No Aussie flags were flown

I'm guessing you are correct, I just don't agree with it. (unless it's even amongst all nations)

Maybe it's because GM cars are made in Canada?

Sad but true huh?

Did you see today where Gibbs racing is in deep doggie doo-doo? Seems both of their National cars were caught at post race inspection with magnets under the accelerator. Had something to do with how much HP the cars would report putting down when run on a chassis dyno. Fit has hit the shan I believe...

It always has been as long as I've been going to the races there.

It's about 60 Miles from the border and downtown Detroit.

It is Michigan International Speedway after all, and owned by the International Speedway Corporation.

I must have been thinking about Chicagoland being in the southern part of the state. I guess I don't know the midwest too well. Thanks for the clarification

Night race at Bristol!

If you watch only one race of the year, it should be a Bristol race

Venom351R · Aug 23, 2008

Been watching since the green flag. JR's tire does not look good

Kraw · Aug 23, 2008

KyBu is a little bitch and got his tonight. What a sore loser That dude will beat and bang on anyone, and someone taps him he gets all bent out of shape

Glad it was Carl that beat him AND spun him out as hey expressed his frustration after the end

Venom351R · Aug 24, 2008

Yeah that was

I feel asleep but caught the highlights this morning. Its not like Edwards bumped him w/ 1 lap left, there were 34 left he had plenty of time to try and pass him or even bump him back out of the way but to do it after the race is just childish. I'm officially on the K.Bush hater bandwangon now. I like Edwards, him and Stewart are the drivers I watch the most.

Kyle's a whiny little beeyotch.

First off I am a Rousch Racing fand ahope Edwards wins the championship. BUT Busch got screwed by NASCAR Saturday. I was at Bristol and saw the domination Busch put on. He would get a lead of about a quarter track on Edwards and then NASCAR would throw a phantom debris caution which all but one where BS. It was bordering on obscene the last 30 laps.

It took Busch 3-5 laps to get his tires warmed up after each caution and then he would just pull away from Edwards and Gordon. Edwards just took advantage of the situation placed in his lap and tried to spin him out in a turn which is a definite no-no. Im was kinda torn with the win, I was happy a Ford won but it was defiantly a dirty win.

Kraw · Aug 25, 2008

I could have sworn that ESPN zoomed in on every piece of debris on the track

and seriously, it's Bristol... every car out there was beat up. If any track is going to have debris on it, it's that place

Then how come there werent like 5 or 6 cautions for debris in the nationwide race the last 30 laps? There were just as many cars, just as much banging, but a total of about 5 cautions all race and they were for actual wrecks.

I am not buying it, I would be willing to wager if that was one of the Hendrick boys running 1st and Busch chasing they wouldnt have thrown those cautions.

Kraw · Aug 25, 2008

so, you don't think there's any bias towards JGR this season? Look at what the shrub has done. Can any one car seriously, consistently start in the back and run to the front every time?

NASCAR want's yota to win and win big. Yota has a lot of money tied up into this series. I'm sure the France family is well paid to allow this travesty to happen

COramprat · Aug 25, 2008

I didn't get to see the whole race since I had to get up early for work but I watched the replay. Carl's bump on Kyle was Bristol. It happens every race. He also pointed out in the post race that he thought about whether Busch would have done the same thing if the roles were reversed...I hollered HELL YEA at my computer screen. We all know he would have done it.

Kraw · Aug 26, 2008

HELL YEAH!

Kraw · Aug 26, 2008

Hey Rick, we are gearing up for the AMS race. Want me to reserve you a seat?

COramprat · Aug 26, 2008

I'd love too...but...

I'm out of vacation time. I need to plan this for next years and get my time set aside.

No I really dont think NASCAR is doing any favors for JGR or Toyota. Just look at how they are taking away power to their cars, look at how they hammered them for the magnets.

Plus since the day Stewart arrived on the NASCAR scene he has been a thorn in the side of the NASCAR brass and they would not do anything to give him an edge. The same can be said for both Busch brothers. Its quite obvious the fans hate Kyle Busch and I dont particularly like him either, but I am getting to like him more because its funny people whine when someone who is at this point clearly better than everyone else is cocky about it. Jordan, Bird, Montana, Elway, Brady, etc were all at the top and just as cocky if not more.

If Busch can pull out this championship it could be the best season ever by a driver. He has lead the most laps in the nationwide and cup series, he was the best car in both races at Bristol but ran out of laps to come back in the nationwide and got hosed in the cup race.
