Dale Earnhardt Jr. 2014 Sprint Unlimited Champion.

They've gone too far when the fan vote decides the winner.

 

[Johali]

The odds are kinda screwy with only 17 entries.

Yeah, Danica should be 5-1.

 

[Johali]

Damn tootin.

 

[FenderBumper]

Damn tootin.

lol

Just a reminder, did you send her flowers for V-day? There's still hope, ya' know.

 

[Kyle18fan]

Kyle Busch show coming to a tv screen near you

 

[Tennessee Racing]

I wanted to send Danica flowers but again that damn restraining order. Just because she found me hiding in her closet I'm a danger to her according to the judge.

That girl is way too sensitive.

No the shootout I believe.

Finally.... this is the thread I've been waiting for! Ready to go racin!

 

[#17D500winner]

I heard on CNN this morning that Florida was the only state without snow. Time to go racin'.

 

[3wideinturn1]

I was just remembering that great save by Kyle last year, what an unbelievable piece of driving that was. Hoping this years Unlimited will be just as exciting. I'm ready for some racing!!!

I think that was the year before..

 

[3wideinturn1]

You're right, my memory is hazy at best haha. I'm just so jacked up for some racing, I can't wait. My flight to Daytona is on Monday!

That was the 2012 Bud shootout

and it was an awesome display of just how much talent Kyle Busch has

 

[Kyle18fan]

FIRE THEM UP NOW OR HE IS DONE FOR !!!

I heard on CNN this morning that Florida was the only state without snow. Time to go racin'.

I woke up this morning in a snow storm in Bloomington Illinois, but now i'm at the shop in Chicago, and i can't wait until i'm on the plane back to California in the morning, and then i can say that the first race of my season is officially over.

Chicago sucks this time of year, or so I've heard.

It's always snowing, raining, or hot and humid. Right now it is just cold, but i think it is suppose to snow tomorrow. Hopefully i'm out of here before it starts.

Good luck. You don't want to be stuck sleeping in that airport.

 

[DUN24]

Oh my God. Is this their new idea of the ticker? The whole right side of the screen?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Practice on now on FS1.

You must be new to FS1. Bless your heart.

I know how they do 'sportscenter', but this is a racing telecast. Give me back the scrolling on the top. This is like the heads up display in the 90's but bigger, slower, and worse.


Officially my first gripe of the year.

Completely agree. It's an eyesore even on their studio shows.

 

[Bucky Badger]

I hate the names on the right side of the screen, would rather have a scroll at the top

 

[DUN24]

I know it's practice so speeds are a little irrelevant... But how about some lap times fs1?

Agree!!!, That would take up half the screen the way they are doing it

 

[DUN24]

These things shouldn't shock me anymore. It's like the people running the show have never watched a race. I'm sure it's temporary.

 

[Clutch]

Kurt leading practice.
Man I'm going to go out on a limb and make a bold prediction that Kurt will win the 2014 Cup Championship!

Oh, wait, I already did.
