Thread: Time for Daytona!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tweet

Best part of that finish is Harvick pulls a lame burnout and the cheby dies!!! ROFL!!

With only 19 cars starting the race and a dozen around at the end, kind of hard to see what the new car will really be like. The driver's have a lot of learning to do on the aero peculiarities of the new car, that's for sure!!!!! I would expect the intensity to go up a level or three on Thursday for the Duels!!!

I'm thinking I'll discount the Daytona and Talladega races.. (again)..

I'm hopeful for the 1 & 1/2 milers. Where the air can be a little less dependant. I've got a bad feeling about the Big Show, 43 of them racing for the same turf... instead of losing 7 at a time, who knows how many will crash at once?

Sorry for repeating this again but, the best racing at Daytona / Talladega (imo) was the 2 car pairings. Lots of passing the whole race through and just about any combo could be a winner. Sadly, many didn't agree and prefer two lane ride along for 498 laps. sigh..

Most all of the restrictor plate races have the cars equalized to the point that there's more luck involved with the finish than anything else. All it takes is one knucklehead to tangle things up and it can take out half the field. Plate racing is not fan friendly, and the teams don't like it either.

Wow!! I was over at a friend's house helping him this afternoon....Got home and turned on SPEED to find out that Danica Patrick did win the pole for the 500!!!! That Stewart-Haas team is just full of surprises, huh????

I'm glad she pulled it off, she beat her boss/owner to boot!

Roger, the cars have been equalized and re-equalized, it's the same old story. The drivers don't like it and the fans don't like it. I'd prefer they take off all the spoilers, give'em a skinny tire and let's see who is the real driver(s)..

I did like that I knew what kind of car was in the lead by looking at the grill, that' some progress. There was also some good drag racing last night.

NASCAR modifides on now (Speed), then the K&N East series at the 4/10 mile track at Daytona. Kyle Larson won last night (controversial), and is in both races tonight!!!! Hmmmmm, paybacks anyone????

Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch won the Duel's yesterday, good weekend for Harvick so far!!!! Trucks run tonight, sure to be wild as it always is when the trucks run a Superspeedway!!!!

Just found this..

Youch.........

Shame the fans got hurt..

"New" car, same old results, ride in a line all day and just wait for the big one!

This morning they announced that none of the spectators injured have any "life threatening" problems... Hate to see anyone get hurt at a race, but then it's not exactly a game of tiddly winks, either. I suppose there will be a whole rash of "experts" who will play would of, could of, should of about the way the catch fences are built. Seems every sport is doomed to contend with Monday morning quarterbacks.......

Seems to be the way of the world.................yet again. More people have/will die this year in the US as a result of jerk face idiots texting from behind the wheel of their daily driver than will from racing accidents. But what gets the big headlines?

Glad no serious problems for those fans, and NASCAR will improve fences yet again based on what they learn from this incident..............it's called progress.

Now................let's get this race goin'!!

back in the day there was a 6x6 square wire fence between the fans and the trach where I raced Wasn't any good for keeping clay out of your beer or popcorn

Hopefully the comintators will get off Denica's back I thought she ran a clean race.
