Knockout Qualifying - Round 2

Don't worry Im good... I know to wait until the checkers falls... (see thread "Who is the #1 at Penske")

That being said... two of the last 3 times Joey won the pole he won the race.. the other was when he blew up at Chicago last season :D

I've been a Gordon fan forever, but he's always been like that. I love watching him race but cringe when he opens his mouth. Say it like it is once and a while Jeff....it'd be nice.

Yeah when it comes to NASCAR he's always praising them to no end.

At least he shows some animosity when it comes to douchebag drivers which works for me. You dont bite the hand that feeds you.
 
It would be funny if Penske dominates qualifying this year, and there is only an handful pole winners, thus, making the shoot out next year pointless

Well NASCAR wanted an F1 type qualifying session. I hope Penskee takes half the poles like them Red Bulls do in F1.

NASCAR people are a bunch of dumbasses without an ounce of originality.
 
I dont underrate him at all. He is an average driver. He has been in top equipment for going on 6 seasons and really has very little to show for it. You actually suggested that he was better than Brad Keselowski which at this point in their careers is just absurd.

Meh.. and I took my lumps for it lol.. I still think he will win at least one championship in the cup series along with a whole bunch of races. He may not be the next JJ but that doesn't mean he's not the next Mark Martin or Matt Kenseth. Its obvious anyone would doubt what he can do because of his past performance but he is clearly getting better. The numbers prove it in almost every category last year and the way he's run so far this year.

Agreed, although I think him going to Penske was a smart move, I think his career would of died if he stayed at JGR

Wins, yes, I agree, maybe not a lot, but a championship, that I dont see unless its Nationwide

I don't remember everything that allenbaba guy said about gordon being held hostage and all that but, he might be on to something. Every interview I see with him lately he really seems to go out of his way to talk about how exciting the qualifying is and how the fans probably love it. Maybe if he says it enough, we will all believe it?

Gordon is a huge fan of Indy and F1 so I bet he does find it exciting.

And that carried her through the whole year along with her sole top 10.

Everyone thought she was legit.

Legit and her Daytona 500 pole in the same sentence:XXROFL:

LOL I was thinking towards the end of qualifying that this is going to be just like Red Bull vs. Mercedes last year. RCR and its main satellite FRR have been surprisingly good in qualifying too so maybe that's who their main competition will be.

I thinking next week I'll call this thread "Knockout Qualifying - Can Penske do it again?"

"Knockout Qualifying - Round 2" was a little confusing considering they have multiple qualifying rounds these days. At first I thought you were starting a thread for each round of Vegas qualifying. lol

Why not just call it by the name of the track each week, like... Vegas Qualifying

just a thought.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Of course, I'm easily fooled.

Gordon let's his actions on the track speak for themselves. He doesn't need to run his mouth to get under another driver's skin, he simply finishes ahead of them on the track. If they're gonna talk smack, they better beat him.

Seriously..

Pre race thread - to talk everything dealing with the race before the green flag (unless sliced thinks race related topics deserve their own thread such as qualifying & race prediction threads, cuz ya know we like to talk about things over n over n over again BUT if it's in separate threads it's game on).
