NASCAR THREAD

[The Dude]

especially if it ended up wrecking both of them and knocked both of them out of the Chase (which would be hilarious).

I would fall out laughing. I'm sure Danica (even though being 3/4 a lap behind) would get caught up in the wreck.

Totally random question, but is my avatar showing up?

 

[The Dude]

Ya I see it.

Race in Phoenix, started after a long rain delay, but has now been called. Dale Jr. gets the win.

The final 4 going to Homestead to compete for the title:

1. Jeff Gordon
2. Kevin Harvick
3. Kyle Busch
4. Martin Truex Jr.

Hope to see either Truex or Gordon win the Championship.

 

[The Dude]

Jr finally wins and Myles is MIA.

Agree, of course pulling for Gordon, but Truex would be a great story too.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Any Cup champion predictions? I say it's either Gordon or Harvick.

 

[The Dude]

Harvick will be hard to beat. Busch and Truex should run well. I optimistic because Gordon dominated most of race last year until last pit stops and dominated and won the race the year before that. Honestly anyone could win.
If Harvick lost it because of his pit crew, the meltdown would be of epic measure.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Forecast for Homestead on Sunday doesn't look good, 70% of rain.

 

[The Dude]

Gordon starting P5

 

[The Dude]

Rain still looks to be a factor. Looks like % falls off after 3. Might be a late PM start. I better get a good nap at church tomorrow

 

[Bama Ravens]

Looks like rain could push through quickly, unless more forms behind this current band.

I really hope Gordon wins this thing today. I thought it was cool to see Harvick get his picture made with Gordon's car.

 

[Bama Ravens]

I thought Gordon would actually have a chance to win this thing, but it doesn't look likely right now. I guess I forgot that Alan Gustavson was his crew chief.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Right now it looks to be between Kyle Busch and Harvick. I hope Harvick doesn't win it.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Kyle Busch wins the race and the Sprint Cup Series Championship. Gordon will finish 3rd in points.

 

[The Dude]

Thought Jeff may have shot. He made a great move on last restart, just too far back. Congrats to Kyle. Been through a lot and glad to see him instead of Harvick.

I really thought Larson was gonna win before the caution. That would have been cool. I like him.

Hmm, Toyota won.

I remember years ago when Toyota was getting into NASCAR, fans were pissed. Saying it was an American sport...ironically the Toyota Camry was the only car being made in America. Both Ford and Chevrolet were made outside of 'Merica.

 

[The Dude]

I actually felt that Toyota chiming to NASCAR was a good thing. Ford Chevy & Dodge were all financially struggling at the time and I wasn't sure how much longer they may be in business. Toyota brought options. Luckily all 3 survived although Dodge left the sport. I wish Dodge would come back and wouldn't mind some other brands coming in as well. I've always heard rumors of Honda having an interest but nothing more than a rumor.

48 Days until the Great American Race!

Wow, can't believe it's that close.

Can't worry about that yet, gotta beat Clemson and win an NC first.
