Just wondering cause in my mind it is way more popular than F1 and Indy car combined
Especially with Danica Patrick running running part time in the 10 SHR Chevy
There usually is some discussion during the season, but i agree, should be sticky.
I've been a big NASCAR fan for years, and I think the Danica hype has detracted from the sport. She's a commercial, just there for marketing. I don't think real nascar fans care for the distraction.
Can't wait for the season to begin. I really enjoy FOX's coverage, especially because I get it simsub free and free OTA.
Thread stuck, Title Changed. I created the other threads because I'm interested in them. This doesn't stop others from creating threads and if they're popular, they can become stickies. To be honest I don't recall a lot of NASCAR discussions in previous years.
If cautions weren't thrown willy-nilly, Nascar like 90% of motorsports would be 'follow the leader'. Personally, for non-adultered racing nothing compares to MotoGP or Moto2.
Canada's TSN [The Sports Network] announced Monday that every single NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series race, starting with the Daytona 500 a week from next Sunday (Feb. 26), will be televised this year on either TSN or TSN2.The first race to hit the airwaves, the Budweiser Shootout, will be televised this coming Saturday night at 8 p.m. on TSN2. The two qualifying races that set the field for the 500, called the Gatorade Duel at Daytona, will go to air a week from Thursday (Feb. 23) at 2 in the afternoon.
Last year they let most of the retaliation incidents go without fine or penalty... I guess it's what the Good Ol' Boys want. Most of the time no one is injured, but all it would take is one Dale Earnhardt Sr.-type incident...
Agreed. Just watching the 24 sliding and tumbling was scary enough but it is the "innocent" type altercations that could result in terrible consequences. I hope it doesn't ever happen.
Jeff Gordons's crash was totally preventable, he was beating on Kyle Bush's bumper until he crashed and Bush was lucky enough to escape. I thought Gordon could have prevented that crash, either way that was what Saturday night was about, checkers or wreckers.
They all learned alot Saturday night, the left side of the bumper is very twitchy. I think the lack of in-car communication has the biggest effect. Yes most of the incidents were caused by bumps to the left rear, but I thought the lead car was guilty of changing their position resulting the left side hit in a couple of the cases, which is going to happen as cars gets runs on the cars in front of them, and/or they think there is an opening on the outside and they start to dive for it.
I do like the fact that the cars in the middle of a 3 wide pack appear to be more stable, not darting left of right nearly as bad as they have in the past.
Based on a qualifying, it looks to me like overheating could be a factor for anyone not in a Ford. I know they are taped up to qualify but those are some pretty harsh heat cycles to be putting those engines through when you have another 500+ miles to go.
Apperently they are prepared to wait right through today and tonight to get the race in...They have to be back in charlotte to pick up there phoenix cars and head cross country by thursday
And if the rain persists Monday night? "Tuesday is an option," Helton said. "We're focused on [Monday] and [Monday] afternoon right now, but just so everyone knows, Tuesday is an option before we'd have to reconsider packing up and leaving. But [Tuesday] is an option."
It looks like Canadians are out of luck for a live Sprint Cup at the Glen broadcast.
TSN has chosen to sim-sub the PGA live and show the Cup race tape delayed on Sunday
at 11pm.
