any nascar fans

Anyone here a nsacar fan besides me. Well have some work to go do before the race so time to log off.

If so who's your favorite driver and how do you feel about nascar letting toyota into nascar nextel cup and the nascar truck series racing.

I am very upset about it, glad to see waltrip get fined and docked points. I hope the toyotas drop straight to the back or just drop out of the race. Dale Jarret used to be one of my fav drivers but not now trader.

My favorite drivers are Matt Kenseth 17 and Edwards 99

i like dale jr cause hes sponsored by my favorite beer.........BUDWEISER!!!!!!!!....thats all that matters, go dale!!!!!

not very much today, one just crashed and burned, fords and chevy out front.

   What a race at the end.Kind of uneventful in the beginning,but that's plate racing.I usually root for my hometown buddys teams,not the drivers....York,Maine represents:

Ben Chase-Jackman,Denny Hamlin's Busch team
Brian Chase-Jackman #8 Dale Jr.
Dave Hansen-shock specialist #20 Tony Stewart
Troy Prince-rear tires,trackbar adj.Formerly on the #8 DEI team.Currently on Dale Jarret's Toyota team.(I guess he went were the money was)    


   As far as Toyota being on the cup circuit,it's a global economy.No one pitched a bitch when they went truck racing,but what a blackeye this event was for them.Probably not the publicity they were looking for.

How do you arrange to ski in the lake at Daytona? The pre-race program showed some ski jumps in the lake. I a$$ume there is a course somewhere in there too ?!?!?

A couple of years ago I a$$igned cars to my daughters to chear on.

#48 - Lowes / Jimmie J.
#20 - Home Depot / Tony S.
#24 - Dupont / Jeff G.
#38 (?) M&M car for obvious reasons

my wife picked #8 Dale Jr.

I stuck by the #22 Cat car

Needless to say everyone else in the family wins, but me. (except for Daytona several years ago when Sterling M. decided to get out of his car to fix his fender and cleared the way for Ward B. to win)

Today we all crashed. Was hoping Mark M would finally get the big win at the end, but it was an exciting fininsh!

Joke - A Canoe Race

(thought it was fitting given the discussion)

A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (General Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.

The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to
investigate and recommend appropriate action.

Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.

Feeling a deeper study was in order, American
management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course,
that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 a$$istant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that
would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program," with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.

The next year the Japanese won by two miles.

Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new
equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India.

We go to Talladega every year and been pullin for Schrader. This will probably be his last year.   Who was that a$$ that flew down pit road on that caution and came back on the track and took out Schrader 21, I think it was D Blaney.

it was the 22 cat car, not 100%sure but I do believe it was blaney. There is always next week for the ford boy's. I am not to worried, they invented plate races to slow the ford's down so the chevy could catch them. I am only kidding don't anyone get made. All the teams do a great job of putting on a great show.

I'm still one of Mark Martin's biggest and most long-term fans, even though he broke my heart and dressed in a bowtie. But after multiple reviews of the unfolding accident, when you first saw smoke coming from Kyle Busch's car triggering the accident, I believe Harvick was ahead. So I'm ok with it. I was there and if you had your head out the window you could have heard me screaming in Michigan.   

87BFN (James), You are hereby invited, nope, sorry, it's a mandate, that you attend the 600 race with us here in Charlotte over Memorial Day weekend. We've got the best set-up known to man for watching a Cup race and we can bring a large handfull of guys in with us to partake. It's also a big and long weekend of boating and Correct Crafts, so what-say we tie them together. You other race fans need to crawl out of the woodwork and make this weekend with us. Call me if you like for details, 704-451-5080, but I guarantee you'll never see and enjoy a race better, no matter how much you pay for a ticket. And that's before you combine it with a Fri-Sat-Mon of CCFan boating. Plus you can tour most of the race shops. Heck, Dale Jr LIVES here in Mooresville and has a '66 Nautique. OK, that's stretching it, but he does live here.      

Reidp when would I have to know for sure that I was going to go. I would like to go just a matter of work. Please let know a date that you would need to know by. Sounds like a great time. NOt sure the BFN would make that trip, but as long as I don't have to work I would.

sounds cool reid I will shoot you an email before the week end.

Hey reid, can we come?

MM, Wow, how did you manage to get a photo of Dale Jr, Martin Jr and Keith Richards? As long as you can bring those guys, you're in like flynn. Still got lots of room.

'79, that looks like some kind of energy drink to me. When you get his age, you need that stuff, esp with a nice young girlfriend.
