Could they have made Juniors car uglier? That's a terrible paint scheme. Amp's can's are mostly green and black. They should have done more with those colors. The way it looks now, it looks more like the Bucks are sponsoring the car.

Wow, I never knew that toyota made a push rod, rear wheel drive car. I learn something new everyday!

On a serious note, what do they have for engines? I would guess a 350 based motor?

That brings up an interesting question (I know nothing about NASCAR). What are the specifications on engines? Do they all use a similar engine setup or what?

Yea, and the Taurus and Impala have RWD and V8s. :rolleyes:

It is just a sticker, Dave. At least the companies in question made the style car for 50+ years.

I would watch nascar, if they went back to "stock cars"!

I am sure that every car has a 9" Ford in it!:thumbsup

One signature on the petition for Neckcar to use camaros, mustangs, challengers and whatever junk toyota makes. At least then it would be somewhat applicable and tolerable.

If i had to choose which slack jawed yokel to win the 500 mile circle-fest, I'd say the 88.

Wow. I'd say that's the most idiotic post I've read in a long time!

428 top-tens out of 676 total starts which include 281 top-fives, 76 wins, and 7 championships.

Yup, definitely overrated.

STFU about what you obviously have no clue about.

And i bet he gets great fuel mileage too! :punch: F*ck Toyota.

On a side note, WTF Ford. Running like 3 cars, and none of the drivers are worth a shit...

I agree, he is nowhere near as aggressive as his old man was. I preferred the bully style of driving.:goof

Jr showed some Moxy last yr.

Now hes with my favorite team.

Sooooo........Go JR.

I never like his old man. I dont like dirty drivers.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you. He won 7 more championships than you, I, or anyone else on this board. There's guys racing their whole lives that never even win one. That figure alone makes him far from overrated..

I cant believe he gets away with driving like that!!!

Gordon caught a tough break. But he looked fast until that time.

The Toyotas looked fast. They are making some serious power.:wooo

The toyrotas probably whined and cried long enough to get Nascar to "IGNORE" certain rules so they could compete. Just like our government does.

The only driver that whines more than waltrip is tony poowart.

Dodge kicked ass! 6 of the top 8 cars Dodge--WOW--didn't see that coming!

I am a FORD guy--where were they??????????????????????????????????????

Stewart was pretty funny on the radio when talking about Kyle Busch. He said something about the way he's driving was giving him motion sickness watching him move up and down the track in front of him.

that Direct TV Hot Pass is kinda cool. Not a big enough fan to actually buy it, but was interesting hearing the drivers on the radio. Stewart seems to swear alot. lol

Yooformula
02-17-2008, 07:15 PM
twc had that a few years back and it was free for the daytona 500. very cool to listen to them back and forth and to have something to look at instead of commercials. the in-car was the best though.

Karps TA
02-17-2008, 07:22 PM
What was interesting was when Mears screwed up and almost took out Stewart, Tony told his spotter to ask JR if he could come up and take a look at his right front for damage. Kinda cool to hear the communications regarding that kind of stuff. Oh and Stewart calling Mears an idiot as he's getting hit.

i'd have to say that was one of the better races "all around" then I've seen in a LONG time. I watched the whole thing. Normally I just pass by it and watch golf(leaves alot to be said ;) ) but it was opposite on sunday. Not a ton of crashes which is something that I like to see, haha, but all that close racing towards the end, and the dodge boys pushing/pulling each other on the top side to the front of the whole pack, definitely made an exciting race. I like how close they were that whole time. Driver's race at this point.

How much was made of the all-new chevy engines?

Surprised by the Dodges as well...

I just wish it was like the good 'ol days where both the cars AND the engines were basically what you could buy at the dealers. Imagine if that was the case today?

Crawlin
02-19-2008, 03:20 PM
chevy's would dominate.

camry's ain't got shit for power

ford's don't have anything really spectacular in their mid sized cars

dodge's charger R/T's would be the closest competition, but I think weight too much and are aerodynamically inferior

I wish it was like the old days. A budget racing program could still work. Not a chance in today's world, haha
