hello all and good evening

im going with somewhat of a sleeper pick a Virginia boy it is but im going with #31 Jeff Burton

by grrrowlguy on Sep 11, 2010 6:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Gotta pick Smoke, that team has gotten hot, and when they get hot they get unstoppable.

by soundguy79 on Sep 11, 2010 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

hello

i am going with the 88…

by Kimberly Lynn on Sep 11, 2010 6:44 PM EDT reply actions  

Jr

would be a good different driver to win, id rather see somebody that usually dont win, a upset so to speak but if kurt or kyle get it so be it lol

by grrrowlguy on Sep 11, 2010 6:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

hopein for 88 in victory lane

I’m wanna say Jr for all obvious reasons
But going with Bowyer

by Sebring88 on Sep 11, 2010 6:46 PM EDT reply actions  

So is this gonna

be a wild demo derby race or a clean kinda ho hum one since most chase guys are in.

by grrrowlguy on Sep 11, 2010 6:48 PM EDT reply actions  

That is a good question

Twitterville seems divided. The Sirius 128 debate on Friday morning with Nate Ryan, Dustin Long, David Newton was quite interesting.

by Good2go on Sep 11, 2010 6:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

im saying a demo derby for the 2nd half but the first half will be positioning of course i been wrong many times

by grrrowlguy on Sep 11, 2010 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

i’m hoping for some excitement…can’t take a snooze fest!
I know there will be a lot of commercial that I can promise!

Its on network TV, of course there will be lots of commercials.

Most guys are in, but you still have 12 drivers who want to win to get those extra 10 bonus points, and you have those drivers who have no chance to get in who still want to win and get in the spotlight…. Last 50 will be the most interesting laps I think.

by BinkyJ45 on Sep 11, 2010 6:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah really borin no suspense to see who will get in…but richmond is awsome track ..should be some action

Tag line for the track...

Richmond is ‘the action track’ unless they changed it recently..

I’m going with Harvick to sweep.

I think I'll do something a little different this week....

I’m taking the 18…. Ok – couldn’t pick anyone else – even though his starting spot sucks!

lol

he will be up there in no time for sure!

by Sebring88 on Sep 11, 2010 6:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Kyle has always been good at Richmond, but I didn’t want to pick him, cause I don’t want him to win.

Hi all, just finishing dinner

I’m picking Harvick or Smoke, but would like to see 1st time winner, could be someone who hasn’t won before or someone who hasn’t won this year

Well I must say would like to see Jr win only because it would be poetic and I like the guy contrary to popular belief.

That said Harvick is my pick, dark horse my man Kyle from the back

by Len_DiJoseph on Sep 11, 2010 7:13 PM EDT reply actions  

Saw a tweet that Kyle missed driver intros. Can anyone confirm?

Don't know...

but can’t make much difference from his current starting position… :(

Anyone missing National Anthem?

Since we’ve complained about so many of them this year and we’re missing it right now, I was wondering.

I’m such a girl – beause I love watching prayer & anthem to see everyone…

I love the prayer and anthem even if it is bad!

I hope we see the National anthem and fly over – hopefully by the Air Guard since they are sponsoring the race.

by BinkyJ45 on Sep 11, 2010 7:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

My fave part is the flyovers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely patriotic but the singers we’ve gotten recently haven’t done well.

by Holly Hedgepeth on Sep 11, 2010 7:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

now im sure…tv will show kyle every position he passes…

Kyle Busch

Weird thing happened…they introduced Kyle but he wasn’t there.

Then they introduced him a few drivers later and he was there.

Seems to me like he missed his driver intros spot.

But NASCAR says he doesn’t have to go to the rear of the field.

Hmm…

by Jeff Gluck on Sep 11, 2010 7:26 PM EDT reply actions  

if anyone else would have missed intros they would be going to the rear

by Kimberly Lynn on Sep 11, 2010 7:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe it was NASCAR’s fault – quit trying to stir shi… stuff up… ;)

by kwms on Sep 11, 2010 7:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

always though you had to go to the rear if you missed drivers intros, not the spot you got intro’ed i guess. Its that magic nascar gray area lol. Go #18 either way

doesn’t matter where he starts he will be up front in no time…

by Sebring88 on Sep 11, 2010 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

think nascar owed him a couple anyway

good for him to finally catch a break from nascar… they are always jumping his shit for this or that

by Kaxxxxxx on Sep 11, 2010 7:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Actually I think they let kyle get away with saying and doing alot of stuff other drivers wouldn’t. They need a bad boy/troublemaker for the fans to boo.

by BinkyJ45 on Sep 11, 2010 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

every popular sport has a villan

just look at the buzz the miami heat is getting this year… they should market him as the bad boy and run with the “love to hate him” angle … seriously

by Kaxxxxxx on Sep 11, 2010 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Kyle

He is so good you all missed him the first time, I guess BK would know about his hind parts since that is all he sees when Kyle is in front of him. Yeah I went there :)

My local ABC affiliate has chosen to air the entire 30 min local newscast, which means I’m going to miss the green flag. I think I need to move elsewhere. :(

I can’t even enjoy the race I’m so mad. My local station joined the race at lap 7, just in time for a commercial break. They didn’t even say anything at the end of the newscast about the fact that they made us miss the green flag. I’m fuming. I think I need a beer (or 3) to try to calm down so I can enjoy this thing.

Advertisers

Write letters to their advertisers for the newscast and tell them you’re boycotting their products until the news channel stops missing the start of races.

Maybe that’ll help

Grooves

Dumb question:
Are the grooves on the track standard on most tracks and are they there on purpose? I never really gave it much thought until I drove the track at AMS. Going from the inner groove to the outer groove, you can really “feel” it. It’s like going from one level of road to another. Very distinct feeling but I can’t “see” it from the driver’s perspective on TV.

I know Jr.’s car has been well off this season, but I never imagined Ekstrom, in his first race with this series, would be doing better than Jr.

Ekstrom is in his first-ever race on an oval, if I heard correctly! He only even drove on an oval one other time, during a test!

precisely my point, but I have to give credit to Ekstrom for keeping that car straight and racing smart at a fairly agressive track on a very important night for drivers.

by bttrcup143 on Sep 11, 2010 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

About how the ‘one last race to make the chase’ was anything but. 10 positions were already decided before the green flag dropped. Biffle locked in pretty early and Bowyer is running well and doesn’t look like he will lose 12th. It is a bust. Nothing to really make it exciting going into the chase.

by BinkyJ45 on Sep 11, 2010 10:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Ekstrom would def be a good read I bet

by grrrowlguy on Sep 11, 2010 10:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Or maybe the drivers who won this year (jamie mcmurray comes to mind) but didn’t make the chase. Is that fair that the Daytona 500 winner/brickyard 400 winner doesn’t make the chase?

by BinkyJ45 on Sep 11, 2010 10:11 PM EDT reply actions  

If he didn’t run well enough in the other races….then yes, it’s fair.

by bttrcup143 on Sep 11, 2010 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Torn because a guy like Gordon hasn’t won but was consistant yet JMac has run well at time and won 2 but his missteps have been bad.

by Len_DiJoseph on Sep 11, 2010 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

totally fair

They didn’t change the rules to keep him out. The championship structure was set before the season started, they just didn’t perform consistently enough to get included.

by bttrcup143 on Sep 11, 2010 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t like that requirement. I like my idea of top 4 in pts, 4 guys with most win (not included in other 4) and top 4 in laps led (net included in other 8).

by jshaunburke on Sep 11, 2010 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

w/o thinking it fully thru that sounds pretty good to me

by bttrcup143 on Sep 11, 2010 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

Right now, the chase would be: Harvick, Gordon, Kyle, Stewart, Jimmie, Denny, McMurray, Kurt, JPM, Burton, Kahne, Biffle. Honestly, those are the 12 best drivers this season so I think it’s a fair and competitive system.

Meh. As is stand right now, not really looking forward to the chase. No one of interest to me in it.

And not sure if there’s much point in watching the remaining races of the season – we all know full well that most (if not all) the media will only cover the chase drivers here on out.

Guess its a good thing that football season has started.

Thank you for all the kind words!

My first commitment on every 9/11 is my airline family. Just as I was 9 years ago, I was in chicago on this fateful day. Please don’t forget that the crew members on those airplanes were the first people to sacrifice their lives..

I missed you all and look forward to next week…it’s chase time baby!!

Daytona 500 Indy 400

Hey Jeff… How profound do you think it will be that the 500/400 winner did NOT make the chase? Will NASCAR once again make changes to its Chase Rules?
NASCAR have mentioned in the past that maybe those two race winners should get a spot in the chase for winning the big races. Although Jamie McMurray won both races… his luck hasnt always held up for him. But yet he still HAS wins this season… unlike half the chase who dont even have ONE. Something else thats been mentioned in the past is to making Wins more important… one thing they did was to make it vital for the chace…although not even that seems to be the case any more…. but also that you MUST win a race to be a chase contender. I know that would maybe put some odd ball people into the mix… but you also wouldnt be leaving out guys who KNOW and have PROVEN in that season they can win.
Whats your view Jeff?
