WE NEED to see this:

If Harvick can't win, I think I'd want to see the bug-eyed dummy win just for that. He used to be Harvick's rival, but I think different career trajectories have taken care of that.
 
That would be awesome to see if Biffle won, but I'd rather see Gordon win and then let Jr do the burnout with a #3 flag out the window.

I think it was Ken Schrader who almost won it about 8 years ago, but lost the lead on a green-white-checkered when he was the only driver to not pit for tires. You never know....
 
Never say never.
Lake Speed won a cup race at Darlington in the 80s.
 
I am so bored with the burnout thing.

i'm to the point i'd almost approve of nascar making a rule against it (really? the only rule is the car still has to pass post race inspection)!!!

can't anyone (considering the marketing gurus behind these teams) come up with something original?

I agree wholeheartedly..... It might have been ''cute'' the first time or 2 ....... but after seeing it 500 times..... it's not ''cute'' anymore...... just take the victory lap and go to victory lane..... spare us the childish antics about how your 800 horsepower car can obliterate a pair of Goodyears......


I hope Nascar DOES make a ruling against it....and I don't like more rules.... !!!!!!!

Anybody saying Biffle can't win the Southern 500, remember Chris Buescher won a Cup race less than a month ago.

He's already won there though, twice.

Its not 05 or 06 anymore, but Biffle is still a pretty damn good driver. He's one of the best at saving fuel and loves a loose race car.

Don't be surprised to see a top 10 out of him, but a win would be a tear jerker. Darlington fits his driving style perfectly.

You would think the EPA would be trying to stop it since it is illegal to burn tires.( just kidding of course) but I would like to see something different. Tony and crew climbing the fence was pretty neat but Austin Dillion swan dive through the grass was kind of nerdy.

I even felt a bit of embarrassment having watched AD's swan dive. When I look up the definition for 'awkward' in the dictionary, there's a picture of that moment in history.

Neither are as bad as Kyle's guitar smash at Nashville.
 
We don't need any great sense of creativity. A driver who simply drove around the track (Polish or regular style) and waved to the fans would be much appreciated. I say this in full recognition that I am a fan of the driver who arguably began the burnout trend.

Maybe the burnouts are for the driver, not for us. With everything else in this sport being about the marketing, I like to think this bit is still about the driver doing what he wants.

Don't a lot of people complain about how too many drivers are being too 'correct', about how they're all plain vanilla and don't show any personality?

Another that I had thought of as well although many fans seemed to have loved that one. We were present for that one. Somewhat humorous but my wife and I aren't Kurt B fans, so we thought it was kinda dumb.

It has run its course and should only be acceptable by first time winners and not to the degree that they burn up the car. Anyone can put a bumper to the wall and let out the clutch.

And anyone can climb chain link, or drive in a clockwise circle. Backflips, now they're a different story.

Regardless of the skill involved, I think a driver should celebrate winning in the fashion that pleases him, as long as it doesn't tick off the TV networks or the post-race commissars. It's not always about the fans.

Oh, and I don't like burnouts either.
