Disclaimer Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I watched a little. Good for that kid and the Wood Bros.Makes me jealous I wasn't running the 500 when I was that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I agree w/ NickI was kinda surprised France didn't let Jr. win again, since it was the 10th anniversary of Sr's death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 It's not the same as it was 10 years ago. I can't keep interested in it anymore. Leveling the playing field with the "car of tomorrow" took a lot of the competitiveness out of it. Indycar isn't any better. It IS fun to go to a race, but watching on tv, not so much any more.

Tpoppa Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 It was definitely cool to see Bayne win. At that level, this kind of story just doesn't happen anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Its been a long time since someone his age has showed up able to actually drive.

J_Copeland Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Congrats to Trevor !!!Being a long time fan and follower of NASCAR,I,d like to say that the plate track racing SUCKS !!!! That was the most BORING race I have ever watched !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Its been a long time since someone his age has showed up able to actually drive. Gordon was probably the last one and he has been around quite awhile now.During the race, they mentioned something about how Gordon took Bayne 'under his wing' this week. And taught him about the track. Apparently, Bayne was paying close attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Its been a long time since someone his age has showed up able to actually drive. Gordon was probably the last one and he has been around quite awhile now.not to be a nascar hater or anything but there are plenty of kids his age out there who are more than capable of driving at that level, they are just not going into nascar. a good amount of kids his age are trying to make it into european gp series that will broaden their career opportunities instead of just sticking with nascar sanctioned racing. and last time i checked this kid named sebastian vettle just took home a formula world title at the ever so ripe age of 21......

kawi kid Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Understood e. That's why you aren't seeing this is nascar. They are all going to different series. And he actually turned 20 on saturday so this was his belated birthday present lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimbrandt Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Only caught little parts of it.... not excited about the two by two racing. Takes away the 200 mile n hour freight train. carl edwards finished 2nd........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Go fast, turn left. What happened again? There was a race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSB67 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Not a NASCAR fan. Watched Pastrana's race a little while back, he got fifth by avoiding trouble. Watched Carmichael's truck race from Friday, he ran 2nd most of the race behind his teammate, eventually got freight-trained on a restart, avoided trouble, got 8th. I actually watched that race very quickly by fast-forwarding through the single-file parts and cautions.Didn't see the 500 - was it like the truck race where the fast line was just to stick your LF on the double yellow and run single-file around the bottom? Commentators were blaming it on the repave - almost seemed like they were apologizing for the boring.In my opinion speedway racing is just like driving 200mph bumper-to-bumper on the freeway for hours, stopping for gas once in awhile, just waiting for someone to screw up. Seems anyone can win on luck - I'm not amazed some random kid won Daytona, I'm more amazed that Jimmie Johnson has consistently won championships. I guess it's just a matter of putting yourself in the right place at the right time.Oval track racing in general is more about car setup that driver. You just need a guy physically and mentally fit to be consistent over a race distance. I'm not at all surprised by Pastrana and Carmichael's apparent roundy-round "ability" - they both have some serious teams behind them.I also generally hate any form of racing with pit stops.

RSVDon Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yes, because LeMans cars making pit stops after 2 hours at over 120 mph, along a 9 mile twisting track, make things so shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
