It's Gonna Be A Looooong Week!!

[robbybee]

Based upon what I have seen over the course of the past few days on this forum, I have come to the conclusion that the race at Texas Motor Speedway cannot get here soon enough!!

That's not to say that the insults, back-biting, mockery, challenges, discussions, debates, etc. haven't been entertaining. On the contrary, it's been SWELL!

But still,

It's gonna be a long-ass week, I think...

 

[FenderBumper]

It just seems long because it's TWO weeks between races.

I hope it lives up to the wait.

Texas sucks! Boring parade with 3 laps of action, IF we're lucky. Here we go boys................

I'm not biting but I bet you won't have to wait too long.

You really need to start pulling your weight around here.

I will say this though..... That was the site of my drivers first win in Cup. I sure wouldn't mind seeing it be his next victory in a little more than a week.

All the cookie cutter 1.5 mile tracks suck, and Smith should be shot for what he did to Atlanta.

It is a shame. Atlanta is the only one of those 1.5ers that puts on a good show more often that not. Only problem is, people started not to support it like they once did. That kind of stuff pretty much seals the fate of these venues that have gone away.

 

[robbybee]

Many of the 1.5 mile tracks are quite similar, no doubt. It would be hard to tell sometimes, which track is hosting a race without the landmarks. But some of them have some individuality too.

I happen to like the track in Denton, TX - except for the fact that it was built in a Dry County (why those even exist in 2012 is beyond me). I love the transition from the front stretch into Turn One - and there have been some very good races there!

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

I agree, it's gonna be a long wait on here. I don't get excited about 1.5 mile tracks either. It seems we race the same place over and over again. That's why I look forward to Martinsville, Bristol, the road courses, Darlington. The unique tracks.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

I think I am looking forward more to the Truck race @ Rockingham next week more so than the Cup race in Texas. I hope they are able to pack in those fans down there. Oh, and Andy.

That's right I forgot about this, we're going back to the Rock!!!

I have heard that some just became tired of the terrible traffic in the area. It takes a ridiculously long time to drive the relatively short distance between north Atlanta and the track.

Depends on how you get to the track. The back roads to the west and south move much faster.

Unfortunately, I had to back out of Rockingham. There's way too much going on next weekend and nobody else available to cover the events. I'm supposed to have the weekend of Richmond off but I'm expecting that will all change as well.

So you know about back roads at AMS

Wait, are you going to be one of those people who ranted about a return to the Rock, only to back out and not support the race? Weren't you predicting this is how it would go?

Call in sick.

Is your boss a woman Andy?

 

[Joniki]

And I can't even find any short track action within a days drive of me.

Not that simple. I can't skip out on next Sunday's events. That's how the news business works.

WTH Andy you been calling everybody else out to "SHOW UP".Now you NOT.

I showed up for an ARCA race and a UARA race at Rockingham. If I could make it, I would be there.

 

[Thegroundpounder99]

I feel for you on that. I'll get my racing fix Saturday luckily.

Yea,yea,excuses,excuses A true fan would find a way to make it.

[JimmieGordon2448]

There is a Nationwide race Friday.

Still too cold for anything in WNY.

Since there is no Cup race this weekend I want to encourage everyone one to attend a female gravy rassling tournament.

Respect the athletes, respect the art.

I will! I do!

Tragic story, that...

 

[FenderBumper]

The brown Gravy makes it look like a sharting contest gone horribly wrong.

I just got back from my local dirt track where the racing was incredible...you know not being a true race fan and all.

Aren't you near Baltimore and isn't it still cold there.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Yes, closer to DC than Baltimore. The weather's been really nice. It was 50 degrees tonight, and no rain which is racing weather.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I didn't get to see the Nascar race last weekend because we were racing in Las Vegas, and I won't get to see the race next weekend either because we will be racing in Charlotte. But I left Vegas on Tues and I'm going to stop in Mooresville NC and hook up with our crew chief and go to a few of the Nascar shops with him. He machines a lot of special tools for a lot of the teams, so he knows everyone and it is always fun to go in to all the shops with him. This time should be extra cool because all the teams will still be at the shop and not out on the road. We can't park and setup for the Charlotte race until Wed, so I can't think of a better way to kill some time.

Lmao. That's great!

Yep. Texas is the worst track on the schedule. Horrible bore, there's a reason Gossage has to use gimmicks to sell tickets. If the racing was good enough... then again, it seems the fans care more about the gimmicks and facilities than the quality of racing because we keep getting stuck with **** tracks like Texas. I wish I had time to make it to VMS in between my marathon weekend.

Man did Andy hack your account.

I didn't hack anything. The racing at Texas sucks ass.

 

[Greg]

Yeah, but some them female gravy rasslers are rassling in white gravy, and it is more like a White ****mas thing imo.

Sounds like a dream day for every Nascar fan. Have a good one Nitro and take some pictures.

Texas isn't that bad, I don't believe it should be the first night race though. Kansas is my most hated track or Chicagoland.
