That was a bummer for sure! If it wasn't Clint I'm glad KH got the win, I like all those RCR guys a whole lot.

Same here, if that crash would of happened 100 yards later he would of taken the white, no green white check BS and got the win.

RCR has been really strong.

Did you see the Nationwide race last night? #3

Sure did! Gotta say my eyes got a little watery watching that all unfold. Couldn't believe he didn't burn 'em down after taking the checkered flag, I know I would have.

That #3 car was sooooo B.A.! Gotta be my favorite paint scheme of all time. I'm still confused about how that was all put together. 88 crew, Hendrick motor, RCR owned, with some backing by Jr. Motorsports. It all has me confused.

I lol'd after a comment today about how Jr. had to play the Dr. Phil role getting the Earnhardt family together for the race. Sounds like it's been a pretty rough family from day one and I think there is some bad blood between Teresa and Jr. What Jr. had to say about his "daddy" was pretty funny. "He was a lose cannon, I never knew what I was going to get from him" Seems like Jr. loved and respected Dale but sounds like he wasn't always the best father.. Just the feeling I got.

Marcus Allen's father told him that when he scored a touchdown, I like it.

Who was the running back from Detroit that retired to early? Always a class act and never needed the camera on himself. Barry Sanders wasn't it?

Fans want it

They expect it

Get mad if a driver doesn't do it



I was at a truck race in Homestead, this was a couple years back, and Hornaday had won and he did this burnout donut and there was so much smoke....and when the smoke cleared, he was standing on the roof of the truck....it was like a magic trick



That was cool

I think a lot of the spectators who go to/watch Daytona and Talladega are there to see the bigs wrecks Wink usually happens every time.

Compared to?



A f1 race?

I guess you're right, I don't have the attention span to watch a race where there is only around 3 lead changes all day and the only major drama happens off the track.

haha, no but I'd watch wrestling over F1 racing, at least I wouldn't fall asleep.


I understand the technology showcase of the sport and the fabulous driving but the competition just isn't there.

I was going to make a disparaging remark about NASCAR but I realized it would put me in questionable company so I won't.
