I will be cheering for all of Roush Racing drivers, mainly Biffle. I've started to follow the races as Roush Industries is one of my biggest customers and need to know this stuff. Keep an eye out for 3M's #16 in 6 cup races this year and all Busch Series races.
Daytona 500

Formula One?
I can agree that rally is intersting to watvh but you must be kidding about F1. Formula 1 is the MOST boring sport to watch. There are no cahllenges and, therefore, no passing. It's just a bunch of prima donnas lifting their noses in the air and complaining about the track. I've been to a F1 race and the only relief was watching the Brazilians spend inordinate amounts of money to get drunk in the stands. Other than that --- pfffffft.
World Rally is different. It truly is amazing what those drivers can do; no excuses. I saw one race where the fog was so thick that the headlights became a problem due to reflected glare so the driver turned off his headlights -- effectively closing his eyes -- and drove solely on his navigator's notes. They had a tv camera in the car so it was no joke. You could see nothing but white outside the window and the driver had the pedal to the metal all the time. Amazing!
NASCAR isn't that bad as you can read the paper or a book while listening. When something interesting happens, you can watch the replay.

I want to thank the guys at Dupont, Chevy, Hendrick Racing, NASCAR, CBS, Daytona Motor Speedway, my mama, the good Lord, Frito Lay, Home Depot, Lowes, UPS, Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart...
Can't wait for baseball and football players uniforms to look like the outfield fence at Sec Taylor.... I'll get a good chuckle out of the first NFL player who tries to add lib and insert a promotional reference to his sponsor... That will be high comedy!!

I don’t care for NASCAR because it has sucked out just about all of the money for sponsorships out side of any other forms of racing.
I also get a huge laugh when they say these guys are world class athletes. I watch Daytona just because it is DAYTONA, other than that it a huge snooze fest.
How the hell can someone that is 70 years old still be considered somewhat competitive? And even remotely try to qualify??????
Nothing against the dude, but in any other form of racing he would not even make it into the paddock.
Oh yeah, I’ve raced at Daytona. Be back in 3 weeks Trap speed at 183MPH on two wheels. NASCAR SUCKS. I guarantee you I could switch place with any nascar dude and I could turn times within a second of their times; while they would not even be able to qualify on a motorcycle. FACT

I'm getting a good laugh at some of these post. I'm not going to argue the athletics, I'm not going to argue the skill, etc. But what I find funny is people insist on coming into this thread and start bashing things that haven't even been discussed by people that have been posting things they like about NASCAR.
Ok, it's not for everyone, that's fine. Different strokes for different folks. But why come in and start bashing something that fellow CF members enjoy??

Ok, now that I'm off my soap box - the Busch brothers are looking really strong so far. It looks like Kurt may be the car to beat today. That and we haven't really seen a significant caution yet, so far they've all stayed very clean.
While I would love to see Jr. find a way to win he just hasn't look like the force that he has in the past years.
Should be fun to see who can dial in their cars for the last half of the race.

Well, forget that last post about no major cautions.
EDIT: only really 2 in the crash. But they were running 1st and 2nd.

HA! Leave it to Jr fans to give me my first negative rep!
whatever, Nascar fans are too easy to rileup ... go **** trickle!

Well speaking of Jr he just picked up a ton of spots coming off pit road after that last caution.
I must admit, even though I'm not a big Martin fan, I sure wouldn't mind seeing him win it. He's always been one of the good guys.
Talkin about a hillbilly. Never seen anyone tuck a hooded sweatshirt into pants before. WTF!
Come on guys. Let's not get this thing closed due to personal attacks.
Aren't we all Clone fans! Isn't that enough!
If you don't like NASCAR, don't bother posting in a NASCAR thread that is full of fans.

It was before the mizzou game, and those are snowpants, I was just getting my coat on when CY came over.
