Gonna be sad to not see any Dodges running the track after last years championship. Hopefully the Gen 6 cars dont suck as much as the CoT did.

Maybe NASCAR can get their head out of their rear and start giving fans a race they want.

I know a lot of people dont like Keselowski but I think he says some good things in this aritcle.

Brad Keselowski shares vision for NASCAR's future

One thing I have to say I hate about watching the 500 is looking at the girls in bikinis and the guys drinking beer in tank tops, and I have to look out my window and see 5in of snow.

Ok let me make it clearer just in case, It warm at dayton beach with beer and scantily clad women but I have to sit in a snow drift to watch the race is what I think stinks. LOL.

Rofl, NASCAR. However, it's a great excuse for drinking, so sign me up.

Well that took longer than I expected....

kids, drinking games are fun, but if you take a drink every time they say Danica Patrick's name, you'll be dead before the green-white checkers.

Try just while she's on the track, that should be less than 100 laps.

Did everybody join michaelrr1's fantasy picks group?

all right, gotta go workout quick and be back in time for the start!

NASCAR is exciting. I especially like it when the cars drive around.

I don't get all of the ultra conservative fans in the red states digging watching cars that only turn left. Cars designed to turn left, tires designed to turn left and drivers trained to turn left. Just seems a recipe for inner turmoil!

:spinny:

I love BB but my dad cant understand it or stand to watch it, so to each his own. How about a nice period of hockey?

Plus you dont have to be born with your ability or height you just have to love racing (and have your parent fund you into racing I guess) to be a driver. Then hillbillies are a lot like me too, so I understand where they come from.

Nascar is so messed up they have their biggest race of the year first

Sooooooo, just BB and FB?

Not even FB so much. I drool over College Basketball, and pass the remaining time with baseball.
