Nascar is so boring. It would be so much more awesome if the cars crashed more and the track was more interesting. Plus they should give the drivers paintball guns. :devil:

actually when you know what is going on, nascar is very interesting.  most people just don't see the cars locking up into patterns, it becomes like a football game when you understand how it all works

and i didn't like gordon long before jr hit the scene

if you have a basic understanding of who's who, try listining to a race on the radio, and transposing the announcers words into your minds eye.  That makes things clearer.

I thought the point of NASCAR was the crashing..........?

no, you always get that mixed up....you are thinking of Hockey.  like when you go to watch a fight and a hockey game breaks out.

4 wide with 19 laps left?  with the full knowledge that "the big one" hadn't happened yet?  wow.  who thought that was a good idea?

caution at 3 laps how gay is that; but it was an exciting run at the end.

it looked like 24 was out of it for a while, how the hell did he get back in front....nice
Title: Daytona
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on February 20, 2005, 05:23:04 pm
hell of a finish.  i like the fact that a race can no longer end under caution.

as soon i saw 97 drop to help gordon i knew it was over.  i just can't beleive what a final 5 laps that was.  exciting.  

congrats to all the 24 fans .
your team did good.

no, dale came in 3rd.  hell it was a great race.  he took the lead but then right before that final yellow gordon got a good run on him.  hell of a good finish.

That last 15-20 laps was absolutely kickass. :D My man Martin didn't get to the front, but he did manage to narrowly miss a few incidents, and sixth place isn't too bad.  Anyone who calls NASCAR "boring" obviously didn't watch this race.
