2013 NASCAR Thread

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Prediction: Johnson pulls away easily, I switch to Indy car.

 

[photonrider]

Vickernism strikes at the end.

 

[Earth]

The Danica Patrick era has officially begun

 

[photonrider]

Looked like Vickers was being cavalier with Danica, and was slapped into place.

Sharp race, and a nice warm up for what's ahead in the season.

 

[Shoe67]

Harvick hitting Vickers at the end.

 

[ICEYOU]

God dammit!

 

[Wilbur]

Harvick is a punk! I can't stand him. Vickers didn't do anything to deserve that.

Danica actually very well today, impressive but hopefully she can improve on it and show talent.

Jimmie show is getting old and turns off me. It's why I follow trucks a lot closer.

 

[ICEYOU]

Did you hear those boos when jimmie got out of the car?!!

 

[Motorcycle54]

Danica must be conflicted; even if she overcomes any residual fears she might have for her own safety and becomes even more of a pure racer in the car, she is still wholly impotent if it came to a post race confrontation. Although ..maybe not. It wouldnt look good with all the cameras rolling to have a chick up in your face screaming that you're a douche, and just having to stand there and take it. Danica and Logano would be a fair fight though.

I think Danica has bigger balls than Joey to be honest.

What really cracked me up was Harvick trying to be her knight in shining armor at the end of the race over a bump he did on her to get by her. Big deal, it's part of Martinsville and last I check didn't you do same move on Dale Jr not too long ago there to win?

Very true...

 

[lintels123]

Breaking the usual cycle of conversation here. Glad Matt finished in the top 15 even though his car was WAY better in the first half. Also, happy to see ambrose finish in the top 10. Wonder if the 43 (Almirola?) will hold anything against Logano. I don't count on it but just a thought. Not a fan of Brad (hate me for it) so was interesting to see him get screwed over on that call in the pits. Glad Clint and Jeff raced each other like adults today. All in all, good race for me today besides Matt fallowing out the top 10.

 

[Adamgp]

Not a Danica fan at all but 12th place at Martinsville for a first timer was impressive.

Doubt she will crack the top 25 next week though.

 

[Motorcycle54]

Name a sport where a man competes against a traditionally female field of athletes? Not just that but a rookie moving up to the highest level and doing well is news all by itself (M. Marquez in the first MotoGP race of the year today, finishing on the podium, excited a lot of fans.) ABC News did a story the other day about a woman basketball star and wondered how she would do in the NBA. They asked an expert (a woman) who said bluntly, 'she could'nt compete against male NBA stars at all!'
If you watched some pre-race, you saw that they honored that black nascar driver from the 60's recently too ..another case of an 'odd ball' situation making lots of news and maybe easing some guilt from those who remember how different those times were.

Now if the driver of the 10 car was a black woman...

Cheerleading (if you want to call it a sport) I've seen it on ESPN while channel surfing.

To give Danica *gasp* credit, she finished twenty places better than I expected her to. 👍 Did anybody ever notice that when Kevin Harvick starts a confrontation, he runs away like a little 🤬 to the safety of his "pit crew" and rarely gets out of his car. If you're going to start 🤬, get out of the car and face Vickers one-on-one instead of being a little 🤬. As you can tell, I'm not a Harvick fan at all.

Not a fan of his either but he will be one of her teammates next year.

Yeah, I hate that Harvick guy.

This is exactly why I don't like him or Stewart. Harvick always seems to run his mouth about the stupid crap like Darlington which I think was more his fault than Kyle's but he didn't want to be that guy who wrecked Bowyer (he knew he would have his tail handed to him).

Another impressive guy today was Casey Mears finished 16th which is impressive, that team is putting up some solid numbers this year.

Danica doesn't need a body guard on the track, so Harvick needs to chill on all that non-sense and worry about winning.

 

[ICEYOU]

JEFF GORDONS LEGACY HE FINISHED THIRD HE WONT MAKE THE CHASE!

Well he's 12th in points and he's looking pretty good right now. Anyone notice how weird it is to see Penske outperforming the hell out of Roush even know they've been with ford for only a few weeks?

Not really, I think people overstate the importance of manufacturers, the strength of the team has more to do with performance than the manufacturer.

Okay then, Penske > Roush

 

[braunracing88]

I found this in a link I was looking at, and I tell you, I happen to agree with it. It is NASCAR-related, of course.

Politics, eww...

Politics, eww...

Did you honestly think discussion in this thread wouldn't at least have some political undertones 4 days before a race at Texas sponsored by the NRA

 

[BKGlover]

As if special interest need any help getting thier word out. They already have the politicians under thier belts, why not get the idiot peasants to blindly follow as well.

If you actively believe in something, more power to you, just don't force it on me. Again though, the bodies in immediate vicinity are like "GUNZ AN' BOOZE AN' WREKS! WOOOHOOO!" I do enjoy my surroundings, just not most of the people I have to share space with.

Then there was the ridiculousness of Mrs Prez and Mrs Veep showing up at a NASCAR race...
