Thanks truebigdog!

My Drivers:

*Dale Earnhardt #88*
Kyle Busch #18
Juan Montoya #42
Tony Stewart #14
Brad Kewelowski #12


In addition to the drivers above, I was fond of Denny Hamlin #12. Hamlin drove for Joe Gibbs Racing in NASCAR Busch Series. As Hamlin made the move to the Cup Series, his mentality every weekend is to rub drivers the wrong way. Anyone who follows NASCAR knows that it’s harder to pass a car than it is to wreck a car. Hamlin intentionally wrecks drivers.

Hamlin is talented. I don't have an issue with his aggressive driving style. I was a huge Earnhardt, Sr. fan. But if Earnhardt was behind you, you'd better have a faster car or else he would move you. Earnhardt's creed was, "lead, follow, or get out of the way."

Hamlin has to reach a higher level of maturity. Surprisingly, I could start to root for him again.

I pull for all RCR drivers. The reason I follow the 29 is because it is Dale Sr old car and so I have a soft spot for his son also. I was not thrilled with his move to Hendrick and it appears he has run out of talent~

Old Dog 01-17-2011 10:40 AM

I started to put "least favorite drivers" in the header as well, but there are too many of mine that fall directly in line with favorites of others. Specifically the #88, #24, #48, and often the #29.
Dale Sr was my least favorite of all time. For the same reason as some of the ones above. If he put you in the wall it was a "racing thing". If you put him in the wall it was a travesty and you were reckless.

from ESPN:
Report: NASCAR mulls points overhaul

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR is considering scrapping the points system it has used since 1975 in favor of a simpler method that awards points per finishing position, The Associated Press has learned.

The overhauling of the system is one of a handful of changes NASCAR is considering implementing before the season begins next month. Series officials have been detailing their ideas in individual meetings with teams, a person who attended one of the briefings told The AP on Monday.

The person spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity because NASCAR has not finalized its upcoming changes.

The sanctioning body wants to go to a scoring system that would award 43 points to the race winner, and one point less for each ensuing position down to one point for the 43rd-place finisher.

NASCAR is also shying away from wholesale changes to its Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format.

NASCAR chairman Brian France floated the idea last July of shaking up the Chase to create more drama to the 10-week series that determines the Cup champion. Among France's suggestions were widening the 12-driver field, instituting elimination rounds, and adding any other drama that could create "Game 7" type moments rivaling those from other professional sports leagues.

But teams have been told NASCAR is leaning toward keeping it a 12-driver field, with one caveat: The top 10 drivers following the 26th race of the season would qualify for the Chase, while the remaining two spots would go to the drivers with the most wins who are not already eligible for the Chase.

NASCAR officials have also told teams they aren't leaning toward adding eliminations.

Preseason testing begins Thursday at Daytona International Speedway, and NASCAR president Mike Helton and vice president of competition Robin Pemberton are scheduled to discuss some of the changes planned for 2011.

But the major announcements aren't scheduled until next week when France makes a presentation during Charlotte Motor Speedway's annual media tour.

France and his top officials found themselves in a precarious position at the end of last season, which was marked by the closest championship race in seven years. France had already publicly toyed with the idea of changing the Chase, which was implemented in 2004 to spice up NASCAR's championship system.

"Right now every sports league, or almost every one, is looking at what they need to do to change their formats a little or a lot, depending on who they are, to make sure their playoffs or their championship runs are what they want them to be," France said two days before the November season finale.

Three drivers went into the season finale eligible to win the championship. It went to Jimmie Johnson, who overcame a 15-point deficit to Denny Hamlin in the final race to win his record fifth consecutive title.

Because the system seemingly worked as the Chase played out last season, sweeping changes did not seem necessary.

The points system, though, apparently is a different matter.

NASCAR legend claims the current system was devised on a napkin over drinks at a Daytona bar in 1974 and implemented the next season. The complicated scoring method gives 175 points to the winner, and decreases in increments of five points and then three points down to 34 points for the last-place finisher.

Five-point bonuses are awarded for leading a lap, and to the driver who leads the most laps.

NASCAR is still debating how to award bonuses under a straight points system, and ideas being considered are for anywhere from one to three points being given to lap leaders and race winners.

RNR 01-18-2011 10:25 AM

JJ loves the chase and it is the reason for his great run. Jeff Gordon has been screwed out a couple times and Harvick would have won the title by close to 300 points last year in the old format. How can there be no reward for leading the points for the last 26 weeks of the season? He started out third in the chase :rolleyes: NASCAR trying to change to get new fans and there was nothing wrong with the original system to begin with~

CaliforniaChief 01-18-2011 10:29 AM

*shields my head from the Bud bottles*

Put me down as a big #48 fan. Yeah, yeah. I HATED NASCAR until my oldest son got into it (I have no idea how.), and he's a #48 fan so I'm with him. If that's heresy around here, my second favorite driver is the #99.

Old Dog 01-22-2011 02:42 PM

Possible qualifying change? I like this one.

(from jayski)

Change in Sprint Cup qualifying?
NASCAR is considering a new system that would change the order of qualifying. Instead of drawing for qualifying order as teams have done in previous seasons, the qualifying order would at least in part be determined by speed in the practice prior to qualifying. Teams in the Camping World Truck Series already use the system [a few times in 2010]. "It is a possibility. & We're throwing a bunch of ideas around in the meetings with the teams," NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Director John Darby said Friday. "We want to finish all the meetings, get everybody's input and then finalize some stuff." The idea is to have the faster drivers, the ones who will challenge for the pole, qualify near the end of the session and add drama to the qualifying show. It is possible that the drivers not locked in the field because their teams are outside the top 35 in owner points will still be grouped together at the end of the session.

Dylan 01-22-2011 07:28 PM

New year will bring several more changes to NASCAR.
- New Car
- New Restrictor Plate
- New Tire Rule
- New Fuel
- New Qualifying Rules
- New Points Rules
- New Points System
- New Chase

Drivers would be awarded bonus points for winning a race. In all honesty, it does not matter to the drivers what the points system is, whether its 180 points to win or 43, they will still race as hard as ever.

To be fair, there aren't too many major changes:


- New Car (New model "specific" noses, remove the splitter. Good)
- New Restrictor Plate(They change the damn thing every race, no big deal. Smaller plate likely because the new, fast, asphalt=probably more exciting Daytona unless they ride in protest like last year. Good)
- New Tire Rule( Not sure about this)
- New Fuel (Ethanol. No difference)
- New Qualifying Rules (Change the order, no difference unless you actually watch qualifying)
- New Points Rules(No difference. Literally it makes no damn difference whether 1st=43 points or 175 points)

- New Chase (actually be kind of cool if they deliver. 2 guys with most wins outside of top 10=chase._

Can you say, "sandbagging"? :)

Quite often conditions in a qualifying round favor the guys who go out early in the session. We've all seen it.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. age 76, is preparing for another Daytona 500. The perennial fan favorite is hoping to finally get it right after another season of frustration. Earnhardt's new crew chief, Chad Knauss Jr, is hoping to change the luck of Earnhardt Jr, who has not won a Viagra Cup race since 2008 in Michigan. Earnhardt's new car owner, Leo Benjamin Gordon, son of Nascar legend Jeff Gordon, is hoping the crew chief change will bring a championship for Earnhardt Jr. Gordon says, "He's been sticking around for a long time and we're confident he's going to get it right".

Chase will go to top 10, plus 2 biggest winners: Twelve NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers will make the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2011 -- the top 10 in points and the two drivers not in the top 10 who have the most race victories in NASCAR's 26-race regular season. NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France is expected to confirm that arrangement, along with a points system that gives 43 points to race winners and then one-point increments down to just one point for the last-place finisher. Each driver who leads a lap will get one bonus point, and regular-season race winners are expected to get two or three Chase bonus points for each victory. There will be no knockout rounds in the Chase, as NASCAR had hinted at earlier

New Qualifying Procedure  The qualifying order will be set based upon slowest to fastest practice speeds.
Inclement Weather Qualifying  If bad weather cancels qualifying, the final starting lineup will be determined by practice speeds. The same rule book procedures will be used to determine eligibility to start a race. If weather cancels practice sessions, then the starting lineup will be set by points, per the rule book.

Yeah, NASCAR is MUCH more interesting live than it is on TV IMO.
The #14's Primary sponsors are Office Depot for 22 races, Burger King for 2, and (unbeknownst to me until I looked it up just now) Mobil1 for 11 races this year.

There will be no knockout rounds in the Chase, as NASCAR had hinted at earlier

That may backfire on Nascar if a driver like Boris Said or Marcos Ambrose win both the road coarses and get into the chase.

Daytona 500 is the most exciting track on the NASCAR circuit. It's also of the the world's ten most dangerous racetracks.

2010 Daytona 500: Jamie McMurray Wins -- McMurray held off Dale Jr. to win the Daytona 500. I agree with DW, "He looked like daddy coming through there." Jr moved up 10 positions in one lap -- going from 10th to 2nd. All Jr needed was 1/2 a lap and he would've won.

Daytona International Speedway

Fatalities: 28 (Drivers)

Major Incident: The death of Dale Earnhardt on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 is certainly the one of the most legendary. Racing for his second win at the 500, Earnhardt hit the wall at about 160 mph, killing him instantly. It was referred to as Black Sunday by the Sporting Press, a title that it keeps to this day.

Why It's Dangerous: According to the Orlando Sentinel, since its opening in 1959 Daytona International Speedway has claimed 28 drivers. The track is banked at 31 degrees in the corners, and 18 degrees on the start/finish straight.

True, but in order to get in via number of wins they would also have to be in the top 20 in points.

According to everything I could find they are saying he died due to injuries received in the crash. He was in a vegetative state after the crash.

This wreck actually was caused by a car not seen in this video.

Before this video footage begins, Jack Ingram lost an engine and slowed drastically. #43 Freddie Smith (the car seen in the first ten seconds here) spins and is struck by #50 Joe Fresson. Fresson is the car that comes to a stop further down and nailed by #04 Delma Cowart, resulting in the fiery crash.

Don Williams is in the #68 is the car seen at 0:20 going backwards from the wall.

Wow ... Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica was seriously injured Sunday in a Rally car crash in Italy just a few weeks out of the start of the F1 season. Tough break. Kubica is rising star in Formula 1 series. :(

Guess not anymore!

CNN) -- Formula One driver Robert Kubica has suffered serious injuries after crashing a car during a rally in Italy -- his Lotus Renault team have confirmed.

The 26-year-old Pole lost control of his Skoda Fabia car at the beginning of the Ronde de Andorra rally near the town of Testico, causing the vehicle to leave the road at high speed and hit the wall of a building.

Kubica was taken to the Hospital Santa Corona di Pietra Ligure, with Italian media sources reporting he suffered multiple injuries to his arm and hand.

Confirming the accident, Lotus Renault said in a statement: "Robert Kubica was airlifted to hospital this morning after suffering an accident at high speed while competing in the Ronde di Andora Rally and is currently undergoing medical checks.

"Lotus Renault GP will issue another statement as soon as more information is known about Robert's condition."

Kubica's co-driver, Jakub Gerber, was unhurt in the incident.

Kubica, who has one grand prix victory to his name and finished eighth in last season's Formula One driver's standings, is no stranger to serious accidents during his motorsport career.

He had to undergo surgery to his left arm after an accident while driving in the Formula Three discipline in 2003 and also suffered a spectacular crash in the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix.

The first race of the 2011 Formula One season takes place in Bahrain on March 13.

RedNeckRaider -- I get the feeling this is a Nationwide race at Daytona. Check out the car in front of Harvick -- Funny. Drama galore -- Sponsorship from Miccosukee Indian Gaming was terminated in all three of NASCAR's series in Feb 2010. The Indian tribe had been sponsoring Kyle Busch's truck & Cup driver Almirola. Miccosukee also had a contract to sponsor a driver in Nationwide full-time. It was crazy -- Teams were left without a sponsor for Daytona and beyond.

I'm mostly sure owner Jim Finch and Phoenix Racing took the "tribe" to court for breach of contract.

Hopefully, it didn't wind up in tribal court.
