Wow..

Great job by Carl.

Congratulations!

****in' banzai move by Hamlin there.

LMAO

What a push, Carl should give Brad the trophy. He wouldn't have won that without it.

Shit, Johnson still edged out Hamlin

Good for Carl, glad the best car won instead of a gas mileage win~

6.8. Touched the hand down on the dismount.

Awesome finish!

Johnson had the best car, Brad pushed the slower Edwards to the win.

Been holdin on to that one for a while huh bro :D

:spock: Carl pulled away from him every time he made a run for the last several laps~

He would have had him on that restart if Brad hadn't pushed Carl away..

I'll also say the 5 car should have been fast today. Kahne just can't get going to start the season.

LMAO I think I made that after a Nationwide race about two years ago.

Agreed it was a clutch push. But restarting was an issue and that really has nothing to do with the better car~

It was whoever was out front that was the better car today. Seems like a lot of races are like that and it is boring.

Good point Hamlin said as much post race~

That's true. But your original post said that Jimmie was faster, which I also agree with RNR wasn't true.

Sorry, a day of shopping, lunches and haircuts.... Congrats to Carl...

Fun race. Topped off by Hamlins move at the end. Cat in the hat in victory lane. #88 is strong #nascar

What a ****ing race baby!!!!!!


EDWARDS!!!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one celebrating?


Go EDWARDS!!!!!!!

It's a good win for him. Not a big fan of Ford, but for a Ford driver, he's an OK guy. Woot for Missouri for having a winner....

This was me on the last 3 laps

You kinda look like Jiro guy on "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" on Netflix... Nice!

Think I'll do me a little Nascar Racing right now. www.openspeedway.com Nascar Racing 2003. A ten year old game that'll have probably 30 racers when I log in. Best Nascar racing game ever.

little bitter sweet for me for a couple of reasons.

Being a brad k fan, seeing him push a guy that nearly killed him three years ago in atlanta is bittersweet. Brad also was pretty much the fastest car all day, but these new cars make it almost impossible to pass, as people were saying. Cant complain. Two 4th place finishes for brad to start the season.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The National Rifle Association is taking its relationship with racing to a new level as the title sponsor of a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

The deal with Texas Motor Speedway comes at a time when the NRA is involved in a renewed debate on gun violence in the wake of the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

"It's not about politics. It's about sports marketing," TMS president Eddie Gossage said Monday after the announcement of the one-year agreement with the NRA that includes a renewal option

The April 13 race at Texas, the first scheduled night race in the Cup Series this season, will be known as the NRA 500.

brought out that game a couple weeks ago. Sad there is no career mode in it, but I played Phoenix for 40 laps with easy setup and it was still fun to drive.

Cup qualifying has been cancelled. The starting line up will go by current point standings.


The standings have been updated in the OP, you're welcome.

Per the rule book, Keselowski will have the number one starting position



I will post more updates.

Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski will start on the pole for Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after qualifying was rained out on Friday.

The field was set based on 2012 and 2013 owner points.

No Dani? J.C., She needs all the seat time she could get.



Don't forget to turn the clocks AHEAD (spring - ahead) on Sunday, March 10th at 2:00am

WTF is it with the rain out there? Wasn't the entire AZ MLB spring training schedule washed out yesterday, too?

Wait...is that the same Mike Harmon who, 12 years ago, was the Luckiest Bastard Alive?

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tuzCc0hBKYE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

devastating crash - car is split in half and harmon jumps out - he must have been sitting in the car seat while the seat was on the pavement.

Heh. I'm watching the race and saying "WHAT? WHERE?!!?"

Now I realize you're referring to the clip I posted.:redface:

It was amazing. After all that, he just stood up and walked away.

LOL...

Dear NASCAR:

These cars, as much as I squint and want it to be true, do not look at all like Mustangs and Camaros.

Kthx.

chefsos, I thought the new race cars are supposed to look exactly like the new streetcars.

NASCAR lied?

lying bastages

That thingie has yet to filter down to Nationwide cars. Maybe soon...

oh that's right...Nationwide is running a different car.

It hardly ever rains in Arizona.

I think that spin right there illustrates the difference between a great driver and one who isn't great at all. Great one takes what looks like a wreck and minimizes it. Richardson almost made a little "get out of shape" deal into a big wreck; he would have if any traffic was nearby.

chefsos, I missed it. I was on the phone with Verizon FIOS - I keep losing my internet connection - what a pain in the ass...

Can you hear me now?

LMAO... i hear you...

uh oh, here comes the restart...cars are all bunched up

wow...hornish, jr. is leading

http://www.nascar.com/en_us/nationwi...oard-live.html

austin dillon running second - guy cracks me up...ewok

Pretty funny story about Kligerman. Not funny for him, I guess, but we're not here for his entertainment. Thought he was blowing up or something and took the car to the garage, only to find the problem was just a flat tire. He'll receive shit about that for some time.

Wow, Hornish is just checking right the hell out. Got 'em covered, as they used to say.

Kyle B. should win today. He has had a ton of success at his hometown track.

Although, Hornish is giving him a run for his money.

Both have fast cars - They're running about 171+ mph

Ah, lol...He races for Kyle - I think he's around 21 yrs old...He's a pretty good driver, so far -

He's a top 10 driver.

Edit: I'm impressed with Pastrana.

OFTLOG...Caution

The Dillon boys are the future of NASCAR. Running 6th and 8th.

Nelson Piquet Jr running 9th...good job so far.

Edit: 13 laps to go.

I didn't think they'd make it through the first lap after the restart...but I was too slow to type it before they went to wreckin'.

chefsos, LMAO

Caution....

Wow...hard hit on the outside wall - looks like they took the air off his car - or someone tapped him from behind.

I'm this race and most of tomorrow's :-(



Who plans a bday party on a damn Sunday?

Oh, no...



Poor Kyle Larson - He has been in some bad wrecks this season.

hope Hornish doesn't wreck the leaders...

Kyle's running the low line.

Here we go...

Sadler was all up in Hornish's shit the last restart. Everyone's going to be ****ing with Hornish this time.

Wow... Hornish is super fast - his car is a rocket.

hope he passes inspection

if he wins, he better burn that car down.

Nice racing for a few laps there, but Hornish ought to close this one out now.

Agree...Hornish is running about 178 mph... about 3 seconds ahead of the other drivers.

Edit: Hornish wins at Las Vegas

LMAO He's burning that car up!

Awesome job by Hornish.

Penske car...Driven by a two time IRL Champion

That whole "do a burnout while hanging out of the window and simultaneously catching the checkered flag" routine had potential, but he came up just a little short. I wonder if guys actually practice that.

I'm not sure, but it looks like he was practicing that burnout - It looked good.

Hamlin fined $25k by NASCAR for criticizing car

LAS VEGAS (AP) The Joe Gibbs Racing driver, who was fined $25,000 by NASCAR on Thursday for speaking his mind about the new Generation 6 cars last week at Phoenix, has vowed he won't pay the fine and will appeal. Joe Gibbs says, he will stand behind his driver.

This isn't the first time Denny Hamlin has been fined. In 2010, he was secretly docked $50,000 after speculating in an online Twitter conversation (with this author) that NASCAR sometimes threw debris cautions to tighten the field for the benefit of the show.

Hahahahahaha

WHO'S READY FOR SOME NASCAR!!!!!!!!!!

Ready.

I'll actually only miss about the first 40 minuets.


Let's go EDWARDS AND KESELOWSKI!!!!!!!!!!!


Edwards preferably :-)

The race is still a few hours away.

Doesn't mean you can't start drinking and posting drunk messages.



Knock Knock
Who's there?
Carl
Carl who?
Carl ****ing Edwards about to pass that ass up.




BOOM press on hater

Knock Knock
Who's there?
Danica
Danica who?
Danica is a mediocre driver who is ridiculously overhyped because 95% of NASCAR fans are ****ing knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers who act like they've never seen a girl before.

Can I share this with some of my co-workers?
