hala lu ya...we have a race thread.

Harvick did a nice job there. This new car has completely changed how they have to work the air.

He said winning the 500's defined his career. That's complete truth. Lol I see nothing wrong with saying that. I don't think he was bragging, just mentioning that winning the 500 is a highlight for most drivers that win.

Jeez four wins out of a lifetime of racing ain't grounds for any kind of bragging.
The Daytona 500 is a crapshoot, at best.

I look at it like this. It might only be one race, but it's one big race. A Daytona 500 winner is something to be happy about for the rest of your life. For the rest of his life, if nothing else, he will be a Daytona 500 champion. Crap shoot or not, his name is etched in history.

Not only that, but he only brought it up to emphasize how big of a race it is to the drivers. Lol

It used to be, before the restrictor plates. Now, it's just a crapshoot.
Winning the Daytona 500 has lost all credibility. Especially when Michael Waltrip and Derricke Cope's names are etched in the NASCAR history books ;)

So Bristol has lost credibility cause Regan Smith won it? New Hampshire has lost credibility cause Joe Nemechek won it? The Championship has lost credibility since Brad Keselowski won it?
 
Yeah, not so much.
It's because one lop won four races out of 770 starts and the other lame won two out of 409 attempts ;)
At that point it becomes moot.

Nemechek won 4 in 618 starts.
Lake Speed won once in 402 starts. Guess Darlingon loses credibility too?

I'm only using your logic.
 
breatheoflife said:
Right. So Darlington, New Hampshire, and Bristol races have all lost credility. Gotcha.

Heck, Mears has 1 win in what, 350ish starts? We might as well add Charlotte to your list as well. :rolleyes:

Don't forget to add Atlanta (Jerry Nadeau), Rockingham (Johnny Benson) and Dover (Martin Truex) to Bobby's list.

No, no, no! Nadeau only started in 177 races, Benson only started in 274 races, and Truex has only started in 258 races.

So those don't count!
 
Michael Waltrip does suck and always did but I'm trying to get my head around what the criteria is for a driver who is good.

Derrike Cope also won at Dover. Is he excluded from Bobby's list of sorry ass drivers who only won at plate tracks now?

Fan since '89. Far from a rookie. You have flawed logic, and it's been proven. No reason to hate. :)

Since you're new to the forum, this is how it works... continue arguing with him. Somewhere along the line, call Carl Edwards or Kyle Busch a puss, call Bobby a dickhead and he'll fly you out to Los Angeles and buy your race tickets at Fontana and buy you some cold IPAs. :D
 
Nothing wrong with plate racing. Anyone who wins either Daytona or Talladega should be as proud...if not more than any other track..IMHO

I wouldn't call Kyle a puss. :D
 
The fact is, if Michael Waltrip and Derricke Cope can win Daytona pretty much solidifies that plate racing is a farce.
