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

Tweet

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..

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series | NASCAR.com

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

when they just showed the kevin harvick in camera during his wreck he was not holding the steering wheel ... is that normal during a wreck ?

When all is lost and you're just waiting for the big impact it's a good idea to let go of the steering wheel!!!! When one of the front wheels impact the wall or another car it will generate more force then you can hold with your hands and arms so something has to give.....from personal experience it's usually one or both wrists, or a number of fingers, or the hands that wind up being broken!!!!!!

just about every time.. Hanging on won't help.

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

I agree, Danica ran a respectable race. Decent finish also.

I know I'll take flack for this but I gotta say, the Fords are to heavily handicapped and can only be also rans. Chevy got the package again this year. Toyotas were doing well until their motor package began unraveling..

Biffle didn't dare get out of line, Johnson & Junior could dive to the bottom and almost pull to the front without any real help. Keselowski caught a lucky break and sat in front of Biffle and they looked good, until Johnson in the lower lane came charging to the front.

Oh well, just my opinion and venting.. lamenting.. Isn't NHRA at Phoenix??
