch.

the Busch Bros. Suck ass!...my wife adds.."they suck each others' ass....assholes!"

[El Mudo]

Still better than Bill fucking Weber.



Meh...at least I could follow what was happening with Weber...and I wouldn't have to wait 30 laps for things to be explained (like Jeff Gordon's pit problems, or the whole Carl Edwards thing)


And the fact that the penultimate moment of the race happened while they were away at commercial? Inexcuseable. Plus, they did a terrible job of segueing from replays back to live action...sometimes it was hard to pickup where the replays stopped and the actual race began

[El Mudo]

Even with all that being said...we've clinched a spot in the chase, so I'm happy with that


Hooray!!!!

Nice little punt by CARL~! on Douchebag the Younger.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Don't worry Dale. You won't have to deal with this shit next year.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Wow, this is hysterical -

Harvick and Montoya get into a fight with helmets on, and then a fan goes and asks Kenseth for an autograph under a red flag. Awesome.

[scottinnj]

Yeah reminds me of the good old days.

[cougarjake13]

wooooooohooooooooooooooooo


lets go tony !!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually hate road races, but outside of Junior's engine, this was the best race in a while.

Is there a fence to climb at Watkins? Guess not. Off.

Dale Jr. 100 points out, in 14th.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Jeff FREAKING Gordon. In the deuce-quad. Spinaroonie. Smoke blows by. Are you kidding me? Tony Stewart. Late. Out.

I still can't believe JG fucked himself so badly yesterday,kudos to Tony for being right there to snatch the win.WTF Hamlin only gained 20 points on Jeffy though.

We're in the Chase already, so any wins at this point are just gravy

DEI has right of first refusal on the number. Hendrick wanted to work out a deal, DEI didn't.

I don't think Hendrick tried too hard, because it's all about merchandising and with a new sponsor, the Budweiser stuff is going to be outdated.

Who you calling "hayseed" - If Maryland updated their logos, wouldn't you want to wear the new gear?

I absolute cannot wear player jerseys if the player has left the team and/or not enough time has passed for it to be "retro".

You can only wear player jerseys after they have left the team if they: retired with the team and/or left the team and played with another for only a year or two before retiring.

Dale has a new sponsor, and a new number - you'll look MORE like a hayseed if you don't update.

Testudo's never going away...so I dont have to worry about MD changing anything, and you just made the same point I made that its a smart business decision to make them buy the Dale Jr. stuff all over again

The "hayseeds" im referring to are people like my relatives, who have entire ROOMS...yes, entire ROOMS of their houses with nothing but Jr. and. Sr. stuff. And it also refers to those jackoffs at places like Jeff-adega that decide since they don't like Jeff Gordon they want to throw things at him when he trounces their boy on the track AGAIN

Yeah that is hilarious. I don't get why she wouldn't give up the rights to #8. Ballsy of her to ask for a cut of merchandising on the new #8, really glad Hendrick said take a hike. She can't be this stupid. Whoever drives the 8 next year is not going to move merch much less go over with the fans. I can see it now... beer cans a flying at the schlep in the 8, and Theresa won't even realize it because she is so uninvolved.
I understand the business motives behind Hendrick wanting fans to buy all new Jr. gear, but they would have anyway. Even if he kept 8, he would be in a different car, color, sponsor, so none of the red Bud gear would work. Either way his merch sales would have been through the roof. I think it hurts DEI more to keep the rights to #8 and put someone else in it.

This is really coming off as personal. She just don't want to give JR anything. This is the way it seems. If things were great between her and JR, he would have never left.

[sailor]

i've heard talk of him taking something in the 80s, possibly 81. is 83 available? that would make more sense, and would stick it to the step-mom as well. (i have to assume it's not available or someone would have come up with it already.)

It's gonna be 08 or 81. I'm betting on 81, simply because of his allegiance to the Redskins.

And Dale has openly said that he'd like to drive the #3 for RCR when his career is winding down.

[Freitag]

I'm utilizing Fox's racetrax for this... Dale is currently running dead last. great.

[Freitag]

And Junior begins the charge. Now in 29th.

Junior will take the lead and...

A) Blow a tire

B) Blow an engine

C) Lose the transmission

D) Get bumped by Montoya

Voting begins now!

[Freitag]

Junior is in 21st, Competition Caution comes out, Lap 35. He's gained 22 spots in 35 laps.

David Ragan is driving directly in front of both Smoke and June. Considering that if the wind blows a certain way he crashes, I'm very nervous right now.

DEI blows two engines today, and the java-cast didn't tell me why Dale Jr. dropped from being #6 to finishing #12.

Dale moves up a spot, but he loses ground in the chase, he's now 150 points out. Ridiculous.

grrrrrrr
i was hoping for a top 10 finish

im not too picky, his car wasnt that great today

[led37zep]

These last 100 laps have really been hit by the cautions. There was nothing for the first 100 now its been one after another.

COME ON Jr!!!!!!

Hmm, I'm hungry, maybe I'll use these yellow for good rather than evil.

[AngelAmy]

smoke crept up to 6th somehow, i didnt even see him!

im really happy for kahne, he has been doing so terribly all season

[AngelAmy]

im happy for kahne and junior for their great finishes....what a race

[led37zep]

Jr really just hung out around 5th all race, didn't really challenge for position much. I'm sure he just wanted to finish for the points and try and break the top 12.

Toyota was shit in the truck series the first year. Of course, Toyota's dominance in trucks is mainly because the other manufacturers don't give a shit in truck.

With a top tier team running their engines as well as partaking in engine development this is going to be HUGE for Toyota. Not even to mention the fact Chevy now loses JGR in their engine development. Hands down Toyota makes better engines in their passenger cars, it's only a matter of time before they put together a truly competitive racing motor.

A third Hendrick Chevy, the one driven by Kyle Busch, timed in third, with Ryan Newman's Dodge and Denny Hamlin's Chevrolet completing the top five."

I'm not one of those guys that thinks you have to pull for the whole team. I'm just messing w/ya. I'm on the other side. I don't want to see Jimmie win - again.

We'll find out Wed.

http://autoracingsport.com/nascar/earnhardt-jr-to-reveal-sponsors-and-car-no-next-wednesday/#more-4243

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will reveal his 2008 number and sponsors in a news conference at the Dallas Convention Center next Wednesday, Hendrick Motorsports officials announced Thursday.

Sources confirmed earlier that Mountain Dew and the Amp energy drink, both PepsiCo Inc. products, will become two of Earnhardt’s primary sponsors next season.

The announcement is coming in Dallas because PepisCo Inc. executives are having an annual conference there next week.

The National Guard, which now sponsors the No. 25 Chevy of Casey Mears for the Hendrick team, is also expected to move to Earnhardt’s car in 2008.

The No. 25 is being eliminated and Mears is moving the No. 5 Hendrick Chevy, which is sponsored by Kellogg’s.

Earnhardt and team owner Rick Hendrick have managed to keep the new number a secret, except to say the number 8 will be involved in some fashion.

Hendrick Motorsports has requested trademarks from the U.S. Patent Office for five numbers that include an 8 — 81, 82, 38, 58 and 28. The number 28 was requested last week, which led to speculation it’s the choice, but Earnhardt previously said he liked 81.

Hendrick officials and Earnhardt also will reveal his car’s paint scheme for 2008 at the news conference.
