Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

I walked by the mirror and was confused because this is what I saw, :confused:, then it dawned on me that I've been reading too many posts on here too often. :)

I keep losing track on this. I thought we were working on fixing aero and plate racing and now we're on to fixing the pit stop procedures? It's tough keeping up. :D

We probably need a dedicated thread where we can identify and fix all of the problems associated with NASCAR. Wait a second. We already do. It's all of the threads that are below this one. ;)

Boy you read a lot into my post.

I'm simply saying that almost all of the threads on here recently have turned into nothing more than a bitch about NASCAR Thread. Doesn't anyone out there enjoy this sport any more?

Yes, yes I did. :D

People are engaged and putting out ideas, wishes and want's to make things even better. That's not a bad thing, IMO.

I freakin' love nascar. That may not come thru if you read too much into my posts.

I agree with Fender, I love stock car racing as well, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvements.

Well I may not agree with you on The Podium, but so far you've been spot on when it comes to Stock Car racing. :cheers:

lol The podium is what it is, a play ground. Even I didn't agree with half the sheet I posted there. Just :dual9mm:back.

Besides, those episodes were long ago and far away. :cool:
 


Race drivers drive to the checkered flag on the track. Over at Hendrick Motorsports technicians' race to build NASCAR engines.

This year Robert Marock and Jay Wiles beat 11 other teams to win the 12th annual Randy Dorton Hendrick Engine Builder Showdown. The late Randy Dorton was Hendrick Motorsports' master engine builder until he lost his life in a plane crash nine years ago on his way to a NASCAR race in Martinsville.
