NASCAR 2010 - Let the Racin Begin

Sscottfitz · 02-11-2010, 08:11 PM

Any other NASCAR fans in the forum? I'm new to the "Z Land", but have been a NASCAR fan for many years (probably something in my redneck DNA) -- hoping the #5 can win some more races in 2010.

HELL YES

There are a bunch of us here (ignore the haters).

The qualifying races today were real good... those cars were wicked loose.

In our area Tony (2theextreme) and Lance (tooohip) are both fans. Maybe we can get tickets for one of the Richmond races and go as a group.

Definitely..

#99 is due... hopefully a year full of backflips.. that is if he can stop playing frisbee and breaking feet..

I live here in the heart of NASCAR country and have tried to get into it, but I find myself getting board after watching a few laps. It's something about racing in a circle I guess. I much prefer road racing. And I know that NASCAR has a couple of road course races. They are more intersting to watch.

Perhaps if I was to attend a NASCAR race in person I would get into it more. I've never been to one.

I agree if you go to the race in person, it is an entirely different experience -- and personally, I'd recommend a short track (Richmond, Bristol, or Martinsville) are my favorites.

As for watching on TV, I subscribe to the Trackpass services which provide near real time timing & scoring as well as the ability to listen to the drivers & crew -- for me it makes TV viewing much more interesting.

Now its time for the real season to begin -- we'll see who can find that balance of handling and & speed -- looks like at least half the Hendrick stable are picking up where they left off last year -- 24 wiil probably be OK, but seems like the #88 is still struggling based on his practice times...

Go Daddy!!! (the old weathered guy)

m4a1mustang · 02-21-2010, 11:23 AM

Yesssss! I am butt cised for the EGR front row.

It's awesome to see Jamie Mac back at Ganassi and this time they actually have good cars. Oh, and I fully expect JPM to win a few this year.

Who are your favs? I am a 24/42 fan. The GF is all about the 48.

Yep. I started watching back in 1994 when Jeff started racing in the Cup series. I have been a fan ever since. I'm 24 now.

And I always liked Montoya back in CART/IRL/F1, so I was ecstatic when he came over to Cup.

Vegasboricua · 02-21-2010, 03:33 PM

Did you see the last pit? That crew member jumping off the hood of one of the cars while it was pulling out lol

Sscottfitz · 02-21-2010, 03:47 PM

I'm a hopeless Mark Martin fan -- same age and we grew up about 50 miles from each other. (Mark is from Batesville, I'm from Mountain Home).

I also like most of the JR stable -- I'd like to see Carl have a better year this year, but I also like the Biff & Matt.

Right now, it looks like Mark has a top 5 car, maybe a top 3 -- I think the Childress cars are waiting to the end to show their stuff.....

m4a1mustang · 02-21-2010, 04:23 PM

Damnit... there went JPM's engine.

Sscottfitz · 02-21-2010, 05:02 PM

I think there are several engines trying to give up the ghost today....

m4a1mustang · 02-21-2010, 05:19 PM

Looks like the rain is holding off and we'll probably get all the laps in. They are hauling the mail... 208 into turn 1 for the 48 car.

RCR is definitely back. They were fast today... all three of their cars.

Sscottfitz · 02-21-2010, 05:35 PM

Looks like we are going to get this race in -- I think it will turn into a race between Childress & Hendrick.......
