Gentlemen (and Ladies), Start your engines!!!
 

NASCAR season is here
Bud Shootout is tonight
Daytona 500 next week



the 'neck in me is excited

I only know about NHRC My redneck is redder than yours.

I just somehow can't respect the "Nextel Cup".

Round and round she goes...

Lawnmower racing is far more swank...

LOL! There are Nacar parties going on all over town tonight. We were invited to 3. We did not show up at any of them.

This is how bad we've got it.....


Taped the Bud Shootout to take Kat to the movies....but not after I had allready watched all the pre-race.

DID NOT watch the news or check the internet except for this site last night.....saw this thread but did not open it....watched the Shootout last night after Kat went to bed...tried to stay awake but couldn't...so stopped it in the middle......this morning before I even got out of bed, I watched the rest!


I was rooting for Tony Stewart...but had bet on Jeff Gordon (who I can't stand!)...I was hoping my bad luck would rub off!


This week, It'll be NASCAR central at our house...Gatorade 125's are Thursday, then Saturday the BUSCH race then Sunday is the biggie!!!!

Daytona 500 Baby!



Yep...I'm a redneck! :D

But I can still be swanky....We had season tickets to the Texas race and the last time we went, I filled my Starbucks coffee thermos with KJ Chardonnay! :)

im not a huge fan anymore, but my little brother and dad are... theyre watchin the race today :)

I am part of a fantasy league on espn.com...
if you are interested in playing, let me know...I'll give you the group name and password.
it is free, just braggin rights...

Is this even written in English??? Sounds toooo complex for me!!! Except for the words, 'Starbucks' and 'Chardonnay,' I'm lost. :evil:

I watched the Indy 500, and I was thinking that if they left earlier they wouldn't have to go so fast.

We live in a Nascar nation. There are plenty of people named "Dale" running around to prove it.

I don't know a whole lot about Nascar, but I do know who Jeff Gordon is. Just curious, why is he so disliked?

I dislike Jeff Gordon, because he shares the name of a red-haired little jerk I knew in junior high. I think everyone else dislikes him because of those ads with him and his wife eating chili and Fritos. If I already didn't dislike him because of the name association, I'd like him for the commercials, because as necky as it is, chili and Fritos are really good together.

The end.

;) How can you dislike anyone named Jeff?

I am gonna spell this name wrong, but oh well...

Kevin Hardewick is from here, and he has got to be one of the most obnoxious punks I have ever seen...

So I see we're going to have to have a little Nascar 101 so everyone can play along?


Jeff Gordon came into Nacar racing in the late 90's...He was good...really good from the start...racing and beating alot of the guys who had fought their way up to be as good as they were...Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty....anything with asphalt, he could drive on it...anything with wheels..he could power it like no other...and he won everything...almost every week he was winning...it was basically "The Jeff Gordon Show"...

Now I admire his racing..he's truly gifted. Anyone who can drive a car at 200 mph, pass cars within an inch of each other, all while strapped into a car where you can't even move your head deserves to be admired!

BUT..he had a little cocky attitude to match what he was doing...

I think it's just a Nascar thing...you either love him or you hate him!


Kevin Harvick is a little punk! He had the hardest job in Nascar...taking over Dale Earnhardts car after he was killed and won in it only three races into it! BUT..I actually like him...He's not afraid to say what he thinks...except sometimes I think he doesn't think before he speaks...He's got a temper, which he shares often...I actually like a little spunk in a driver!

OH...thanks for those words of love Claire!!! :rolleyes: ;) :p

I know your really a Redneck at heart! :p

On my way out to the California Speedway to get my 'neck on...

Hope you had a good time! Thought of you while I watched the pre-race!

Is my 'neck showing?

NASCAR is slowly growing on me. One of my best friends is a big ole Dale Jr. loving NASCAR watching freak, and I think it's rubbing off on me. I haven't actually watched a race yet, but I've been asking him a lot of NASCAR questions, and I don't fast forward the NASCAR segments of Sportscenter anymore! :eek:
