The Official NASCAR Thread

Finally got my laptop. The guy who I purchased it from was nice enough to find NR2003 for me and help me get my PS3 controller working on it. Quite a fun game. (Still don't think if it would be worth the $100 price you see on eBay.) Already modded a bunch of tracks/cars into it. That turned out to be easier then I thought it would be.

LOLZ @ Danica

This is becoming hilarious.

That still wasn't entirely her fault. Someone else went in the grass and spun right infront of her. Still funny she loses her chances of a win on the first turn.

Just witnessed one of the greatest races of Nascar's modern era. It's up there with the Kurt Busch/Ricky Craven Darlington race in '03. That was just awesome. Busch, Ambrose, and Keselowski racing on ice for the last lap for the win.

Why the didn't throw out the caution amazes me. Kyle could have easily won that had there not been oil on the track. Seeing him spin on the last lap upset me a tad. Thankfully he recovered for a 7th place finish, but it could have been much better.

Apart from that, easily the best finish of the year. I was rooting for Ambrose a little because I had gotten Marcos pizza just before the race started. Really looked like Keslowski was going to win it but somehow Ambrose held him off. I had thought they were going to take each other out and the third place car (whoever that was) was gonna pass for the win. At least the better of those two cars won.

And what about Kurts tire falling off under caution earlier in the race? That was pretty funny.

Yeah That was Kyle's race to win bruther. The finish was exciting bruther but they should've thrown a caution dude. There was oil everywhere dude. I don't care what Richard Petty says bruther. Racing with oil on the track isn't the way racing is suppose to be dude. But I'm glad ambrose won bruther and kept Brad from winning dude. I can't stand the announcers talking about him like he's Dale Earnhardt or someone bruther.

I have the same issue with Dale Jr. When will they realize he is not the same driver his father was?

Yeah, it completely wasn't her fault, but it's amusing that she wrecks in pretty much every race, her fault or not.

I'm indifferent about the whole 'why didn't they throw a caution with oil on the track' debate It would have been a great finish either way it happened since it would have been a green-white-checkered finish if they did throw the caution and we all remember last year's crazy finish. Someone or somebody was bound to get burned in either situation. Busch and Gordon just happened to be the 2 the guys that got screwed without the caution, if it went to a G-W-C, it would have been someone else that got spun out and their day ruined because of the caution and everybody being bunched up again and racing like idiots to get every spot that they can get.

I liked it a little better without the caution (tell me really, was that not awesome watching Ambrose and Brad that final lap? They were totally dirt tracking it and that was just plain skill how both drivers managed not to wreck themselves or each other. I never actually shouted at my TV in enjoyment to a Nascar race in a long time, but I did there). Sucks for Kyle, sucks for Gordon, sucks for Earnhardt I guess too, those were the only 3 guys that were bummed out about no caution and having to race on oil because their day was ruined because of it, but everybody else had a huge smile on their face saying stuff like "that was the way racing should be", even Brad said that who lost, Ambrose did, and I think Bowyer did too. I think it was better happening like it did rather than someone diving into turn 1 on the restart, lose their brakes/tire hopping or whatever and taking out everybody in front of him and possibly even the leaders.

HARD wreck for Martin. Good to see he and no pit crew members are injured.

[nascarfan19]

Wow. That was vicious.

[Mega-Tallica]

Montoya is sure not making any friends today it seems.

And Gordon has absolutely no reason to be so pissed at Junior for that pass. It's called being in the way and getting a run in the corner, Jeff.

[nascargo19]

After Johnsons engine blew up with 5 to go, the race was pretty good. I think I was happy with the entire top 10. If only Kyle was part of that top 10.

Good race for my home track
