the official Nascar thread.

[slacker2114]

You have as much chance of making lk a 24 fan as you do me, which is NONE. But don't take my word for it. Just ask her. 😀 By the way, I heard a VERY interesting story about Gordon last night that I'm sure she'll pass on to you as well.

Johnson winning the championship....BOO! I'm pulling for him to get a DNF personally. And sometimes, dreams DO come true. I sure hope this is one of those times. I'm pulling for either Harvick or Jr in this since Mark is out of it now. Guess we'll see next week.

 

[isabeau]

Well only one race left..my guess is Jimmy Johnson will win..if my Mark Martin can't win, then he is the next best thing..

two words guys....yuck on Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart..also i was very glad to see Ward back..hopefully he will be back next year as well..

 

[jd58]

well congrats to k. harvick on yesterdays win. it looks like jimmie's going to be champion. he only has to place 12th or better at homestead.
as a jeff gordon fan i've been disappointed in his chase run but then he did have 3 bad races. you can't do that and win the championship.oh well, there's 07.
as of today there are 97 until the daytona 500.( feb. 18th ) that means i have 97 days to turn lk70 into a jeff gordon fan 😀 .
i heard a rumor that yates racing might only race the 38 car next year and that rcr racing are interested in maybe buying the 88 team.

i have to correct myself. it's not RCR. it's DEI. OPP'S

As the beast up there mentioned, I have a Jeff Gordon story for you all.

It's been confirmed he's gay. He was caught in the infield performing oral sex on another man.

The rest of the drivers said, "well, if he can't win a race, at least he can have the pole."

Jimmie Johnson

I checked my old posts at the beginning of the season and I predicted JJ for the championship. I hope I don't have some special powers I don't know about and caused this to happen.

It is important to note though, that it's by no means a shoo-in. He could still lose. And that would please me. But really, I've said it several times and I still feel the same way. I don't hate Johnson like I used to. I still hate Chad Knaus though and as long as he and Johnson are a team, Johnson is out of luck.

jd58 - you can wish and hope and plot and plan all you want, but you won't find me in the Jeff Gordon camp anytime soon, the whiny runt.

 

[Iwant2Btickled]

Amen to that LK! I also don't want JJ to win this year.. he's so freaking obnoxious. If Mark is out, then I too must root for Junior or Harvick. I just haven't really been watching much this year..it makes me sick to my stomach to see Kurt Busch driving Rusty's car!!! I wish they would have changed it somehow, made it a little different. That will always be Rusty's car in my eyes.. and that obnoxious little rodent is driving it. yuck. If it wasn't for JR, Kahne and Sadler, I wouldn't watch at all.

RW #2 forever...

 

[jd58]

good luck to everyone in the race on sunday.

 

[isabeau]

Well Jimmy is the new Nextel Nascar Champion for 2006..it's been a great year of nascar..how many weeks is Daytona? hehe..

 

[lk70]

No, Izzy, that thing about Jeff Gordon was a joke.

Congrats to JJ on his championship. Is it just me, or does it seem a little darker and grayer outside now that Nascar is over?

Daytona 500 is Feb 18. If only I could hibernate til then.

 

[Pokey]

It was a pretty good year for Nascar and 2007 should really be fun with the "Car of the Future" making its firts appearance at Bristol. Yea, I have to congratulate the 48 crew also, they really did some amazing things, like winning Daytonna withouth its Crewchief. So, Its only a couple of months off now and we can start making our boasts after the holidays. You are a really fun bunch to share with. I wish for you a wonderful Christmas season and may our New Year be very special for each of you!!! So, until a few weeks down the road, I think ESPN is throwing their hat into the ring this year with Fox?

 

[Mislaffsalot]

I'm ready for February. The off season for racing is so short.....but so looooong.

 

[Pokey]

I noticed while traveling this week that the 29 car has picked up Shell as a major sponsor. Not very important but been too long to not say anything about Nascar.

 

[isabeau]

i can't wait either Miss-laff-a-lot...but i'll miss Mark..sighs..

Pokey i dont' understand?

 

[slacker2114]

That's the good thing about us football fans. We have something to watch until about 2 weeks before Daytona, though I must admit I'm anticipating the next season quite a bit. Must have something to do with Pittsburgh not making the playoffs.

 

[Pokey]

Pokey i dont' understand?

Just being silly Isabeau. I drove down to Wilmington NC and everytime I stopped to get gas at a Shell station they have a big sign up saying that they are proud to be back into the Nascar scene as they are now sponsoring the number 29 (Kevin Harvick) car. The other part was I had not posted anything about Nascar so I posted that just to say anything about Nascar. Me, being silly in the wrong section, lol.


And Slacker, I agree, the bowl season and Superbowl do are very enjoyable parts of the season.

it's now 32 days and counting as of today 1-17-07

am i going to be the only JG fan on hear again this year? i feel kind of abused. anyway jr. wants part ownership in DEI and i think he should have it.
tony won the chili bowl miget race over this last weekend and jj yeley was 2nd.

my prayers go out to the families of bobby and benny!

 

[Pokey]

I concur with the prayers for those families and I understand Jr. wanting a part of the ownership, but either way, he might want to drive for a different group anyway. Be better for him and DEI, I think. And, I am not a jg fan either. 😱 But sure glad you are on here and talking.

 

[Mislaffsalot]

My goodness, I hope we don't lose anyone else in the business before the official start of the season. It's sad to lose folks you see every weekend on tv. They become like family...especially in Nascar racing where everyone really is like family. My heart goes out to their loved ones. They will be missed.

But bring on Daytona!
