NASCAR 2011

[Danny99]

Looks like the original thread for NASCAR may have been pruned off, so here is a new one.

The first race I get to sit and watch in weeks and it's a rain delay. What luck. Speaking of rain delay, I think NASCAR drivers take the cake for saying the least during interviews.

But the finish was well worth the wait. Good for Brad K to win it with that broken and swollen ankle. I couldn't have done it. The finish of the Nationwide race on Sat PM was even better. Truly one of those DW "Have you ever?" "No, I've never" moments.

Wow what a finish to today rain delayed race at Watkins Glen
thankfully both drivers David Ragan and David Reutimann walked way from this massive crash that puts Reutimann on his roof. about 1:45 in to the video.

My "anyone but Kyle Busch" campaign isn't working out very well this week.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

^ Yeah but at least its wasn't Jimmie.

Danica officially signs on to NASCAR full-time.

Now we get to hear her whine about who's fault it was she didn't win every week. Or is it twice a week?

Well she has improved a great deal this year in the nationwide series, but if she runs into the whiny little bitch Kyle i don't know who'll whine more, Kyle or Danica

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

^ Yeah, it does seem like they all do a lot of whining.

Right idea, wrong Bush. Kyle's a whiner, but he learned from the master. His brother.

 

[arch101]

I have a feeling Danica will do better in Nationwide than she did in Indycars. And, if she can crash into Ky Busch once in awhile, her move will be worth it.

Kurt used to be a whiner, then Jimmy Spencer punched him in the head. He doesnt whine so much anymore. Maybe someone needs to punch Kyle!!!! lol

I have a feeling Harvick wants too but NA$CAR has them by the short & curlies until Dec. 31 of this year.

Kevin Harvick was a guest of The Bert Show on Atlanta's Q100 radio station Tuesday morning and dished to host Bert Weiss about his rivalry with fellow NASCAR driver Kyle Busch.

Weiss, a Harvick supporter, said he recently passed up a ridealong with Busch at Atlanta Motor Speedway out of loyalty to Harvick and wondered aloud whether he made the right call.

Harvick agreed with the decision but added, "You would have gotten to see first-hand just how much of a douchebag Kyle Busch really is."

Ya know, it kinda sucks, because growing up I was a die hard NASCAR fan, but now I don't think I've watched a full race since the year the switched fully to the newer cars. Its gotten to hoighty toighty for my tastes... and I'm a loyal Jeff Gordon fan, so that's saying something... I think the sanctioning body part of NASCAR has gotten to big for its britches, I could only imagine how today's NASCAR would react to some of the things that were part and parcel of NASCAR in the 70's, 80's and early to mid 90's

NASCAR reminds me of 43 car IROC now, except without the talent....

Yeah, there's certainly a white-breadedness to the sport now. On the other hand, Nobody's won a race by a 1 or more lap margin in a LONG time and the amount of winners this year is pretty good. I like that the Wild Card spots motivated guys to go for the win again.
They'll fix the car in 2013. The manufacturers aren't going to stand for a second cookie-cutter car.
Kudos to Jeff Gordon for win #85. Now alone at third all time (or tied with Bobby Allison, depending on your opinion)

 

[Gil T.Azell]

Way to go Smoke for wining the first two of the chase!

 

[arch101]

I think Brad K is right - more people are watching because JJ's in trouble and we may have a new champ for a change

And on a side note 3rd place driver in The Nation Wide Series (5th in Owner Points) Reed Sorenson, was let go with 5 races left in the season.

from Jayski:

Sirius NASCAR Radio's Sirius Speedway with Dave Moody has learned that Reed Sorenson is out of the Turner Motorsports #32 NASCAR Nationwide Series Chevy, effective immediately. Sorenson is currently third in Nationwide Series championship points with just five races remaining, 49 behind leader Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. He finished seventh last Saturday at Dover International Speedway. Sorenson confirmed his ouster today, saying, "I'm not sure what happened. I got a phone call this morning, but they didn't really say much. All they would say is that I'm out of the car. I haven't gotten a reason, I'm just as confused as you are." Sorenson said he is currently "beating the bushes" for a Nationwide Series ride that will allow him to complete the 2011 season. The team's sponsor, Dollar General, informed Turner Motorsports recently that it will seek other opportunities in 2012, with reliable sources saying they will end up at Joe Gibbs Racing next season as a major and associate sponsor of the team's various Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series entries. There is no immediate word on who -- if anyone -- will replace Sorenson this weekend at Kansas Speedway. Multiple calls to Turner Motorsports in search of comment were not returned.(Sirius Speedway)(10-4-2011)

UPDATE: Turner Motorsports announced that Brian Vickers will assume driving duties of the #32 Dollar General Chevy, beginning this weekend at Kansas Speedway. Vickers, the 2003 NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion, who has a long-standing relationship with the team, will also get behind the wheel for the Dollar General 300 Miles of Courage at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The driver for the remaining 2011 races will be announced at a later date. "We are continuing to evaluate our racing program as we look to the 2012 season," said team owner Steve Turner. "Brian Vickers is a proven winner at NASCAR's highest level in addition to being a driver at Turner Motorsports over the last four seasons. He has worked with Trent Owens in the past which will allow us to immediately focus on the task at hand. We are confident Brian can help assess where we are, as a company currently, and the direction we are going as we build our programs for 2012 and beyond."(Turner Motorsports)(10-4-2011)

He has (had) a chance to win the title, smart move Turner Motor Sports.

Reed is one of three non cup drivers to score a Win this year.
