Daytona cup race chit-chat.

Out of respect for the sanctity of the NASCAR forums, I'm going to create a race thread in chit-chat each week for the more relaxed crowd.

Have some fun during those boring laps.

Is there an apple cart which you don't try to upset? :D

I don't see why we need two seperate threads for each race. Why can't we talk about racing and be silly in the same thread like it has been?

TRL was getting buried with complaints about people going off topic in the nascar forums. Since the race day threads seem to be the worst, I thought this would save her some grief. Not many others agreed, so I guess it's back to the nascar forum until things blow up again.
 
Guess I will be posting here about the invocation, national anthem Etc babes. .Maybe we need a TNT sucks, and I hate life button. That way a person can be miserable by just hitting a counter without having to torture the rest of civilization with their misery.
 
So much for the best car(s) winning the race but that's the chance they all take with plate races. Congratulations to the #14 team. They may just be the team to beat after all is said and done.

Got to also give credit to the #16 and #17 for not hanging out at the back until the end, points racing and proving that the Roush/Yates engine is best out there. Way to put on a show, guys.:cheers:

Kenseth and Biffle were definately the class of the field and wasted no time going back to the front after the pit stops shuffled them back. Sucks that Greg didn't get the finish he deserved with the big wreck on the last lap. I think you're right about Stewart too, 3 wins and this is the time of year he really gets started.
 
Tony once again proved how talented he is. What an awesome win against the odds.
 
Man, would I ever like to have a chit-chat with Biffle so I could suggest what he do the next time that clown Harvick shoves his ugly mug in through his window

Greg Biffle climbed from his car and took a couple steps toward the door of his Roush Fenway Racing team's transporter.
He turned back and looked up at the Daytona International Speedway scoring pylon. The No. 16, which had a chance to be on top just minutes earlier, was instead nowhere to be found.
Biffle gritted his teeth.
"Damn it," he said quietly.
After watching the last lap of Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 four times in the transporter lounge, the 21st-place Biffle emerged with little ammunition with which he could defend himself from those who blamed him for causing a big wreck in the final turn.
"It looks like it's mostly my fault," he said.
Here's what happened, according to Biffle:
• Biffle was shoving teammate Matt Kenseth, and the duo suddenly caught eventual race winner Tony Stewart. Kenseth went up the track to get past Stewart, and that broke the tandem's momentum.
"I had to quit pushing (Kenseth) because I'd turn him, and I couldn't move up because (Kasey Kahne) was outside of me," Biffle said.
• Right at that moment, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Joey Logano shoved Kevin Harvick, who somehow shot down into the bottom hole. Biffle didn't anticipate Harvick's move and wasn't aware the No. 29 car was there when he came down the track.
"You look at the replay, he's sideways down on the apron, comes back up, and I don't know how he got in there, but he did," Biffle said. "I just never thought he'd be there."
Harvick – who finished 23rd – was none too pleased with Biffle after the race. The Richard Childress Racing driver walked to the No. 16 car, leaned into the window and asked Biffle what the deal was.
"He came over and was like, 'What happened, man? I was clear up to your door!'" Biffle said. "By the time we made contact, he was – but he wasn't when I started coming down. When I started coming down, he was just barely in there."
It was simply a split-second decision gone wrong, Biffle said, albeit a costly one for many drivers.
"That's what it's like going for it on the last lap," he said. "It sucks we all end up wrecked."

Against the odds? It was about 40 against 2. LOL

Huh? Tony started 42, made his way toward the front, got caught half a lap down and out of the draft. Made his way to the front and was going for the win when he lost his tandem partner. Tony had to catch and do battle with the most dominate tandem of the race, and somehow he pulled it off.

Huh? You don't think the field was out to stop the #16 &#17?

It's already been told how it happened. Kahne with the help of a caution flag that saved Stewart and few others from going a lap down. But it's not like Biffle didn't start at the rear with 30 laps to go. Nor did Stewart have to content with Kyle Busch playing games whenever he got beside him.
