This. "You're just mad he dared touch the Golden Child!!!!!" No, he's a hack idiot. Period. All I heard was he was so talented and had to overcome picking watermelons as a youth (ignoring that the fact his family owned that large a farm and business meant they were loaded), blah blah blah. Every win was luck (Dega right place right time when all hell broke loose) or just being an insane bull in china shop (flat dumping leader at COTA). There, I said it.

Hack. Sure he didn’t mean to do it. He never means to do it. He’ll flash that stupid smile with that pre puberty beard with those beady stupid eyes. F*ck that dude.

It's ok 5 gang, having the best car usually only gets you an 8th place finish and maybe a pit road interview if the time slot allows for it - which it won't.
 
I took a day off for this! And my pick Em driver for the day is out to lunch.

He finished 2nd at Dover last year, didn't he?

Sure. I don’t even know what I had for dinner last night. I just pick him every year for the Bristol dirt race. Maybe I should broaden my horizons

If I was as old as I am now, as I was back then, I’m sure I have the same opinion on him. But I wasn’t even 10 years old yet when he died. As a kid I ate that stuff up.

I got into NASCAR in the mid 80s when he was at his worst as far as being "the Intimidator" and all that crap. HATED him. The whole posthumous PR image of being so awesome and charitable is 180 away from people I personally know who had to work with and for him, as well as reading more stories like how he treated Mark Martin in that presser or Dale Jr talk about how he treated them on his podcast... But if I say these things aloud then I'll be stoned in the streets so I try not to. Except posting it here of course.

I'm irritated as hell about the 5.

The only saving grace here is that no one else is even remotely close to the 5 car in terms of pace this year.

Has to be the early season favorite for the Phoenix one off.

That heart like a truck song for the Dodge truck commercial is a sorry rip off of this song
 
"I have a HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT like a truck."

Same attitude. And people loved him. Not me. i was an Awesome Bill/Mark Martin/Alan Kulwicki fan. Cause them Fords were kicking the Chevy's ass.

You sound like my family growing up. My dad was an engineer at the time and that made him love Kulwicki. Then he moved on to Martin when Kulwicki passed away. Chase driving for Chevy's flagship has never felt right to me, but Bill helping Dodge get into the sport helped with the whole Ford thing for me. Now I don't really care about manufacturers as much because I pretty much hate all domestic cars.

I was also 10 when he died. But I've done my homework.


With all due respect, Dale seemed like a ****** man.

Drove dirty, not wreckless, but dirty. Dirtier than Ross. He was a negligent father.


Also. Outting Mark Martin for his alcohol abuse is just the behavior of a ****** ****** human being.

Can't look past that.

That commercial makes me legit angry every time it comes on. Like punch-babies-in-the-face angry...

When you listen to that commercial and then the Terri Clark song, it’s like “here copy my homework but change some things around to not make it obvious.”

Agreed. Hell of a racecar driver, but a very poor quality man

Between that super annoying Ram commercial and the dumb "I need to try it first" Coke nonsense, I've started muting the volume every commercial break, every race this year. Never thought I would long for the days of the Symbicort old guy playing wolf and pigs. "Like you do sometimes grandpa?"

I been driving the same S-10 since 1999. It's my only vehicle. I just felt like NASCAR/GM had their thumb on the scale back then. Rooted for the UnderBird.
