- NASCAR - Yes - No ?

yup, i love nascar
 
jeff gordon and tony stewart are my favorites...i've been to about 10 races, and want to go to one this year as well :)  maybe texas, charlotte, or vegas :)
 
its my sunday religion :)

I like Nascar but I also like drag racing.
 
I got REAL interested in Nascar in 1998. Mainly cause of Racing Champions die cast.
 
Terry Labonte and Matt Kenseth are the two drivers I was interested in the most.
 
But collecting Nacar dies cast can get you into some trouble.
"Oh now I have to buy that new paint scheme they came out with even though it took me 3 weeks to find the last one."
 
I talked with a guy once who told me he had to file bankruptcy twice cause his Nascar die cast collecting got out of hand. (man they saw this guy coming didn't they?)
 
Anyone want to buy a '98 Racing Champions gold car? It's real gold ya know.
 
 
 

lol i like NASCAR,STREET,and Also NHRA racing.
 
but not sure about what driver to pick LOL
I actually like a few of them nto for wha thtey drive but from what they are like off the track and on.
 
#8 Lil "E"
#24 Rainbow Bit@# (yes i actually like him. shhhhh!! )
Also like
Mark Martin but it is more for him off the track . that an d i think anyone willing to advertise they need viagra every week publicly must have something.!!
 

i like nascar nextel cup dale jr is my fav
i like drag racing 2 nhra
 
btw i only been watching of a couple of years now and i was wondering did the nextal cup replace the winston cup series or is that a other series ?

Nextel Cup replaced the old Winston Cup name. Because it is no longer politically correct to advertise anything to do with smoking.

#8 Lil "E"

 
dont worry, we wont hold that against you....i guess someone has to cheer for him :-p lmao!!! jk jk

yeah i hear ya. but im not sure if i like him due to his father or becuse he thinks he can drive LOL
there are days i think he might have a chance then he removes all doubt.

As I said in a previous post, I am being totally turned off with NASCAR. With this new "Car of Tomorrow" deal they got going, they may as well be all IROC races.
 
Without the Chevy/Ford/Dodge rivalry who really cares, they are all going to be driving the same thing. Why would the big automakers want to sponsor this stuff, whats in it for them. "Win on Sunday--Sell on Monday" . Sell what, the car of tomorrow???
 
The NASCAR rules makers have just about completely taken all the competitvness for the manufacturer out of the equation, and IMHO this was a very big part of why NASCAR became sucessfull in the first place.
 
It used to be about who had the best cars Chev Ford Dodge, now its about "how much money can we generate from this".
 
NASCAR - North American "STOCK" Car - what a joke.

lol both of you are lost LOL
 

hey we have one of those in our store :)

I used to like NASCAR - The golden days the Winston Cup years. I also love when they started racing the Dodge Daytonas and Superbirds. I'm not too fond of NEXTEL cup right now. Especially after seeing a prototype of what the new spoiler will look like - rice!!! I also do like to watch NHRA. I don't like street racing - too dangerous, I like it legal.

Sorry for my rant.........Space, you did make me fell better.

i shoudl probbly explin the street racing. it was legal. they would close the street off for us to run and it was governed. but they changed it to the old air port and it was better there to.
but we still had to have helments,cages for certin cars etc... but it was stricktly the foot brakers and you had to run what you drove in no trailer queens allowed. so it was nice to have tow cars that were real close it became a tunners race and some points.
it was fun. just wish they would have this type of thing still. even having the safty gear didnt hamper the fun and the stand for pepole were blocked off with barricades etc.. so it was basically a track btu mon-fri till about 9:00pm it was a daily driven road.
Small towns are great LOL
 

I have always enjoyed nNscar.  Nothing like seeing who has put the best "Muscle Car" on the track for any given week.  My all-time fav is the 1st generation Monte Carlo # 12 of  Bobby Allison winning at Riverside 500 (road) Raceway in California with no 1st or 2nd gear in the last 200 miles back in the early 70's.  Yes I was there!  The new stock cars aren't really stock enough anymore but they are still awesomely cool to follow.  Big Greg Biffle fan here, too bad he's in a Ford.

yeah i can say i wish they would bring the "stock "part of the car back to the track instead of this higly engineerd version of the cars.
 
Would love to find a 03 monte carlo that was a rwd. liek to ones on the track. as in like STOCK.
 
isint this why the road runners and the supper bees had to have the wing on them for the street versions also?  or somthign like that.
i wasent alive for the raceing in those days but i hav esee allot of old film frends dad had them . even see the first race that Earnheart did on the Nascar  track. also remember seeing his yellow wrangler car on the track also.

Because it is no longer politically correct to advertise anything to do with smoking.
 
And yet........... we see so many smoking on TV when it was banned in the 1970s??????????

Guy I used to work with would tell me we that worked for Mr. Farris.
You know, "The Big Wheel."
 
 

I love nascar....
A big Tony fan here.
check my website  www.teamcanusa.com

ALSO JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW.... THE COT..... are not the same...... I am not a fan of COT but a Chevy is a Chevy
Ford still ford ect......
biggest thing that i dont like is NASCAR's push for Chevy to go to a 4 door car. That is why they went to the Impala and have not been pushing the Monte for the last couple of years....

Check this out fron Nascar....

see that car of tommorrow doesn't bother me so much anymore...i know its different...but so what..stuff changes..and if it doesn't people are going to lose interest...and its only going to be on the short tracks like bristol isn't it???
 
personally it doesn't bother me...i'll still attend worship every sunday :)  for my 4-5 hour sit down :) lol no matter what the cars look like..
 
and i know its different that they're switching to the impala..but they're not making the monte anymore and they have to use something that is still in production...so they went with the impala...doesn't bother me at all

The COT is only running at a few tracks this year and next.
By 2009 it will the car that NASCAR will be running

the only thing i really dont care for is the front air dam on the new Imp.
other then that it dont look to bad i guess i would live with it.
 
But see im still happy to have my Monte.

Is that because Ford went to the Fusion?
