His bit on not being able to understand Sterling Marlin was hilarious. :lol:
I agree, he was a riot. I hope he does well tonight. I'll be perched infront of my set watching. It's a good tune up for the Busch and Cup races this weekend.Originally posted by 97forever@Apr 2 2004, 06:58 PM
Man, I was impressed with Helio Castroneves on trackside...that guy is a riot! I almost hope he kicks a little stock car racing butt in the IROC race.
They can pit without the lap down penalty if they have damage.
It's bad when the race for 5th place is the best part of the race.
Thats Texas for you, follow the leader, no passing, boring cookie cutter.Originally posted by DE_Wrangler_2@Apr 2 2004, 10:27 PM
That's IROC for ya........but it was a race!!
Wanna bet next race at Richmond winds up about the same? I say it's IROC.........track don't make much difference. Glad the NASCAR guys didn't run away with it.........but, it's all pretty much the same. No one can pass, and everyone want's the same line. It's the set ups on the cars.............every setup is the same, hp is the same, aero is the same. It's supposed to be about the drivers..........but then stock car drivers have an edge. The cars are more or less stock cars. I've been to Texas to 4 Cup races and every race was so boring I could hardly stay awake. I say race IROC on road courses and plate tracks and you have a great race. I have seen about a 1/2 dozen IROC races at Talladega and that was some great racing.Originally posted by DE_Wrangler_2@Apr 2 2004, 10:40 PM
Texas is not your "typical" cookie cutter..............it is rivaling Atlanta for the fastest track on the circuit. Guess that don't matter.....it's a 1 1/2 miler and therefore it is a cookie cutter and, of course, cookie cutters offer no competitive racing. We all know that!!
