Nationwide Series from Vegas: Live chat thread

Feb 27 5:55p by Jeff Gluck

The Nationwide Series race is getting close to starting here in Las Vegas. Let’s start a little chat room here.

If you post a response, I’ll try my best to answer your questions.

Pretty sure Kyle Busch is going to win today. And of course, there’s the John Wes Townley/Danica bet.

Discuss.

Do you like this post?

Wait…was that a joke or really? A real live Menard fan???

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:00 PM EST up reply actions  

Yea. I am Menard fan! Mainly because he joined Yates Racing last year. I was and still am a Yates fan.

by Cliff Cox on Feb 27, 2010 6:02 PM EST up reply actions  

Damn dude…I salute you! Do you ever follow @canadian_speed on twitter? He is like the biggest Menard hater ever…but it’s kind of funny.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:03 PM EST up reply actions  

I don’t want to follow people that are gonna hate on my drivers. Also rooting for Jason Leffler & Mike Wallace. I hate Keselowski!

by Cliff Cox on Feb 27, 2010 6:06 PM EST up reply actions  

Wow, you definitely like the underdogs, Cliff!

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:10 PM EST up reply actions  

I like this chat thing. U should do this tomorrow!

I might…hard to keep up with so much stuff during the race. But I might!

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:14 PM EST up reply actions  

If u think my picks in the Nationwide are underdogs. U wanna hear who I root for in the Cup series?

by Cliff Cox on Feb 27, 2010 6:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Of course. Terry Cook and Travis Kvapil? :)

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:29 PM EST up reply actions  

U guessed one. Paul Menard, Travis Kvapil, David Gilliland, Elliott Sadler, & Regan Smith. Oh and I forgot to mention I also like Stephen Leicht in the Nationwide. I just wish he was in a better car and make some races.

by Cliff Cox on Feb 27, 2010 6:34 PM EST up reply actions  

Hey I like Paul too Jeff!

You do??? I didn’t know that! Wow, that’s hardcore!

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:09 PM EST up reply actions  

I’m with Jeff on this one…Paul Menard has fans? I’m more shocked to hear that than anything I’ve heard this whole day…

by ScottyfromGA on Feb 27, 2010 6:13 PM EST up reply actions  

What else have you heard shocking today? Besides Scott Speed peeing in the shower?

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Buckshot

How’s this one:

Anyone remember Buckshot Jones? My hubby and I were HUGE Buckshot fans to the extent I’ve still got some hard feeling about Kyle Petty the way things were handled when he was let go. He was the first driver I ever knew who talked to fans online. He chatted with us some on this website. I STILL miss that guy.

How’s that for an underdog? LOL

by Drusylla on Feb 27, 2010 6:21 PM EST up reply actions  

That’s pretty impressive! Props to you!

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:24 PM EST up reply actions  

Yup, I can blame it on a friend of mine, I stood in line to get her his autograph years ago and he won me over when I told him all of the stuff he was signing was for her birthday and we had a 5 minute convo about her and he signed the pic to her “Happy 26th birthday”…..after that I had to cheer for him.

by Scrapgirl933 on Feb 27, 2010 6:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Aww, that’s cool. Sometimes it’s the little things, huh?

TV

What channel will today’s race be shown when it goes over its time slot? Stay on ESPN2?

by BSargentOKC on Feb 27, 2010 5:58 PM EST reply actions  

That’s a good question, but I think they’d move whatever other programming was supposed to come on. They don’t typically move a live event.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:01 PM EST up reply actions  

Let’s hope its not like the time ABC punted us for the funniest home videos at the end of the race!

maybe that will work to the other drivers advantage…Jeff make JJ your winner every week lol

that is so what he needs to do! as soon as I see his ‘pick’ wreck out, I think, ‘oh, no, not again!’ lol

Yeah but I picked JJ last week and he won, so it didn’t work. He’s immune to it. I tried, sorry.

Well, apparently it just did!

Not on purpose! I just stink at guessing. But remember here last year…Kyle was AWESOME…then he wrecked by himself.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:02 PM EST up reply actions  

Good Point! I guess there’s always hope. LOL!

I have to admit I’m picking biased but I’m going with Harvick. Was an awesome lap he posted. Would be nice to see a rebound after last week too.

Danica

I’m guessing she’s going to be the first wreck!

Bet re Danica-JWT

Still think Danica will come out on top – She wants to learn, she knows she has a lot to learn and she won’t give up.

by Ceejaytravels on Feb 27, 2010 6:03 PM EST reply actions  

JWT is up 2-0 though…he could be up 3-0 going into June. She is way slow here, I gotta say. I’m just being honest.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Understand – but I am all for the underdog!!!

is it important to let folks know that its her last time in the car for 4 months? Sheesh….

Command for racing

Seriously, these people need training – Kate Walsh did a great job in CA – some of them, especially the men are just wimpy. Where’s their excitement? Looking forward to the day when I can give the command. Jeff- can you help me with that?

by Ceejaytravels on Feb 27, 2010 6:08 PM EST reply actions  

Maybe the men need a couple of samples of Extenze first! Women are always fired up…about racing!

by MsKit on Feb 27, 2010 6:09 PM EST up reply actions  

only 27 and I thought about trying a few samples….and im being serious about that!

by ScottyfromGA on Feb 27, 2010 6:11 PM EST up reply actions  

I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do the command. I practiced in my car once. Someday…

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:11 PM EST up reply actions  

New command

Is there some reason they use “drivers” instead of something like “ladies and gentlemen”?

by Andrew Glazier on Feb 27, 2010 6:08 PM EST reply actions  

It sounds weird to say “Lady and gentlemen.” Plus that’s too many words. I’m just guessing, but I like them sticking to four words.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:12 PM EST up reply actions  

Don’t you think its kinda funny how Dale Jr wants to be called Dale, but in that NW insurance commercials Pops Eury calls him Junior?

you and me both, Junior….I will start saying it all day now…

by ScottyfromGA on Feb 27, 2010 6:09 PM EST reply actions  

I called him Dale the other day…no reaction. I was wondering if it’d get a smile or something.

Danica says she is going for a top 25 today. What do you think about that, Better of Worse?

Thats the reply i was hoping to get, but dont judge me as a Danica hater

by JBeck on Feb 27, 2010 6:14 PM EST up reply actions  

I don’t hate her I just think that if she wants to come over to NASCAR then do it all the way don’t come for 3 races and go back to IRL for 6 months! Make a decision.

"It's better to be a lion for a day than a lamb your entire life"

by MsKit on Feb 27, 2010 6:17 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah but that’d never work…she’d make the jump and fail…at least now she can fall back on IRL

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:18 PM EST up reply actions  

im saying at least 2.

by JBeck on Feb 27, 2010 6:16 PM EST up reply actions  

i mean to be honest she was almost a half lap down before the green flag, and i dont see her going anywhere but back

by JBeck on Feb 27, 2010 6:17 PM EST up reply actions  

I’d say 3 based on her last performance

"It's better to be a lion for a day than a lamb your entire life"

by MsKit on Feb 27, 2010 6:18 PM EST up reply actions  

only way she gets a top 25 is if everyone else wrecks out.

by Scrapgirl933 on Feb 27, 2010 6:16 PM EST up reply actions  

HA…they went to Jamie Little and she had a track blower right behind her….nice producing ESPN!

by ScottyfromGA on Feb 27, 2010 6:14 PM EST reply actions  

Alright Jeff did you see Kyle's interview during rain delay

When asked about Brad K. (who was up with Allen, Rusty and Brad) said he was aggressive like h was at one point but Kyle claimed he didn’t wreck people EVERY week like Brad does (alledgedly) Do you agree with him?

by SubmarineMike on Feb 27, 2010 6:15 PM EST reply actions  

much as I hate to say it…hard to wreck people when you are out front with clear track ahead

by trishalistic on Feb 27, 2010 6:18 PM EST up reply actions  

I didn’t see the interview…but most drivers agree with Kyle.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:19 PM EST up reply actions  

Did Rusty Wallace just say “Warsh”?!? AHAHHAHA!!

by ScottyfromGA on Feb 27, 2010 6:18 PM EST reply actions  

Warsh was he referring to?

brad and kyle r alot alike..they dont car about makin friends..like care about the win..

by dalejrfangirl on Feb 27, 2010 6:19 PM EST reply actions  

I would agree with that…I don’t think you’re far off there.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:23 PM EST up reply actions  

oh please Trish

Kyle has wrecked a LOT of drivers. Why do you think a lot of the truck series drivers hate Kyle.

I thought we were just talking cup…sorry Mike-totally true in trucks

Kelly Bires already into the wall. what was junior thinking hiring him.

by JBeck on Feb 27, 2010 6:19 PM EST reply actions  

I think Kelly is a good driver…he has talent. Just my opinion.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:21 PM EST up reply actions  

i agree he has talent and everyone has their opinion, but i dont think he can deal with the pressure of driving with junior that everyone is putting on him.

by JBeck on Feb 27, 2010 6:24 PM EST up reply actions  

don’t think that was Kelly’s fault. Looks like something broke or a tire went. Can’t blame that on him. He’s a great talent if given the chance!

by Scrapgirl933 on Feb 27, 2010 6:21 PM EST up reply actions  

Pops is saying something broke on the car for sure

"It's better to be a lion for a day than a lamb your entire life"

now that i saw the replay is obviously wasnt his fault.

by JBeck on Feb 27, 2010 6:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah my issue was with his claim

he didn’t wreck people when he was aggressive. Agian he is a hypocrite

by SubmarineMike on Feb 27, 2010 6:20 PM EST reply actions  

6 laps in and already a wreck, WTF.

Quick story about Kelly Bires

So the other night I was at this go-karting event that Kurt Busch was hosting. And in the prelim round, all the NASCAR drivers who were there had a heat race.

Kelly Bires was fastest — he beat Kurt, Montoya, Truex, Keselowski, Hornish, etc….

So the guy can drive, clearly!

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:22 PM EST reply actions  

I agree-he has it in him

by trishalistic on Feb 27, 2010 6:25 PM EST up reply actions  

agree as well, he’s a great talent. I just hope JRM sticks with him enough to show it.

Scott Speed

Why did Speed have to race in for tomorrow? Is that something he is going to have to do every week?

by Amanda Eberts on Feb 27, 2010 6:26 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah…he wasn’t in the top 35 last year. So he’ll have to race in for the first five races. But he’s doing well enough that he should be in the top 35 after that. He just needs to make sure he doesn’t miss a race.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:28 PM EST up reply actions  

he seems like a good guy…except for that peeing in the shower deal

by trishalistic on Feb 27, 2010 6:30 PM EST up reply actions  

the nascar site says he finished 35th in points last year though?

by JBeck on Feb 27, 2010 6:31 PM EST up reply actions  

35th in drivers points, but the 82 was like 37th in owners points. He raced 2 races in Nemechek’s 87 car

only thing better would be Brad to win and both Dimmy Hamlin and Kryle Busch to have engine problems LOL

Dimmy and Kryle? How about “John Wrecks”

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:28 PM EST up reply actions  

What are you Hmmm-ing? I don’t think that was his fault.

by Jeff Gluck on Feb 27, 2010 6:28 PM EST up reply actions  

It wasn’t his fault. But, you know, him being such a good driver and, oh yeah, if I remember YOU correctly, should have been in at Daytona rather than “that girl”. Especially since he is such a household name and, oh yeah, the sales at his trailer are….well…does he even HAVE a trailer? Or just part of one??? ;)

no i cant but its annoying when she is back in the pack 3 laps down. and they keep showing her.

I listen to Gordon during cup races and his spotter gives him minimum info. It’s weird hearing ALL the info Kyle Busch’s spotter gives him. Says “To your fender, to your door, to your hood, etc”

then he had a truck ride at Daytona and got caught in a wreck the kid just doesn’t have any luck

by bullsfan24 on Feb 27, 2010 7:37 PM EST up reply actions  

I watched him at a truck race in Talladega couple years ago. He didn’t say how the car was handling or anything, it was the spotter and crew chief telling him what to do! He finished 5th in his “learning experience”. Not 3 laps off the pace!

by jshaunburke on Feb 27, 2010 7:40 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree the kid gets it he just needs to have more time in the car and not these race 1 week and off the next 2 Dale Jr. gave Brad K enough time to learn the same with Joe Gibbs with Lagano give Landon more then just one race and I think he’ll do great

I wonder what Roush was thinking putting Stenhouse in the 6 and Braun in 16; exactly opposite of last year!

by jshaunburke on Feb 27, 2010 7:43 PM EST reply actions  

wonder why put them in Nationwide and not leave them in Truck for another year or so?

Yes they did don’t know why though, maybe there is more money in Nationwide than in the truck series

"It's better to be a lion for a day than a lamb your entire life"

I think Braun was ready. Stenhouse’s boneheaded move in ARCA couple years ago tells he he should be racing online!

kind of wondered that too….

and I hate both of those cars don’t have sponsors this week.

with all them doing bad I have to think Landon Cassill would do good and should get a ride

by bullsfan24 on Feb 27, 2010 7:47 PM EST reply actions  

well when you think about it the Nationwide series is supposed to be for the rookies and not the experienced drivers that run in the Cup series. Can’t expect them to learn in Cup.

have y’all not heard about vortex which occurs when all cars on track? With wind generated from running at full speed, keeps rain away.

Vortex Theory is DW’s theory. If DW made it up, it’s probably hogwash! LOL

by jshaunburke on Feb 27, 2010 8:05 PM EST up reply actions  

Absolutely. Was at the 600 last year, if they had just kept the cars on the track they probably could have finished the race. You could actually see the storms breaking up over the track

Didn’t park him, they saw him starting to smoke right in front of the leaders and told him that he should probably drop down before something happened

I don’t think what JWT did was worse than what AJ and Kurt Busch did. I actually think AJ and Kurt was worse and should have gotten more that what they did. But underage drinking… I guess I don’t see that as a big “no-no”. Happens all the time….everywhere.

Just wondering what the court will hand him and how hard (or easy) they will do on him. And isn’t this the first that NASCAR had to deal with the underage problem? Interesting to see what a stance they put on. But his punishment in NASCAR should be no worse than Kurt and AJ got. Just sayin’.
