Showdown RACE thread

So it doesn't matter what we think, then why are we even posting on a message board?

You say Blaney fans should have voted more, I say Danica fans should pick a driver who actually has some talent. Same thing.

If you could be out there but were mediocre like danica seems to be would you be out there or would you tell yourself "nah i dont deserve it?"
 
Larson shoots his mouth off all week about not wanting to win "that way" and then wins "that way." Hilarious. :XXROFL:

I'll double on that. This do nothing is in while those that were competitive will be sitting. I'd be voting for the car that will have a chance of being competitive in the race not run midpack and probably whine about she couldn't get a break or whatever.
 
Consider she had no idea how the fan vote would go, Danica was doing everything she could to race her way into the field.

Because she sucks. Her fans have been voting her into this damn thing for 5 years now and she never does anything but watch the good cars drive by her over and over again.

Enough is enough. I don't usually comment on Danica crap because her fans are unbearable. But it pisses me off when guys like Blaney who is young, exciting, a rookie and already competing with the best in the sport get screwed because someone who has literally no talent and is literally the least entertaining race car driver in the sport.

It's stupid. That's all I'll say on it.

The fans didn't vote her in two years ago.
 
I sure hope the All Star Race isn't a letdown to what I watched today. Some great battles throughout. Biffle was a bit of a yawner to me but then again, I'm not a Biffle fan. That good for nuthin', only can win on a restrictor plate track, Trevor Bayne..... Awesome move to the front on that final restart. Larson/Elliott, Elliott/Larson, & finally Larson/Elliott. Good stuff! And then Elliott is in anyway. More good stuff. Danica's in. Danica fans rejoice. Danica haters gonna hate. All's good in NASCAR Country today. Bring on tonight's race!

So, what I see is that you think Danica fans are stupid. I'm sure a lot of fans think the same way about OTHER drivers fans, too. Works both ways. But quite insulting the fans on this board.

Because we enjoy the RACING. We may not like the quirks and gimmicks, but all that matters is the racing. If voting someone in is important, then
let the fans of those drivers VOTE more. And quit the insults to Danica's fans on this forum.

The fan vote is simply a popularity contest. Congrats to her and her fans for getting the job done.

Exactly. It IS strictly a popularity contest.
 
It's been hard to be a Blaney fan since Grandpa Lou hung up the helmet after hundreds of wins. Too bad Danica took a true competitors spot. Ok. I'm done being salty. Go Chase or Larson!!!

Hella good stuff. The way Chase moved to the front that final segment was ballzy.

Pity the fools that brag they don't pay attention to the showdown and all star races.

Yeah, it is kinda funny those that profess to tune out this weekend. Most of it's BS and for those that were honest about that, well, theymissed a helluva show. Their loss.

I might have starting liking Chase a little more for his pissed offness. He goes over and kicks Larson's ass, and I will buy the first non-Toyota related shirt of my life.

I doubt he was pissed at Larson, honestly. He puts alot on his shoulders and is probably more dissapointed/frustrated in himself.

Based on what the TV broadcasters are saying this is the All Star race and all the drivers will let it all hang out and not worry about bring the car home clean. So based on that, sounds like we're in for quite the race tonight!
 
You only get paid for the last lap, here.
Anyone that says they wouldn't have driven like Larson on those last two laps, would've finished second.

Don't hold your breath on that one. His father is Bill Elliott after all.

Yup. Got no problem with that finish. That's what this race is all about. Everyone looks back fondly on those types of moves.
 
They had started the All-Star race once and it had started raining in the first lap or so......Gordon was one who crashed his car. NASCAR decided they'd let the crashed drivers bring out back up cars when the race resumed. Gordon went on to win the event in that back up car.

When did I say Danica should stop racing or taking the money that people throw at her?

I'd do the same if someone was throwing truck loads of cash at me for being mediocre to horrible at my job.
